< Maika 3 >

1 Hanki nagra ama nanekema huana, Israeli nagatema ugotama hu'naza kva vahe'mota antahiho, e'i zana fatgo zanki havi zanki huta ko keta antahita hu'naze.
Then I said, “Please listen, leaders of the descendants of Jacob, people of Israel. You are meant to know the difference between right and wrong,
2 Hianagi tamagra knare avu'ava zankura tamavesra nehuta, kefo avu'ava zama hu'zankuke tamave'nesie. Nagri vahe'mo'za ofri kasefa mani'nazageta zamavufaga eri tragatragu nehuta, zaferina zamiretira ame'a zamia eri hazori netraze.
you who hate good and love evil! You tear off their skin, and rip the flesh from their bones.
3 Tamagra Nagri veamokizmi zamufga neneta, maka zamavufaga hakaneta eri vaga neraze. Ana nehuta zaferina zamia rufu netagita, afu me'ama osi kavofine ran kavofinema krenaku'ma tagahu osi'osi'ma hazaza nehaze.
You eat the flesh of my people, you strip off their skin, you break their bones. You chop them up like meat for the saucepan, like flesh for the cooking pot.”
4 Ana nehuta kna zamo'ma tamagrite'ma ne-egeta Ra Anumzamo'ma tamaza hanigura zavi krafa nehazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a eme tamaza osugahie. Na'ankure tamagra rama'a havi avu'avaza hu'nazankino avugosa, rukarahe nehuno ontamagegahie.
Then they'll cry out to the Lord, but he won't answer them. He will turn away from them at that time because of the evil things they have done.
5 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie. Tamagra havige kasnampa kema nehaza vahe'mota, Nagri vahera zamavareta havi kante nevaze. Ana nehutma ne'zama tamamiza vahera fruge hunezmantaze. Hianagi ne'zama ontamamiza vahera, agafa hutma koro kea ha' vahe'mo'za tamazeri haviza hugahaze huta hunezmantaze.
This is what the Lord says about the prophets who deceive my people. To those who feed them they prophesy peace to them, while to those who do not they prophesy war against them.
6 E'ina hu'negu tamagritera hanizamo eme refitesigeta hanimpi mani'neta mago'enena ava'nagna zana onketfa hugahaze. Ana hanigetma henkama fore'ma hania zankura mago'enena huamara osugahaze. Ana kasnampa kema nehaza vahe'mota masare manigahazanagi hanimpima maniaza huta manigahaze.
Therefore it will be like night for you, with no visions; dark, with no predictions. The sun will set on these prophets; their day will end in darkness.
7 Ana'ma hanigetma henkama fore'ma hania zanku'ma havige kasnampa kema nehaza vahe'mota tusi tamagazegu nehuta kepri hugahaze. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a naneke tamirera kenona huoramigahie.
The seers will be disgraced, the fortune-tellers put to shame, and they will cover their faces because none of them receive any answer from God.
8 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo Avamumo'a nagripi emani viteno hankavea nenamie. Ana nehuno fatgo avu'ava zane fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'avazanena naza hige'na kena antahina nehue. Ana nehuno nazeri hankanavetige'na Israeli vahe'motama keontahi avu'ava zama nehaza zanku'ene kumi tamigura, korora osu'na huama nehue.
But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to make clear to the descendants of Jacob their rebellion, and to the people of Israel their sin.
9 Israeli vahe'mokizmi kva vahe'mota tamagesa ante'neta ama nanekea antahiho. Fatgoma huno refko'ma hu avu'ava zankura tamavesra nehutma, fatgo avu'ava zana netretma akrahe karahe avu'avaza nehaza vahe mani'naze.
Listen to me, leaders of the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel, you who hate justice and distort all that is right.
10 Hagi Jerusalemi kuma'ma eri agafama huta kinte'nazana, vahe'ma ahe fri avu'ava zamo'ene havi avu'ava zamo avite'nea agofetu kinte'naze.
You are building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil.
11 Tamagra kva vahe'mota keagama refko'ma hazana, masavema hu'za ramiza zago e'nerita, keaga refkoa nehaze. Tamagra pristi vahe'motane kasnampa vahe'motanena zagoma eritetage kasnampa nanekea nehuta vahera rempia hunezmize. Ana nehutma makamota huta Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane magoka mani'neankino hazenke zamo'a tagritera omegahie huta nehaze.
Your leaders judge for a bribe, and your priests teach for a price, and your prophets only prophesy for pay. Yet they all lean on the Lord saying, “Isn't the Lord here with us? Nothing bad can happen to us!”
12 E'ina hu'negu kva vahe'motane, pristi vahe'motane kasnampa vahe'motanema hu'naza avu'ava zamofo hazenkea Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi kumamofo agofetu anteno kumara eri haviza hanigeno, fragu vaziramino kugusopamo'ma hiaza huno hihi huno marerigahie. Ana hanigeno Saioni agonafima menima Anumzamofo mono noma me'nea agonafina, zafa tanopamo hageno refitegahie.
Therefore because of you Zion will become a ploughed field and Jerusalem a heap of rubble, and the Temple mount will be overgrown.
