< Mika 3 >
1 Afei mekae se, “Muntie, mo Yakob akannifo, mo a mudi Israelfi so. Ɛsɛ sɛ muhu nea ɛyɛ atɛntrenee,
And Y seide, Ye princis of Jacob, and duykis of the hous of Israel, here. Whether it be not youre for to knowe doom, whiche haten good,
2 Mo a mukyi nea eye na modɔ bɔne moworɔw me nkurɔfo were na motetew nam no fi wɔn nnompe ho;
and louen yuele? Whiche violentli taken awei the skynnes of hem fro aboue hem, and the fleisch of hem fro aboue the bonys of hem.
3 mowe me nkurɔfo nam, mowae wɔn were, bubu wɔn nnompe mu nketenkete; mutwitwa wɔn sɛ nam a mode regu kutu mu.”
Whiche eeten the fleisch of my puple, and hiliden the skyn of hem fro aboue; and broken togidere the boonys of hem, and kittiden togidere as in a cawdroun, and as fleisch in the myddil of a pot.
4 Afei wobesu afrɛ Awurade, nanso ɔrennye wɔn so. Saa bere no ɔde nʼanim besie wɔn, bɔne a wɔayɛ nti.
Thanne thei schulen crie to the Lord, and he schal not here hem; and he schal hide hise face fro hem in that tyme, as thei diden wickidli in her fyndingis.
5 Nea Awurade se ni: “Adiyifo a wɔdaadaa me nkurɔfo no de, obi ma wɔn biribi di a wɔpae mu ka asomdwoe nsɛm, na sɛ wɔamma wɔn biribi anni a, adiyifo no siesie wɔn ho sɛ wobetu wɔn so sa.
The Lord God seith these thingis on the profetis that disseyuen my puple, and biten with her teeth, and prechen pees; and if ony man yyueth not in the mouth of hem ony thing, thei halewen batel on hym.
6 Enti ade bɛsa mo a morennya adaeso, sum beduru mo a morennya ahintasɛm biara. Owia bɛtɔ ama adiyifo no, na adekyee bɛdan sum ama wɔn.
Therfor niyt schal be to you for visioun, or profesie, and derknessis to you for dyuynacioun; and sunne schal go doun on the profetis, and the dai schal be maad derk on hem.
7 Adehufo ani bewu na wobegu asamanfrɛfo anim ase. Wɔn nyinaa bɛkatakata wɔn anim, efisɛ mmuae biara mfi Onyankopɔn hɔ mma.”
And thei schulen be confoundid that seen visiouns, and dyuynours schulen be confoundid, and alle schulen hile her cheris, for it is not the answer of God.
8 Nanso me de, tumi ahyɛ me ma, Awurade Honhom ahyɛ me ma trenee ne ahoɔden a mede bɛpae mu aka Yakob amumɔyɛ ne Israel bɔne.
Netheles Y am fillid with strengthe of Spirit of the Lord, and in doom and vertu, that Y schewe to Jacob his greet trespas, and to Israel his synne.
9 Muntie, mo Yakobfi akannifo, mo a mudi Israel so, a mukyi atɛntrenee na mokyea nea ɛteɛ nyinaa;
Here these thingis, ye princes of the hous of Jacob, and domesmen of the hous of Israel, whiche wlaten dom, and peruerten alle riyt thingis;
10 Mo a mode mogyahwiegu kyekyeree Sion ne awurukasɛm kyekyeree Yerusalem.
whiche bilden Sion in bloodis, and Jerusalem in wickidnesse.
11 Nʼakannifo no gye adanmude ansa na wobu atɛn, nʼasɔfo gye sika ansa na wɔakyerɛkyerɛ, nʼadiyifo de nkɔmhyɛ ayɛ sikapɛ. Nanso wɔdan Awurade, na wɔka se, “Awurade nni yɛn ntam ana? Ɔhaw biara remma yɛn so.”
Princes therof demyden for yiftis, and prestis therof tauyten for hire, and profetis therof dyuyneden for money; and on the Lord thei restiden, and seiden, Whether the Lord is not in the myddil of us? yuelis schulen not come on vs.
12 Na mo nti, wobefuntum Sion te sɛ afuw, Yerusalem bɛyɛ nnwiriwii siw, na asɔredan no pampa bɛyɛ nkɔmoa so nkyɛkyerɛ.
For this thing bi cause of you, Sion as a feeld schal be erid; and Jerusalem schal be as an heep of stoonys, and the hil of the temple schal be in to hiye thingis of woodis.
