Micah 3
|
Y DIJE: Oid ahora, príncipes de Jacob, y cabezas de la casa de Israel: ¿No pertenecía á vosotros saber el derecho? | And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right? |
Que aborrecen lo bueno y aman lo malo, que les quitan su piel y su carne de sobre los huesos; | You who are haters of good and lovers of evil, pulling off their skin from them and their flesh from their bones; |
Que comen asimismo la carne de mi pueblo, y les desuellan su piel de sobre ellos, y les quebrantan sus huesos y los rompen, como para el caldero, y como carnes en olla. | Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the cooking-pot. |
Entonces clamarán á Jehová y no les responderá; antes esconderá de ellos su rostro en aquel tiempo, por cuanto hicieron malvadas obras. | Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil. |
Así ha dicho Jehová acerca de los profetas que hacen errar á mi pueblo, que muerden con sus dientes, y claman, Paz, y al que no les diere que coman, aplazan contra él batalla: | This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him. |
Por tanto, de la profecía se os hará noche, y oscuridad del adivinar; y sobre los profetas se pondrá el sol, y el día se entenebrecerá sobre ellos. | For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them. |
Y serán avergonzados los profetas, y confundiránse los adivinos; y ellos todos cubrirán su labio, porque no hay respuesta de Dios. | And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God. |
Yo empero estoy lleno de fuerza del espíritu de Jehová, y de juicio, y de fortaleza, para denunciar á Jacob su rebelión, y á Israel su pecado. | But I truly am full of the spirit of the Lord, with power of judging and with strength to make clear to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin. |
Oid ahora esto, cabezas de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel, que abomináis el juicio, y pervertís todo el derecho; | Then give ear to this, you heads of the children of Jacob, you rulers of the children of Israel, hating what is right, twisting what is straight. |
Que edificáis á Sión con sangre, y á Jerusalem con injusticia; | They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing. |
Sus cabezas juzgan por cohecho, y sus sacerdotes enseñan por precio, y sus profetas adivinan por dinero; y apóyanse en Jehová diciendo: ¿no está Jehová entre nosotros? No vendrá mal sobre nosotros. | Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us. |
Por tanto, á causa de vosotros será Sión arada como campo, y Jerusalem será majanos, y el monte de la casa como cumbres de breñal. | For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods. |
