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?
Y dije: Oíd ahora, príncipes de Jacob, y cabezas de la casa de Israel: ¿No pertenecía a vosotros saber el derecho?
2 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
Que aborrecen lo bueno, y aman lo malo: que les roban su cuero, y su carne de sobre sus huesos.
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.
Y que comen la carne de mi pueblo, y les desuellan su cuero de sobre ellos, y les quebrantan sus huesos, y los rompen como para echar en caldero, y como carnes en olla.
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.
Entonces clamarán a Jehová, y no les responderá: antes esconderá de ellos su rostro en aquel tiempo, como ellos hicieron malas obras.
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.
Así dijo Jehová de los profetas, que hacen errar mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, y claman paz; y al que no les diere que coman, aplazan contra él batalla.
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.
Por tanto de la profecía se os hará noche, y oscuridad del adivinar; y sobre estos profetas se pondrá el sol, y el día se entenebrecerá sobre ellos.
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.
Y avergonzarse han los profetas, y confundirse han los adivinos, y ellos todos cubrirán su labio; porque no tendrán respuesta de Dios.
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.
Yo empero soy lleno de fuerza del Espíritu de Jehová, y de juicio, y de fortaleza; para denunciar a Jacob su rebelión, y a Israel su pecado.
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.
Oíd ahora esto, cabezas de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel, que abomináis el juicio, y pervertís todo el derecho:
10 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
Que edificáis a Sión con sangre, y a Jerusalem con injusticia:
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.'
Sus cabezas juzgan por cohecho, y sus sacerdotes enseñan por precio, y sus profetas adivinan por dinero; y arrímanse a Jehová, diciendo: ¿No está Jehová entre nosotros? No vendrá mal sobre nosotros.
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!
Por tanto a causa de vosotros Sión será arada como campo, y Jerusalem será majanos, y el monte de la casa como cumbres de breña.
