Micah 3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 And I said: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?--	1 ܘܐܡܪ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܪ̈ܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠ̈ܐ ܠܡܕܥ ܕܝܢܐ
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;	2 ܣܢܝ̈ܝ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܒܝܫܬ̈ܐ ܕܚܛܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܗܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܒܣܪܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܪ̈ܡܝܗܘܢ
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.	3 ܕܐܟܠܘ ܒܣܪܗ ܕܥܡܝ ܘܡܫܟܗܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܫܠܚܘ ܘܓܪܡܝܗܘܢ ܬܒܪܘ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܩܕܣܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܒܣܪܐ ܒܩܕܪܐ
4 Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil.	4 ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܢܓܥܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܥܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܗܦܟ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܥܠ ܕܐܒܐܫܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ
5 Thus says the LORD 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.	5 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܡܛܥܝܢ ܠܥܡܝ ܕܢܟܬܝܢ ܒܫܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܡ̇ܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܩܪܒܐ
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;	6 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܙܘܐ ܘܬܚܫܟ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܨܡܐ ܘܬܥܪܒ ܫܡܫܐ ܥܠ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܘܢܥܡܛ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܐ
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.	7 ܘܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܚܙ̈ܘܢܐ ܘܢܚܦܪܘܢ ܩܨ̈ܘܡܐ ܘܢܬܥܛܦܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ
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 and to Israel his sin.	8 ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܘܬܐ ܕܐܚܘܐ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܥܘܠܗ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܚܛܝܬܗ
9 Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert all equity,	9 ܫܡܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܕܐ ܪ̈ܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܡܣܠܝܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܡܥܩܡܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܬܐ
10 who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wrong.	10 ܕܒܢܝܢ ܠܨܗܝܘܢ ܒܕܡܐ ܘܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܥܘܠܐ
11 Its heads give judgment for a bribe, its priests teach for hire, its prophets divine for money; yet they lean upon the LORD and say, "Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us."	11 ܪ̈ܫܝܗ̇ ܒܫܘܚܕܐ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܝܗ̇ ܒܐܓܪܐ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܘܢܒܝ̈ܝܗ̇ ܒܟܣܦܐ ܩܨܡܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܬܬܟܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܢܬܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ
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.	12 ܡܟܝܠ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܚܩܠܐ ܬܬܕܒܪ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܚܪܒܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܘܛܘܪ ܒܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ
