< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Hankàñe amo mpikilily hatsivokarañeo, o mikitro-draha an-tihi’eo! Ie berabera andro le mañeneke kanao am-pità’ iareo ty haozarañe.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Mihañe teteke, le mitavañe, naho anjomba, le minday; aa le forekekè’ iereo ty fokontokoñe rekets’ i akiba’ey, vaho t’indaty naho i lova’ey.
3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Inao, safirieko hekoheko ty fifokoañe toy, le tsy haha-votso-­bozoñ’ ama’e nahareo, vaho ko mañavelo an-drengevoke; fa ho san-kankàñe.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a grievous lamentation, and say, We are utterly wasted: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
Amy andro zay le handrazan-drehake ty ama’o iereo, naho handala am-pirovetañe ty hoe: Vata’e rotsake zahay; novae’e ty anjara’ ondatikoo, akore ty nanintaha’e amako! Tsy ho navaha’e o tete’aio? te mone zarae’e.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
Aa le tsy eo ty hikozozotse talim-panjeheañe an-kitsapak’ ami’ty valobohò’ Iehovà ho azo.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
Ko mitaroñe, hoe ty taroñe’ iareo; Tsy hitaroña’iareo o raha zao, tsy mone ho salareñe.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD shortened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Hoe ty volañeñe ry anjomba’ Iakobe, Tsy mahaliñe hao t’i Arofo’ Iehovà? Sata’e hao rezao? Tsy mahasoa ty mpañavelo an-kavantañañe hao o volakoo?
8 Even of late my people hath risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to war.
Fe nitroatse ho rafelahy omale ondatikoo; endahe’ areo ty sarimbo reketse ty akanjo’ ondaty mitoañe am-panintsiñañeo, o mimpoly boak’añ’alio.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
Ampisitahe’ areo o rakemba’ ondatikoo; songa boak’ añ’anjomba’e soa fihamiñe; asinta’ areo amo keleia’ iareoo kitro-katroke ty engeko.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a grievous destruction.
Miongaha! Akia! fa tsy fitofà’ areo ty atoy; i haloera’ey ty maharotsake am-pandrotsahañe mitivontivoñe.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood doth lie, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Naho teo ty mpañorike tioke naho vande, nandañitse ami’ty hoe: Hitaroñe divay naho toake ama’ areo raho, ie ty hatao mpilañoñe am’ondaty retoañe.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Toe havoriko rehe, ry Iakobe, ihe iaby; toe hatontoko ty sengaha’ Israele; hatraoko hoe añondry am-piandrazañe ao; manahake ty lia-raik’ an-golobo’e ao; higoreongoreoñe ty am’ondatio.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and have gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Miakatse aolo’ iareo mb’eo t’i Mpampiboroboñake; miboroboñake mb’eo iereo, mivavatse mb’an-dalambey naho miakatse añe; vaho miary aolo mb’eo ty Mpanjaka’ iareo, Iehovà ty mpiaolo’ iareo.
