< Micah 3 >

1 And I sayd, Heare, I pray you, O heads of Iaakob, and yee princes of the house of Israel: should not ye knowe iudgement?
Ary hoy izaho: Masìna ianareo, mihainoa, ry loholon’ i Jakoba, Sy ianareo mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely: Tsy anjara-raharahanareo va ny hahalala ny rariny?
2 But they hate the good, and loue the euill: they plucke off their skinnes from them, and their flesh from their bones.
Dia ianareo izay mankahala ny tsara ka tia ny ratsy, Izay manendaka ny hoditry ny olona Sy ny nofony amin’ ny taolany,
3 And they eate also the flesh of my people, and flay off their skinne from them, and they breake their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Eny, ianareo izay homana ny nofon’ ny oloko koa Sady manendaka ny hodiny Ary mamakivaky ny taolany; Eny, mitetika azy toy ny hatao am-bilany izy, Ary toy ny hena ao anatin’ ny fahandroan-kena.
4 Then shall they crye vnto the Lord, but he will not heare them: he wil euen hide his face from them at that time, because they haue done wickedly in their workes.
Amin’ izany dia hitaraina amin’ i Jehovah izy, Nefa tsy hohenoiny; Hanafina ny tavany aminy amin’ izany andro izany Izy Araka ny faharatsian’ ny nataon’ ireo.
5 Thus saith the Lord, Concerning the prophets that deceiue my people, and bite them with their teeth, and cry peace, but if a man put not into their mouthes, they prepare warre against him,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpaminany izay mampaniasia ny oloko, dia ireo izay manaikitra amin’ ny nifiny, nefa mitory fiadanana, ary izay tsy manisy hanina eo am-bavany kosa dia iantsoany hanaovana ady masìna:
6 Therefore night shalbe vnto you for a vision, and darkenesse shalbe vnto you for a diuination, and the sunne shall goe downe ouer the prophets, and the day shalbe darke ouer them.
Koa izany no hisian’ ny alina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fahitana, Ary ny maizina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fankatovana; Fa hilentika tsy hanazava ny mpaminany ny masoandro, Ary ho maizina aminy ny andro,
7 Then shall the Seers bee ashamed, and the southsayers confounded: yea, they shall all couer their lippes, for they haue none answere of God.
Dia ho menatra ny mpahita, Ary hangaihay ny mpanao fankatovana; Eny, hitampim-bava avokoa izy rehetra, Satria tsy misy valiny avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
8 Yet notwithstanding I am full of power by the Spirite of the Lord, and of iudgement, and of strength to declare vnto Iaakob his transgression, and to Israel his sinne.
Fa izaho kosa dia feno hery, dia ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, Mbamin’ ny rariny sy ny faherezana, Mba hanambara amin’ i Jakoba ny helony Sy amin’ Isiraely ny fahotany.
9 Heare this, I pray you, ye heades of the house of Iaakob, and princes of the house of Israel: they abhorre iudgement, and peruert all equitie.
Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izao, Ry loholon’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, Sy ry mpanapaka ny taranak’ Isiraely, Dia ianareo izay manao ny rariny ho fahavetavetana Sy mamadika ny hitsiny rehetra,
10 They build vp Zion with blood, and Ierusalem with iniquitie.
Dia izay manangana an’ i Ziona amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin’ ny faharatsiana.
11 The heads thereof iudge for rewardes, and the Priestes thereof teache for hyre, and the prophets thereof prophecie for money: yet wil they leane vpon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among vs? no euill can come vpon vs.
Ny mpifehiny mitsara hahazoany kolikoly, Ary ny mpisorony mampianatra hahazoany karama, Ary ny mpaminany manao fankatovana hahazoany vola; Nefa Jehovah mbola iankinany ihany hoe: Tsy ato amintsika va Jehovah? Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake bee plowed as a field, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the house, as the hye places of the forest.
Koa dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly Ziona noho ny nataonareo, Ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, Ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.
