Mika 7
1 Ole wangu! Kwangu mimi ni kama msimu wa mavuno ulipokwisha, na pia makombo ya mavuno ya zabibu kwenye shamba la mizabibu: Hakuna tena kishamba cha matunda kinachoonekana, hakuna matini ya malimbuka ambayo ninayoyatamani.
woe! to/for me for to be like/as gathering summer like/as gleaning vintage nothing cluster to/for to eat early fig to desire soul: appetite my
2 Watu waaminifu wamepotelea kutoka kwenye nchi, hakuna mtu mwadilifu katika wanadamu wote. Wote hudanganya katika kusubiri kumwaga damu; kila mtu humuwinda ndugu yake mwenyewe kwa wavu.
to perish pious from [the] land: country/planet and upright in/on/with man nothing all their to/for blood to ambush man: anyone [obj] brother: compatriot his to hunt net
3 Mikono yao ni mizuri mno kwa kufanya madhara. watawala huuliza pesa, hakimu yuko tayari kwa rushwa, na mtu mwenye nguvu anawaambia wengine kile anachokitaka kujipatia. Hivyo ndivyo waundavyo kwa pamoja.
upon [the] bad: evil palm to/for be good [the] ruler to ask and [the] to judge (in/on/with recompense *L(abh)*) and [the] great: large to speak: speak desire soul: appetite his he/she/it and to weave her
4 Mtu bora kwao ni kama mitemba, mwadilifu sana ni kama mche wa miba. Imefika siku iliyosemwa nyuma na walinzi wako, siku ya hukumu. Sasa ni mda wa machafuko.
pleasant their like/as briar upright from hedge day to watch you punishment your to come (in): come now to be confusion their
5 Msimwamini kila jirani; msimuweke kiongozi katika rafiki yeyote. Kuweni makini kuhusiana na kile msemacho hata kwa mwanamke ambaye adanganyaye kwenye mikono yenu.
not be faithful in/on/with neighbor not to trust in/on/with tame from to lie down: lay down bosom: embrace your to keep: guard entrance lip your
6 Kwa kuwa mwana humfedhehesha baba yake, binti huinuka kushindana na mama yake, na mke wa mwana wa kiume hushindana na mama mkwe wake. Adui wa watu ni watu wa nyumba yake mwenyewe.
for son: child be senseless father daughter to arise: attack in/on/with mother her daughter-in-law in/on/with mother-in-law her enemy man human house: household his
7 Lakini kama kwangu mimi, nitamtazama Yahwe. Nitamsubiri Mungu wa wokovu wangu; Mungu wangu ataniskia.
and I in/on/with LORD to watch to wait: wait to/for God salvation my to hear: hear me God my
8 Usifurahi juu yangu, adui yangu. Niangukapo, nitainuka. Wakati nitakapokuwa nimekaa katika giza, Yahwe atakuwa mwanga kwangu.
not to rejoice enemy my to/for me for to fall: fall to arise: rise for to dwell in/on/with darkness LORD light to/for me
9 Kwasababu nimetenda dhambi dhidi ya Yahwe, nitachukua ghadhabu yake hata aniteteapo kosa langu, na kutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili yangu. Atanileta kwenye nuru, na nitamwona akiniokoa kwenye haki yake.
rage LORD to lift: bear for to sin to/for him till which to contend strife my and to make: do justice: judgement my to come out: send me to/for light to see: see in/on/with righteousness his
10 Kisha adui yangu atakapoliona hilo, na aibu itamfunika yule aliyeniambia, “Yahwe Mungu wako yuko wapi?” macho yangu yatamtazama; atakanyagwa chini kama tope kwenye mitaa.
and to see: see enemy my and to cover her shame [the] to say to(wards) me where? he LORD God your eye my to see: see in/on/with her now to be to/for trampling like/as mud outside
11 Siku ya ya kujenga kuta zako zitafika; siku hiyo mipaka itasogezwa mbali sana.
day to/for to build wall your day [the] he/she/it to remove statute: allotment
12 Siku hiyo watu watakuja kwako, kutoka Ashuru na miji katika Misri, kutoka Misri hata mto mkubwa, kutoka bahari kwenda bahari, na kutoka mlima kwenda mlima.
day he/she/it and till you to come (in): come to/for from Assyria and city Egypt and to/for from Egypt and till River and sea from sea and mountain: mount [the] mountain: mount
13 Hizo nchi zitakuwa zimejitenga kwasababu ya watu ambao wanaishi huko sasa, kwasababu ya tunda la matendo yao.
and to be [the] land: country/planet to/for devastation upon to dwell her from fruit deed their
14 Chunga watu wako kwa fimbo yako, kundi la urithi wako. Wanaishi wenyewe kwenye msitu, katikati ya msitu. Wachunge katika Bashani na Gileadi kama siku za zamani.
to pasture people your in/on/with tribe: staff your flock inheritance your to dwell to/for isolation wood in/on/with midst plantation to pasture Bashan and Gilead like/as day forever: antiquity
15 Kama katika siku wakati mlipotoka nje ya nchi ya Misri, nitawaonyesha maajabu.
like/as day to come out: come you from land: country/planet Egypt to see: see him to wonder
16 Mataifa yataona na kuwa na aibu ya nguvu zao zote. Wataweka mikono yao kwenye midomo yao; masikio yao yatakuwa kiziwi.
to see: see nation and be ashamed from all might their to set: put hand upon lip ear their be quiet
17 Watalamba vumbi kama nyoka, kama viumbe vitaambavyo juu ya nchi. Watatoka nje kwenye maficho kwa hofu; watakuja kwako kwa hofu, Yahwe Mungu wetu, na wataogopa kwa sababu yako.
to lick dust like/as serpent like/as to crawl land: soil to tremble from perimeter their to(wards) LORD God our to dread and to fear: revere from you
18 Ni nani aliye Mungu kama wewe, wewe uchukuaye dhambi, wewe upitaye juu ya kosa la mabaki ya mrithi wako? Hutunzi hasira yako milele, kwa sababu unapenda kutuonyesha agano lako la aminifu.
who? God like you to lift: forgive iniquity: crime and to pass upon transgression to/for remnant inheritance his not to strengthen: strengthen to/for perpetuity face: anger his for delighting kindness he/she/it
19 Tena utakuwa na huruma juu yetu; utayakanyaga maovu chini ya miguu yako. Utazitupa dhambi zetu zote kwenye vilindi vya bahari.
to return: again to have compassion us to subdue iniquity: crime our and to throw in/on/with depth sea all sin their
20 Utampatia ukweli Yakobo na agano aminifu kwa Abrahamu, ulipoapa kwa babu zetu katika siku za kale.
to give: do truth: faithful to/for Jacob kindness to/for Abraham which to swear to/for father our from day front: old
