< Micah 3 >

1 And I said: Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
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 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who rob their skin from off them, and their flesh from off 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 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones; yea, they chop them in pieces, as that which is in the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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 shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not answer them; yea, He will hide His face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
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 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that cry: 'Peace', when their teeth have any thing to bite; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare 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 Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall 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 shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their upper lips; for there shall be no answer of 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 power by the spirit of the LORD, and of justice, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, 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 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity;
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 That build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Dia izay manangana an’ i Ziona amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin’ ny faharatsiana.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say: 'Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon 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 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
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.
