Micah 7
1 Alas for me! for I am become as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
Ahụhụ dịrị m! Adị m ka onye na-achịkọta mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị nʼọkọchị, mgbe a ghọkọtachara mkpụrụ dị nʼubi vaịnị. O nweghị ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ọbụla fọdụrụ nke e nwere ike ịta, o nwekwaghị mkpụrụ fiig buru ụzọ chaa nke agụ ya na-agụsị m ike
2 Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
Ndị ezi omume agwụla nʼụwa, ọ dịkwaghị otu onye na-eme ihe ziri ezi fọdụrụ. Ha niile na-echere oghere ịkwafu ọbara, ha ji ụgbụ na-achụta nta, onye ọbụla na-achụ ụmụnne ya.
3 Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
Ọrụ nke aka ha abụọ na-arụpụta nke ọma bụ ajọ omume. Onyeisi na-ana onyinye, onye ọkaikpe na-eri ngarị, ndị dị ike na-atụpụta ihe masịrị ha, si otu a na-akpagbu eziokwu.
4 The best of them, is as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
Onye nke kachasị ibe ya ịdị mma nʼime ha dịka uke. Onye nke na-eme ihe ziri ezi nʼime ha jọrọ njọ karịa ogige ogwu. Ma ugbu a, ụbọchị Chineke na-eleta gị abịala, ụbọchị ahụ ndị nche gị na-akụ ekwe ịdọ aka na ntị. Ugbu a bụ oge ihe ịgba gharịị nye ha.
5 Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth;
Ekwenyerela onye agbataobi gị, atụkwasịla onye bụ ezi enyi gị obi. Kpachara anya gị, nʼihe gbasara okwu ọnụ gị, ọbụla dị nʼebe nwunye gị nọ.
6 For, the son, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
Nʼihi na nwa na-elelị nna ya anya. Nwa nwanyị na-ebili megide nne ya. Nwunye nwa megidekwa nne di ya, ndị iro mmadụ bụ ndị ezinaụlọ ya.
7 But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, I will wait for the God of my salvation, —My God, will hear me.
Ma mụ onwe m, ana m ele Onyenwe anyị anya nʼihi inyeaka ya. Eji m olileanya na-echere Chineke Onye nzọpụta m. Chineke m ga-anụ olu m.
8 Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is a light to me.
Achịkwala m ọchị gị onye iro m. Mgbe m dara, aga m ebilitekwa. Mgbe m nọ nʼime ọchịchịrị, Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya ga-abụ ihe m.
9 The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, I shall behold his righteousness.
Nʼihi na m emehiela megide ya, aga m anabatara onwe m ahụhụ nke ọnụma Onyenwe anyị, tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-ekpe ikpe m, mee ka m guzosie ike. Ọ ga-akpọpụta m nʼìhè; aga m elekwasịkwa ezi omume ya anya.
10 So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị iro m ga-ahụ, ihere ga-ekpuchi onye ahụ sịrị m, “Olee ebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ahụ nọ.” Aga m eji anya m hụ mgbe ọ ga-ada, ọ bụladị dịka e si na-azọ ya ụkwụ, dịka apịtị dị nʼokporoụzọ.
11 On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
Ụbọchị a ga-ewugharị mgbidi gị niile na-abịa; ụbọchị a ga-eme ka oke ala gị saa mbara.
12 The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain:
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha ga-abịakwute gị, site na Asịrịa ruo na obodo niile nke Ijipt, sitekwa nʼIjipt ruo Yufretis, site nʼosimiri ruo osimiri, sitekwa nʼugwu ruo nʼugwu.
13 Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason of the fruit of their doings.
Ma ụwa ga-aghọ ebe tọgbọrọ nʼefu nʼihi ndị bi nʼime ya, iji kwụọ ha ụgwọ ihe ọjọọ niile ha mere.
14 Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
Were mkpanaka gị zụọ ndị gị, bụ igwe ewu na atụrụ nke ihe nketa gị, ndị bi naanị ha nʼoke ọhịa, nʼebe ịta nri nke ahịhịa ndụ jupụtara. Kwere ka ha taa ahịhịa ndụ nke Bashan, na nke Gilead, dịka na mgbe ochie.
15 As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.
“Dịka nʼụbọchị ahụ unu sitere nʼIjipt pụta, aga m egosi ha ọrụ ịtụnanya m niile.”
16 Nations, shall see, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
Mba dị iche iche ga-ahụ ya, ihere ga-emekwa ha, nʼime ịdị ike ha niile. Ha ga-ekpuchi aka nʼọnụ ha, ntị ga-echikwa ha.
17 They shall lick the dust like the serpent, Like the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear because of thee.
Ha ga-aracha aja dịka agwọ, na dịka anụ dị iche iche, nke na-akpụ akpụ nʼala. Ha ga-eji ịma jijiji si nʼebe ha e wusiri ike pụta. Nʼihi egwu ha, ha ga-abịakwute Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị. Ha ga-atụkwa egwu gị.
18 Who is a GOD like unto thee, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
Onye bụ chi ahụ dịka gị, nke na-agbaghara ma na-ehichapụ mmehie na njehie nke ndị fọdụrụ afọdụ nʼetiti ihe nketa gị? Ị naghị anọgide na-ewe iwe ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, kama ị bụ onye ọ na-atọ ụtọ inwe obi ebere.
19 He will again have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
Ọ ga-emekwara anyị ebere ọzọ. Ọ ga-azọdakwa mmehie anyị nʼokpuru ukwu ya, Ị ga-atụbakwa mmehie anyị niile nʼebe dịkarịsịrị omimi nke oke osimiri.
20 Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
Ị ga-egosi Jekọb ntụkwasị obi, gosikwa Ebraham ịhụnanya gị, dịka ị ṅụọrọ nna nna anyị ha nʼiyi, site na mgbe ochie.
