< Mika 3 >

1 Sa’an nan na ce, “Ku kasa kunne, ku shugabannin Yaƙub, ku masu mulkin gidan Isra’ila. Ya kamata ku san shari’a,
And he shall say, Hear now these words, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
2 ku da kuke ƙin abu mai kyau kuke ƙaunar mugunta, ku da kuke feɗe mutanena kuke tuge nama daga ƙasusuwansu;
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
3 ku da kuke cin naman mutanena, ku feɗe fatar jikinsu kuke kakkarya ƙasusuwansu, kuke yayyanka su gunduwa-gunduwa kamar naman da za a toya, kamar naman da za a sa a dafa.”
even as they devoured the flesh of my people, and stripped their skins off them, and broke their bones, and divided [them] as flesh for the caldron, and as meat for the pot,
4 Sa’an nan za su kira ga Ubangiji, amma ba zai amsa musu ba. A wannan lokaci zai ɓoye fuskarsa daga gare su saboda irin muguntar da suka yi.
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not hearken to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
5 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa, “Game da annabawa masu ɓad da mutanena, in wani ya ciyar da su, sai su ce akwai ‘salama’ amma in bai ciyar da su ba, a shirye suke su kai masa hari.
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that lead my people astray, that bit with their teeth, and proclaim peace to them; and [when] nothing was put into their mouth, they raised up war against them:
6 Saboda haka dare yana zuwa a bisanku, ba tare da wahayi ba, kuma duhu, ba tare da duba ba. Rana za tă fāɗi wa annabawa, yini kuma zai zama musu duhu.
therefore there shall be night to you instead of a vision, and there shall be to you darkness instead of prophecy; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be dark upon them.
7 Masu gani za su ji kunya, masu duba kuma za su ji taƙaici. Dukansu za su rufe fuskokinsu gama ba amsa daga Allah.”
And the seers of night-visions shall be ashamed, and the prophets shall be laughed to scorn: and all the people shall speak against them, because there shall be none to hearken to them.
8 Amma game da ni, ina cike da iko ta wurin Ruhun Ubangiji da kuma adalci da ƙarfi, don a sanar da Yaƙub laifofinsa, ga Isra’ila kuma zunubinsa.
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
9 Ku ji wannan, ku shugabannin gidan Yaƙub, ku masu mulkin gidan Isra’ila, ku da kuke ƙyamar gaskiya, kuka karkatar duk abin da yake na gaskiya;
Hear now these words, ye chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
10 kuka gina Sihiyona ta wurin zub da jini, Urushalima kuma ta wurin mugunta.
who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Hukunce-hukuncen shugabannin ƙasar na cin hanci ne, firistocinta kuma suna koyarwa don a biya su, annabawanta kuwa suna yin annabci don neman kuɗi. Duk da haka suna jingina a kan Ubangiji suna cewa, “Ba Ubangiji yana tare da mu ba? Ba bala’in da zai zo mana.”
The heads thereof have judged for gifts, and the priests thereof have answered for hire, and her prophets have divined for silver: and [yet] they have rested on the Lord, saying, Is not the Lord among us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Don haka, saboda ku, za a nome Sihiyona kamar gona, Urushalima kuma ta zama tarin juji, tudun haikali kuwa zai zama kurmin ƙayayyuwa.
Therefore on your account Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a storehouse of fruits, and the mountain of the house as a grove of the forest.
