Micah 3
1 I said, “Now listen, you leaders of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not right for you to understand justice?
Ndipo ine ndinati, “Tamverani, inu atsogoleri a Yakobo, inu olamulira nyumba ya Israeli. Kodi sindinu oyenera kudziwa kuweruza molungama,
2 You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, their flesh from their bones—
inu amene mumadana ndi zabwino ndi kukonda zoyipa; inu amene mumasenda khungu la anthu anga, ndipo mumakungunula mnofu pa mafupa awo;
3 you who also eat the flesh of my people, and tear their skin off, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, just like meat for a pot, just like meat in a cauldron.
inu amene mumadya anthu anga, mumasenda khungu lawo ndi kuphwanya mafupa awo; inu amene mumawadula nthulinthuli ngati nyama yokaphika?”
4 Then you rulers will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time, because you have done evil deeds.”
Pamenepo adzalira kwa Yehova, koma Iye sadzawayankha. Nthawi imeneyo Iye adzawabisira nkhope yake chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene anazichita.
5 Yahweh says this, “As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one gives them something to eat, they proclaim, 'Peace.' But if he puts nothing in their mouths, they dedicate themselves to wage war on him.
Yehova akuti, “Aneneri amene amasocheretsa anthu anga, ngati munthu wina awapatsa chakudya amamufunira ‘mtendere;’ ngati munthu wina sawapatsa zakudya amamulosera zoyipa.
6 Therefore, it will be night for you with no vision for you; it will be dark so that you will do no divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be dark on them.
Nʼchifukwa chake kudzakuderani, simudzaonanso masomphenya, mdima udzakugwerani ndipo simudzawombezanso. Dzuwa lidzawalowera aneneriwo, ndipo mdima udzawagwera.
7 The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no answer from me.”
Alosi adzachita manyazi ndipo owombeza mawula adzanyazitsidwa. Onse adzaphimba nkhope zawo chifukwa Mulungu sakuwayankha.”
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and am full of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Koma kunena za ine, ndadzazidwa ndi mphamvu, ndi Mzimu wa Yehova, ndi kulungama, ndi kulimba mtima, kuti ndilalikire za kugalukira kwa Yakobo, kwa Israeli za tchimo lake.
9 Now listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who detest justice, and pervert everything right.
Imvani izi, inu atsogoleri a nyumba ya Yakobo, inu olamulira nyumba ya Israeli, inu amene mumadana ndi kuweruza kolungama; ndipo mumakhotetsa zinthu zonse zolondola;
10 You build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
inu amene mukumanga Ziyoni pokhetsa magazi, ndi Yerusalemu ndi kuyipa kwanu.
11 Your leaders judge for a bribe, your priests teach for a price, and your prophets do divination for money. Yet you rely on Yahweh and say, “Is not Yahweh with us? No evil will come on us.”
Atsogoleri ake amalandira chiphuphu kuti aweruze, ansembe ake amalandira malipiro kuti alalikire, ndipo aneneri ake amanenera kuti alandire ndalama. Komatu amatsamira pa Yehova nʼkumanena kuti, “Kodi Yehova sali pakati pathu? Palibe tsoka limene lidzatigwere.”
12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.
Choncho chifukwa cha inu, Ziyoni adzatipulidwa ngati munda, Yerusalemu adzasanduka bwinja, ndipo phiri la Nyumba ya Mulungu lidzasanduka nkhalango yowirira.
