< Mika 2 >

1 Hankàñe amo mpikilily hatsivokarañeo, o mikitro-draha an-tihi’eo! Ie berabera andro le mañeneke kanao am-pità’ iareo ty haozarañe.
Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plan on their beds to do evil. In the morning light they do it because they have power.
2 Mihañe teteke, le mitavañe, naho anjomba, le minday; aa le forekekè’ iereo ty fokontokoñe rekets’ i akiba’ey, vaho t’indaty naho i lova’ey.
They desire fields and seize them; they desire houses and take them. They oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Inao, safirieko hekoheko ty fifokoañe toy, le tsy haha-votso-­bozoñ’ ama’e nahareo, vaho ko mañavelo an-drengevoke; fa ho san-kankàñe.
Therefore Yahweh says this, “Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks. You will not walk arrogantly, for it will be an evil time.
4 Amy andro zay le handrazan-drehake ty ama’o iereo, naho handala am-pirovetañe ty hoe: Vata’e rotsake zahay; novae’e ty anjara’ ondatikoo, akore ty nanintaha’e amako! Tsy ho navaha’e o tete’aio? te mone zarae’e.
In that day men will sing a song about you, and lament with a wailing lamentation. They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined; Yahweh changes the territory of my people. How can he remove it from me? He portions out our fields to traitors!'”
5 Aa le tsy eo ty hikozozotse talim-panjeheañe an-kitsapak’ ami’ty valobohò’ Iehovà ho azo.
Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 Ko mitaroñe, hoe ty taroñe’ iareo; Tsy hitaroña’iareo o raha zao, tsy mone ho salareñe.
“Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
7 Hoe ty volañeñe ry anjomba’ Iakobe, Tsy mahaliñe hao t’i Arofo’ Iehovà? Sata’e hao rezao? Tsy mahasoa ty mpañavelo an-kavantañañe hao o volakoo?
Should it really be said, house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these really his deeds?” Do not my words do good to anyone who walks uprightly?
8 Fe nitroatse ho rafelahy omale ondatikoo; endahe’ areo ty sarimbo reketse ty akanjo’ ondaty mitoañe am-panintsiñañeo, o mimpoly boak’añ’alio.
Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly, as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
9 Ampisitahe’ areo o rakemba’ ondatikoo; songa boak’ añ’anjomba’e soa fihamiñe; asinta’ areo amo keleia’ iareoo kitro-katroke ty engeko.
You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
10 Miongaha! Akia! fa tsy fitofà’ areo ty atoy; i haloera’ey ty maharotsake am-pandrotsahañe mitivontivoñe.
Get up and leave, for this is not a place where you can stay, because of its uncleanness; it is destroyed with complete destruction.
11 Naho teo ty mpañorike tioke naho vande, nandañitse ami’ty hoe: Hitaroñe divay naho toake ama’ areo iraho, ie ty hatao mpilañoñe am’ondaty retoañe.
If someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says, “I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,” he would be considered to be a prophet for this people.
12 Toe havoriko irehe, ry Iakobe, ihe iaby; toe hatontoko ty sengaha’ Israele; hatraoko hoe añondry am-piandrazañe ao; manahake ty lia-raik’ an-golobo’e ao; higoreongoreoñe ty am’ondatio.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
13 Miakatse aolo’ iareo mb’eo t’i Mpampiboroboñake; miboroboñake mb’eo iereo, mivavatse mb’an-dalambey naho miakatse añe; vaho miary aolo mb’eo ty Mpanjaka’ iareo, Iehovà ty mpiaolo’ iareo.
Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them. They break through the gate and go out; their king will pass on before them. Yahweh will be at their head.
