< 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 Yhwh that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw 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, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord Yhwh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 Wò ó! Olúwa ń bọ̀ wá láti ibùgbé rẹ̀; yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀, yóò sì tẹ ibi gíga ayé mọ́lẹ̀.
For, behold, Yhwh cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread 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.
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down 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 sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they 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 I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
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 the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
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.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
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 her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Ẹ má ṣe sọ ní Gati ẹ má ṣe sọkún rárá. Ní ilẹ̀ Beti-Ofra mo yí ara mi nínú eruku.
Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the 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 ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth–ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 Nítorí àwọn tí ó ń gbé ni Marati ń retí ìre, ṣùgbọ́n ibi sọ̀kalẹ̀ ti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá sí ẹnu-bodè Jerusalẹmu.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from Yhwh unto 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.
O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
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 presents to Moresheth–gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie 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.
Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam 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 poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
