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,
Le hoe iraho: Ehe, mijanjiña ry roandria’ Iakobe, naho o lohà’ i anjomba’ Israeleio, tsy inahareo hao ty hahafohiñe ty hatò?
2 You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
Ry mpalain-ty soa, naho mpitea haratiañeo; ry mampikorendake ty holi’ iareo, naho ty nofotse boak’an-taola’ iareo.
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.
Ry mpampibotseke ty nofo’ ondatikoo, mpañolitse iareo, mpampipozake o taola’eo, naho manoritory iareo ho am-balàñeo, hoe hena an-tsajoa.
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.
Hitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo henane zay, f’ie tsy hanoiñe; eka, haeta’e am’ iereo ty lahara’e amy andro zay, ty amy haloloan-tsata’ iareoy.
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.
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà ty amo mpitoky mampandilatse ondatikoo; mikoike ty hoe: Fierañerañañe, kanao ahazoa’e ty ho tifarem-pamotsi’e; fe hentseñe’e aly ty tsy mampijon-draha am-palie’e ao.
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.
Aa le ho haleñe ama’ areo izay, tsy amañ’aroñaroñe, naho ho ieñe ama’ areo, tsy hisikiliañe; ho tsofots’ andro amo mpitokio, himoromoroñe am’ iereo te handro.
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.
Ho salatse o mpioniñeo, vaho ho tangòke o mpisikilio; eka, hanakom-palie iereo, amy te tsy manoiñe t’i Andrianañahare.
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.
Fe mañatsak’ ahy ty haozaran’ Arofo’ Iehovà, naho ty hatò, vaho ty hafatrarañe, hitsey am’ Iakobe i fiolà’ey, naho am’ Israele i hakeo’ey.
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.
Ehe, janjiño zao, ry talen’ akiba’ Iakobeo, naho ry talèn’ anjomba’ Israeleo, ry mpalain-kavantañañeo, vaho mpañamengoke ze atao zaka-to;
10 You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Ie mamboatse i Tsione an-dio, naho Ierosalaime an-katsivokarañe.
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.
Mpizaka mipay tambe o mpiaolo’eo; mipay karama te mañòke o mpisoro’eo, naho mpitoky mpangala falitse o mpitoki’eo; inao, miato am’ Iehovà iereo, manao ty hoe: Tsy añivon-tika hao t’Iehovà? Toe tsy hifetsahan-kankàñe!
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.
Aa le inahareo ro itrabahañe i Tsione hoe tonda, naho Ierosalaime ho votrim-porompotse, vaho ty an-tamboho’ i vohi’ i anjombaiy ho ala.
