< Micah 2 >

1 Ac mau fuka upaiya nu selos su oan na ngetnget ke fong, ac akoo in oru ma koluk. Toang na ke lotutang tok ah, elos orala ma koluk se elos akoo in oru fin mwesas nu selos.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Elos fin mwel ima se, na elos sruokya. Ac elos fin mwet lohm se, elos eisla pac. Wangin acn lun mwet, ku mwe usru lun sou se, ac oan okak.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Na pa LEUM GOD El Fahk, “Nga akola in use ongoiya nu fowos, ac kowos fah tia ku in kaingkunla. Kowos ac sun ongoiya, na kowos fah tia sifil farengreng.
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Ke pacl sac, mwet uh ac mau sramsramkin kowos oana sie pupulyuk ke mwe ongoiya lulap, ac elos fah yuk on soko inge ke ma upa ma kowos sun uh: Kut arulana musalla! LEUM GOD El eisla acn sesr liki kut Ac sang nu selos su uskutla nu in sruoh.”
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Ouinge, ke pacl se acn uh folokyang nu sin mwet lun LEUM GOD, ac fah wangin acn lun kutena suwos.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 Mwet uh kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Nimet luti nu sesr. Nimet fahk ma ingan nufon. God El ac tia aklusrongtenye kut.
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Ya kom nunku mu mwet Israel uh selngawiyuki? Ya wanginla mongfisrasr lun LEUM GOD? Ya pwaye El ac oru kain ouiya ingan? Ya El tia kaskas kulang nu sin mwet ma oru ma suwohs uh?”
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 A LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Kowos sroang orek anwuk nu sin mwet luk oana elos in mwet lokoalok lowos. Mukul su foloko liki mweun elos nunku mu elos wo ouiya sun lohm selos — elos tiana etu lah kowos muta soanelos in tuh pisrala nuknuk elos nukum uh.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 Kowos lusla mutan inmasrlon mwet luk liki acn selos su elos nunku yohk, ac kowos oru tuh tulik natulos in tia sifil eis mwe insewowo sik mwe tok.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Tuyak ac fahla liki acn inge. Wanginla nien molela yenu. Orekma koluk lowos arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh, pwanang ac fah sikiyukla.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 “Mwet inge lungkin kain mwet palu su foroht forma, sessesla ke kikiap ac kutasrik, ac fahk, ‘Nga palye mu ac fah arulana yohk wain ac mwe nim ku nimowos.’
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 “Tuh nga fah eiskowoseni nu sie, kowos mwet Israel nukewa su lula. Nga fah uskowoseni oana sheep su foloko nu in kalkal lalos uh. Acn suwos ac fah sifilpa sessesla ke mwet puspis, oana sie insroan mah su nwanala ke sheep.”
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 God El fah ikasla sie inkanek nu selos ac kololosla liki sruoh. Elos ac fah fokolla mutunpot ke siti uh ac sukosokla. LEUM GOD sifacna, su tokosra lalos, fah kololosla.
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
