< 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 Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite 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, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is in it: and let Jehovah be witness against you, Jehovah from his holy temple.
3 Wò ó! Olúwa ń bọ̀ wá láti ibùgbé rẹ̀; yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀, yóò sì tẹ ibi gíga ayé mọ́lẹ̀.
For, look, Jehovah comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on 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.
The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like 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?
"All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they 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 like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
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.”
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute 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 I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, and moan like the daughters of 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 wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to 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.
Do not tell it in Gath. Do not weep at all. At Beth Leaphrah I have rolled myself 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 on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won't come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
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 waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Jehovah 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.
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Nítorí náà ni ìwọ ó ṣe fi ìwé ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ fún Moreṣeti Gati. Àwọn ilé Aksibu yóò jẹ́ ẹlẹ́tàn sí àwọn ọba Israẹli.
Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing 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.
I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah. He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
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.
Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture; for they have gone into captivity from you.
