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],
Entonces dije: “Por favor, escuchen, líderes de los descendientes de Jacob, pueblo de Israel. Ustedes deben saber la diferencia entre el bien y el mal,
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.
¡pero ustedes aborrecen el bien y aman el mal! Ustedes arrancan la piel de mi pueblo, y dejan sus huesos al desnudo.
3 [It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
Comen la carne de mi pueblo, le arrancan la piel y quiebran sus huesos. Cortan su carne en pedazos como carne que se echa a un caldero, como carne que se echa a una olla para cocinar”.
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.”
Entonces ellos clamarán al Señor, pero él no les responderá. Se ocultará de ellos en ese momento, por el mal que han hecho.
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.
Esto es lo que el Señor dice dobre los profetas que engañan a mi pueblo. Ellos profetizan paz a quienes los alimentan, y profetizan guerra contra quienes no lo hacen.
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.
Por lo tanto será como la noche para ustedes, y no habrá visiones. Será oscuro, y no habrá predicciones. El sol se oscurecerá para esos profetas, y su día terminará en oscuridad.
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.”
Los videntes serán desgraciados, los adivinos serán avergonzados, y cubrirán su rostro porque ninguno recibirá respuesta de Dios.
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].
Pero en cuanto a mi, he sido lleno de poder, con el Espíritu del Señor. Estoy lleno de justiciar y fuerza para traer a la luz la rebelión de los descendientes de Jacob, y el pecado del pueblo de 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].
Escúchenme, líderes de los descendientes de Jacob y pueblo de Israel, que aborrecen la justicia y falsifican lo recto.
10 [It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
Ustedes están construyendo a Sión con sangre y a Jerusalén con maldad.
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.”
Sus líderes juzgan por soborno y sus sacerdotes predican según el precio pagado. Aún así se apoyan en el Señor y dicen: “¿Acaso no está el Señor aquí con nosotros? ¡Nada malo puede sucedernos!”
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.
Por lo tanto, por causa de ustedes Sión será como un campo arado, y Jerusalén como una montaña de escombros, y el monte en el Templo quedará recubierto de maleza.
