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.
Lozako! fa efa tonga toy ny fiotazam-boankazo aho Sy toy ny fitsimponam-boaloboka, Tsy misy salohy hohanina, Na aviavy mialin-taona, izay irin’ ny fanahiko,
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.
Lany tsy misy amin’ ny tany intsony ny tsara fanahy; Eny, tsy misy olo-marina ao amin’ ny olombelona; Samy manotrika handatsa-drà avokoa izy, Eny, mihaza ny rahalahiny amin’ ny harato izy rehetra.
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.
Vonona hanao ratsy ny tànany; Mila ny mpanapaka, Azon-kolikoly ny mpitsara, Ary ny lehibe milaza ny fitsiriritan’ ny fanahiny, Koa izany no entiny mandrarirary azy.
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.
Na dia ny tsara indrindra ao aminy aza dia toy ny roy, Ary na dia ny mahitsy indrindra ao aminy aza dia ratsy noho ny fefy tsilo; Avy ny andron’ ny tilinao, izay hamaliana anao; Amin’ izany dia vao ho very hevitra ianao.
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.
Aza matoky namana ianareo, Aza mahazo am-po izay sakaiza mahazatra; Fa ambeno ny varavaran’ ny vavanao na dia amin’ izay andefimandrinao aza.
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.
Fa ny zanakalahy manamavo ny rainy, Ny zanakavavy mitsangan-kanohitra ny reniny, Ary ny vinantovavy hanohitra ny rafozani-vavy; Ary ny ankohonan’ ny olona ihany no fahavalony.
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.
Fa izaho kosa dia hanandrandra an’ i Jehovah, Eny, hiandry an’ Andriamanitry ny famonjena ahy aho; Andriamanitro no hihaino ahy.
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.
Aza mifaly ahy, ry fahavaloko, Fa na dia lavo aza aho, mbola hiarina ihany; Raha mitoetra ao amin’ ny maizina aho, Dia Jehovah no fahazavana ho ahy.
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;
Ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia hiaretako ihany, Fa efa nanota taminy aho, Ambara-pandahany ny teniko Sy hanomezany rariny ho ahy; Hamoaka ahy ho amin’ ny mazava Izy, Ka ho faly aho mahita ny fahamarinany.
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.
Dia hahita izany ilay fahavaloko ka hosaronan-kenatra, Dia ilay nanao tamiko hoe: Aiza Izay Jehovah Andriamanitrao? Ho faly mahita azy ny masoko; Ankehitriny dia ho fanitsakitsaka toy ny fotaka eny an-dalambe izy.
11 A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.
He ny andro hananganana ny mandanao! Amin’ izany andro izany dia hitarina ny faritra.
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.
Amin’ izany andro izany koa dia hanatona anao ny olona Avy any Asyria sy avy any amin’ ny tanànan’ i Egypta, Eny, hatrany Egypta ka hatramin’ ny Ony, Ary hatramin’ ny ranomasina ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina, Ary hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra ka hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra.
13 But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.
Nefa ho lao ny tany noho ny amin’ ny mponina eo aminy, Dia noho ny vokatry ny asany.
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.
Ny tehinao no ento miandry ny olonao, Dia ny ondry lovanao, Izay monina mitokana, dia any an’ ala ao an-tampon’ i Karmela; Aoka handrasana any Basana sy Gileada ireny Toy ny tamin’ ny andro taloha ela.
15 As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.
Toy ny tamin’ ny andro nivoahanao avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta No hanehoako azy zava-mahagaga.
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.
Hahita izany ny jentilisa, Ka hahamenatra azy ny heriny rehetra; Hitampim-bava izy, Ho tonga marenina ny sofiny.
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.
Hilelaka ny vovoka toy ny menarana izy; Hiala amin-kovitra avy ao amin’ ny fiarovany mafy tahaka ny biby mikisaka amin’ ny tany izy; Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia hohatoniny amin-kovitra, Eny, hatahotra Anao izy.
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.
Iza no Andriamanitra tahaka Anao, Izay mamela heloka Sady mandalo ny fahadisoan’ ny sisa amin’ ny lovany? Tsy mitana ny fahatezerany ho mandrakizay Izy, Fa tia famindram-po.
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.
Hamindra fo amintsika indray Izy Ka hanitsakitsaka ny fahotantsika, Eny, harianao ho any amin’ ny ranomasina lalina ny fahotany rehetra.
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.
Hanefa fahamarinana ho an’ i Jakoba Hianao Sy famindram-po ho an’ i Abrahama, Dia ilay nianiananao tamin’ ny razanay hatramin’ ny andro taloha ela.
