Micah 3
1 And I sayd, Heare, I pray you, O heads of Iaakob, and yee princes of the house of Israel: should not ye knowe iudgement?
Mgbe ahụ ekwuru m sị, “Geenụ ntị unu ndịisi ụlọ Jekọb, na unu ndị na-achị ezinaụlọ Izrel. Ọ bụ na unu ekwesighị ịmata ikpe ziri ezi
2 But they hate the good, and loue the euill: they plucke off their skinnes from them, and their flesh from their bones.
unu bụ ndị kpọrọ ezi ihe asị ma na-ahụ ajọ ọrụ nʼanya. Unu na-agba ndị m akpụkpọ na ndụ na-agbapụkwa anụ ahụ kpuchiri ọkpụkpụ ha.
3 And they eate also the flesh of my people, and flay off their skinne from them, and they breake their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Unu na-erida anụ ahụ ndị nke m, na-agba ha akpụkpọ, na-etijisi ọkpụkpụ ha, na-egburi anụ ahụ ha, dịka anụ a na-esinye nʼite.”
4 Then shall they crye vnto the Lord, but he will not heare them: he wil euen hide his face from them at that time, because they haue done wickedly in their workes.
Mgbe ahụ ha ga-akpọku Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ gaghị aza ha! Mgbe oge ahụ bịaruru, ọ ga-ezo ihu ha site nʼebe ha nọ nʼihi ihe ọjọọ nke ha mere.
5 Thus saith the Lord, Concerning the prophets that deceiue my people, and bite them with their teeth, and cry peace, but if a man put not into their mouthes, they prepare warre against him,
Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru: “Banyere ndị amụma bụ ndị na-eduhie ndị m, mgbe ha nwere ihe ha ga-eri, ha na-ekwusa ‘Udo’ ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ enyeghị ha nri, ha na-ebili buo agha megide onye dị otu a.
6 Therefore night shalbe vnto you for a vision, and darkenesse shalbe vnto you for a diuination, and the sunne shall goe downe ouer the prophets, and the day shalbe darke ouer them.
Ya mere nʼabalị ga-abịakwasị ha, napụ ha ike ịhụ ọhụ; ọchịchịrị ga-ekpuchi ha, ka ha ghara ịjụta ase ọbụla. Anwụ ga-ada nʼebe ndị amụma ahụ nọ, ụbọchị ga-agbakwa ọchịchịrị nye ha.
7 Then shall the Seers bee ashamed, and the southsayers confounded: yea, they shall all couer their lippes, for they haue none answere of God.
Ndị ọhụ ụzọ ka ihere ga-eme, ndị na-ajụ ase ka a ga-emebọ. Ha ga-ekpuchi ihu ha, nʼihi na ọsịsa ọbụla agaghị esite nʼebe Chineke nọ bịara ha.”
8 Yet notwithstanding I am full of power by the Spirite of the Lord, and of iudgement, and of strength to declare vnto Iaakob his transgression, and to Israel his sinne.
Ma mụ onwe m, ejupụtara m nʼike, ejupụtara m na Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị, jupụtakwa na mmụọ nke ikpe ziri ezi, na nke ịdị ike ikwupụta nye Jekọb njehie ya, na nye Izrel mmehie ya.
9 Heare this, I pray you, ye heades of the house of Iaakob, and princes of the house of Israel: they abhorre iudgement, and peruert all equitie.
Geenụ ntị unu ndị na-achị ezinaụlọ Jekọb, na unu ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel. Ndị kpọrọ ikpe ziri ezi asị, ma na-ewere ihe niile na-ezighị ezi nʼọnọdụ ihe ziri ezi.
10 They build vp Zion with blood, and Ierusalem with iniquitie.
Ndị ji ọbara wuo Zayọn, werekwa ajọ omume wuo Jerusalem.
11 The heads thereof iudge for rewardes, and the Priestes thereof teache for hyre, and the prophets thereof prophecie for money: yet wil they leane vpon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among vs? no euill can come vpon vs.
Ndịisi ya na-ekpe ikpe nʼihi ngarị, ndị nchụaja ya na-akụzi ihe nʼihi ụgwọ, ebe ndị amụma ya na-ajụta ase nʼihi ego. Ma ha dabere na Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị ọ nọnyeereghị anyị? O nweghị ihe ọjọọ ga-abịakwasị anyị.”
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake bee plowed as a field, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the house, as the hye places of the forest.
Ọ bụ nʼihi gị ka a ga-akọgharị Zayọn dịka ala ubi, Jerusalem ga-aghọ ebe e kpokọtara nkume na ngwongwo ụlọ dakpọrọ adakpọ, ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ga-aghọ ebe dị elu nke oke ọhịa tochiri.
