< 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 who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
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.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
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 the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
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 they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Nítorí náà, ìwọ kò ní ní ẹnìkankan tí yóò ta okùn nínú ìjọ Olúwa, tí yóò pín ilẹ̀ nípa ìbò.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 “Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀,” ni àwọn wòlíì wọn wí. “Ẹ má ṣe sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa nǹkan wọ̀nyí; kí ìtìjú má ṣe le bá wa.”
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
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?
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
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.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
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.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
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.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
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 a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be 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 will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
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.”
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
