Micah 3
1 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 justice?
Y dije: Les ruego que escuchen ahora, jefes de Jacob y gobernantes de la Casa de Israel: ¿No corresponde a ustedes conocer justicia?
2 Ye who hate the good, and love the evil, who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones,
Ustedes, que aborrecen el bien y aman el mal, que les arrancan la piel y la carne de sus huesos,
3 who also 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 caldron.
que comen la carne de mi pueblo, desollan su piel, les quiebran sus huesos y los cortan como carne para el caldero y para la olla.
4 Then they shall cry to Jehovah, 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.
Entonces claman a Yavé, pero Él no responderá. Esconderá su rostro en ese tiempo, porque hicieron obras perversas.
5 Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who make my people to err, who bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace. And he who does not put into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Yavé dice esto a los profetas que extravían a mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, proclaman paz y al que nada pone en sus bocas le declaran guerra santa.
6 Therefore it shall be night to you, that ye shall have no vision. And it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine. And the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Por tanto, una noche sin brujería caerá sobre los profetas, y el día será oscuro para ellos. El sol se ocultará para el profeta, y el día será oscuro sobre ellos.
7 And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded. Yea, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.
Los videntes serán avergonzados, los adivinos confundidos. Todos ellos tendrán su boca cerrada porque no hay respuesta de ʼElohim.
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Pero yo estoy lleno de poder del Espíritu de Yavé, de justicia y de valor, para declarar a Jacob su rebelión y a Israel su pecado.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Escúchenme esto, jefes de la casa de Jacob, gobernantes de la Casa de Israel, ustedes quienes aborrecen la justicia y pervierten todo lo que es equidad,
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
que edifican a Sion con sangre derramada y a Jerusalén con iniquidad:
11 The heads of it judge for a bribe, and the priests of it teach for a wage, and the prophets of it divine for money. Yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us.
Sus magistrados juzgan por soborno, sus sacerdotes enseñan por la paga, sus profetas adivinan por dinero, se apoyan en Yavé y dicen: ¿No está Yavé en medio de nosotros? ¡No vendrá mal sobre nosotros!
12 Therefore for your sake Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Por tanto, por causa de ustedes, Sion será arada como un campo, Jerusalén será una pila de ruinas, y la Montaña del Templo como colinas de escaso bosque.
