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?
Then said I, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel, —Is it not yours to know justice?
2 Ustedes, que aborrecen el bien y aman el mal, que les arrancan la piel y la carne de sus huesos,
Ye haters of right, and lovers of wrong, —tearing away their skin from off them, and their flesh from 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.
Who indeed have eaten the flesh of my people, and, their skin from off them, have stript, and, their bones, have they broken in pieces, —and will spread them out, as flesh with a fork, and as flesh, in the midst of a pot.
4 Entonces claman a Yavé, pero Él no responderá. Esconderá su rostro en ese tiempo, porque hicieron obras perversas.
Then, shall they make outcry unto Yahweh, but he will not answer them, —that he may hide his face from them, at that time, even as they have made wicked their doings.
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, saith Yahweh, concerning the prophets who are leading astray my people, —who bite with their teeth, and then cry—Prosper! and whoso holdeth not to their mouth, they hallow against him a war!
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, shall it be night to you, for lack of vision, and darkness to you, for lack of divination, —and the sun, shall go in, over the prophets, and the day, shall be overcast because of them;
7 Los videntes serán avergonzados, los adivinos confundidos. Todos ellos tendrán su boca cerrada porque no hay respuesta de ʼElohim.
And the men of vision, shall turn pale, and the diviners, shall blush, and shall put a covering upon their lip, all of them, —because there is no answer of God.
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.
But, in very deed, I, am full of vigour, with the spirit of Yahweh, and of justice and of valour, —to declare to Jacob, his transgression, and to Israel, his sin.
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 this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel, —who abhor justice, and, all right, do pervert:
10 que edifican a Sion con sangre derramada y a Jerusalén con iniquidad:
Building Zion, with deeds of blood, —and Jerusalem, with perversity.
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!
Her heads, for a bribe, pronounce sentence, and, her priests, for a price, give direction, and, her prophets, for silver, divine, —yet, on Yahweh, they lean, saying, Is not, Yahweh, in our midst? there shall not come upon us, calamity.
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.
Wherefore, for your sake, Zion, as a field, shall be ploughed, and, Jerusalem, unto heaps of ruins, shall be turned, —and, the mountain of the house, shall [be] like mounds in a jungle.
