< Michaeas 7 >

1 Alas for me! for I am become as one gathering straw in harvest, and as [one gathering] grape-gleanings in the vintage, when there is no cluster for me to eat the first-ripe fruit: alas my soul!
Wanginla finsrak luk! Nga oana sie mwet masrinsral su tia ku in konauk fokinsak ulun sak uh, ac wangin pac grape ke oa in grape uh. Grape nukewa ac fig emwem nukewa kinkinla tari.
2 For the godly is perished from the earth; and there is none among men that orders [his way] aright: they all quarrel even to blood: they grievously afflict every one his neighbour:
Wanginna sie mwet suwohs lula fin acn uh, wangin sie su inse pwaye nu sin God. Mwet nukewa suk pacl fal in orek akmas. Elos suk na in oru koluk nu sin mwet Israel wialos.
3 they prepare their hands for mischief, the prince asks [a reward], and the judge speaks flattering words; it is the desire of their soul:
Elos nukewa mwet na pisrla in oru ma koluk. Mwet fulat ac mwet nununku soano in oasr mol nu selos meet liki elos fah oru ma kunalos. Mwet pweyen uh elos fahk ma elos kena kac, na mwet kol ingan insese nu kac ac tukeni orek pwapa lukma.
4 therefore I will take away their goods as a devouring moth, and as one who acts by a [rigid] rule in a day of visitation. Woe, woe, thy times of vengeance are come; now shall be their lamentations.
Finne mwet su srulun wo ac lulalfongiyuk inmasrlolos, a elos mwet lusrongten oana mah uh. Len sac summa tari ke God El ac kalyei mwet uh, oana ke El tuh sensenkakinulos meet ke pusren mwet palu. Inge elos arulana fohsak.
5 Trust not in friends, and confide not in guides: beware of thy wife, so as not to commit anything to her.
Nimet lulalfongi mwet tulan lom ku mwet kawuk lom. Liyaung ma kom fahk, finne nu sin mutan kiom.
6 For the son dishonours his father, the daughter will rise up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: those in his house [shall be] all a man's enemies.
In pacl inge tulik mukul nutin papa uh oru papa uh oana mwet lalfon, ac tulik mutan uh supangkas nu sin nina kialos uh, ac mutan fusr akukuin nu sin nina talupalos. Mwet lokoalok lun sie mwet pa mwet na in sou lal sifacna.
7 But I will look to the Lord; I will wait upon God my Saviour: my God will hearken to me.
Tusruktu nga fah tawi na LEUM GOD; nga fah tupan God, mweyen nga lulalfongi lah El ac moliyula. God luk El fah porongeyu.
8 Rejoice not against me, mine enemy; for I have fallen [yet] shall arise; for though I should sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light to me.
Wangin sripa mwet lokoalok lasr in niankusri kut. Kut ne ikori, tuh kut ac fah sifilpa tuyak. Kut ne oasr in lohsr in pacl inge, tuh LEUM GOD El kalem lasr.
9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he make good my cause: he also shall maintain my right, and shall bring me out to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
Kut tuh oru ma Koluk lain LEUM GOD, na pa inge kut enenu in muteng kasrkusrak lal ke kitin pacl. Tusruktu ke saflaiya El ac fah loangekut ac akwoyela ma koluk su tuh orek nu sesr. El ac fah uskutme nu ke kalem. Kut fah moul ac liye ke El ac molikutla.
10 And she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shall clothe herself with shame, who says, Where [is] the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall look upon her: now shall she be for trampling as mire in the ways.
Na mwet lokoalok lasr fah liye ma inge ac mwekinla — nuna mwet lokoalok pacna su tuh isrun kut ac fahk, “Pia sruk LEUM GOD se lowos an?” Kut ac fah liye ke kutangyukla elos, ac lolongyuki oana fohk furarrar inkanek uh.
11 [It is] the day of making of brick; that day shall be thine utter destruction, and that day shall utterly abolish thine ordinances.
Mwet Jerusalem, pacl in sifilpa musai pot in siti uh summa. In pacl sac acn lowos ac fah akyokyeyukelik.
12 And thy cities shall be levelled, and parted among the Assyrians; and thy strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Mwet lowos fah folokeni nu yuruwos liki acn nukewa — liki acn Assyria layen kutulap, liki Egypt layen eir, liki acn nukewa apunla Infacl Euphrates, liki meoa ac fineol yen loessula uh.
13 And the land shall be utterly desolate together with them that inhabit it, because of the fruit of their doings.
Tusruktu faclu ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis ke sripen ma koluk lalos su muta fac.
14 Tend thy people with thy rod, the sheep of thine inheritance, those that inhabit by themselves the thicket in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in the land of Basan, and in the land of Galaad, as in the days of old.
LEUM GOD, kom in oana sie shepherd nu sin mwet lom, mwet su kom sulela. Elos finne muta mukaimtal insak uh, oasr na ima wowo raunelosla. Lela elos in som mongo in ima wowo lun Bashan ac Gilead, oana ke elos tuh oru in pacl meet ah.
15 And according to the days of thy departure out of Egypt shall ye see marvellous [things].
Orek mwenmen nu sesr, LEUM GOD, in oana ke kom tuh oru in len ingo ke kom uskutme liki acn Egypt.
16 The nations shall see and be ashamed; and at all their might they shall lay their hands upon their mouth, their ears shall be deafened.
Mutanfahl puspis ac fah liye ma inge ac arulana mwekinla kac, finne yohk ku lalos. Elos fah kaliya oallos ac fonosya insraclos ke sripen elos toasrla.
17 They shall lick the dust as serpents crawling on the earth, they shall be confounded in their holes; they shall be amazed at the Lord our God, and will be afraid of thee.
Elos fah orak infohk uh oana wet uh. Ke sripen sangeng lalos elos ac rarrar ac tuku liki pot ku lalos, ac forla nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.
18 Who is a God like thee, cancelling iniquities, and passing over the sins of the remnant of his inheritance? and he has not kept his anger for a testimony, for he delights in mercy.
Wangin sie pac god oana kom, O LEUM GOD. Kom nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet lom su painmoulla. Kom tia sruokya kasrkusrak lom nwe tok, ac kom insewowo in fahkak nu sesr lungse kawil lom.
19 He will return and have mercy upon us; he will sink our iniquities, and they shall be cast into the depth of the sea, [even] all our sins.
Kom ac fah sifilpa pakoten nu sesr. Kom fah futungya ma koluk lasr nu ye niom, ac supweya nu yen loallana in meoa uh!
20 He shall give blessings truly to Jacob, and mercy to Abraam, as thou swarest to our fathers, according to the former days.
Kom fah akkalemye oaru ac lungse kawil lom nu sin mwet lom, mwet in fwil natul Abraham ac Jacob, oana ke kom wuleang nu sin mwet matu lasr pacl loes somla ah.
