Mika 3
1 Eka ne awacho niya, “Winjuru un jotelo maka Jakobo, un jotelo mag dhood Israel. Donge onego ungʼe ngʼado bura kare.
And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Umon gi gik mabeyo to uhero gik maricho; ukidho pien joga oko ka uyiecho ringʼo oko e chokegi.
Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, 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?”
and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.
4 Kinde biro ma giniywag ne Jehova Nyasaye to ok enodwokgi ngangʼ. Kindeno enopandnegi wangʼe nikech gik maricho magisetimo.
Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
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.
Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into 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 ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
7 Jokor wach wigi biro kuot kendo jo-nyakalondo none wichkuot. Dhogi nomoki nikech ok giniyud dwoko moa kuom Nyasaye.”
And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of 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 truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Winjuru wachni, un jotelo mag dhood Jakobo, un jotelo mag dhood Israel, un ma usin gadiera kendo uriambo,
Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity,
10 un mugero Sayun gi remo, to Jerusalem gi timbe mamono.
that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.
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.”
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Emomiyo Sayun ibiro pur ka puodho, Jerusalem biro dongʼ gunda, got matin mogerie hekalu nobed ka bungu motwere moyugno.
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
