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],
Kinunak, “Ita, dumngegkayo, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti Jacob ken agturturay iti balay ni Israel: Saan kadi a rumbeng a maawatanyo ti hustisia?
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.
Dakayo a manggurgura iti naimbag ken mangay-ayat iti dakes, dakayo a manglaplaplap iti kudilda, iti lasagda manipud kadagiti tulangda-
3 [It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
dakayo met a mangkakaan iti lasag dagiti tattaok, ken manglaplapgis iti kudilda, mangtuktukkol kadagiti tulangda ken mangtadtadtad kadakuada, a kasla karne nga iluto iti banga, a kasla karne iti kaldero.
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.”
Ket dakayo a mangiturturay, umawagkayonto kenni Yahweh, ngem saanakayonto a sungbatan. Iti dayta a tiempo, saannakayonto a denggen, gapu ta naka-aramidkayo iti dakes.”
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.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan kadagiti profeta a mangiyaw-awan kadagiti tattaok: “Ipablaakda kadagiti mangpakpakan kadakuada, ‘Addanto iti kinarang-ay.' Ngem para kadagiti awan ti maipakanna kadakuada, mangirugida iti gubat a maibusor kenkuana.
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.
Ngarud, agbalinto daytoy a rabii kadakayo ket awanton ti masirmatayo; sumipngetto daytoy tapno awanto ti maipadtoyo. Lumnekton ti init kadagiti profeta, ket sumipngetto ti aldaw kadakuada.
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.”
Maibabainto dagiti mammadles, ken mariribukanto dagiti mammadto. Apputendanto amin dagiti bibigda, ta saankonto ida a sungbatan.”
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].
Ngem no maipapan kaniak, napnoanak iti pannakabalin babaen iti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ken napnoanak iti hustisia ken bileg, a mangibutaktak iti panagsalungasing ni Jacob ken iti basol ni Israel.
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].
Ita, denggenyo daytoy, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti balay ni Jacob, ken agturturay iti balay ni Israel, dakayo a mangurgura iti hustisia, ken mangkilkillo iti amin a nalinteg.
10 [It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
Ipatakderyo ti Sion babaen iti panagpasayasay iti dara ken ti Jerusalem babaen iti kinadakes.
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.”
Mangukom dagiti mangidadauloyo gapu iti pasuksok, mangisuro dagiti padiyo gapu iti gunggona, ken agipadto dagiti profetayo gapu iti kuarta. Ngem agsadagkayo latta kenni Yahweh ket kunayo, “Saan kadi nga adda kadatayo ni Yahweh? Awanto ti dakes nga umay kadatayo.”
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.
Ngarud, gapu kadakayo, maaradonto ti Sion a kas iti maysa a talon, agbalinto ti Jerusalem a gabsuon iti nagrebbaan, ken agbalinto ti turod iti templo a kasla kabakiran a turod.
