Micah 3
1 I said, "Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn't it for you to know justice?
Ne ndyoka ŋŋamba nti, “Muwulire mmwe abakulembeze ba Yakobo, mmwe abafuzi b’ennyumba ya Isirayiri. Si mmwe mwandisaanidde okumanya obwenkanya,
2 You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
mmwe abakyawa ekirungi ne mwagala ekibi; mmwe ababaagako abantu bange eddiba ne mubaggyako ennyama ku magumba?
3 who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Mulya ennyama yaabwe, ne mubabaagako eddiba, amagumba gaabwe ne mugamenyaamenya, era ne mubasalaasala ng’ennyama eneefumbibwa mu nsaka.”
4 Then they will cry to Jehovah, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil."
Balikoowoola Mukama, naye talibaanukula. Mu biro ebyo alibakweka amaaso ge olw’ebibi bye bakoze.
5 Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Peace." and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Bannabbi ababuzaabuza abantu balangirira nti, ‘Mirembe,’ eri oyo abaliisa, naye oyo atabaliisa bamuggulako olutalo.
6 "Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
Noolwekyo ekiro kiribajjira, awatali kwolesebwa, n’enzikiza ebajjire awatali kulagulwa. Enjuba erigwa nga bannabbi balaba, n’obudde bubazibirire.
7 The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God."
Abalabi baliswazibwa n’abalaguzi bakwatibwe ensonyi. Bonna balibikka amaaso gaabwe kubanga Katonda tabaanukula.”
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
Naye nze, nzijjudde amaanyi n’Omwoyo wa Mukama, okwekaliriza ensonga n’obuvumu, njasanguze eri Yakobo olw’ebikolwa bye ebibi by’akola, olw’ekibi kya Isirayiri.
9 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Mumpulirize mmwe abakulembeze b’ennyumba ya Yakobo, Mmwe abafuzi b’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, Mmwe abanyooma obwenkanya Ne mukyusa ekituufu ne mukifuula ekikyamu;
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
mmwe abazimbidde Sayuuni ku musaayi, Ne Yerusaalemi ne mugizimbira ku butali butuukirivu.
11 Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Jehovah, and say, "Isn't Jehovah in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us."
Abakulembeze be, balya enguzi ne basala omusango nga beekubiira, bakabona be, baggya ensimbi ku bantu balyoke bayigirize, ne bannabbi be, baagala okuwa obunnabbi nga bamaze kusasulwa. Kyokka bajuliza Mukama nga boogera nti, “Mukama tali naffe? Tewali kinaatutuukako.”
12 Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
Noolwekyo ku lwammwe, Sayuuni eririmibwa ng’ennimiro, ne Yerusaalemi erifuuka ntuumu ya bifunfugu, n’akasozi okuli yeekaalu kafuuke ng’akabira akakutte.
