Micah 3
1 And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
Ary hoy izaho: Masìna ianareo, mihainoa, ry loholon’ i Jakoba, Sy ianareo mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely: Tsy anjara-raharahanareo va ny hahalala ny rariny?
2 You who are haters of good and lovers of evil, pulling off their skin from them and their flesh from their bones;
Dia ianareo izay mankahala ny tsara ka tia ny ratsy, Izay manendaka ny hoditry ny olona Sy ny nofony amin’ ny taolany,
3 Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the cooking-pot.
Eny, ianareo izay homana ny nofon’ ny oloko koa Sady manendaka ny hodiny Ary mamakivaky ny taolany; Eny, mitetika azy toy ny hatao am-bilany izy, Ary toy ny hena ao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena.
4 Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.
Amin’ izany dia hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah izy, Nefa tsy hohenoiny; Hanafina ny tavany aminy amin’ izany andro izany Izy Araka ny faharatsian’ ny nataon’ ireo.
5 This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpaminany izay mampaniasia ny oloko, dia ireo izay manaikitra amin’ ny nifiny, nefa mitory fiadanana, ary izay tsy manisy hanina eo am-bavany kosa dia iantsoany hanaovana ady masìna:
6 For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
Koa izany no hisian’ ny alina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fahitana, Ary ny maizina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fankatovana; Fa hilentika tsy hanazava ny mpaminany ny masoandro, Ary ho maizina aminy ny andro,
7 And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God.
Dia ho menatra ny mpahita, Ary hangaihay ny mpanao fankatovana; Eny, hitampim-bava avokoa izy rehetra, Satria tsy misy valiny avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
8 But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin.
Fa izaho kosa dia feno hery, dia ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, Mbamin’ ny rariny sy ny faherezana, Mba hanambara amin’ i Jakoba ny helony Sy amin’ Isiraely ny fahotany.
9 Then give ear to this, you heads of the children of Jacob, you rulers of the children of Israel, hating what is right, twisting what is straight.
Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izao, Ry loholon’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Sy ry mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely, Dia ianareo izay manao ny rariny ho fahavetavetana Sy mamadika ny hitsiny rehetra,
10 They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing.
Dia izay manangana an’ i Ziona amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin’ ny faharatsiana.
11 Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.
Ny mpifehiny mitsara hahazoany kolikoly, Ary ny mpisorony mampianatra hahazoany karama, Ary ny mpaminany manao fankatovana hahazoany vola; Nefa Jehovah mbola iankinany ihany hoe: Tsy ato amintsika va Jehovah? Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika.
12 For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.
Koa dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly Ziona noho ny nataonareo, Ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, Ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.
