< Micah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
In pacl ma Jotham, ac Ahaz, ac Hezekiah elos tuh tokosra lun acn Judah, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Micah, su sie mwet in siti srisrik Moresheth. LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sel Micah kalmen ma inge nukewa ke Samaria ac Jerusalem.
2 Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
Lohng ma se inge, kowos mutanfahl nukewa; Porongo ma se inge, kowos nukewa su muta fin faclu! LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac fah kaskas lain kowos. Lipsre! El kaskas liki Tempul lal inkusrao me.
3 For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
LEUM GOD El tuku liki acn mutal sel. El fah oatui ac fahsr fin mangon eol uh.
4 And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
Na eol uh ac fah kofelik ye nial Oana kiris ma oan ke e uh. Ma inge ac fah kahkla nu infahlfal uh, Oana kof uh ke sororla pe eol uh.
5 All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
Ma inge nukewa ac sikyak mweyen mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ac tunyuna lain God. Tunyuna lun Israel ac sisi nu fin su? Nu fin Samaria sifacna, siti fulat selos! Ac su ac eis mwatan alu nu ke ma sruloala in acn Judah? Jerusalem sifacna!
6 So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah kunausla Samaria tuh in oana sie yol in ma musalla in acn turangang, yen grape uh yok we. Nga fah okoala eot musalsal lun siti uh nu infahlfal uh, ac oru tuh in wangin ma oan fin pwelung lun siti sac.
7 And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
Ma sruloala nukewa ma saok sin mwet we ac fah fokfoki nu ke ip srisrik, ac ma nukewa ma itukyang nu sin mutan ma kosro in tempul lul ma sruloala ac eis molo kac fah isisyak ke e. Mwe alyalu saya nukewa ac fah orala sie yol in ma sisila. Samaria el tuh eisani molin mutan kosro uh in akkasrupye fokin acn uh, a inge mwet lokoalok lun Samaria ac fah usla ma inge ac sang nu sin mutan kosro ke tempul lun ma sruloala in acn saya.”
8 For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
Na Micah el fahk, “Ke sripa se inge nga ac fah mwemelil ac eoksra. Nga ac fah koflufolla foroht forma, ac tia loeyuk niuk, in akkalemye asor luk. Nga fah wowoyak oana kosro inima, ac mwemelil oana pusren sie kakowa ke fong.
9 For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Kinet ke Samaria tiana ku in mahla, ac Judah el apkuran in sun pac luman keok sacna. Mwe ongoiya sun tari mutunpot lun Jerusalem, acn su mwet luk muta we.”
10 Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
Nimet fahk nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr in acn Gath lah kutangyukla kut. Nimet lela elos in liye ke kowos tung. Mwet in Beth Leaphrah, kowos ipippip infohk uh in akkalemye inse toasr lowos!
11 Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
Kowos mwet Shaphir, kowos ac som nu in sruoh, koflufol ac mwekin. Elos su muta in Zaanan tiana ku in ilme liki siti selos. Pacl se kowos lohng pusren tung in acn Bethezel, kowos ac etu na lah wangin nien wikla we.
12 For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
Mwet Maroth elos tawi ac tupan in kasreyuk elos, mweyen LEUM GOD El oru tuh ongoiya lulap apkuranyang nu Jerusalem.
13 Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
Kowos su muta in Lachish, kapriya horse an nu ke chariot an. Kowos etai ma koluk lun Israel, pwanang Jerusalem oru pac ma koluk.
14 For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
Ac kowos mwet Judah, wilkasla nu sin acn Moresheth Gath. Ac fah wangin kasru lun siti srisrik Achzib nu sin tokosra lun Israel.
15 Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
Mwet Mareshah, LEUM GOD El fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok, su ac fah sruokya acn in muta lowos. Mwet kol lun Israel fah som ac wikla in sie luf in acn Adullam.
16 Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
Mwet Judah, kalla aunsifowos in asor ke tulik kowos kuloi. Koala insifowos in mangsrasrala oana sifen won vulture uh, mweyen tulik nutuwos ac fah utukla liki kowos nu in sruoh.
