Mika 3
1 Ary hoy izaho: Masìna ianareo, mihainoa, ry loholon’ i Jakoba, Sy ianareo mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely: Tsy anjara-raharahanareo va ny hahalala ny rariny?
And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
2 Dia ianareo izay mankahala ny tsara ka tia ny ratsy, Izay manendaka ny hoditry ny olona Sy ny nofony amin’ ny taolany,
You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
3 Eny, ianareo izay homana ny nofon’ ny oloko koa Sady manendaka ny hodiny Ary mamakivaky ny taolany; Eny, mitetika azy toy ny hatao am-bilany izy, Ary toy ny hena ao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena.
Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
4 Amin’ izany dia hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah izy, Nefa tsy hohenoiny; Hanafina ny tavany aminy amin’ izany andro izany Izy Araka ny faharatsian’ ny nataon’ ireo.
Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpaminany izay mampaniasia ny oloko, dia ireo izay manaikitra amin’ ny nifiny, nefa mitory fiadanana, ary izay tsy manisy hanina eo am-bavany kosa dia iantsoany hanaovana ady masìna:
Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
6 Koa izany no hisian’ ny alina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fahitana, Ary ny maizina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fankatovana; Fa hilentika tsy hanazava ny mpaminany ny masoandro, Ary ho maizina aminy ny andro,
Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.
7 Dia ho menatra ny mpahita, Ary hangaihay ny mpanao fankatovana; Eny, hitampim-bava avokoa izy rehetra, Satria tsy misy valiny avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God.
8 Fa izaho kosa dia feno hery, dia ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, Mbamin’ ny rariny sy ny faherezana, Mba hanambara amin’ i Jakoba ny helony Sy amin’ Isiraely ny fahotany.
But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin.
9 Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izao, Ry loholon’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Sy ry mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely, Dia ianareo izay manao ny rariny ho fahavetavetana Sy mamadika ny hitsiny rehetra,
Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right.
10 Dia izay manangana an’ i Ziona amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin’ ny faharatsiana.
You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Ny mpifehiny mitsara hahazoany kolikoly, Ary ny mpisorony mampianatra hahazoany karama, Ary ny mpaminany manao fankatovana hahazoany vola; Nefa Jehovah mbola iankinany ihany hoe: Tsy ato amintsika va Jehovah? Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika.
Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Koa dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly Ziona noho ny nataonareo, Ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, Ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.
Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
