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.
Afei mekae se, “Muntie, mo Yakob akannifo, mo a mudi Israelfi so. Ɛsɛ sɛ muhu nea ɛyɛ atɛntrenee,
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.
Mo a mukyi nea eye na modɔ bɔne moworɔw me nkurɔfo were na motetew nam no fi wɔn nnompe ho;
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.
mowe me nkurɔfo nam, mowae wɔn were, bubu wɔn nnompe mu nketenkete; mutwitwa wɔn sɛ nam a mode regu kutu mu.”
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.
Afei wobesu afrɛ Awurade, nanso ɔrennye wɔn so. Saa bere no ɔde nʼanim besie wɔn, bɔne a wɔayɛ nti.
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.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Adiyifo a wɔdaadaa me nkurɔfo no de, obi ma wɔn biribi di a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoe nsɛm, na sɛ wɔamma wɔn biribi anni a, adiyifo no siesie wɔn ho sɛ wobetu wɔn so sa.
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.
Enti ade bɛsa mo a morennya adaeso, sum beduru mo a morennya ahintasɛm biara. Owia bɛtɔ ama adiyifo no, na adekyee bɛdan sum ama wɔn.
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.
Adehufo ani bewu na wobegu asamanfrɛfo anim ase. Wɔn nyinaa bɛkatakata wɔn anim, efisɛ mmuae biara mfi Onyankopɔn hɔ mma.”
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.
Nanso me de, tumi ahyɛ me ma, Awurade Honhom ahyɛ me ma trenee ne ahoɔden a mede bɛpae mu aka Yakob amumɔyɛ ne Israel bɔne.
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.
Muntie, mo Yakobfi akannifo, mo a mudi Israel so, a mukyi atɛntrenee na mokyea nea ɛteɛ nyinaa;
10 [who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
Mo a mode mogyahwiegu kyekyeree Sion ne awurukasɛm kyekyeree Yerusalem.
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.
Nʼakannifo no gye adanmude ansa na wobu atɛn, nʼasɔfo gye sika ansa na wɔakyerɛkyerɛ, nʼadiyifo de nkɔmhyɛ ayɛ sikapɛ. Nanso wɔdan Awurade, na wɔka se, “Awurade nni yɛn ntam ana? Ɔhaw biara remma yɛn so.”
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.
Na mo nti, wobefuntum Sion te sɛ afuw, Yerusalem bɛyɛ nnwiriwii siw, na asɔredan no pampa bɛyɛ nkɔmoa so nkyɛkyerɛ.
