Miqueas 3
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1Je dis encore: "Ecoutez donc, chefs de Jacob et vous, seigneurs de la maison d'Israël! N'est-ce pas à vous à reconnaître le droit?
2Mais ils haïssent le bien, ils aiment le mal, ils enlèvent aux gens la peau et la chair de dessus leurs os.
3Ils se nourrissent de la substance de mon peuple, le dépouillent de sa peau, lui brisent les os, le mettent en pièces comme pour la marmite, comme la viande qu'on cuit dans une chaudière.
4Ensuite ils crieront vers l'Eternel, mais il ne les écoutera point; il détournera la face d'eux à ce moment, à cause des méfaits qu'ils ont commis. "
5Ainsi parle l'Eternel contre les prophètes qui égarent mon peuple, qui proclament la paix quand ils ont de quoi se mettre sous la dent, mais appellent la guerre contre quiconque n'emplit pas leur bouche:
6Eh bien! ce sera pour vous la nuit sans vision, les ténèbres sans oracles; le soleil se couchera pour les prophètes, pour eux le jour sera plongé dans l'obscurité.
7Alors les voyants seront confus, les diseurs d'oracles couverts de honte; ils s'envelopperont tous la barbe, car aucune réponse ne leur viendra de Dieu.
8Mais, en revanche, je me sens, moi, plein de force, due à l'inspiration de l'Eternel, de justice et de courage, pour exposer à Jacob son infidélité et à Israël son péché.
9Ecoutez donc ceci, chefs de la maison de Jacob et seigneurs de la maison d'Israël, qui détestez la justice et pervertissez tout ce qui est droit!
10Ils bâtissent Sion au moyen de meurtres et Jérusalem au moyen d'iniquités.
11Ses chefs rendent la justice pour des présents, ses prêtres donnent leur enseignement pour un salaire, ses prophètes prononcent des oracles à prix d'argent, et ils osent s'appuyer sur l'Eternel et dire: "Certes l'Eternel est au milieu de nous, aucun mal ne nous atteindra!"
12Eh bien! à cause de vous Sion sera labourée comme un champ, Jérusalem deviendra un monceau de ruines, et la montagne du temple une hauteur boisée.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y DIJE: Oid ahora, príncipes de Jacob, y cabezas de la casa de Israel: ¿No pertenecía á vosotros saber el derecho?
2Que aborrecen lo bueno y aman lo malo, que les quitan su piel y su carne de sobre los huesos;
3Que 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.
4Entonces clamarán á Jehová y no les responderá; antes esconderá de ellos su rostro en aquel tiempo, por cuanto hicieron malvadas obras.
5Así 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:
6Por 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.
7Y serán avergonzados los profetas, y confundiránse los adivinos; y ellos todos cubrirán su labio, porque no hay respuesta de Dios.
8Yo 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.
9Oid ahora esto, cabezas de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel, que abomináis el juicio, y pervertís todo el derecho;
10Que edificáis á Sión con sangre, y á Jerusalem con injusticia;
11Sus 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.
12Por tanto, á causa de vosotros será Sión arada como campo, y Jerusalem será majanos, y el monte de la casa como cumbres de breñal.
King James Version
1And 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?
2Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3Who 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.
4Then 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.
5Thus 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.
6Therefore 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.
7Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8But 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.
9Hear 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.
10They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11The 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.
12Therefore 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.
World English Bible
1I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?
2You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
3who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
4Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
5The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
6“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
7The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.”
8But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
9Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
10who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD among us? No disaster will come on us.”
12Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.
