¹Ny tenin'i Jehovah izay tonga tamin'i Morastita tamin'ny andro nanjakan'i Jotama sy Ahaza ary Hezetia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, dia ilay hitany ny amin'i Samaria sy Jerosalema.

¹A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he hath seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem:

²[Ny loza hanjo an'i Samaria sy Joda] Samia mihaino ianareo, ry firenena rehetra; Atongilano ny sofinareo, ry tany sy izay zavatra rehetra eo aminy; Ary aoka Jehovah Tompo no ho vavolombelona hanameloka anareo, Dia Jehovah avy ao amin'ny tempoliny masina.

²Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The Lord from His holy temple.

³Fa, indro, Jehovah mivoaka avy ao amin'ny fitoerany Ary midina ka mandia ny havoana amin'ny tany.

³For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth.

⁴Miempo ao ambaniny ny tendrombohitra, Ary mivava ny lohasaha, Tahaka ny savoka taninin'ny afo, Sy tahaka ny rano akorotsaka eny amin'ny hantsana.

⁴Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters cast down by a slope.

⁵Noho ny fahadisoan'i Jakoba sy ny fahotan'ny taranak'Isiraely no isian'izany rehetra izany. Iza no nahadiso an'i Jakoba? Tsy Samaria va? Ary iza no fitoerana avon'i Joda? Tsy Jerosalema va?

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 the high places of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?

⁶Koa Samaria dia hataoko korontam-bato any an-tsaha Sy tany fambolem-boaloboka; Ary hakorotsako ho any an-dohasaha ny vatony, Ka haharihariko ny fanorenany.

⁶And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her stones, And her foundations I uncover.

⁷Hotorotoroina ny sampiny voasokitra rehetra, Ary hodorana amin'ny afo ny tanginy rehetra, Sady hofoanako ny sampiny rehetra; Tangin'ny vehivavy janga no nanangonany ireny, Ary hody ho tangin'ny vehivavy janga indray izy.

⁷And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation, For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire of a harlot they return.

⁸Koa izany no hitomaniako sy hidradradradrako, Ka handeha sady horobaina no mitanjaka aho; Hikaonkaona toy ny amboadia aho Ary hikiakiaka toy ny ostritsa.[Heb. hisaona][Na: jakala][Heb. hitomany]

⁸For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.

⁹Fa tsy azo sitranina ny ferin'i Samaria; Fa mihatra amin'i Joda izany, Ary mahatratra ny vavahadin'ny oloko aza, dia any Jerosalema.[He. ny feriny]

⁹For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It hath come to a gate of My people — to Jerusalem.

¹⁰Aza ambaranareo any Gata izany, Aza mitomany akory! Mihosinkosina vovoka ao Beti-le-afra aho.[Na: mihosinkosena... ianao][Beti-le-afra = fitoeram-bovoka]

¹⁰In Gath tell ye not — in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in dust roll thyself.

¹¹Mandehana mitanjaka mitondra henatra, ry mponina ao Safira; Tsy mivoaka ny mponina ao Zanana; Ny fisaonan'i Beti-haezela no misakana anareo tsy hijanona ao.[Safira: = tsara tarehy]

¹¹Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing.

¹²Fa malahelo ny soa ny mponina ao Marota, Satria loza no efa nidina avy tamin'i Jehovah ho ao am-bavahadin'i Jerosalema.[Heb. manaintaina][Marota = fangidiana]

¹²For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.

¹³Fehezo amin'ny soavaly haingam-pandeha ny kalesy, ry mponina ao Lakisy; Niandohan'ny fahotan'i Ziona zanakavavy iny, Fa tao aminao no nahitana ny fahadisoan'Isiraely.

¹³Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in thee have been found the transgressions of Israel.

¹⁴Koa izany no hanomezanao taratasy fisaorana ho an'i Moresetagata; Ranotrambo ho an'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely ireo tranon'i Akziba.[Akziba = ranotrambo]

¹⁴Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel.

¹⁵Mbola hitondrako olon-kandova ianao. Ry mponina ao Maresa; Ho tonga hatrany Adolama aza ny voninahitr'Isiraely.[Maresa = lova]Miheteza sy mikakasa Noho ny zanakao nahafinaritra; Halehibiazo ny solanao ho toy ny an'ny voltora, Fa lasan-ko babo niala taminao izy. [karazam-borona lehibe izay sola]

¹⁵Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel.

¹⁶Miheteza sy mikakasa Noho ny zanakao nahafinaritra; Halehibiazo ny solanao ho toy ny an'ny voltora, Fa lasan-ko babo niala taminao izy. [karazam-borona lehibe izay sola]

¹⁶Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!
