< Micah 3 >
1 And I say, 'Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
Kinunak, “Ita, dumngegkayo, dakayo a mangidadaulo iti Jacob ken agturturay iti balay ni Israel: Saan kadi a rumbeng a maawatanyo ti hustisia?
2 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
Dakayo a manggurgura iti naimbag ken mangay-ayat iti dakes, dakayo a manglaplaplap iti kudilda, iti lasagda manipud kadagiti tulangda-
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.
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 do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
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 Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried 'Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have sanctified against him war.
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 Therefore a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the prophets, And black over them hath been the day.
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 And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their is no answer, O God.
Maibabainto dagiti mammadles, ken mariribukanto dagiti mammadto. Apputendanto amin dagiti bibigda, ta saankonto ida a sungbatan.”
8 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
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 Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.
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 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
Ipatakderyo ti Sion babaen iti panagpasayasay iti dara ken ti Jerusalem babaen iti kinadakes.
11 Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they lean, saying, 'Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come in upon us.'
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 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is ploughed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
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.
