Mika 1
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Morastita tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezetia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia ilay hitany ny amin’ i Samaria sy Jerosalema.
The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morashthite in the days of Jotham, Achaz, [and] Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, which he foresaw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Samia mihaino ianareo, ry firenena rehetra; Atongilano ny sofinareo, ry tany sy izay zavatra rehetra eo aminy; Ary aoka Jehovah Tompo no ho vavolombelona hanameloka anareo, Dia Jehovah avy ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna.
Hear, ye people, altogether; listen, O earth, with all that filleth it: and let the Lord Eternal be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy ao amin’ ny fitoerany Ary midìna ka mandia ny havoana amin’ ny tany.
For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his residence; and he will come down, and will step along upon the high places of the earth.
4 Miempo ao ambaniny ny tendrombohitra, Ary mivava ny lohasaha, Tahaka ny savoka taninin’ ny afo, Sy tahaka ny rano akorotsaka eny amin’ ny hantsana.
And the mountains shall melt beneath him, and the valleys shall cleave in twain, like wax [melteth] before the fire, like water poured out on a declivity.
5 Noho ny fahadisoan’ i Jakoba sy ny fahotan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely no isian’ izany rehetra izany. Iza no nahadiso an’ i Jakoba? Tsy Samaria va? Ary iza no fitoerana avon’ i Joda? Tsy Jerosalema va?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Who caused the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and who caused the high-places of Judah? is it not Jerusalem?
6 Koa Samaria dia hataoko korontam-bato any an-tsaha Sy tany fambolem-boaloboka; Ary hakorotsako ho any an-dohasaha ny vatony, Ka haharihariko ny fanorenany.
Therefore will I change Samaria into stone-heaps on the field, into vineyard plantations: and I will hurl down into the valley her stones, and her foundations will I lay open.
7 Hotorotoroina ny sampiny voasokitra rehetra, Ary hodorana amin’ ny afo ny tanginy rehetra, Sady hofoanako ny sampiny rehetra; Tangin’ ny vehivavy janga no nanangonany ireny, Ary hody ho tangin’ ny vehivavy janga indray izy.
And all her graven images shall he beaten to pieces, and all her wages of sin shall be burnt with the fire, and all her idols will I make desolate; for from harlot's wages she gathered them, and for harlot's wages shall they be used again.
8 Koa izany no hitomaniako sy hidradradradrako, Ka handeha sady horobaina no mitanjaka aho; Hikaonkaona toy ny amboadia aho Ary hikiakiaka toy ny ostritsa.
For this will I lament and wail; I will go confused and naked: I will make a lament like the crocodiles, and mourning like the ostriches.
9 Fa tsy azo sitranina ny ferin’ i Samaria; Fa mihatra amin’ i Joda izany, Ary mahatratra ny vavahadin’ ny oloko aza, dia any Jerosalema.
For her wounds arc incurable; for [the evil] is come even unto Judah; [the enemy] hath reached as far as the gate of my people, even up to Jerusalem.
10 Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza mitomany akory! Mihosinkosina vovoka ao Beti-le-afra aho.
Tell it not at Gath, weep ye not loudly [there]: in Bethle'aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Mandehana mitanjaka mitondra henatra, ry mponina ao Safira; Tsy mivoaka ny mponina ao Zanana; Ny fisaonan’ i Beti-haezela no misakana anareo tsy hijanona ao.
Pass ye away, ye inhabitants of Shaphir, having your shame laid bare: the inhabitress of Zaanan cometh not forth [any more]; the mourning of Beth-haezel taketh from you its halting place.
12 Fa malahelo ny soa ny mponina ao Marota, Satria loza no efa nidina avy tamin’ i Jehovah ho ao am-bavahadin’ i Jerosalema.
For the inhabitress of Maroth is grieved for the [lost] good; because evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Fehezo amin’ ny soavaly haingam-pandeha ny kalesy, ry mponina ao Lakisy; Niandohan’ ny fahotan’ i Ziona zanakavavy iny, Fa tao aminao no nahitana ny fahadisoan’ Isiraely.
Bind the chariot to the swift horses, O inhabitress of Lachish: the beginning of sin was she to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Koa izany no hanomezanao taratasy fisaorana ho an’ i Moresetagata; Ranotrambo ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ireo tranon’ i Akziba.
Therefore shalt thou have to give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall become a deception to the kings of Israel.
15 Mbola hitondrako olon-kandova ianao. Ry mponina ao Maresa; Ho tonga hatrany Adolama aza ny voninahitr’ Isiraely.
Yet will I bring an [enemy as] heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: as far as 'Adullam shall withdraw the glory of Israel.
16 Miheteza sy mikakasa Noho ny zanakao nahafinaritra; Halehibiazo ny solanao ho toy ny an’ ny voltora, Fa lasan-ko babo niala taminao izy.
Make thyself bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight; enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; because they are gone into exile from thee.
