Michaeas 3
1 And he shall say, Hear now these words, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and ye remnant of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
Y dije: Oíd ahora, príncipes de Jacob, y cabezas de la casa de Israel: ¿No pertenecía a vosotros saber el derecho?
2 [who] hate good, and seek evil; [who] tear their skins off them, and their flesh off their bones:
Que aborrecen lo bueno, y aman lo malo: que les roban su cuero, y su carne de sobre sus huesos.
3 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 caldron, and as meat for the pot,
Y que comen la carne de mi pueblo, y les desuellan su cuero de sobre ellos, y les quebrantan sus huesos, y los rompen como para echar en caldero, y como carnes en olla.
4 thus they shall cry to the Lord, but he shall not hearken to them; and he shall turn away his face from them at that time, because they have done wickedly in their practices against themselves.
Entonces clamarán a Jehová, y no les responderá: antes esconderá de ellos su rostro en aquel tiempo, como ellos hicieron malas obras.
5 Thus saith 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:
Así dijo Jehová de los profetas, que hacen errar mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, y claman paz; y al que no les diere que coman, aplazan contra él batalla.
6 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.
Por tanto de la profecía se os hará noche, y oscuridad del adivinar; y sobre estos profetas se pondrá el sol, y el día se entenebrecerá sobre ellos.
7 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 hearken to them.
Y avergonzarse han los profetas, y confundirse han los adivinos, y ellos todos cubrirán su labio; porque no tendrán respuesta de Dios.
8 Surely I will strengthen myself with the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of power, to declare to Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sins.
Yo empero soy lleno de fuerza del Espíritu de Jehová, y de juicio, y de fortaleza; para denunciar a Jacob su rebelión, y a Israel su pecado.
9 Hear now these words, ye chiefs of the house of Jacob, and the remnant of the house of Israel, who hate judgment, and pervert all righteousness;
Oíd ahora esto, cabezas de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel, que abomináis el juicio, y pervertís todo el derecho:
10 who build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Que edificáis a Sión con sangre, y a Jerusalem con injusticia:
11 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 among us? no evil shall come upon us.
Sus cabezas juzgan por cohecho, y sus sacerdotes enseñan por precio, y sus profetas adivinan por dinero; y arrímanse a Jehová, diciendo: ¿No está Jehová entre nosotros? No vendrá mal sobre nosotros.
12 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.
Por tanto a causa de vosotros Sión será arada como campo, y Jerusalem será majanos, y el monte de la casa como cumbres de breña.
