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?
Nígbà náà, ni mo wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yin olórí Jakọbu, ẹ̀yin alákòóso ilé Israẹli. Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin kò ha ni í gba òdodo bí.
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Ẹ̀yin tí ó kórìíra ìre, tí ẹ sì fẹ́ràn ibi; ẹ̀yin tí ẹ fa awọ ẹran-ara àwọn ènìyàn mi ya kúrò lára wọn àti ẹran-ara wọn kúrò ní egungun wọn;
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.
àwọn tí ó jẹ ẹran-ara àwọn ènìyàn mi, wọn sì bọ́ awọ ara wọn kúrò lára wọn. Wọ́n sì fọ́ egungun wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́; wọn sì gé e sí wẹ́wẹ́ bí ẹran inú ìkòkò, bí ẹran inú agbada?”
4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, 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.
Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò kígbe sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n òun kì yóò dá wọn lóhùn. Ní àkókò náà ni òun yóò fi ojú rẹ̀ pamọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn, nítorí ibi tí wọ́n ti ṣe.
5 Thus saith the LORD 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.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ní ti àwọn Wòlíì tí ń ṣi àwọn ènìyàn mi lọ́nà, tí ẹnìkan bá fún wọn ní oúnjẹ, wọn yóò kéde àlàáfíà; ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá fi nǹkan sí wọn ní ẹnu, wọn yóò múra ogun sí i.
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.
Nítorí náà òru yóò wá sórí yín, tí ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí ìran kankan, òkùnkùn yóò sì kùn fún yín, tí ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì lè sọtẹ́lẹ̀. Oòrùn yóò sì wọ lórí àwọn wòlíì ọjọ́ yóò sì ṣókùnkùn lórí wọn.
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.
Ojú yóò sì ti àwọn wòlíì àwọn alásọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú yóò sì gba ìtìjú. Gbogbo wọn ni yóò bo ojú wọn, nítorí kò sí ìdáhùn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, èmi kún fún agbára pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí Olúwa, láti sọ ìré-òfin-kọjá Jakọbu fún un, àti láti sọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Israẹli fún un.
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.
Gbọ́ ẹ̀yin olórí ilé Jakọbu, àti ẹ̀yin alákòóso ilé Israẹli, tí ó kórìíra òdodo tí ó sì yí òtítọ́ padà;
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
tí ó kọ́ Sioni pẹ̀lú ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, àti Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú.
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 among us? none evil can come upon us.
Àwọn olórí rẹ̀ ń ṣe ìdájọ́ nítorí àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ sì ń kọ́ni nítorí owó ọ̀yà àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú sì ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nítorí owó. Síbẹ̀, wọn gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Nítòótọ́, Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú wa! Ibi kan kì yóò bá wa.”
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.
Nítorí náà, nítorí tiyín, ni a ó ṣe ro Sioni bí oko, Jerusalẹmu yóò sì di ebè àti òkè tẹmpili bí i ibi gíga igbó.
