Micah 1
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Mika ará Moreṣeti wá ní àkókò ìjọba Jotamu, Ahasi, àti Hesekiah, àwọn ọba Juda nìwọ̀nyí, ìran tí ó rí nípa Samaria àti Jerusalẹmu.
The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning Samaria, and Jerusalem: —
2 Ẹ gbọ́, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn, fetísílẹ̀, ìwọ ayé àti gbogbo ohun tó wà níbẹ̀, kí Olúwa Olódùmarè lè ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí sí yín, Olúwa láti inú tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá.
Hear ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of his holy temple.
3 Wò ó! Olúwa ń bọ̀ wá láti ibùgbé rẹ̀; yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀, yóò sì tẹ ibi gíga ayé mọ́lẹ̀.
For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along upon the high places of the earth.
4 Àwọn òkè ńlá yóò sí yọ́ lábẹ́ rẹ̀, àwọn àfonífojì yóò sì pínyà, bí idà níwájú iná, bí omi tí ó ń sàn lọ ni ibi gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́.
Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.
5 Nítorí ìré-òfin-kọjá Jakọbu ni gbogbo èyí, àti nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Israẹli. Kí ni ìré-òfin-kọjá Jakọbu? Ǹjẹ́ Samaria ha kọ? Kí ni àwọn ibi gíga Juda? Ǹjẹ́ Jerusalẹmu ha kọ?
For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
6 “Nítorí náà, èmi yóò ṣe Samaria bí òkìtì lórí pápá, bí ibi ti à ń lò fún gbígbin ọgbà àjàrà. Èmi yóò gbá àwọn òkúta rẹ̀ dànù sínú àfonífojì. Èmi yóò sí tú ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ palẹ̀.
Therefore will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
7 Gbogbo àwọn ère fínfín rẹ̀ ni a ó fọ́ sí wẹ́wẹ́ gbogbo àwọn ẹ̀bùn tẹmpili rẹ̀ ni a ó fi iná sun, Èmi yóò sì pa gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà rẹ̀ run. Nítorí tí ó ti kó àwọn ẹ̀bùn rẹ̀ jọ láti inú owó èrè panṣágà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó èrè panṣágà, wọn yóò sì tún padà sí owó iṣẹ́ panṣágà.”
And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
8 Nítorí èyí, èmi yóò sì sọkún, èmi yóò sì pohùnréré ẹkún: èmi yóò máa lọ ní ẹsẹ̀ lásán àti ní ìhòhò. Èmi yóò ké bí akátá, èmi yóò sì máa dárò bí àwọn ọmọ ògòǹgò.
For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
9 Nítorí tí ọgbẹ́ rẹ̀ jẹ́ aláìlèwòtán; ó sì ti wá sí Juda. Ó sì ti dé ẹnu-bodè àwọn ènìyàn mi, àní sí Jerusalẹmu.
For dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
10 Ẹ má ṣe sọ ní Gati ẹ má ṣe sọkún rárá. Ní ilẹ̀ Beti-Ofra mo yí ara mi nínú eruku.
In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
11 Ẹ kọjá lọ ni ìhòhò àti ni ìtìjú, ìwọ tí ó ń gbé ni Ṣafiri. Àwọn tí ó ń gbé ni Saanani kì yóò sì jáde wá. Beti-Eseli wà nínú ọ̀fọ̀; a ó sì gba ààbò rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ yin.
Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
12 Nítorí àwọn tí ó ń gbé ni Marati ń retí ìre, ṣùgbọ́n ibi sọ̀kalẹ̀ ti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá sí ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu.
Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Ìwọ olùgbé Lakiṣi, dì kẹ̀kẹ́ mọ́ ẹranko tí ó yára. Òun sì ni ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí àwọn ọmọbìnrin Sioni, nítorí a rí àìṣedéédéé Israẹli nínú rẹ̀.
Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions of Israel.
14 Nítorí náà ni ìwọ ó ṣe fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ fún Moreṣeti Gati. Àwọn ilé Aksibu yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́tàn sí àwọn ọba Israẹli.
Therefore, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception to the kings of Israel.
15 Èmi yóò sì mú àrólé kan wá sórí rẹ ìwọ olùgbé Meraṣa. Ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ògo Israẹli yóò sì wá sí Adullamu.
The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
16 Fá irun orí rẹ nínú ọ̀fọ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ aláìlágbára, sọ ra rẹ̀ di apárí bí ẹyẹ igún, nítorí wọn yóò kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ lọ sí ìgbèkùn.
Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
