Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Maika, ko e tangata Molesi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sotami, mo ʻAhasi, mo Hesekaia, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻa ne mamata ai naʻe kau ki Samēlia mo Selūsalema.
2 Hear, all you people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Fanongo ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē; fakafanongo ʻe māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: pea tuku ke talatalaakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻEiki mei hono fale tapu.
3 For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
He vakai, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻa Sihova mei hono potu, pea te ne hāʻele mai mo tuʻu ʻi he potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani.
4 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.
Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi lalo ʻiate ia, pea ʻe mafahi ʻae ngaahi teleʻa, hangē ko e pulu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe afi, pe hangē ko e vai ʻoku lilingi ʻi ha potu tahifohifo.
5 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?
“ʻOku hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa Sēkope, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi hia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli. Ko e hā ʻae angahala ʻa Sēkope? ʻIkai ko Samēlia? Pea ko e hā ʻae ngaahi potu Māʻolunga ʻo Siuta? ʻIkai ko Selūsalema?
6 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.
Ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Samēlia ke hangē ha puke ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻoku tō ʻi he ngoue vaine: pea te u lilingi ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo ia ki he teleʻa, pea te u fakahā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga.
7 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.
Pea ko e ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi ʻi ai, ʻe laiki, pea ko e ngaahi totongi kotoa pē ʻo ia, ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ko e ngaahi tamapua ko ia te u fakalala: he naʻa ne tānaki ia mei he totongi ʻoe muitau, pea ʻe foki ia ki he totongi ʻoe muitau.”
8 Therefore I will wail and wail, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Ko ia te u tangilāulau mo ʻioho, te u ʻalu veteki pe mo telefua: te u tangi ʻo hangē ha fanga siakali, pea tangi mamahi ʻo hangē ko e fanga lulu.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it has come unto Judah; he has come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
He ko hono lavea ʻoku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui; he kuo hoko ia ʻo aʻu ki Siuta, kuo ne hoko ki he matapā ʻo hoku kakai, ʻio, ki Selūsalema.
10 Declare all of you it not at Gath, weep all of you not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
ʻOua naʻa fakahā ia ʻi Kati, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa mou tangi: ʻi he fale ʻo ʻAfala, ke ke tekefili ʻi he efu.
11 Pass all of you away, you inhabitant of Saphir, having your shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
Mole atu ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Safila, mo e mā ʻa ho telefua: naʻe ʻikai ke hū mai ʻae kakai ʻo Senani ʻi he tangi ʻa Petesili; te ne maʻu meiate kimoutolu ʻa hono tuʻunga.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
He naʻe tatali ʻamanaki pe ki he lelei ʻae kau nofo ʻi Maloti: ka naʻe hoko ʻae kovi meia Sihova, ki he matapā ʻo Selūsalema.
13 O you 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 you.
ʻE! ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Lakisi, noʻotaki ʻae saliote ki he manu veʻe vave: ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe angahala ki he ʻofefine ʻa Saione: he ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate koe.
14 Therefore shall you give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Ko ia te ke ange ʻae ngaahi foaki ki Molesiti-Kati: ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAkisipi, ko e loi ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 Yet will I bring an heir unto you, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
Ka te u ʻomai ha foha hoko kiate koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Malesa: te ne haʻu ki ʻAtulami, ko e nāunau ʻo ʻIsileli.
16 Make you bald, and poll you for your delicate children; enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
Fakatekefua mo kosi koe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fānau fakapelepeleʻi; fakalahi ho tula hangē ko e ʻikale; he kuo nau ʻalu ki he pōpula meiate koe.
