Micah 7
1 Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.
Hĩ, kaĩ ndĩ mũnyamarĩku-ĩ! Ndariĩ ta mũndũ ũrongania maciaro maarĩkia kũgethwo hĩndĩ ya riũa, o ta mũndũ ũrahaara thabibũ thuutha wa magetha; gũtirĩ kĩmanjĩka gĩa thabibũ kĩngĩrĩĩo, o na kana ngũyũ iria ciambaga kwĩrua iria ngoro yakwa ĩĩriragĩria.
2 The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.
Andũ arĩa eetigĩri Ngai nĩmathirĩte bũrũri‑inĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe mũrũngĩrĩru ũtigarĩte. Andũ othe maikarĩte metereire gũita thakame; o mũndũ araguĩma mũrũ wa nyina na wabu.
3 Their hands are made ready to do evil; the ruler makes requests for money, and the judge is looking for a reward; and the great man gives decisions at his pleasure, and the right is twisted.
Mahũthagĩra moko mao meerĩ gwĩka ũũru; mũtongoria etagia iheo na hinya, nake mũciirithania aamũkagĩra mahaki; arĩa marĩ hinya nĩo moigaga kĩrĩa mekwenda: othe makagĩa ndundu ya gwĩka ũũru.
4 The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.
Ũrĩa mwega mũno wao ahaana ta congʼe, ũrĩa mũrũngĩrĩru mũno nĩ mũũru gũkĩra rũgiri rwa mĩigua. Mũthenya ũrĩa arangĩri aku matũire makwĩraga ũhoro waguo nĩmũkinyu, mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai agaagũceerera. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ihinda rĩa kĩrigiicano kĩao.
5 Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
Ndũkanehoke mũndũ wa itũũra; ndũkanehoke o na mũrataguo. Menyerera ciugo cia kanua gaku, ndũkaanahe mũtumia waku ũcio ũkomaga gĩthũri‑inĩ gĩaku ũhoro.
6 For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.
Nĩgũkorwo mũriũ nĩagĩte gũtĩĩa ithe, nake mũirĩtu akaremera nyina, o nake mũtumia wa mũriũ akaremera nyaciarawe, thũ cia mũndũ igaatuĩka andũ a nyũmba yake mwene.
7 But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ hakwa‑rĩ, ndĩcũthagĩrĩria Jehova ndĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro, njetereire Ngai Mũhonokia wakwa; Ngai wakwa-rĩ, nĩakanjigua.
8 Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee thũ yakwa-rĩ, tiga kũngenerera! O na ingĩgũa gũtirĩ hĩndĩ itagookĩra! O na ingĩikara nduma-inĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩwe ũrĩtuĩkaga ũtheri wakwa.
9 I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;
Tondũ nĩ niĩ ndĩmwĩhĩirie, nĩngũkirĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nginya rĩrĩa we akaanjiirĩrĩra, na onanie kĩhooto gĩakwa. Nĩakanduta nduma-inĩ, andehe ũtheri-inĩ, na niĩ nĩngeyonera ũthingu wake.
10 And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo thũ yakwa nĩĩkeyonera ũguo, na ĩhumbwo thoni, o ĩyo yanjũũragia atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku akĩrĩ ha?” Rĩu nĩ hĩndĩ maitho makwa mekwĩonera kũgũa kwayo, o na ĩkarangĩrĩrio thĩ ta ndooro ya njĩra-inĩ.
11 A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.
Mũthenya wa gwaka thingo ciaku nĩũgakinya, o guo mũthenya wa kwaramia mĩhaka yaku.
12 In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
Mũthenya ũcio, andũ nĩmagooka kũrĩ we moimĩte Ashuri na matũũra manene ma Misiri, na bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ ka bũrũri wa Misiri na Rũũĩ rwa Farati, na kuuma iria rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na kuuma kĩrĩma kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
13 But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.
Thĩ nĩĩkanangĩka ĩkire ihooru nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo, marĩ maciaro ma ciĩko ciao.
14 Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.
Rĩithia andũ aku na mũthĩgi waku, nĩo rũũru rwa igai rĩaku, rũrĩa rwĩrĩithagia rũrĩ rwiki mũtitũ-inĩ, kũrĩa kũrĩ ũrĩithio mũnoru. Reke irĩe o kũu Bashani na Gileadi, o ta ũrĩa ciarĩĩaga matukũ ma tene.
15 As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.
“Ta ũrĩa gwatariĩ matukũ marĩa mwoimire bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩngamoonia morirũ makwa.”
16 The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped.
Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikoona na iconoke, itunyĩtwo hinya wacio wothe. Nĩikenyiita tũnua twacio, na ihingare matũ ciage kũigua.
17 They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
Igaacũnaga rũkũngũ ta nyoka, ta ciũmbe iria ikurumaga thĩ. Nĩikoimĩra kuuma imamo-inĩ ciacio ikĩinainaga; nĩigacookerere Jehova Ngai witũ na guoya, na nĩigagwĩtigĩra.
18 Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.
Nĩ Ngai ũrĩkũ ũhaana tawe, ũrĩa ũrekagĩra matigari ma igai rĩake mehia na ũremi wao? Ndũtũũraga ũrakarĩte nginya tene, no nĩũkenagio nĩ kũiguanĩra tha.
19 He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
Nĩũgatũiguĩra tha rĩngĩ, mehia maitũ nĩũkamarangĩrĩria na makinya, na waganu witũ wothe ũũnyugute iria-inĩ kũrĩa kũriku.
20 You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.
Nĩũgatũũria kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku kũrĩ Jakubu, na ũiguĩre Iburahĩmu tha, o ta ũrĩa werĩire maithe maitũ na mwĩhĩtwa matukũ-inĩ macio ma tene.
