Micah 3
1 And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
Kowos mwet kol lun Israel, porongeyu! Pwayeiya uh kowos pa ac arulana nunku ac suk ma suwohs,
2 You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their 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 Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
Kowos kangla mwet luk. Kowos kolosla kolo kaclos, koteya srelos, ac pakpukiya manolos oana ikwa ma ac manman in sie tup.
4 Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
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 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
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 shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened 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 And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of 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 But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, 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 Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, 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 You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Kowos musai Jerusalem, siti lun God, fin pwelung in akmas ac nununku sesuwos.
11 Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall 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, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
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.
