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?
Kowos mwet kol lun Israel, porongeyu! Pwayeiya uh kowos pa ac arulana nunku ac suk ma suwohs,
2 You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, their flesh from their bones—
a kowos tuh srunga ma wo ac lungse ma koluk. Kowos sukela kulun mwet luk ke elos moul na, ac takusla ikwalos liki srelos.
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.
Kowos kangla mwet luk. Kowos kolosla kolo kaclos, koteya srelos, ac pakpukiya manolos oana ikwa ma ac manman in sie tup.
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.”
Pacl se ac tuku ke kowos fah wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD, tuh El ac fah tia topuk kowos. El ac fah tia lohng pre lowos, mweyen kowos oru ma na koluk.
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.
Mwet luk uh kiapweyukla sin mwet palu su wuleang nu sin mwet ma moli nu selos mu ac oasr misla, ac elos aksangengye mwet ma tia moli nu selos mu ac oasr mweun. A LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet palu ingan,
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.
“Mwet palu, len lowos apkuran in safla. Faht uh ac tili fowos. Mweyen kowos kiapwela mwet luk, ac fah tia sifilpa oasr ku lowos in liye aruruma, ac kowos ac fah tia sifilpa ku in palye kutena ma.”
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.”
Elos su palye pacl fahsru ac fah akmwekinyeyuk ke sripen palu lalos tia pwaye. Elos ac fah mwekinla mweyen God El tia topkolos.
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.
A funu nga, LEUM GOD El nwekyula ke ngun ac ku lal, ac ase nu sik in kalem ke nununku suwohs, ac pulaik in fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah mea ma koluk lalos.
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.
Porongeyu, kowos mwet kol lun Israel, kowos su srunga nununku suwohs ac furokla ma pwaye nu ke ma sutuu.
10 You build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Kowos musai Jerusalem, siti lun God, fin pwelung in akmas ac nununku sesuwos.
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.”
Mwet leum lun acn uh oru nununku lalos wiwi lupan mol nu selos, ac mwet tol elos lungas Ma Sap in eis mwe moul kac, ac mwet palu oru fahkak lalos in mol nu selos. A elos inge nukewa fahk mu LEUM GOD El welulos. Elos fahk, “Wangin mwe sensen fah sun kut. LEUM GOD El wi kut.”
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.
Na pa ke sripowos, Zion ac fah pukpukyak oana sie acn in ima, ac Jerusalem ac fah oana sie yol in ma kulawi, ac fin tohktok se ma Tempul oan we ac fah ekla sie insak.
