Micah 3
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
Kowos mwet kol lun Israel, porongeyu! Pwayeiya uh kowos pa ac arulana nunku ac suk ma suwohs,
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off 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 also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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 unto Yhwh, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
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 Yhwh concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even 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 unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark 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 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for 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 truly I am full of power by the spirit of Yhwh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, 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, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
Porongeyu, kowos mwet kol lun Israel, kowos su srunga nununku suwohs ac furokla ma pwaye nu ke ma sutuu.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Kowos musai Jerusalem, siti lun God, fin pwelung in akmas ac nununku sesuwos.
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 Yhwh, and say, Is not Yhwh among us? none evil can 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 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 the forest.
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.
