Micah 3
1 Then I said: “Hear now, O leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Should you not know justice?
Kowos mwet kol lun Israel, porongeyu! Pwayeiya uh kowos pa ac arulana nunku ac suk ma suwohs,
2 You hate good and love evil. You tear the skin from my people and strip the flesh from their bones.
a kowos tuh srunga ma wo ac lungse ma koluk. Kowos sukela kulun mwet luk ke elos moul na, ac takusla ikwalos liki srelos.
3 You eat the flesh of my people after stripping off their skin and breaking their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”
Kowos kangla mwet luk. Kowos kolosla kolo kaclos, koteya srelos, ac pakpukiya manolos oana ikwa ma ac manman in sie tup.
4 Then they will cry out to the LORD, but He will not answer them. At that time He will hide His face from them because of the evil they have done.
Pacl se ac tuku ke kowos fah wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, tuh El ac fah tia topuk kowos. El ac fah tia lohng pre lowos, mweyen kowos oru ma na koluk.
5 This is what the LORD says: “As for the prophets who lead My people astray, who proclaim peace while they chew with their teeth, but declare war against one who puts nothing in their mouths:
Mwet luk uh kiapweyukla sin mwet palu su wuleang nu sin mwet ma moli nu selos mu ac oasr misla, ac elos aksangengye mwet ma tia moli nu selos mu ac oasr mweun. A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet palu ingan,
6 Therefore night will come over you without visions, and darkness without divination. The sun will set on these prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
“Mwet palu, len lowos apkuran in safla. Faht uh ac tili fowos. Mweyen kowos kiapwela mwet luk, ac fah tia sifilpa oasr ku lowos in liye aruruma, ac kowos ac fah tia sifilpa ku in palye kutena ma.”
7 Then the seers will be ashamed and the diviners will be disgraced. They will all cover their mouths because there is no answer from God.”
Elos su palye pacl fahsru ac fah akmwekinyeyuk ke sripen palu lalos tia pwaye. Elos ac fah mwekinla mweyen God El tia topkolos.
8 As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.
A funu nga, LEUM GOD El nwekyula ke ngun ac ku lal, ac ase nu sik in kalem ke nununku suwohs, ac pulaik in fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah mea ma koluk lalos.
9 Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,
Porongeyu, kowos mwet kol lun Israel, kowos su srunga nununku suwohs ac furokla ma pwaye nu ke ma sutuu.
10 who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Kowos musai Jerusalem, siti lun God, fin pwelung in akmas ac nununku sesuwos.
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD, saying, “Is not the LORD among us? No disaster can come upon us.”
Mwet leum lun acn uh oru nununku lalos wiwi lupan mol nu selos, ac mwet tol elos lungas Ma Sap in eis mwe moul kac, ac mwet palu oru fahkak lalos in mol nu selos. A elos inge nukewa fahk mu LEUM GOD El welulos. Elos fahk, “Wangin mwe sensen fah sun kut. LEUM GOD El wi kut.”
12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.
Na pa ke sripowos, Zion ac fah pukpukyak oana sie acn in ima, ac Jerusalem ac fah oana sie yol in ma kulawi, ac fin tohktok se ma Tempul oan we ac fah ekla sie insak.
