Micah 3

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Then I said, 'Kindly listen, you leaders of the House of Jacob, you princes of the House of Israel. Surelyyou are the ones who ought to know what is right,	1 Et dixi: “ Audite, principes Iacob et duces domus Israel: Numquid non vestrum est scire iudicium? ”.
2 and yet you hate what is good and love what is evil, skinning people alive, pul ing the flesh off theirbones,	2 Sed odio habetis bonum et diligitis malum. Violenter tollitis pelles eorum desuper eos et carnem eorum desuper ossibus eorum.
3 eating my people's flesh, stripping off their skin, breaking up their bones, chopping them up smal likeflesh for the pot, like meat in the stew-pan?'	3 Qui comedunt carnem populi mei et pellem eorum desuper excoriant; et ossa eorum confringunt et secant sicut carnem assam in lebete et quasi carnem in medio ollae.
4 Then they wil cal to Yahweh, but he wil not answer them. When the time comes he will hide his facefrom them because of the crimes they have committed.	4 Tunc clamabunt ad Dominum, et non exaudiet eos et abscondet faciem suam ab eis in tempore illo, sicut pessima fecerunt opera sua.
5 Yahweh says this against the prophets who lead my people astray: So long as they have something toeat they cry 'Peace'. But on anyone who puts nothing into their mouths they declare war.	5 Haec dicit Dominus super prophetas, qui seducunt populum meum, qui cum habent, quid mordeant dentibus suis, praedicant pacem; et, si quis non dederit in ore eorum quippiam, sanctificant super eum proelium.
6 And so, for you, night wil be without vision and for you the darkness without divination. The sun wil setfor the prophets, the daylight will go black above them.	6 Propterea nox vobis sine visione erit, et tenebrae vobis sine divinatione; et occumbet sol super prophetas, et obtenebrabitur super eos dies.
7 Then the seers wil be covered with shame, the diviners with confusion; they wil al put their hands overtheir mouths because there is no answer from God.	7 Et confundentur videntes, et confundentur divini, et operient labia sua omnes, quia non est responsum Dei.
8 Not so with me, I am ful of strength (ful of Yahweh's spirit), of the sense of right, of energy to accuseJacob of his crime and Israel of his sin.	8 Verumtamen ego repletus sum fortitudine spiritus Domini, iudicio et virtute, ut annuntiem Iacob scelus suum et Israel peccatum suum.
9 Kindly listen to this, you leaders of the House of Jacob, you princes of the House of Israel, who detestjustice, wresting it from its honest course,	9 Audite hoc, principes domus Iacob et iudices domus Israel, qui abominamini iudicium et omnia recta pervertitis,
10 who build Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity!	10 qui aedificatis Sion in sanguinibus et Ierusalem in iniquitate.
11 Her leaders give verdicts for presents, her priests take a fee for their rulings, her prophets divine formoney and yet they rely on Yahweh! 'Isn't Yahweh among us?' they say, 'No disaster is going to overtake us.'	11 Principes eius in muneribus iudicant, et sacerdotes eius in mercede docent, et prophetae eius in pecunia divinant; et super Dominum requiescunt dicentes: “ Numquid non Dominus in medio nostrum? Non venient super nos mala ”.
12 That is why, thanks to you, Zion will become ploughland, Jerusalem a heap of rubble and the TempleMount a wooded height.	12 Propter hoc causa vestri Sion quasi ager arabitur, et Ierusalem quasi acervus lapidum erit, et mons templi in excelsa silvarum.
