Miikaah 1
1 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo u yimid Miikaah kii reer Mooreshed waagii ay Yootam iyo Aaxaas iyo Xisqiyaah boqorrada ka ahaayeen dalka Yahuudah, oo uu ku arkay wax ku saabsan Samaariya iyo Yeruusaalem.
[I am] Micah. I am from [the town of] Moresheth [in Judah]. Yahweh gave me these [messages in] visions about Samaria and Jerusalem during the time when Jotham, [and then] Ahaz, and [then] Hezekiah, were the kings of Judah.
2 Dadyowga oo dhammow, kulligiin maqla. Dhulka iyo waxa ku jira oo dhammow, bal dhegaysta, oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu ha idinku marag furo, Sayidku macbudkiisa quduuska ah ha idinkaga marag furo.
You people everywhere on the earth, pay attention to this [DOU]! Yahweh our God is accusing you from his holy temple [in heaven].
3 Waayo, bal eega, Rabbigu meeshiisuu ka soo bixi doonaa, wuuna soo degan doonaa, oo dhulka meelihiisa sarsare mari doonaa.
He will come down [from heaven] and walk on the tops of the highest mountains.
4 Oo buuruhu hoostiisay ku dhalaali doonaan, dooxooyinkuna way u kala dildillaaci doonaan sidii shamac dab hor yaal, iyo sidii biyo ka daadanaya meel sare.
[It will be as though] the mountains will melt under his [feet] like [SIM] wax [melts] in front of a fire, and like [SIM] water [disappears] when it rushes/flows down into a valley.
5 Waxan oo dhammu waxay u dheceen xadgudubka reer Yacquub iyo dembiyada dadka Israa'iil. Xadgudubka reer Yacquub waa maxay? Sow Samaariya ma aha? Meelaha sare oo dalka Yahuudahna waa maxay? Sow Yeruusaalem ma aha?
Those things will happen because of the terrible sins [DOU] that the people [MTY] of Israel, [the descendants of] Jacob, have committed. But it was [RHQ] [the people of] Samaria [city who persuaded all the people of] Israel to sin, and it was [RHQ] because the people of Jerusalem [set up altars to worship their gods] that [the other people of] Judah [were persuaded to worship idols on] their hilltops.
6 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan Samaariya ka dhigi doonaa sidii taallo burbur ah oo duurka ku taal, iyo sidii meel beercanab laga beerto, oo dhagxanteedana waxaan ku dhex daadin doonaa dooxada, oo aasaaskeedana waan soo bannayn doonaa.
So Yahweh will cause Samaria to become a heap [of rubble/ruins]; [it will be only] a field for planting vineyards. He will cause the stones of its [buildings] to roll down into the valley, and the foundations [of the buildings] will be uncovered.
7 Taswiiraheeda xardhan oo dhan waa la wada burburin doonaa, oo kirooyinkeeda oo dhanna dab baa lagu gubi doonaa, oo sanamyadeeda oo dhanna waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, waayo, iyadu waxay ku soo urursatay dhillo kiradeed, oo kulligoodna waxay dib ugu noqon doonaan dhillo kiradeed.
All the idols in Samaria will be smashed, and the gifts [given to prostitutes at the temples of their idols] will be destroyed in a fire. And because people paid prostitutes there, [their enemies will take away those idols and sell them] to get money to pay to prostitutes [in other countries].
8 Haddaba taas daraaddeed ayaan u ooyi doonaa oo u barooran doonaa, oo anoo cago cad oo qaawan ayaan wareegi doonaa, oo waxaan u dhawaaqi doonaa sida dawacooyinku u ciyaan oo kale, oo waxaan u qaylin doonaa sida goroyadu u cido oo kale.
Because [Samaria will be destroyed], I will weep and wail. I will walk around (barefoot/without any sandals on my feet) and naked. I will howl like a jackal/wolf and screech like an owl,
9 Waayo, nabraheedu ma bogsan karaan, oo xataa waxay soo gaadheen dalka Yahuudah, oo waxay soo gaadheen xataa iridda dadkayga taasoo ah Yeruusaalem.
because Samaria will be completely destroyed [MET]; nothing can save that city. But the same thing will happen to Judah! [It is as though the enemy army] has [already] reached the city gates of Jerusalem, [the main city where] my people [live].
10 Gad ha ku dhex sheegina, hana ooyina, oo Beytlecafraah dhexdeeda boodhka ku galgasha.
Do not tell that to [our enemies] in Gath [city in Philistia]! Do not cry, [lest the people there find out what is happening]! [Instead, just] roll in the dirt in Beth-Leaphrah [because the name of that town means ‘house of dust].’
11 Kaaga Shaafiir degganow, bax adoo qaawan oo ceebaysan. Kan Sa'anaan degganu soo ma bixin. Baroorta Beytesel waxay idinka qaadan doontaa meesha aad ku tiirsato.
You people who live in Shaphir [town, whose name means ‘beautiful],’ naked and ashamed, you will be taken [to another country]. [You people in] Beth-Ezel [town] should mourn, [because] no one from Zaanan [town, whose name means ‘one who goes out],’ will go out to help you.
12 Waayo, kan Maarood degganu aad buu u sugayaa wanaag, maxaa yeelay, belaayo baa xagga Rabbiga ka soo degtay, oo waxay soo gaadhay iridda Yeruusaalem.
[The name of] Maroth [town sounds like ‘bitterness];’ everyone there is anxiously waiting for good things to happen to them, but good things will not happen to them; instead, terrible things are about to happen to them, and it will soon happen at the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Kan Laakiish degganow, gaadhiga ku dhuuji faraska dheereeya. Laakiish waxay dadka Siyoon u ahayd bilowgii dembiga, maxaa yeelay, xadgudubyadii dadka Israa'iil ayaa laga dhex helay.
You people of Lachish [city, whose name sounds like ‘team],’ hitch your horses to pull the chariots [in which you can ride to flee from your enemies]. The Israeli people rebelled against Yahweh, and you (imitated them/did the same evil things that they did), and that caused the people of Jerusalem [IDM] to start sinning, too.
14 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaad Mooreshed Gad siin doontaa hadiyado. Reeraha Aksiib waxay boqorrada dalka Israa'iil u noqon doonaan wax khiyaano badan.
[You people of Judah], send a farewell gift to [the people] of Moresheth [town], [because their enemies will soon destroy it]. [The name of the town Aczib means ‘deception],’ and the kings of Israel [will soon find out that the people of that town] will deceive them.
15 Kan Maareeshaah degganow, weli waxaan kuu keeni doonaa kan ku hantiyi doona. Dalka Israa'iil sharaftiisu waxay gaadhi doontaa xataa tan iyo Cadullaam.
[The name of your town of] Mareshah [means ‘conqueror],’ and Yahweh will [soon] send someone to conquer your town. [It will be necessary for] the great/glorious leaders of Israel to go [and hide in the cave at] Adullam [city].
16 Xiiro oo timahaaga iska jar carruurtaadii aad jeclayd daraaddood, oo intaad xiirata sii ballaadhi sida bidaarta gorgorka oo kale, waayo, iyagu way kaa tageen, oo waxaa loo kaxaystay maxaabiis ahaan.
[You people of Judah], shave your heads [while you will be mourning], because your children whom you love will [soon] be (exiled/forced to leave you and go to another country).
