Mika 7
1 Lozako! fa efa tonga toy ny fiotazam-boankazo aho Sy toy ny fitsimponam-boaloboka, Tsy misy salohy hohanina, Na aviavy mialin-taona, izay irin’ ny fanahiko,
Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
2 Lany tsy misy amin’ ny tany intsony ny tsara fanahy; Eny, tsy misy olo-marina ao amin’ ny olombelona; Samy manotrika handatsa-drà avokoa izy, Eny, mihaza ny rahalahiny amin’ ny harato izy rehetra.
The godly man is perished out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Vonona hanao ratsy ny tànany; Mila ny mpanapaka, Azon-kolikoly ny mpitsara, Ary ny lehibe milaza ny fitsiriritan’ ny fanahiny, Koa izany no entiny mandrarirary azy.
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
4 Na dia ny tsara indrindra ao aminy aza dia toy ny roy, Ary na dia ny mahitsy indrindra ao aminy aza dia ratsy noho ny fefy tsilo; Avy ny andron’ ny tilinao, izay hamaliana anao; Amin’ izany dia vao ho very hevitra ianao.
The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Aza matoky namana ianareo, Aza mahazo am-po izay sakaiza mahazatra; Fa ambeno ny varavaran’ ny vavanao na dia amin’ izay andefimandrinao aza.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Fa ny zanakalahy manamavo ny rainy, Ny zanakavavy mitsangan-kanohitra ny reniny, Ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy; Ary ny ankohonan’ ny olona ihany no fahavalony.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Fa izaho kosa dia hanandrandra an’ i Jehovah, Eny, hiandry an’ Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy aho; Andriamanitro no hihaino ahy.
'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
8 Aza mifaly ahy, ry fahavaloko, Fa na dia lavo aza aho, mbola hiarina ihany; Raha mitoetra ao amin’ ny maizina aho, Dia Jehovah no fahazavana ho ahy.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.
9 Ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia hiaretako ihany, Fa efa nanota taminy aho, Ambara-pandahany ny teniko Sy hanomezany rariny ho ahy; Hamoaka ahy ho amin’ ny mazava Izy, Ka ho faly aho mahita ny fahamarinany.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.
10 Dia hahita izany ilay fahavaloko ka hosaronan-kenatra, Dia ilay nanao tamiko hoe: Aiza Izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao? Ho faly mahita azy ny masoko; Ankehitriny dia ho fanitsakitsaka toy ny fotaka eny an-dalambe izy.
Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her; who said unto me: Where is the LORD thy God? Mine eyes shall gaze upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.'
11 He ny andro hananganana ny mandanao! Amin’ izany andro izany dia hitarina ny faritra.
'The day for building thy walls, even that day, shall be far removed.'
12 Amin’ izany andro izany koa dia hanatona anao ny olona Avy any Asyria sy avy any amin’ ny tanànan’ i Egypta, Eny, hatrany Egypta ka hatramin’ ny Ony, Ary hatramin’ ny ranomasina ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina, Ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra ka hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra.
There shall be a day when they shall come unto thee, from Assyria even to the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Nefa ho lao ny tany noho ny amin’ ny mponina eo aminy, Dia noho ny vokatry ny asany.
And the land shall be desolate for them that dwell therein, because of the fruit of their doings.
14 Ny tehinao no ento miandry ny olonao, Dia ny ondry lovanao, Izay monina mitokana, dia any an’ ala ao an-tampon’ i Karmela; Aoka handrasana any Basana sy Gileada ireny Toy ny tamin’ ny andro taloha ela.
Tend Thy people with Thy staff, the flock of Thy heritage, that dwell solitarily, as a forest in the midst of the fruitful field; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 Toy ny tamin’ ny andro nivoahanao avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta No hanehoako azy zava-mahagaga.
'As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things.'
16 Hahita izany ny jentilisa, Ka hahamenatra azy ny heriny rehetra; Hitampim-bava izy, Ho tonga marenina ny sofiny.
The nations shall see and be put to shame for all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Hilelaka ny vovoka toy ny menarana izy; Hiala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy tahaka ny biby mikisaka amin’ ny tany izy; Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia hohatoniny amin-kovitra, Eny, hatahotra Anao izy.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto the LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of Thee.
18 Iza no Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, Izay mamela heloka Sady mandalo ny fahadisoan’ ny sisa amin’ ny lovany? Tsy mitana ny fahatezerany ho mandrakizay Izy, Fa tia famindram-po.
Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth the iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.
19 Hamindra fo amintsika indray Izy Ka hanitsakitsaka ny fahotantsika, Eny, harianao ho any amin’ ny ranomasina lalina ny fahotany rehetra.
He will again have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Hanefa fahamarinana ho an’ i Jakoba Hianao Sy famindram-po ho an’ i Abrahama, Dia ilay nianiananao tamin’ ny razanay hatramin’ ny andro taloha ela.
Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, as Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
