Mika 3
1 Kisha nikasema, “Sikilizeni enyi viongozi wa Yakobo, enyi watawala wa nyumba ya Israeli. Je, hampaswi kujua hukumu,
and to say to hear: hear please head: leader Jacob and chief house: household Israel not to/for you to/for to know [obj] [the] justice
2 ninyi mnaochukia mema na kupenda maovu; ninyi mnaowachuna watu wangu ngozi na kuondoa nyama kwenye mifupa yao;
to hate good and to love: lover (bad: evil *Q(K)*) to plunder skin their from upon them and flesh their from upon bone their
3 ninyi mnaokula nyama ya watu wangu, mnaowachuna ngozi na kuvunja mifupa yao vipande vipande; mnaowakatakata kama nyama ya kuwekwa kwenye sufuria na kama nyama ya kuwekwa kwenye chungu?”
and which to eat flesh people my and skin their from upon them to strip and [obj] bone their to break out and to spread like/as as which in/on/with pot and like/as flesh in/on/with midst caldron
4 Kisha watamlilia Bwana, lakini hatawajibu. Wakati huo atawaficha uso wake kwa sababu ya uovu waliotenda.
then to cry out to(wards) LORD and not to answer [obj] them and to hide face his from them in/on/with time [the] he/she/it like/as as which be evil deed their
5 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kuhusu manabii wanaowapotosha watu wangu, mtu akiwalisha, wanatangaza ‘amani’; kama hakufanya hivyo, wanaandaa kupigana vita dhidi yake.
thus to say LORD upon [the] prophet [the] to go astray [obj] people my [the] to bite in/on/with tooth their and to call: call out peace and which not to give: give upon lip their and to consecrate: prepare upon him battle
6 Kwa hiyo usiku utawajieni, msiweze kuwa na maono, na giza, msiweze kubashiri. Jua litawachwea manabii hao, nao mchana utakuwa giza kwao.
to/for so night to/for you from vision and to darken to/for you from to divine and to come (in): (sun)set [the] sun upon [the] prophet and be dark upon them [the] day
7 Waonaji wataaibika na waaguzi watafedheheka. Wote watafunika nyuso zao kwa sababu hakuna jibu litokalo kwa Mungu.”
and be ashamed [the] seer and be ashamed [the] to divine and to enwrap upon mustache all their for nothing answer God
8 Lakini kuhusu mimi, nimejazwa nguvu, nimejazwa Roho wa Bwana, haki na uweza, kumtangazia Yakobo kosa lake, na Israeli dhambi yake.
and but I to fill strength [obj] spirit LORD and justice and might to/for to tell to/for Jacob transgression his and to/for Israel sin his
9 Sikieni hili, enyi viongozi wa nyumba ya Yakobo, enyi watawala wa nyumba ya Israeli, mnaodharau haki na kupotosha kila lililo sawa;
to hear: hear please this head: leader house: household Jacob and chief house: household Israel [the] to abhor justice and [obj] all [the] upright to twist
10 mnaojenga Sayuni kwa kumwaga damu na Yerusalemu kwa uovu.
to build Zion in/on/with blood and Jerusalem in/on/with injustice
11 Viongozi wake wanahukumu kwa rushwa, na makuhani wake wanafundisha kwa malipo, nao manabii wake wanatabiri kwa fedha. Hata hivyo wanamwegemea Bwana na kusema, “Je, Bwana si yumo miongoni mwetu? Hakuna maafa yatakayotupata.”
head: leader her in/on/with bribe to judge and priest her in/on/with price to show and prophet her in/on/with silver: money to divine and upon LORD to lean to/for to say not LORD in/on/with entrails: among our not to come (in): come upon us distress: harm
12 Kwa hiyo kwa sababu yenu, Sayuni italimwa kama shamba, Yerusalemu itakuwa lundo la kokoto, na kilima cha Hekalu kitakuwa kichuguu kilichofunikwa na vichaka.
to/for so in/on/with because of you Zion land: country to plow/plot and Jerusalem ruin to be and mountain: mount [the] house: home to/for high place wood
