Wahala Dey for Dem Wey Dey Oppress Pipul
E start with people wey dey lie down awake dey plan how to seize farm and house, den dem do am for morning because dem fit. Dem tell Micah make e stop to preach. Our Papa say e dey plan something for dem too, den suddenly promise to gather di remnant like flock.
2 1Wahala dey for dem wey dey plan bad-bad tin and dey cook evil for dem bed! For morning wen light show, dem go carry am do, because dem get di power to do am. 2Dem dey crave farm and dey grab am, and house, and dey carry am comot. Dem dey oppress man and im house, person and di inheritance wey be im own.
3Naim make our Papa talk sey: Look, against dis family I dey plan disaster, wey una no fit pull una neck comot from am; una no go fit raise una head up, because na evil time. 4For dat day dem go raise mock-song against una and go cry with bitter cry, dey talk sey, “Dem don finish us patapata! E dey trade comot di share of my pipul; see as e dey tear am comot from me! To di traitor e dey share our farm.” 5Naim you no go get anybody wey go throw di measuring rope by lot for di assembly of our Papa. a a v5 To throw di measuring rope by lot na how Israel bin dey share land among families; to lose dis right mean sey you comot from di community inheritance forever.
Di Papa Shut Mout of Lie-Lie Prophets
6“No preach!” na so dem dey preach. “Nobody suppose preach dis kind tin; shame no go catch us.”
7Dem suppose talk dis tin, house of Jacob? Di Spirit of our Papa don lose patience? Na dis kind tin be im work? My word no dey bring good to di person wey dey waka correct-and-holy way?
8But now-now my pikin dem don rise up like enemy. Una dey tear di fine cloth comot from dem wey dey pass wey no suspect anytin, like men wey dey come back from war wey no want any fight. 9Una dey drive di women of my pipul comot from dem sweet home; from dem small pikin una dey take my glory comot forever. 10Get up and comot, because dis no be place of rest; because e don dirty, e dey bring destruction—destruction wey heavy well-well. 11If man wey dey live by empty lie-lie go tell lie sey, “I go preach to una about wine and alcohol,” na him go be di correct preacher for dis pipul!
Di Papa Gada Im Pipul Wey Remain
12I go sure-sure gada all of una, Jacob; I go sure-sure bring togeda di pipul of Israel wey remain. I go put dem as one, like sheep for pen, like flock for inside dem grazing ground—place wey full with plenty pipul dey make noise.
13Di one wey dey break di road open dey go up before dem; dem break pass and pass di gate, dey comot troway am. Dem King dey go ahead of dem, our Papa for dem front. b b v13 Di one wey dey break di road open na Jesus, wey dey go ahead of im pipul to open di path go home and lead dem comot from every captivity—dem King, with our Papa for dem front.
