Micah 1:1-16

1The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem. 2Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.1.2 all ye…: Heb. ye people, all of them1.2 all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof 3For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 4And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.1.4 a steep…: Heb. a descent 5For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 6Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. 7And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

8Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.1.8 owls: Heb. daughters of the owl 9For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.1.9 her…: or, she is grievously sick of her wounds

10¶ Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.1.10 Aphrah: that is, Dust 11Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.1.11 thou…: or, thou that dwellest fairly1.11 inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress1.11 Zaanan: or, The country of flocks1.11 Beth-ezel: or, A place near 12For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.1.12 inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress1.12 waited…: or, was grieved 13O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.1.13 inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress 14Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.1.14 to…: or, for Moresheth-gath1.14 Achzib: that is, A lie 15Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.1.15 inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress1.15 he…: or, the glory of Israel shall, etc 16Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

Mika 1:1-16

1Yehova anayankhula ndi Mika wa ku Moreseti pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yotamu, Ahazi ndi Hezekiya, mafumu a ku Yuda. Awa ndi masomphenya amene iye anaona onena za Samariya ndi Yerusalemu.

2Tamverani, inu anthu a mitundu yonse,

mvetsera iwe dziko lapansi ndi okhala mʼmenemo,

pakuti Ambuye Yehova achitira umboni wokutsutsani,

Ambuye akuyankhula ali mʼnyumba yake yopatulika.

Chiweruzo cha Samariya ndi Yerusalemu

3Taonani! Yehova akubwera kuchokera ku malo ake;

Iye akutsika ndipo akuponda pa malo okwera a dziko lapansi.

4Mapiri akusungunuka pansi pake,

ndipo zigwa zikugawikana

ngati phula pa moto,

ngati madzi ochokera mʼphiri.

5Zonsezi ndi chifukwa cha cholakwa cha Yakobo,

chifukwa cha machimo a nyumba ya Israeli.

Kodi cholakwa cha Yakobo nʼchiyani?

Kodi si Samariya?

Kodi malo achipembedzo a Yuda ndi ati?

Kodi si Yerusalemu?

6“Choncho Ine ndidzasandutsa Samariya kukhala bwinja,

malo odzalamo mphesa.

Miyala yake ndidzayitaya ku chigwa

ndipo ndidzafukula maziko ake.

7Mafano ake onse ndidzawaphwanyaphwanya;

mphatso zake zonse ndidzazitentha ndi moto;

ndidzawononga zifanizo zonse za milungu yake.

Popeza analandira mphatso zake kuchokera ku malipiro a akazi achiwerewere,

mphatsozonso zidzagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi ena ngati malipiro a akazi achiwerewere.”

Kulira ndi Kumva Chisoni

8Chifukwa cha zimenezi ine ndidzalira momvetsa chisoni;

ndidzayenda wopanda nsapato ndi wamaliseche.

Ndidzafuwula ngati nkhandwe

ndi kulira ngati kadzidzi.

9Pakuti chilonda cha Samariya nʼchosachizika;

chafika ku Yuda.

Chafika pa chipata chenicheni cha anthu anga,

mpaka mu Yerusalemu mwenimwenimo.

10Musanene zimenezi ku Gati;

musalire nʼkomwe.

Mugubuduzike mu fumbi

ku Beti-Leafura.

11Inu anthu okhala ku Safiro,

muzipita ku ukapolo muli amaliseche ndi amanyazi.

Iwo amene akukhala ku Zanaani

sadzatuluka.

Beti-Ezeli akulira mwachisoni;

chitetezo chake chakuchokerani.

12Anthu amene amakhala ku Maroti akubuwula ndi ululu,

akuyembekezera thandizo,

chifukwa Yehova wabweretsa tsoka,

lafika mpaka pa chipata cha Yerusalemu.

13Inu anthu okhala ku Lakisi

mangani akavalo ku magaleta.

Inu amene munayamba kuchimwitsa

mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni,

pakuti zolakwa za Israeli

zinapezeka pakati panu.

14Chifukwa chake perekani mphatso zolawirana

ndi a ku Moreseti Gati.

Mzinda wa Akizibu udzaonetsa kunama

kwa mafumu a Israeli.

15Ndidzabweretsa mgonjetsi kudzalimbana ndi inu

okhala mu Maresa.

Ulemerero wa Israeli udzafika

ku Adulamu.

16Metani mipala mitu yanu kuonetsa kuti mukulirira

ana anu amene mumawakonda;

mudzichititse dazi ngati dembo,

pakuti anawo adzatengedwa pakati panu kupita ku ukapolo.
