Miqueas 3
1 Y dije: Les ruego que escuchen ahora, jefes de Jacob y gobernantes de la Casa de Israel: ¿No corresponde a ustedes conocer justicia?
And he shall say, Hear now these words, you heads of the house of Jacob, and you remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgement?
2 Ustedes, que aborrecen el bien y aman el mal, que les arrancan la piel y la carne de sus huesos,
[who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
3 que comen la carne de mi pueblo, desollan su piel, les quiebran sus huesos y los cortan como carne para el caldero y para la olla.
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 cauldron, and as meat for the pot,
4 Entonces claman a Yavé, pero Él no responderá. Esconderá su rostro en ese tiempo, porque hicieron obras perversas.
thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not listen 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 Yavé dice esto a los profetas que extravían a mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, proclaman paz y al que nada pone en sus bocas le declaran guerra santa.
Thus says 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 Por tanto, una noche sin brujería caerá sobre los profetas, y el día será oscuro para ellos. El sol se ocultará para el profeta, y el día será oscuro sobre ellos.
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 Los videntes serán avergonzados, los adivinos confundidos. Todos ellos tendrán su boca cerrada porque no hay respuesta de ʼElohim.
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 listen to them.
8 Pero yo estoy lleno de poder del Espíritu de Yavé, de justicia y de valor, para declarar a Jacob su rebelión y a Israel su pecado.
Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgement, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
9 Escúchenme esto, jefes de la casa de Jacob, gobernantes de la Casa de Israel, ustedes quienes aborrecen la justicia y pervierten todo lo que es equidad,
Hear now these words, you chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgement, and pervert all righteousness;
10 que edifican a Sion con sangre derramada y a Jerusalén con iniquidad:
who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Sus magistrados juzgan por soborno, sus sacerdotes enseñan por la paga, sus profetas adivinan por dinero, se apoyan en Yavé y dicen: ¿No está Yavé en medio de nosotros? ¡No vendrá mal sobre nosotros!
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 amongst us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Por tanto, por causa de ustedes, Sion será arada como un campo, Jerusalén será una pila de ruinas, y la Montaña del Templo como colinas de escaso bosque.
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.
