Mika 2
1 Vane nhamo avo vanoronga zvakaipa, avo vanoronga zvakaipa pamibhedha yavo! Pakuedza kwamangwanani vanozviita nokuti zviri musimba ravo kuzviita.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Vanochiva minda vagoipamba, nedzimba, uye vagodzitora. Vanobira munhu imba yake, nomuvakidzani nhaka yake.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Naizvozvo Jehovha anoti, “Ndiri kuronga njodzi yokurwisa nayo vanhu ava, zvamusingagoni kuzvidzivirira kwazviri. Hamuchazofambizve muchizvikudza, nokuti ichava nguva yedambudziko.
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Pazuva iro vanhu vachakutukai; vachakudenhai norwiyo urwu rwokuchema: ‘Taitwa dongo chose; pfuma yavanhu vangu yagovaniswa. Anonditorera! Anopa minda yedu kuna vanotimukira?’”
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Naizvozvo muchashayiwa munhu kana mumwe, muungano yaJehovha, kuti agove nyika nemijenya.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 Vaprofita vavo vanoti, “Musaprofita, musaprofita pamusoro pezvinhu izvi; kunyadziswa hakungatibati.”
“Do not prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace will not overtake us.”
7 Zvingataurwe here, nhai imi imba yaJakobho, kuti: “Ko, mweya waJehovha watsamwa here? Iye anoita zvinhu zvakadaro here?” “Ko, mashoko angu haaiti zvakanaka here kuno uyo ane nzira dzake dzakarurama?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 Asi mazuva ano vanhu vangu vakandimukira somuvengi. Munobvisa majasi anokosha pane avo vanopfuura musina kana hanya, savarume vodzoka kubva kuhondo.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 Munodzinga madzimai avanhu vangu kubva mudzimba dzavo dzakanaka. Munotora ropafadzo yangu kubva kuvana vavo nokusingaperi.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Simukai, ibvai pano! Nokuti ino haisi nzvimbo yenyu yokuzororera, nokuti yakasvibiswa, yakaparadzwa zvisingagadziriki.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Kana munyepi nomunyengeri akauya oti, ‘Ndichakuprofitirai waini zhinji nedoro,’ iyeyu achava muprofita wavanhu ava!
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 “Zvirokwazvo ndichakuunganidzai imi mose, iwe Jakobho; zvirokwazvo ndichaunganidza pamwe chete vakasara vaIsraeri. Ndichavaunganidza pamwe chete samakwai muchirugu, seboka pamafuro aro; nzvimbo yacho ichazara navanhu.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Uyo achaparura nzira achaenda pamberi pavo; vachapwanya napasuo vagobuda panze. Mambo wavo achapfuura ari pamberi pavo, Iye Jehovha achivatungamirira.”
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
