Miqueas 3
1 He dicho, “Por favor, escuchen, cabezas de Jacob, y gobernantes de la casa de Israel: ¿No te corresponde conocer la justicia?
Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
2 Tú que odias el bien, y amar el mal; que se arrancan la piel, y su carne de sus huesos;
but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from their bones.
3 que también comen la carne de mi pueblo, y pelar su piel de ellos, y romper sus huesos, y picarlas en trozos, como para la olla, y como carne dentro del caldero.
[It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
4 Entonces clamarán a Yahvé, pero no les contestará. Sí, en ese momento ocultará su rostro, porque hicieron sus obras malas”.
Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
5 Dice el Señor acerca de los profetas que extravían a mi pueblo: a quien alimenta sus dientes, le proclaman: “¡Paz!”, y a quien no se alimenta la boca, le preparan la guerra:
This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
6 “Por tanto, la noche está sobre vosotros, sin visión, y es oscuro para ti, para que no puedas adivinar; y el sol se pondrá sobre los profetas, y el día será negro sobre ellos.
So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
7 Los videntes serán decepcionados, y los adivinos confundidos. Sí, todos se cubrirán los labios, porque no hay respuesta de Dios”.
[Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
8 En cuanto a mí, estoy lleno de poder por el Espíritu de Yahvé, y de juicio, y de poder, para declarar a Jacob su desobediencia, y a Israel su pecado.
But as for me, I am full of [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
9 Escuchad esto, jefes de la casa de Jacob, y gobernantes de la casa de Israel, que aborrecen la justicia, y pervertir toda la equidad,
You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
10 que construyen Sión con sangre, y Jerusalén con la iniquidad.
[It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
11 Sus dirigentes juzgan por sobornos, y sus sacerdotes enseñan por un precio, y sus profetas de ella dicen fortunas por dinero; pero se apoyan en Yahvé, y dicen, “¿No está Yahvé entre nosotros? No nos caerá ningún desastre”.
Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
12 Por lo tanto, Sión por tu causa será arada como un campo, y Jerusalén se convertirá en un montón de escombros, y la montaña del templo como los lugares altos de un bosque.
Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
