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 rulers 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.
who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off 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?”
who also eat the flesh of my people; and they flay their skin from off them, and break their bones: yea, they chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Kinde biro ma giniywag ne Jehova Nyasaye to ok enodwokgi ngangʼ. Kindeno enopandnegi wangʼe nikech gik maricho magisetimo.
Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not answer them: yea, 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 the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even 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 it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; 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; yea, they shall all cover their lips: for there is 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 I truly am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of 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 rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 un mugero Sayun gi remo, to Jerusalem gi timbe mamono.
They 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.”
The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD 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 plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
