< Micah 3 >

1 And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
وَقُلْتُ اسْمَعُوا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ وَيَاقُضَاةَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: أَلا يَنْبَغِي لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا الْحَقَّ؟١
2 Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
أَنْتُمْ يَا مَنْ تُبْغِضُونَ الْخَيْرَ وَتُحِبُّونَ الشَّرَّ، وَتَسْلُخُونَ جُلُودَ شَعْبِي وَتُجَرِّدُونَ لُحُومَهُمْ عَنْ عِظَامِهِمْ.٢
3 And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
الَّذِينَ تَأْكُلُونَ لُحُومَ شَعْبِي، وَتَسْلُخُونَ جُلُودَهُمْ عَنْهُمْ وَتُهَشِّمُونَ عِظَامَهُمْ، وَتُقَطِّعُونَهُمْ كَمَا يُقَطَّعُ اللَّحْمُ فِي الْقِدْرِ، أَوْ كَاللَّحْمِ الْمُعَدِّ لِلْمِقْلَى.٣
4 Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
ثُمَّ حِينَ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِالرَّبِّ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُ وَيَحْجُبُ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ بِسَبَبِ مَا ارْتَكَبْتُمُوهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ.٤
5 Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ بِشَأْنِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَ شَعْبَهُ، الَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَ قَائِلِينَ: «سَلامٌ» لِمَنْ يُعْطِيهِمْ طَعَاماً، وَيُعْلِنُونَ الْحَرْبَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا يُلْقِمُ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ.٥
6 Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
لِذَلِكَ يَطْغَى عَلَيْكُمْ لَيْلٌ خَالٍ مِنَ الرُّؤْيَا، وَظَلامٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِرَافَةٍ، وَتَغْرُبُ الشَّمْسُ عَنِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَيُظْلِمُ عَلَيْهِمِ النَّهَارُ.٦
7 And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
يَعْتَرِي الرَّائِينَ الْخِزْيُ وَيَنْتَابُ الْعَرَّافِينَ الْخَجَلُ، وَيُغَطُّونَ جَمِيعُهُمْ شِفَاهَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَنَالُونَ جَوَاباً مِنَ الرَّبِّ.٧
8 And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
أَمَّا أَنَا، فَإِنِّي مُمْتَلِئٌ بِقُوَّةِ رُوحِ الرَّبِّ وَبِالْحَقِّ وَالْعِزَّةِ، لأُعْلِنَ لِنَسْلِ يَعْقُوبَ مَعَاصِيَهُ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ خَطِيئَتَهُ.٨
9 Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
اسْتَمِعُوا هَذَا يَا رُؤَسَاءَ بَيْتِ يَعْقُوبَ وَقُضَاةَ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ يَكْرَهُونَ الْعَدْلَ وَيُحَرِّفُونَ الْحَقَّ.٩
10 [who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
الَّذِينَ يَبْنُونَ صِهْيَوْنَ بِالدَّمِ وَأُورُشَلِيمَ بِالظُّلْمِ.١٠
11 Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
إِذْ يَحْكُمُ رُؤَسَاؤُهَا بِالرِّشْوَةِ، وَكَهَنَتُهَا يُعَلِّمُونَ بِالأُجْرَةِ وَيَتَعَاطَى أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا الْعِرَافَةَ لِقَاءَ الْمَالِ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ يَدَّعُونَ الاتِّكَالَ عَلَى اللهِ قَائِلِينَ: «أَلَيْسَ الرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِنَا؟ لِذَلِكَ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا مَكْرُوهٌ».١١
12 Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
لِهَذَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ سَتُحْرَثُ صِهْيَوْنُ كَالْحَقْلِ وَتُصْبِحُ أُورُشَلِيمُ كَوْمَةً مِنَ الْخَرَائِبِ، وَجَبَلُ الْهَيْكَلِ مُرْتَفَعاً تَنْمُو عَلَيْهِ أَشْجَارُ الْغَابِ.١٢
