Micah 3
1 Then I said, “Please listen, leaders of the descendants of Jacob, people of Israel. You are meant to know the difference between right and wrong,
Kinunak, “Ita, dumngegkayo, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti Jacob ken agturturay iti balay ni Israel: Saan kadi a rumbeng a maawatanyo ti hustisia?
2 you who hate good and love evil! You tear off their skin, and rip the flesh from their bones.
Dakayo a manggurgura iti naimbag ken mangay-ayat iti dakes, dakayo a manglaplaplap iti kudilda, iti lasagda manipud kadagiti tulangda-
3 You eat the flesh of my people, you strip off their skin, you break their bones. You chop them up like meat for the saucepan, like flesh for the cooking pot.”
dakayo met a mangkakaan iti lasag dagiti tattaok, ken manglaplapgis iti kudilda, mangtuktukkol kadagiti tulangda ken mangtadtadtad kadakuada, a kasla karne nga iluto iti banga, a kasla karne iti kaldero.
4 Then they'll cry out to the Lord, but he won't answer them. He will turn away from them at that time because of the evil things they have done.
Ket dakayo a mangiturturay, umawagkayonto kenni Yahweh, ngem saanakayonto a sungbatan. Iti dayta a tiempo, saannakayonto a denggen, gapu ta naka-aramidkayo iti dakes.”
5 This is what the Lord says about the prophets who deceive my people. To those who feed them they prophesy peace to them, while to those who do not they prophesy war against them.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kadagiti profeta a mangiyaw-awan kadagiti tattaok: “Ipablaakda kadagiti mangpakpakan kadakuada, ‘Addanto iti kinarang-ay.' Ngem para kadagiti awan ti maipakanna kadakuada, mangirugida iti gubat a maibusor kenkuana.
6 Therefore it will be like night for you, with no visions; dark, with no predictions. The sun will set on these prophets; their day will end in darkness.
Ngarud, agbalinto daytoy a rabii kadakayo ket awanton ti masirmatayo; sumipngetto daytoy tapno awanto ti maipadtoyo. Lumnekton ti init kadagiti profeta, ket sumipngetto ti aldaw kadakuada.
7 The seers will be disgraced, the fortune-tellers put to shame, and they will cover their faces because none of them receive any answer from God.
Maibabainto dagiti mammadles, ken mariribukanto dagiti mammadto. Apputendanto amin dagiti bibigda, ta saankonto ida a sungbatan.”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to make clear to the descendants of Jacob their rebellion, and to the people of Israel their sin.
Ngem no maipapan kaniak, napnoanak iti pannakabalin babaen iti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ken napnoanak iti hustisia ken bileg, a mangibutaktak iti panagsalungasing ni Jacob ken iti basol ni Israel.
9 Listen to me, leaders of the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel, you who hate justice and distort all that is right.
Ita, denggenyo daytoy, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti balay ni Jacob, ken agturturay iti balay ni Israel, dakayo a mangurgura iti hustisia, ken mangkilkillo iti amin a nalinteg.
10 You are building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil.
Ipatakderyo ti Sion babaen iti panagpasayasay iti dara ken ti Jerusalem babaen iti kinadakes.
11 Your leaders judge for a bribe, and your priests teach for a price, and your prophets only prophesy for pay. Yet they all lean on the Lord saying, “Isn't the Lord here with us? Nothing bad can happen to us!”
Mangukom dagiti mangidadauloyo gapu iti pasuksok, mangisuro dagiti padiyo gapu iti gunggona, ken agipadto dagiti profetayo gapu iti kuarta. Ngem agsadagkayo latta kenni Yahweh ket kunayo, “Saan kadi nga adda kadatayo ni Yahweh? Awanto ti dakes nga umay kadatayo.”
12 Therefore because of you Zion will become a ploughed field and Jerusalem a heap of rubble, and the Temple mount will be overgrown.
Ngarud, gapu kadakayo, maaradonto ti Sion a kas iti maysa a talon, agbalinto ti Jerusalem a gabsuon iti nagrebbaan, ken agbalinto ti turod iti templo a kasla kabakiran a turod.
