Mika 3
1 Eka ne awacho niya, “Winjuru un jotelo maka Jakobo, un jotelo mag dhood Israel. Donge onego ungʼe ngʼado bura kare.
I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Is not it for you to know justice?
2 Umon gi gik mabeyo to uhero gik maricho; ukidho pien joga oko ka uyiecho ringʼo oko e chokegi.
You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Uchamo ringre joga, uyiecho pien dendgi, kendo utoyo chokegi matindo tindo. Ukengogi ka ringʼo midwa chielo, ka ringʼo midwa tedo e agulu?”
who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
4 Kinde biro ma giniywag ne Jehova Nyasaye to ok enodwokgi ngangʼ. Kindeno enopandnegi wangʼe nikech gik maricho magisetimo.
Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
5 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne jonabi mane omiyo joga obaro oweyo yo, ka ngʼato omiyogi chiemo to giwacho ni, ‘kwe nitie,’ to ka ok omiyogi chiemo, to giikore tugo kode lweny.
The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever does not provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
6 Kuom mano otieno biro choponu ma ok nune fweny, mudho nojuku ma ok nungʼe weche mopondo. Chiengʼ biro podho ne jonabi kendo odiechiengʼ nolokrenegi mudho.
“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
7 Jokor wach wigi biro kuot kendo jo-nyakalondo none wichkuot. Dhogi nomoki nikech ok giniyud dwoko moa kuom Nyasaye.”
The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”
8 An to apongʼ gi teko, apongʼ gi Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye, kod adiera kod nyalo mar hulo ne joka Jakobo kethogi, mar nyiso jo-Israel richogi gi kethogi.
But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
9 Winjuru wachni, un jotelo mag dhood Jakobo, un jotelo mag dhood Israel, un ma usin gadiera kendo uriambo,
Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
10 un mugero Sayun gi remo, to Jerusalem gi timbe mamono.
who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Jotende ngʼado bura ka omigi asoya. Jodolo mag-gi bende puonjo weche mag chik komigi chudo, kendo jonabi mage koro wach mana komigi chudo. To pod giyiengore mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye kagiwacho niya, “Donge Jehova Nyasaye ni e dierwa, onge masira mabiro makowa.”
Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come on us.”
12 Emomiyo Sayun ibiro pur ka puodho, Jerusalem biro dongʼ gunda, got matin mogerie hekalu nobed ka bungu motwere moyugno.
Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
