Micah 7
1 Ègbé ni fún mi! Nítorí èmi sì dàbí ẹni tí ń kó èso ẹ̀ẹ̀rùn jọ, ìpèsè ọgbà àjàrà; kò sì ṣí odidi àjàrà kankan láti jẹ, kò sì ṣí àkọ́so ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ nítorí tí ebi ń pa mí.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the firstripe fig.
2 Àwọn olódodo sì ti kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà, kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí ó jọ olóòtítọ́; gbogbo wọn sì ń purọ́ ní dídúró nítorí ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, olúkúlùkù wọ́n sì ń fi àwọ̀n de arákùnrin rẹ̀.
The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Ọwọ́ wọn méjèèjì ti múra tán láti ṣe búburú; àwọn alákòóso ń béèrè fún ẹ̀bùn, àwọn onídàájọ́ sì ń gba owó àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ alágbára sì ń pàṣẹ ohun tí wọ́n fẹ́, gbogbo wọn sì jùmọ̀ ń dìtẹ̀.
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge [is ready] for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the mischief of his soul: thus they weave it together.
4 Ẹni tí ó sàn jùlọ nínú wọn sì dàbí ẹ̀gún, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olódodo jùlọ burú ju ẹ̀gún ọgbà lọ. Ọjọ́ àwọn olùṣọ́ rẹ̀ ti dé, àti ọjọ́ tí Ọlọ́run bẹ̀ ọ́ wò. Nísinsin yìí ní àkókò ìdààmú wọn.
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is [worse] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Ẹ má ṣe gba ọ̀rẹ́ kan gbọ́; ẹ má sì ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé amọ̀nà kankan. Pa ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu rẹ fún ẹni tí ó sùn ní oókan àyà rẹ.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
6 Nítorí tí ọmọkùnrin kò bọ̀wọ̀ fún baba rẹ̀, ọmọbìnrin sì dìde sí ìyá rẹ̀, aya ọmọ sí ìyá ọkọ rẹ̀, ọ̀tá olúkúlùkù ni àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, èmi ní ìwòye ní ìrètí sí Olúwa, èmi dúró de Ọlọ́run olùgbàlà mi; Ọlọ́run mi yóò sì tẹ́tí sí mi.
But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Má ṣe yọ̀ mí, ìwọ ọ̀tá mi. Bí mó bá ṣubú, èmi yóò dìde. Nígbà tí mo bá jókòó sínú òkùnkùn Olúwa yóò jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún mi.
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
9 Nítorí èmi ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí i, èmi yóò faradà ìbínú Olúwa, títí òun yóò ṣe gba ẹjọ́ mi rò, tí yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ mi. Òun yóò sì mú mi wá sínú ìmọ́lẹ̀; èmi yóò sì rí òdodo rẹ̀.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him; until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀tá mi yóò rí i ìtìjú yóò sì bo ẹni tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Níbo ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ wà?” Ojú mi yóò rí ìṣubú rẹ̀; nísinsin yìí ni yóò di ìtẹ̀mọ́lẹ̀ bí ẹrẹ̀ òpópó.
Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her; which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Ọjọ́ tí a ó mọ odi rẹ yóò dé, ọjọ́ náà ni àṣẹ yóò jìnnà réré.
A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 Ní ọjọ́ náà àwọn ènìyàn yóò wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ láti Asiria àti ìlú ńlá Ejibiti àní láti Ejibiti dé Eufurate láti Òkun dé Òkun àti láti òkè ńlá dé òkè ńlá.
In that day shall they come unto thee, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
13 Ilẹ̀ náà yóò di ahoro fún àwọn olùgbé inú rẹ̀, nítorí èso ìwà wọn.
Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Fi ọ̀pá rẹ bọ́ àwọn ènìyàn, agbo ẹran ìní rẹ, èyí tí ó ń dágbé nínú igbó ní àárín Karmeli. Jẹ́ kí wọn jẹun ní Baṣani àti Gileadi bí ọjọ́ ìgbàanì.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “Bí i ọjọ́ tí ó jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti wá, ni èmi yóò fi ohun ìyanu hàn án.”
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvelous things.
16 Orílẹ̀-èdè yóò rí i, ojú yóò sì tì wọ́n, nínú gbogbo agbára wọn. Wọn yóò fi ọwọ́ lé ẹnu wọn, etí wọn yóò sì di.
The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Wọn yóò lá erùpẹ̀ bí ejò, wọn yóò sì jáde kúrò nínú ihò wọn bí ekòló. Wọn yóò bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, wọn yóò sì bẹ̀rù nítorí rẹ̀.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places: they shall come with fear unto the LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
18 Ta ni Ọlọ́run bí rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jì, tí ó sì fojú fo ìrékọjá èyí tókù ìní rẹ̀? Kì í dúró nínú ìbínú rẹ̀ láéláé nítorí òun ní inú dídùn sí àánú.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 Òun yóò tún padà yọ́nú sí wa; òun yóò tẹ àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa mọ́lẹ̀, yóò sì fa gbogbo àìṣedéédéé wa sínú ibú Òkun.
He will turn again and have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot: and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Ìwọ yóò fi òtítọ́ hàn sí Jakọbu ìwọ yóò sì fi àánú hàn sí Abrahamu, bí ìwọ ṣe búra fún àwọn baba wa láti ọjọ́ ìgbàanì.
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
