Micah 3
New International Version
Leaders and Prophets Rebuked
3 Then I said,
“Listen, you leaders(A) of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel.
Should you not embrace justice,
2 you who hate good and love evil;
who tear the skin from my people
and the flesh from their bones;(B)
3 who eat my people’s flesh,(C)
strip off their skin
and break their bones in pieces;(D)
who chop(E) them up like meat for the pan,
like flesh for the pot?(F)”
4 Then they will cry out to the Lord,
but he will not answer them.(G)
At that time he will hide his face(H) from them
because of the evil they have done.(I)
5 This is what the Lord says:
“As for the prophets
who lead my people astray,(J)
they proclaim ‘peace’(K)
if they have something to eat,
but prepare to wage war against anyone
who refuses to feed them.
6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,
and darkness, without divination.(L)
The sun will set for the prophets,(M)
and the day will go dark for them.(N)
7 The seers will be ashamed(O)
and the diviners disgraced.(P)
They will all cover(Q) their faces(R)
because there is no answer from God.(S)”
8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the Lord,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression,
to Israel his sin.(T)
9 Hear this, you leaders of Jacob,
you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice
and distort all that is right;(U)
10 who build(V) Zion with bloodshed,(W)
and Jerusalem with wickedness.(X)
11 Her leaders judge for a bribe,(Y)
her priests teach for a price,(Z)
and her prophets tell fortunes for money.(AA)
Yet they look(AB) for the Lord’s support and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”(AC)
12 Therefore because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(AD)
the temple(AE) hill a mound overgrown with thickets.(AF)

Ang mga Katiwalian ng mga Pinuno sa Israel
3 At sinabi ko, “Makinig kayo, lahat ng mga pinuno ng Israel! Katarungan ang dapat ninyong pairalin. 2 Ngunit ayaw ninyo ng mabuti at ang nais ninyo'y kasamaan. Binabalatan ninyo nang buháy ang aking bayan at unti-unting hinihimay ang kanilang mga laman. 3 Kinakain ninyo ang kanilang laman, binabakbak ang kanilang balat, binabali ang mga buto, at tinatadtad na parang karneng iluluto. 4 Darating ang araw na kayo'y dadaing kay Yahweh, ngunit hindi niya kayo tutugunin. Hindi niya kayo papakinggan dahil sa inyong mga kasamaang ginawa.”
5 Ganito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh tungkol sa mga bulaang propeta na naging dahilan ng pagkaligaw ng bayang Israel: “Nangangako sila ng kapayapaan sa mga nagsusuhol sa kanila, ngunit pinagbabantaan nilang didigmain ang ayaw magsuhol sa kanila.”
6 “Sasapit ang gabi ngunit hindi kayo magkakaroon ng pangitain; lalaganap ang dilim subalit hindi kayo tatanggap ng pahayag mula sa Diyos. Lulubog na ang araw para sa mga propeta; malagim ang kahihinatnan nila. 7 Mapapahiya ang mga manghuhula, pagtatawanan ang kanilang mga pahayag, sapagkat hindi na sila sinasagot ng Diyos.
8 “Subalit ako'y puspos ng kapangyarihan, ng espiritu ni Yahweh, ng katarungan at kapangyarihan upang ipahayag sa mga Israelita ang kanilang mga kasalanan. 9 Makinig kayo, lahat ng mga pinuno ng Israel. Nasusuklam kayo sa katarungan at binabaluktot ninyo ang katuwiran! 10 Itinayo ninyo ang Zion sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay; itinatag ninyo ang Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng kasamaan. 11 Ang kanyang mga pinuno'y nagpapasuhol muna bago humatol, nagpapaupa ang mga pari para magturo, at ang mga propeta nama'y nanghuhula dahil sa salapi. Gayunman, umaasa sila kay Yahweh at sinasabi, ‘Nasa kalagitnaan natin si Yahweh kaya walang kasamaang darating sa atin.’”
12 Kaya't(A) dahil sa inyo, ang Zion ay bubungkalin tulad ng isang bukirin, magiging isang bunton ng gumuhong bato ang Jerusalem, at ang burol na kinatatayuan ng Templo'y magiging gubat.

King James Version
3 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

Pokvareni vođe naroda
3 Tada sam rekao:
»Slušajte, vođe naroda Jakovljevog,
glavari naroda Izraelovog.
Trebali ste znati što je ispravno.
2 A vi mrzite dobro i volite zlo.
Mom narodu derete kožu
i trgate mu meso s kostiju.
3 Jedete meso mojih ljudi,
gulite im kožu i drobite kosti.
Siječete ih kao meso,
koje se stavlja u kotao.«
4 Zato, kad zavape Bogu,
on im neće odgovoriti.
Sakrit će svoje lice od njih
zbog zlih djela koja su učinili.
Lažni proroci
5 BOG govori o prorocima koji moj narod vode krivim putem. Oni obećavaju mir onima koji ih hrane, a onima koji ih ne hrane, objavljuju rat.
6 »Zato noću nećete imati viđenja.
Obavit će vas tama
i nećete moći proricati.
Zaći će sunce tim prorocima
i dan će im se smračiti.
7 Osramotit će se vidioci
i obrukati gataoci.
Svi će šuteći pokriti usta
jer im Bog neće odgovoriti.«
8 A mene je BOŽJI Duh ispunio
silom, pravdom i moći,
da Jakovu kažem za njegove zločine
i Izraelu za njegove grijehe.
Pokvareni vođe
9 Poslušajte, vođe naroda Jakovljevog,
glavari naroda Izraelovog.
Vi mrzite ono što je pravedno
i iskrivljujete sve što je ispravno.
10 Sion gradite prolivenom krvlju
i Jeruzalem nepravednošću.
11 Njihovi vođe primaju mito
da bi donosili presude.
Svećenici za plaću poučavaju,
a proroci za novac prorokuju.
I još se na BOGA oslanjaju i govore:
»BOG je sigurno s nama.
Ništa loše neće nam se dogoditi.«
12 Zato će zbog vas, vođe,
Sion biti preoran kao polje.
Jeruzalem će postati gomila krša,
a brdo na kojem stoji Hram,
obrast će visoka šikara.

Wicked Rulers and Prophets
3 And I said:
“Hear now, O heads of Jacob,
And you (A)rulers of the house of Israel:
(B)Is it not for you to know justice?
2 You who hate good and love evil;
Who strip the skin from [a]My people,
And the flesh from their bones;
3 Who also (C)eat the flesh of My people,
Flay their skin from them,
Break their bones,
And chop them in pieces
Like meat for the pot,
(D)Like flesh in the caldron.”
4 Then (E)they will cry to the Lord,
But He will not hear them;
He will even hide His face from them at that time,
Because they have been evil in their deeds.
5 Thus says the Lord (F)concerning the prophets
Who make my people stray;
Who chant [b]“Peace”
[c]While they (G)chew with their teeth,
But who prepare war against him
(H)Who puts nothing into their mouths:
6 “Therefore(I) you shall have night without [d]vision,
And you shall have darkness without divination;
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
And the day shall be dark for (J)them.
7 So the seers shall be ashamed,
And the diviners abashed;
Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
(K)For there is no answer from God.”
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord,
And of justice and might,
(L)To declare to Jacob his transgression
And to Israel his sin.
9 Now hear this,
You heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who abhor justice
And [e]pervert all equity,
10 (M)Who build up Zion with (N)bloodshed
And Jerusalem with iniquity:
11 (O)Her heads judge for a bribe,
(P)Her priests teach for pay,
And her prophets divine for [f]money.
(Q)Yet they lean on the Lord, and say,
“Is not the Lord among us?
No harm can come upon us.”
12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be (R)plowed like a field,
(S)Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And (T)the mountain of the [g]temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.
