< Micah 3 >

1 Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
Dilia! Isala: ili ouligisu dunu! Nabima! Dilia da moloidafa hou noga: le ouligimu galu!
2 but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from their bones.
Be dilia da noga: idafa hou higale, wadela: i hou hanasa. Dilia da na fi dunu amo esasulumuna: wane gadofo houga: le, hu gaga: ne fasisa.
3 [It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
Dilia da na fi na dagosa! Dilia da ilia gadofo houga: le, ilia gasa fifili, amola ilia da: i hodo hu gobele nasu defele hedesisa.
4 Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
Esoha da mana, amo doaga: sea, dilia da Hina Godema dini imunu. Be Eda dilima dabe hame adole imunu. Dilia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, E da dilia sia: ne gadobe hame nabimu.
5 This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
Balofede dunu ilia Na fi dunuma ogogole olelesa. Amo balofede dunu da nowa ilima bidi iasea, ilima hahawane olofosu ilegele ba: la la. Be nowa da ilima bidi hame iasea, ilima wadela: i gegesu fawane ilegele ba: la la. Hina Gode da amo balofede dunuma amane sia: sa.
6 So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
“Balofede dunu dilia! Dilia eso da dagomu gadenesa! Dilia eso da wali dagomu galebe. Dilia da bu ba: lalumu da hamedei ba: mu. Bai dilia da Na fi dunuma ogogoi. Amola dilia da fa: no misunu liligi da hame ba: lalumu.
7 [Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
Amo fa: no misunu hou ba: la: lusu dunu ilia da fa: no misunu hou hame ba: beba: le, gogosiamu. Gode da ilima dabe hame adole imunuba: le, ilia da dunu mimogoa gogosiasu ba: mu.
8 But as for me, I am full of [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
Be nama da Hina Gode da Ea gasa bagade A: silibuga nama nabalesisa. E da nama moloidafa asigi dawa: su amola dogo denesini dawa: su iaha. Amaiba: le, na da Isala: ili dunu ilima ilia wadela: i hou diliwaneya udidimusa: dawa:
9 You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
Isala: ili ouligisu hina dunu, dilia! Na sia: nabima! Dilia da moloidafa hou higabeba: le, wadela: i hou fawane hamomusa: bagade hanasa.
10 [It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
Fedege agoane, dilia Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade gagusia, fane legesu amola moloi hou hame amoga bai fa: le gagusa.
11 Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
Moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu ilia da hano suligisu hawa: fawane hamosa. Gobele salasu dunu da bidi lamusa: fawane Sema olelesa. Balofede dunu ilia da bidi lamusa: fawane, fa: no misunu hou olelesa. Be ilia huluane da Hina Gode da ilima esala amane sia: sa. Ilia da amane sia: sa, “Hina Gode da ninima esalebeba: le, ninima se nabasu da hame doaga: mu!”
12 Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
Amaiba: le, dilia da bai hamobeba: le, Saione moilai bai bagade da osobo gidinasuga dogoi agoai ba: mu. Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da mugululi lelegela heda: i dialebe ba: mu. Amola Debolo agolo da iwila hamoi dagoi ba: mu.
