< Micah 3 >
1 Nígbà náà, ni mo wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́, ẹ̀yin olórí Jakọbu, ẹ̀yin alákòóso ilé Israẹli. Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin kò ha ni í gba òdodo bí.
And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
2 Ẹ̀yin tí ó kórìíra ìre, tí ẹ sì fẹ́ràn ibi; ẹ̀yin tí ẹ fa awọ ẹran-ara àwọn ènìyàn mi ya kúrò lára wọn àti ẹran-ara wọn kúrò ní egungun wọn;
Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
3 àwọn tí ó jẹ ẹran-ara àwọn ènìyàn mi, wọn sì bọ́ awọ ara wọn kúrò lára wọn. Wọ́n sì fọ́ egungun wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́; wọn sì gé e sí wẹ́wẹ́ bí ẹran inú ìkòkò, bí ẹran inú agbada?”
And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
4 Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò kígbe sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n òun kì yóò dá wọn lóhùn. Ní àkókò náà ni òun yóò fi ojú rẹ̀ pamọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn, nítorí ibi tí wọ́n ti ṣe.
Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
5 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, “Ní ti àwọn Wòlíì tí ń ṣi àwọn ènìyàn mi lọ́nà, tí ẹnìkan bá fún wọn ní oúnjẹ, wọn yóò kéde àlàáfíà; ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá fi nǹkan sí wọn ní ẹnu, wọn yóò múra ogun sí i.
Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
6 Nítorí náà òru yóò wá sórí yín, tí ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí ìran kankan, òkùnkùn yóò sì kùn fún yín, tí ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì lè sọtẹ́lẹ̀. Oòrùn yóò sì wọ lórí àwọn wòlíì ọjọ́ yóò sì ṣókùnkùn lórí wọn.
Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
7 Ojú yóò sì ti àwọn wòlíì àwọn alásọtẹ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú yóò sì gba ìtìjú. Gbogbo wọn ni yóò bo ojú wọn, nítorí kò sí ìdáhùn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, èmi kún fún agbára pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí Olúwa, láti sọ ìré-òfin-kọjá Jakọbu fún un, àti láti sọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Israẹli fún un.
And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
9 Gbọ́ ẹ̀yin olórí ilé Jakọbu, àti ẹ̀yin alákòóso ilé Israẹli, tí ó kórìíra òdodo tí ó sì yí òtítọ́ padà;
Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
10 tí ó kọ́ Sioni pẹ̀lú ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀, àti Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú.
[who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
11 Àwọn olórí rẹ̀ ń ṣe ìdájọ́ nítorí àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀ sì ń kọ́ni nítorí owó ọ̀yà àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú sì ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nítorí owó. Síbẹ̀, wọn gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Nítòótọ́, Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú wa! Ibi kan kì yóò bá wa.”
Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
12 Nítorí náà, nítorí tiyín, ni a ó ṣe ro Sioni bí oko, Jerusalẹmu yóò sì di ebè àti òkè tẹmpili bí i ibi gíga igbó.
Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
