Mika 1
1 Hili ni neno la Yahwe ambalo lilikuja kwa Mika Mmorashti katika siku za Yotahamu, Ahazi, na Hezekeia, mfalme wa Yuda, lile neno aliloliona kuhusiana na Samaria na Yerusalemu.
[the] word of Yahweh - which it came to Micah the Morasthite in [the] days of Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah which he saw on Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Sikilizeni, ninyi watu wote. Sikilizeni, dunia, na vyote vilivyomo kwenye dunia. Acheni Yahwe ashuhudiwe dhidi yenu, Bwana kutoka kwenye hekalu lake takatifu.
Hear O peoples all of them pay attention O earth and what fills it so may he become [the] Lord Yahweh in you a witness [the] Lord from [the] temple of holiness his.
3 Tazama, Yahwe anakuja kutoka mahali pake; atashuka chini na kupakanyaga mahali pa juu katika dunia.
For here! Yahweh [is] about to go forth from place his and he will come down and he will tread on ([the] high places of *Q(k)*) [the] earth.
4 Milima itayeyuka chini yake; mabonde yatapasuka vipande vipande kama mshumaa mbele ya moto, kama maji ambayo yamemwagika chini ya mteremko mkali.
And they will melt the mountains under him and the valleys they will be cleft like wax from before the fire like water poured out on a slope.
5 Haya yote ni kwasababu ya uasi wa Yakobo, na kwasababu ya dhambi za nyumba ya Israeli. Je sababu ilikuwa nini kwa uasi wa Yakobo? Je ilikuwa Samaria? Je sababu ilikuwa nini kwa mahali pa juu pa Yuda? Je haiukuwa Yerusalemu?
[is] for [the] transgression of Jacob all this and for [the] sins of [the] house of Israel who? [is] [the] transgression of Jacob ¿ not [is it] Samaria and who? [are] [the] high places of Judah ¿ not [is it] Jerusalem.
6 “Nitaifanya Samaria rundo la uharibifu katika shamba, kama eneo la kupandia mizabibu. Nitayavuta mawe ya jengo lake kwenda kwenye bonde; Nitaifunua misingi yake.
And I will make Samaria into [the] heap of ruins of the field into a planting place of a vineyard and I will pour down to the valley stones its and foundations its I will uncover.
7 Sanamu zake zote za kuchonga zitapondwa vipande vipande; na zawadi zake zote zitachomwa moto. Kwa kuwa zawadi zake za ukahaba amezikusanya, na kama malipo ya ukahaba yatarudi.”
And all images its they will be crushed and all hire its they will be burned with fire and all idols its I will make a waste for from [the] hire of a prostitute it gathered [them] and to [the] hire of a prostitute they will return.
8 Kwa sababu hii nitalia na kuomboleza; nitaenda peku peku na uchi; Nitaomboleza kama mbeha na kuomboleza kama bundi.
On this I will lament and I will wail I will go (barefoot *Q(K)*) and naked I will make a lament like jackals and a mourning like [the] daughters of an ostrich.
9 Kwa kuwa jeraha lake haliponi, kwa kuwa imefika kwa Yuda. Imefikia lango la watu wangu, hadi Yerusalemu.
For [is] incurable wounds its for it has come to Judah it has reached to [the] gate of people my to Jerusalem.
10 Msiache kuwambia kuhusu katika Gathi; msilie tena. Katika Bethi Leafra nabiringisha mwenyewe kwenye mavumbi.
In Gath may not you tell at all may not you weep in Beth Leaphrah dust (roll yourself. *Q(K)*)
11 Piteni karibu na, makao ya Shafiri, katika uchi na aibu. Makazi ya Zaanani hayatatoka nje. Maombolezo ya Beth Ezeli, kwa ajili ya ulinzi yamechukuliwa.
Pass on yourselves O inhabitant[s] of Shaphir nakedness shame not she came forth [the] inhabitant[s] of Zaanan [the] lament of Beth Ezel it will take from you standing ground its.
12 Kwa kuwa wakaaji wa Marothi hungoja habari njema, kwa sababu hofu, kwa sababu msiba umetoka kwa Yahwe hadi kwenye malango ya Yerusalemu.
For she is in anguish for good [the] inhabitant[s] of Maroth for it has come down calamity from with Yahweh to [the] gate of Jerusalem.
13 Wfuungeni lijamu farasi wakokote gari la farasi, makazi ya Lakishi. Wewe Lakishi, ulikuwa mwanzo wa dhambi kwa binti Sayuni, kwa kuwa makosa ya Israeli yalionekana kwako.
Harness the chariot to the steed O inhabitant[s] of Lachish [was the] beginning of sin it for [the] daughter of Zion for in you they were found [the] transgressions of Israel.
14 Hivyo utaipa zawadi ya kuagia Moreshethi Gathi; mji wa Akzibu utawavunja moyo wafalme wa Israeli.
Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath [the] houses of Aczib [will become] a deceitful thing to [the] kings of Israel.
15 Tena nitaleta ushindi kwako, makazi ya Maresha; uzuri wa Israeli utakuja Adulamu.
Again the [one who] dispossesses I will bring to you O inhabitant[s] of Mareshah to (Adullam *L(abh)*) he will come [the] glory of Israel.
16 Kata kipara chako na kata nywele zako kwa ajili ya watoto ambao unaowafurahisha. Fanya kipara chako mwenyewe kama tai, kwa ajili ya watoto wako watakao kwenda utumwani kutoka kwako
Make bald and shear on [the] children of delights your make large baldness your like eagle for they will go into exile from you.
