Mika 7
1 Hankàñe amako! fa manahake i nipòk’ amo vokan’ asara fa natontoñeoy, tsy am-pirotorotom-baloboke ho haneñe; ndra valoham-boa hampilelalela ty fiaiko.
I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
2 Fa nifaoheñ’ an-tane atoy t’indaty mañori-Kake, tsy ao ty mahity am’ondatio; songa miampitse handrendreke lio, sindre mifañoroñe an-karato o mpirahalahio.
All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
3 Fità-roe ty mahatafetetse o sata rati’eo; ipaia’ i roandriañey naho takea’ i mpizakay ty vokàñe; aboa’ ty bey ty fikitrohan-tro’e, vaho rarè’ iereo hitraoke.
They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
4 Hoe hìsatse ty soa am’iereo, hoe vovom-patike ty mahity ama’e; i andro ampitsatohe’o mpijilojiloy: tondroke ty fitilihañe azo; ho doboñe iereo henane zay.
Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
5 Ko miato rañetse, ko mirampy aman-atehena; amy màndre añ’araña’o eoy, itaò o soñi’oo.
Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
6 Fa mañamavo an-drae’e ty ana-dahy, miatreatre an-drene ty anak’ ampela, ty vinanto-ampela aman-drafoza’e ampela; rafelahi’ondatio t’indaty añ’akiba’e ao.
For a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
7 Aa naho izaho, hitamà Iehovà; ho liñisako i Andrianañaharem-pandrombahakoy; hijanjiñe ahy t’i Andrianañahareko.
But as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. My God will hear me.
8 Ko mirebeke ahy, ry mpalaiñ’ ahio, ndra t’ie mikorovoke, mbe hitroatse; ndra mitobok’ añ’ieñe ao, Iehovà ro hazavàko.
Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 Ho vavèko ty haviñera’ Iehovà amy t’ie nandilatse ama’e, ampara’ te ihalalia’e ho ahy, naho ampijadoña’e zakam-pañisohañe; ie hakare’e mb’an-kazavàm-b’eo, vaho ho treako ty havantaña’e.
I will endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
10 Ho oni’ i rafelahikoy izay, vaho ho saroña’ ty hasalarañe ty nanao amako ty hoe: Aia t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o? Ho sambae’ o masokoo, ie ho lialiàñe hoe fotak’ an-dalañe eo henane zay.
Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in the streets.
11 Ho androm-pampitroarañe o kijoli’oo amy andro zay, hibolea’ i Hake mb’eo mbe’o.
On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
12 Ho androm-pitotsahañ’ ama’o, boak’ Asore naho i Mitsraime, boake Mitsraime pak’amy sakay; eka, boak’an-driake pak’an-driake, vaho boak’am-bohitse pak’am-bohitse,
On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, from mountain to mountain.
13 Le ho koake i taney ty amo mpimone’eo, ho vale’ ty hatsivokaram-pitoloña’ iareo.
But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
14 Araho an-kobai’o ondati’oo, i lia-rain-dova’o rerek’ añ’ala ao, an-teñateñan-tane marorok’ aoy; andrazo mb’e Basane naho mb’e Gilade mb’eo iereo manahake tañ’andro haehae.
Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
15 Manahake tañ’andro nañakarako azo an-tane Mitsraime ao, le hampiboahako raha fanjaka.
Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
16 Ho oni’ o kilakila’ ondatio le ho salatse ndra te maozatse; hamihim-palie am-pitàñe vaho ho valagìñe an-dravembia.
The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become deaf.
17 Ie hitsela deboke hoe mereñe, hititititike t’ie miakatse an-kijoly ao hoe merembitike hirik’ an-tane ao; hangebahebake t’ie miheo mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, vaho hañeveñe ama’o iereo.
They will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
18 Ia t’i Andrianañahare hañirinkiriñe Azo, Mpañafa-kakeo, naho mampipoke ty fiolà’ o honkahonkan-dova’eo! Tsy tana’e nainai’e ty haviñera’e, vaho ifalea’e ty fiferenaiñañe.
Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
19 Hiferenaiña’e indraike tika, ho lialiàm-pandia’e o hakeon-tikañeo; Eka! hahifi’o an-driake lalek’ ao o tahi’ iareoo.
You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Ho tolora’o havantañañe t’Iakobe, naho fiferenaiñañe t’i Avrahame, i nifantà’o aman-droae’ay haehae izay.
You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
