| 3 1 | And I said: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice? - | Micah denounces Israel's leaders. Mic.3.1-12 | וָאֹמַר שִׁמְעוּ־נָא רָאשֵׁי יַעֲקֹב וּקְצִינֵי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלֹוא לָכֶם לָדַעַת אֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּט׃ |
| 2 | you who hate the good and love the evil, who tear the skin from off my people, and their flesh from off their bones; | שֹׂנְאֵי טֹוב וְאֹהֲבֵי כ= רָעָה ק= רָע גֹּזְלֵי עֹורָם מֵעֲלֵיהֶם וּשְׁאֵרָם מֵעַל עַצְמֹותָם׃ | |
| 3 | who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones in pieces, and chop them up like meat in a kettle, like flesh in a caldron. | וַאֲשֶׁר אָכְלוּ שְׁאֵר עַמִּי וְעֹורָם מֵעֲלֵיהֶם הִפְשִׁיטוּ וְאֶת־עַצְמֹתֵיהֶם פִּצֵּחוּ וּפָרְשׂוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר בַּסִּיר וּכְבָשָׂר בְּתֹוךְ קַלָּחַת׃ | |
| 4 | Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil. | אָז יִזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה אֹותָם וְיַסְתֵּר פָּנָיו מֵהֶם בָּעֵת הַהִיא כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵרֵעוּ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם׃ ף | |
| 5 | Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry "Peace" when they have something to eat, but declare war against him who puts nothing into their mouths. | כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה עַל־הַנְּבִיאִים הַמַּתְעִים אֶת־עַמִּי הַנֹּשְׁכִים בְּשִׁנֵּיהֶם וְקָרְאוּ שָׁלֹום וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִתֵּן עַל־פִּיהֶם וְקִדְּשׁוּ עָלָיו מִלְחָמָה׃ | |
| 6 | Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them; | לָכֵן לַיְלָה לָכֶם מֵחָזֹון וְחָשְׁכָה לָכֶם מִקְּסֹם וּבָאָה הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ עַל־הַנְּבִיאִים וְקָדַר עֲלֵיהֶם הַיֹּום׃ | |
| 7 | the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God. | וּבֹשׁוּ הַחֹזִים וְחָפְרוּ הַקֹּסְמִים וְעָטוּ עַל־שָׂפָם כֻּלָּם כִּי אֵין מַעֲנֵה אֱלֹהִים׃ | |
| 8 | But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of Yahweh, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. | וְאוּלָם אָנֹכִי מָלֵאתִי כֹחַ אֶת־רוּחַ יְהוָה וּמִשְׁפָּט וּגְבוּרָה לְהַגִּיד לְיַעֲקֹב פִּשְׁעֹו וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל חַטָּאתֹו׃ ס | |
| 9 | Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert all equity, | שִׁמְעוּ־נָא זֹאת רָאשֵׁי בֵּית יַעֲקֹב וּקְצִינֵי בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמֲתַעֲבִים מִשְׁפָּט וְאֵת כָּל־הַיְשָׁרָה יְעַקֵּשׁוּ׃ | |
| 10 | who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wrong. | בֹּנֶה צִיֹּון בְּדָמִים וִירוּשָׁלִַם בְּעַוְלָה׃ | |
| 11 | Its heads give judgment for a bribe, its priests teach for hire, its prophets divine for money; yet they lean upon Yahweh and say, "Is not Yahweh in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us." | רָאשֶׁיהָ בְּשֹׁחַד יִשְׁפֹּטוּ וְכֹהֲנֶיהָ בִּמְחִיר יֹורוּ וּנְבִיאֶיהָ בְּכֶסֶף יִקְסֹמוּ וְעַל־יְהוָה יִשָּׁעֵנוּ לֵאמֹר הֲלֹוא יְהוָה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ לֹא־תָבֹוא עָלֵינוּ רָעָה׃ | |
| 12 | Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height. | לָכֵן בִּגְלַלְכֶם צִיֹּון שָׂדֶה תֵחָרֵשׁ וִירוּשָׁלִַם עִיִּין תִּהְיֶה וְהַר הַבַּיִת לְבָמֹות יָעַר׃ ף | |
