Mika 1
1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo amy Mikà nte-Moresete tañ’andro’ Iotame naho i Akhaze vaho Iekezkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda; i nioni’e ty amy Somerone naho Ierosalaimey.
Yahweh’s word that came to Micah of Morasheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Kila mijanjiña ry ondatio; mañaoña ry tane, naho ze hene ama’e ao; fa hanesek’ anahareo t’Iehovà Talè, i Talè boak’añ’Anjomba’e Masiñe.
Hear, you peoples, all of you! Listen, O earth, and all that is therein. Let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Heheke te miavotse i toe’ey t’Iehovà, hizotso mb’etoa, handialia o haboa’ ty tane toio.
For behold, Yahweh comes out of his place, and will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Hitranak’ ambane’e eo o vohitseo, naho ho vaky o vavataneo, manahake ty takafotse añatrefa’ ty afo eo, naho rano nadoandoañe am-piroroñañe.
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart like wax before the fire, like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Fonga ty amo fiolà’ Iakobeo, naho o tahi’ i anjomba’ Israeleio; Ino i hakeo’ Iakobey? Tsy i Somerone hao? Aia o ankaboa’ Iehodao? Tsy e Ierosalaime hao?
“All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn’t it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren’t they Jerusalem?
6 Aa le hanoeko fivotrim-porompotse an-tetek’ ao ty Somerone, ho tanem-bahe; naho haparatsiako am-bavatane ao o vato’eo, vaho haboako o mananta’eo.
Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
7 Ho demodemoheñe iaby o samposampo’eo, le ho forototoeñe añ’afo ao o nibanabanaeñe ama’eo; ho rotsaheko iaby o saren-drahare’eo, fa natonto’e an-tamben-karapilo, le hibalike ho tamben-tsimirirañe.
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and I will destroy all her images; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.”
8 Aa le hangoihoy naho hikoiakoiake iraho, hihalo naho hibongy te handeha; hanao fitrèn-drimo vaho fandalàm-boron-tsatrañe.
For this I will lament and wail. I will go stripped and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 Tsy lefe hahàñe o fere’eo, fa nandakake mb’e Iehoda ao; fa nahatakatse ty lalambei’ ondatikoo; Eka, pak’ e Ierosalaime ao.
For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Ko taroñe’o e Gate añe, ko mirovetse; mivarimbariña an-davenok’ ao ty amy anjomba’ i Ofrày.
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t weep at all. At Beth Ophrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
11 Mihelaña mb’eo ry mpimoneñe e Safire ao; ami’ty hameñaram-piboridaña’o; tsy lefe ty fivoratsaha’ o mpimone’ i Tsa’ananeo; mangololoike ty Bete’haetsele hasinta’e ama’o ty fijohaña’o.
Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won’t come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
12 Mifeak’ am-pitamàñe hasoa o mpimone’ i Maròteo fe nivotrak’ an-dalambei’ Ierosalaime eo boak’ am’ Iehovà ty hankàñe.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Feheo amo sareteo o soavalao, ry mpimone’ i Lakìse, ihe namototse ty hakeo’ i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney, vaho nizoeñe ama’o o fiolà’ Israeleo.
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Aa le ho banabanae’o ravoravom-piavotañe ty Moresete-Gate; ho famañahiañe amo mpanjaka’ Israeleo o anjomba’ i Akzìbeo.
Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15 Mbore haseseko ama’o ty mpitavañe, ry mpimone’ i Maresà; himoak’ Adolame ao ty enge’ Israele.
I will yet bring a conqueror to you, inhabitants of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Mipeaha irehe, miharata ty amo anake mahafale azoo; indrao ty hasola’o hifanahak’ ami’ty koáke, ie hieng’azo mb’an-drohy mb’eo.
Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture, for they have gone into captivity from you!
