Micah 2
1 Ègbé ni fún àwọn tí ń gbèrò àìṣedéédéé tí wọ́n sì ń ṣiṣẹ́ ibi lórí ibùsùn wọn! Nígbà tí ojúmọ́ bá mọ́, wọn yóò gbé e jáde nítorí ó wà ní agbára wọn láti ṣe é.
Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
2 Wọ́n sì ń ṣe ojúkòkòrò oko, wọ́n sì fi agbára wọn gbà wọ́n, àti àwọn ilé, wọ́n sì gbà wọ́n. Wọ́n sì ni ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ lára àní ènìyàn àti ohun ìní rẹ̀.
And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
3 Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí pé: “Èmi ń gbèrò ibi sí àwọn ìdílé wọ̀nyí, nínú èyí tí wọn kì yóò le è gba ara wọn là. Ìwọ kì yóò sì lè máa rìn ní ìgbéraga mọ́, nítorí yóò jẹ́ àkókò ibi.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
4 Ní ọjọ́ náà ni ẹnìkan yóò pa òwe kan sí yín; wọn yóò sì pohùnréré ẹkún kíkorò pé: ‘Ní kíkó a ti kó wọn tán; Olúwa ti pín ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn mi; Ó ti mú un kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi! Ó fi oko wa lé àwọn ọlọ̀tẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.’”
In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
5 Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò ní ní ẹnìkankan tí yóò ta okùn nínú ìjọ Olúwa, tí yóò pín ilẹ̀ nípa ìbò.
Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
6 “Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀,” ni àwọn wòlíì wọn wí. “Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa nǹkan wọ̀nyí; kí ìtìjú má ṣe le bá wa.”
You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
7 Ṣé kí á sọ ọ́, ìwọ ilé Jakọbu: “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀mí Olúwa ha ń bínú bí? Ǹjẹ́ iṣẹ́ rẹ ha nìwọ̀nyí?” “Ǹjẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi kò ha ń ṣe rere fún ẹni tí ń rìn déédé bí?
[Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
8 Láìpẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mi dìde bí ọ̀tá sí mi. Ìwọ bọ́ aṣọ ọlọ́rọ̀ kúrò lára àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ ní àìléwu, bí àwọn ẹni tí ó padà bọ̀ láti ojú ogun.
And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
9 Ẹ̀yin sì lé obìnrin àwọn ènìyàn mi kúrò nínú ilé ayọ̀ wọn, ẹ̀yin sì ti gba ògo mi, kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn láéláé.
The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
10 Ẹ dìde, kí ẹ sì máa lọ! Nítorí èyí kì í ṣe ibi ìsinmi yín, nítorí tí a ti sọ ọ́ di àìmọ́ yóò pa yín run, àní ìparun kíkorò.
Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
11 Tí òpùrọ́ àti ẹlẹ́tàn bá wà tí wọ́n sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò sọtẹ́lẹ̀ fún ọ nípa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wáìnì àti ọtí líle,’ òun ni yóò tilẹ̀ ṣe wòlíì àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí!
If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this people!
12 “Èmi yóò kó gbogbo yín jọ, ìwọ Jakọbu; Èmi yóò gbá ìyókù Israẹli jọ. Èmi yóò kó wọn jọ pọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn nínú agbo ẹran, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀wọ́ ẹran nínú agbo wọn, ibẹ̀ yóò sì pariwo nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
I surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
13 Ẹni tí ó ń fọ ọ̀nà yóò lọ sókè níwájú wọn; wọn yóò fọ láti ẹnu ibodè, wọn yóò sì jáde lọ. Àwọn ọba wọn yóò sì kọjá lọ níwájú wọn, Olúwa ni yóò sì ṣe olórí wọn.”
The breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH at their head!”
