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 judgment?
Ningĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta iguai, inyuĩ atongoria a Jakubu, o inyuĩ aathani a nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Githĩ mũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩkũmenya ũhoro wa gũtuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto.
2 who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
No inyuĩ mũthũire maũndũ mega no mũkenda marĩa mooru; inyuĩ mũnũraga andũ akwa ikonde, na mũgathoora nyama mahĩndĩ-inĩ mao.
3 who also eat the flesh of my people; and they flay their skin from off them, and break their bones: yea, they chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Inyuĩ mũrĩĩaga nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya andũ akwa, mũkamonũra ikonde na mũkoinanga mahĩndĩ mao tũcunjĩ; O inyuĩ mũmatinangagia ta nyama cia gũkarangwo na rũgĩo, o na ta nyama cia gũtherũkio na nyũngũ.”
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magaakaĩra Jehova, nowe ndakamacookeria. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩakahitha ũthiũ wake kuuma kũrĩ o, tondũ wa ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte.
5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wa anabii acio mahĩtithagia andũ akwa, mũndũ aamahe irio, maanagĩrĩra makiugaga ‘thayũ,’ no angĩmaima irio, makahaarĩria mbaara ya kũmũũkĩrĩra.
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.
Tondũ ũcio, ũtukũ nĩũkamũhubanĩria, mwage kuona cioneki, mũhubanĩrio nĩ nduma mwage ũguũrio. Riũa nĩrĩgathũĩra anabii, naguo mũthenya ũmatuĩkĩre nduma.
7 And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips: for there is no answer of God.
Ooni-maũndũ nĩmagaconoka, nao aragũri maconorithio. Othe nĩmakahumbĩra mothiũ mao, tondũ gũtirĩ ũhoro magaacookerio nĩ Ngai.”
8 But I truly 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.
No hakwa-rĩ, niĩ njiyũrĩtwo nĩ hinya, na ngaiyũrwo nĩ Roho wa Jehova, o na ngaiyũrwo nĩ kĩhooto na ũhoti, nĩguo nyumbũrĩre Jakubu ũremi wake, na nyumbũrĩre Isiraeli mehia make.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ atongoria a nyũmba ya Jakubu, o inyuĩ aathani a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, inyuĩ mũmenaga kĩhooto, na mũkoogomia maũndũ marĩa ma ma;
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
inyuĩ mwakaga Zayuni na ũiti wa thakame, na mũgaaka Jerusalemu na waganu.
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.
Atongoria akuo matuaga ciira maahakwo, athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo marutanaga maarĩhwo, na anabii akuo marathaga mohoro maheo mbeeca. No rĩrĩ, megiritanagia na Jehova makoiga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Jehova ndakĩrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ gaitũ? Gũtirĩ ũũru ũngĩtũkora.”
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.
Nĩ tondũ wanyu-rĩ, Zayuni gũgaaciimbwo ta mũgũnda, Jerusalemu gũtuĩke hĩba ya mahiga, nakĩo kĩrĩma kĩrĩa gĩakĩtwo hekarũ gĩtuĩke kĩhumbu kĩmereirwo nĩ ihinga.
