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],
Y dije: Les ruego que escuchen ahora, jefes de Jacob y gobernantes de la Casa de Israel: ¿No corresponde a ustedes conocer justicia?
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.
Ustedes, que aborrecen el bien y aman el mal, que les arrancan la piel y la carne de sus huesos,
3 [It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
que comen la carne de mi pueblo, desollan su piel, les quiebran sus huesos y los cortan como carne para el caldero y para la olla.
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 claman a Yavé, pero Él no responderá. Esconderá su rostro en ese tiempo, porque hicieron obras perversas.
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.
Yavé dice esto a los profetas que extravían a mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, proclaman paz y al que nada pone en sus bocas le declaran guerra santa.
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 tanto, una noche sin brujería caerá sobre los profetas, y el día será oscuro para ellos. El sol se ocultará para el profeta, y el día será oscuro sobre ellos.
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 avergonzados, los adivinos confundidos. Todos ellos tendrán su boca cerrada porque no hay respuesta de ʼElohim.
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 yo estoy lleno de poder del Espíritu de Yavé, de justicia y de valor, para declarar a Jacob su rebelión y a Israel su pecado.
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 esto, jefes de la casa de Jacob, gobernantes de la Casa de Israel, ustedes quienes aborrecen la justicia y pervierten todo lo que es equidad,
10 [It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
que edifican a Sion con sangre derramada y a Jerusalén con iniquidad:
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 magistrados juzgan por soborno, sus sacerdotes enseñan por la paga, sus profetas adivinan por dinero, se apoyan en Yavé y dicen: ¿No está Yavé en medio de nosotros? ¡No vendrá mal sobre nosotros!
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 tanto, por causa de ustedes, Sion será arada como un campo, Jerusalén será una pila de ruinas, y la Montaña del Templo como colinas de escaso bosque.
