Micah 1
1 In pacl ma Jotham, ac Ahaz, ac Hezekiah elos tuh tokosra lun acn Judah, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Micah, su sie mwet in siti srisrik Moresheth. LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sel Micah kalmen ma inge nukewa ke Samaria ac Jerusalem.
The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Lohng ma se inge, kowos mutanfahl nukewa; Porongo ma se inge, kowos nukewa su muta fin faclu! LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac fah kaskas lain kowos. Lipsre! El kaskas liki Tempul lal inkusrao me.
Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 LEUM GOD El tuku liki acn mutal sel. El fah oatui ac fahsr fin mangon eol uh.
For behold, the LORD cometh forth from his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Na eol uh ac fah kofelik ye nial Oana kiris ma oan ke e uh. Ma inge ac fah kahkla nu infahlfal uh, Oana kof uh ke sororla pe eol uh.
And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place.
5 Ma inge nukewa ac sikyak mweyen mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ac tunyuna lain God. Tunyuna lun Israel ac sisi nu fin su? Nu fin Samaria sifacna, siti fulat selos! Ac su ac eis mwatan alu nu ke ma sruloala in acn Judah? Jerusalem sifacna!
For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not Jerusalem?
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah kunausla Samaria tuh in oana sie yol in ma musalla in acn turangang, yen grape uh yok we. Nga fah okoala eot musalsal lun siti uh nu infahlfal uh, ac oru tuh in wangin ma oan fin pwelung lun siti sac.
Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will lay bare her foundations.
7 Ma sruloala nukewa ma saok sin mwet we ac fah fokfoki nu ke ip srisrik, ac ma nukewa ma itukyang nu sin mutan ma kosro in tempul lul ma sruloala ac eis molo kac fah isisyak ke e. Mwe alyalu saya nukewa ac fah orala sie yol in ma sisila. Samaria el tuh eisani molin mutan kosro uh in akkasrupye fokin acn uh, a inge mwet lokoalok lun Samaria ac fah usla ma inge ac sang nu sin mutan kosro ke tempul lun ma sruloala in acn saya.”
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with the fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] from the hire of a harlot, and they shall return to the hire of a harlot.
8 Na Micah el fahk, “Ke sripa se inge nga ac fah mwemelil ac eoksra. Nga ac fah koflufolla foroht forma, ac tia loeyuk niuk, in akkalemye asor luk. Nga fah wowoyak oana kosro inima, ac mwemelil oana pusren sie kakowa ke fong.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Kinet ke Samaria tiana ku in mahla, ac Judah el apkuran in sun pac luman keok sacna. Mwe ongoiya sun tari mutunpot lun Jerusalem, acn su mwet luk muta we.”
For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come to Judah; he is come to the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem.
10 Nimet fahk nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr in acn Gath lah kutangyukla kut. Nimet lela elos in liye ke kowos tung. Mwet in Beth Leaphrah, kowos ipippip infohk uh in akkalemye inse toasr lowos!
Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Kowos mwet Shaphir, kowos ac som nu in sruoh, koflufol ac mwekin. Elos su muta in Zaanan tiana ku in ilme liki siti selos. Pacl se kowos lohng pusren tung in acn Bethezel, kowos ac etu na lah wangin nien wikla we.
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame exposed: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive from you his standing.
12 Mwet Maroth elos tawi ac tupan in kasreyuk elos, mweyen LEUM GOD El oru tuh ongoiya lulap apkuranyang nu Jerusalem.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited anxiously for good: but evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Kowos su muta in Lachish, kapriya horse an nu ke chariot an. Kowos etai ma koluk lun Israel, pwanang Jerusalem oru pac ma koluk.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Ac kowos mwet Judah, wilkasla nu sin acn Moresheth Gath. Ac fah wangin kasru lun siti srisrik Achzib nu sin tokosra lun Israel.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Mwet Mareshah, LEUM GOD El fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok, su ac fah sruokya acn in muta lowos. Mwet kol lun Israel fah som ac wikla in sie luf in acn Adullam.
Yet will I bring an heir to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come to Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Mwet Judah, kalla aunsifowos in asor ke tulik kowos kuloi. Koala insifowos in mangsrasrala oana sifen won vulture uh, mweyen tulik nutuwos ac fah utukla liki kowos nu in sruoh.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
