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.
THE word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord God be 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 cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Wanni kun hundi sababii dogoggora Yaaqoobiif, sababii cubbuu mana Israaʼeliif taʼe. Dogoggorri Yaaqoob maali? Samaariyaa mitii? Iddoon sagadaa Yihuudaa maali? Yerusaalem mitii?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they 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 as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
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.”
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Sababii waan kanaatiif ani booʼee nan wawwaadha; ani miilla duwwaa fi qullaa nan deema. Ani akkuma waangoo iyyee, akkuma urunguu nan aada.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 Madaan ishee waan hin fayyineef, Yihuudaattis darbeera. Karra saba koo dura gaʼeera; Yerusaalemittis dhufeera.
For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Isin waan kana Gaati keessatti hin dubbatinaa; gonkumaa hin booʼinaa. Beet Leʼafraatti, awwaara keessa gangaladhaa.
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
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.
Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Sababii balaan Waaqayyo biraa dhufee karra Yerusaalem iyyuu gaʼeef, warri Maaroot keessa jiraatan gargaarsa argachuuf wixxirfatu.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Ati Laakkiish keessa kan jiraattu, fardeen gaariitti hidhadhu. Ati Intala Xiyooniif jalqaba cubbuu ti; dogoggorri Israaʼel siʼi keessatti argamaatii.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Kanaafuu ati Mooresheet Gaatiif kennaa kennita. Manneen Akziib mootota Israaʼeliif gowwoomsitoota taʼu.
Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Ani warra Maareeshaa keessa jiraattanitti moʼataa tokko nan fida. Inni ulfina Israaʼel taʼe gara Adulaam ni dhufa.
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Sababii gadda ijoollee itti gammadduutiif jedhii mataa kee haaddadhu; akkuma goggocoroo mataa kee moleeffadhu; isaan boojuudhaan sirraa fudhatamuutii.
Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
