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, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel: [Is it] not for you 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,
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off 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 also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
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, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
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 cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even 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, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark to you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark 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.
Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yes, they shall all cover their lips; for [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 truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, 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, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 Dia izay manangana an’ i Ziona amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin’ ny faharatsiana.
They build up Zion 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 heads judge for reward, and her priests teach for hire, and her prophets divine for money; yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? no evil can 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 shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
