< Micah 1 >

1 In pacl ma Jotham, ac Ahaz, ac Hezekiah elos tuh tokosra lun acn Judah, LEUM GOD El sang kas inge nu sel Micah, su sie mwet in siti srisrik Moresheth. LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sel Micah kalmen ma inge nukewa ke Samaria ac Jerusalem.
The word of the Lord that came to Micheas the Morasthite, in the days of Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda: which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Lohng ma se inge, kowos mutanfahl nukewa; Porongo ma se inge, kowos nukewa su muta fin faclu! LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac fah kaskas lain kowos. Lipsre! El kaskas liki Tempul lal inkusrao me.
Hear, all ye people: and let the earth give ear, and all that is therein: and let the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 LEUM GOD El tuku liki acn mutal sel. El fah oatui ac fahsr fin mangon eol uh.
For behold the Lord will come forth out of his place: and he will come down, and will tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Na eol uh ac fah kofelik ye nial Oana kiris ma oan ke e uh. Ma inge ac fah kahkla nu infahlfal uh, Oana kof uh ke sororla pe eol uh.
And the mountains shall be melted under him: and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as waters that run down a steep place.
5 Ma inge nukewa ac sikyak mweyen mwet Israel elos orekma koluk ac tunyuna lain God. Tunyuna lun Israel ac sisi nu fin su? Nu fin Samaria sifacna, siti fulat selos! Ac su ac eis mwatan alu nu ke ma sruloala in acn Judah? Jerusalem sifacna!
For the wickedness of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Juda? are they not Jerusalem?
6 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah kunausla Samaria tuh in oana sie yol in ma musalla in acn turangang, yen grape uh yok we. Nga fah okoala eot musalsal lun siti uh nu infahlfal uh, ac oru tuh in wangin ma oan fin pwelung lun siti sac.
And I will make Samaria as a heap of stones in the field when a vineyard is planted: and I will bring down the stones thereof into the valley, and will lay her foundations bare.
7 Ma sruloala nukewa ma saok sin mwet we ac fah fokfoki nu ke ip srisrik, ac ma nukewa ma itukyang nu sin mutan ma kosro in tempul lul ma sruloala ac eis molo kac fah isisyak ke e. Mwe alyalu saya nukewa ac fah orala sie yol in ma sisila. Samaria el tuh eisani molin mutan kosro uh in akkasrupye fokin acn uh, a inge mwet lokoalok lun Samaria ac fah usla ma inge ac sang nu sin mutan kosro ke tempul lun ma sruloala in acn saya.”
And all her graven things shall be cut in pieces, and all her wages shall be burnt with fire, and I will bring to destruction all her idols: for they were gathered together of the hire of a harlot, and unto the hire of a harlot they shall return.
8 Na Micah el fahk, “Ke sripa se inge nga ac fah mwemelil ac eoksra. Nga ac fah koflufolla foroht forma, ac tia loeyuk niuk, in akkalemye asor luk. Nga fah wowoyak oana kosro inima, ac mwemelil oana pusren sie kakowa ke fong.
Therefore will I lament and howl: I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.
9 Kinet ke Samaria tiana ku in mahla, ac Judah el apkuran in sun pac luman keok sacna. Mwe ongoiya sun tari mutunpot lun Jerusalem, acn su mwet luk muta we.”
Because her wound is desperate, because it is come even to Juda, it hath touched the gate of my people even to Jerusalem.
10 Nimet fahk nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr in acn Gath lah kutangyukla kut. Nimet lela elos in liye ke kowos tung. Mwet in Beth Leaphrah, kowos ipippip infohk uh in akkalemye inse toasr lowos!
Declare ye it not in Geth, weep ye not with tears: in the house of Dust sprinkle yourselves with dust.
11 Kowos mwet Shaphir, kowos ac som nu in sruoh, koflufol ac mwekin. Elos su muta in Zaanan tiana ku in ilme liki siti selos. Pacl se kowos lohng pusren tung in acn Bethezel, kowos ac etu na lah wangin nien wikla we.
And pass away, O thou that dwellest in the Beautiful place, covered with thy shame: she went not forth that dwelleth in the confines: the House adjoining shall receive mourning from you, which stood by herself.
12 Mwet Maroth elos tawi ac tupan in kasreyuk elos, mweyen LEUM GOD El oru tuh ongoiya lulap apkuranyang nu Jerusalem.
For she is become weak unto good that dwelleth in bitterness: for evil is come down from the Lord into the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Kowos su muta in Lachish, kapriya horse an nu ke chariot an. Kowos etai ma koluk lun Israel, pwanang Jerusalem oru pac ma koluk.
A tumult of chariots hath astonished the inhabitants of Lachis: it is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Sion, for in thee were found the crimes of Israel.
14 Ac kowos mwet Judah, wilkasla nu sin acn Moresheth Gath. Ac fah wangin kasru lun siti srisrik Achzib nu sin tokosra lun Israel.
Therefore shall she send messengers to the inheritance of Geth: the houses of lying to deceive the kings of Israel.
15 Mwet Mareshah, LEUM GOD El fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok, su ac fah sruokya acn in muta lowos. Mwet kol lun Israel fah som ac wikla in sie luf in acn Adullam.
Yet will I bring an heir to thee that dwellest in Maresa: even to Odollam shall the glory of Israel come.
16 Mwet Judah, kalla aunsifowos in asor ke tulik kowos kuloi. Koala insifowos in mangsrasrala oana sifen won vulture uh, mweyen tulik nutuwos ac fah utukla liki kowos nu in sruoh.
Make thee bald, and be polled for thy delicate children: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle: for they are carried into captivity from thee.
