Miikiyaas 1
1 Bara Yootaam, Aahaazii fi Hisqiyaas mootota Yihuudaa turan keessa dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara Miikiyaas namicha Mooresheet dhufe; kunis mulʼata inni waaʼee Samaariyaatii fi waaʼee Yerusaalem argee dha.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah—what he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem:
2 Yaa namoota, isin hundinuu dhagaʼaa; lafaa fi wantoonni ishee irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa; Waaqayyo Gooftichi, Gooftaan mana qulqullummaa isaa qulqulluu sana keessaa dhugaa isinitti baʼa.
Hear, O peoples, all of you; listen, O earth, and everyone in it! May the Lord GOD bear witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
3 Kunoo! Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya isaatii dhufaa jira; inni gad dhufee iddoo ol kaʼaa lafaa irra ni ejjeta.
For behold, the LORD comes forth from His dwelling place; He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.
4 Akkuma gagaa fuula ibiddaa dura jiruu, akkuma bishaan tabba irraa gad yaaʼuu tulluuwwan isa jalatti ni baqu; sululawwanis gargar baqaqu.
The mountains will melt beneath Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the fire, like water rushing down a slope.
5 Wanni kun hundi sababii dogoggora Yaaqoobiif, sababii cubbuu mana Israaʼeliif taʼe. Dogoggorri Yaaqoob maali? Samaariyaa mitii? Iddoon sagadaa Yihuudaa maali? Yerusaalem mitii?
All this is for the transgression of Jacob and the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 “Kanaafuu ani Samaariyaa tuullaa diigamaa, lafa wayinii itti dhaabbatan nan godha. Ani dhagaawwan ishee sululatti naqee, hundee ishee qullaa nan hambisa.
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble in the open field, a planting area for a vineyard. I will pour her stones into the valley and expose her foundations.
7 Waaqonni ishee tolfamoon hundinuu ni hurreeffamu; kennaawwan mana qulqullummaa ishee hundinuu ibiddaan gubamu; ani fakkii ishee hunda nan barbadeessa. Isheen gatii sagaagaltootaa irraa kennaa ishee walitti waan qabatteef, kennaan sun ammas gatii sagaagaltootaa taʼee ni deebiʼa.”
All her carved images will be smashed to pieces; all her wages will be burned in the fire, and I will destroy all her idols. Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again on a prostitute.
8 Sababii waan kanaatiif ani booʼee nan wawwaadha; ani miilla duwwaa fi qullaa nan deema. Ani akkuma waangoo iyyee, akkuma urunguu nan aada.
Because of this I will lament and wail; I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
9 Madaan ishee waan hin fayyineef, Yihuudaattis darbeera. Karra saba koo dura gaʼeera; Yerusaalemittis dhufeera.
For her wound is incurable; it has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem itself.
10 Isin waan kana Gaati keessatti hin dubbatinaa; gonkumaa hin booʼinaa. Beet Leʼafraatti, awwaara keessa gangaladhaa.
Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all. Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
11 Isin warri Shaafiir keessa jiraattan, qullaa fi qaaniidhaan darbaa. Warri Zanaan keessa jiraatan, gad hin baʼan. Beet Eezel booʼicha irra jirti; eegumsi ishee isin irraa fuudhameera.
Depart in shameful nakedness, O dwellers of Shaphir. The dwellers of Zaanan will not come out. Beth-ezel is in mourning; its support is taken from you.
12 Sababii balaan Waaqayyo biraa dhufee karra Yerusaalem iyyuu gaʼeef, warri Maaroot keessa jiraatan gargaarsa argachuuf wixxirfatu.
For the dwellers of Maroth pined for good, but calamity came down from the LORD, even to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Ati Laakkiish keessa kan jiraattu, fardeen gaariitti hidhadhu. Ati Intala Xiyooniif jalqaba cubbuu ti; dogoggorri Israaʼel siʼi keessatti argamaatii.
Harness your chariot horses, O dweller of Lachish. You were the beginning of sin to the Daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Kanaafuu ati Mooresheet Gaatiif kennaa kennita. Manneen Akziib mootota Israaʼeliif gowwoomsitoota taʼu.
Therefore, send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib will prove deceptive to the kings of Israel.
15 Ani warra Maareeshaa keessa jiraattanitti moʼataa tokko nan fida. Inni ulfina Israaʼel taʼe gara Adulaam ni dhufa.
I will again bring a conqueror against you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Sababii gadda ijoollee itti gammadduutiif jedhii mataa kee haaddadhu; akkuma goggocoroo mataa kee moleeffadhu; isaan boojuudhaan sirraa fudhatamuutii.
Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair in mourning for your precious children; make yourselves as bald as an eagle, for they will go from you into exile.
