¹I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?

¹[Ny nahadiso ny lehiben'ny Isiraely sy ny mpaminany, ary ny handravana an'i Jerosalema]Ary hoy izaho: Masìna ianareo, mihainoa, ry loholon'i Jakoba, Sy ianareo mpanapaka ny taranak'Isiraely: Tsy anjara-raharahanareo va ny hahalala ny rariny?

²You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;

²Dia ianareo izay mankahala ny tsara ka tia ny ratsy, Izay manendaka ny hoditry ny olona Sy ny nofony amin'ny taolany,

³who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

³Eny, ianareo izay homana ny nofon'ny oloko koa Sady manendaka ny hodiny Ary mamakivaky ny taolany; Eny, mitetika azy toy ny hatao am-bilany izy, Ary toy ny hena ao anatin'ny fahandroan-kena.

⁴Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

⁴Amin'izany dia hitaraina amin'i Jehovah izy, Nefa tsy hohenoiny; Hanafina ny tavany aminy amin'izany andro izany Izy Araka ny faharatsian'ny nataon'ireo.

⁵Thus says Yahweh 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:

⁵Izao no lazain'i Jehovah ny amin'ny mpaminany izay mampaniasia ny oloko, dia ireo izay manaikitra amin'ny nifiny, nefa mitory fiadanana, ary izay tsy manisy hanina eo am-bavany kosa dia iantsoany hanaovana ady masina:

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.

⁶Koa izany no hisian'ny alina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fahitana, Ary ny maizina aminareo, ka tsy hisy fankatovana; Fa hilentika tsy hanazava ny mpaminany ny masoandro, Ary ho maizina aminy ny andro,

⁷The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer from God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .”

⁷Dia ho menatra ny mpahita, Ary hangaihay ny mpanao fankatovana; Eny, hitampim-bava avokoa izy rehetra, Satria tsy misy valiny avy amin'Andriamanitra.

⁸But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.

⁸Fa izaho kosa dia feno hery, dia ny Fanahin'i Jehovah, Mbamin'ny rariny sy ny faherezana, Mba hanambara amin'i Jakoba ny helony Sy amin'Isiraely ny fahotany.[Na:amin']

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.

⁹Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izao, Ry loholon'ny taranak'i Jakoba, Sy ry mpanapaka ny taranak'Isiraely, Dia ianareo izay manao ny rariny ho fahavetavetana Sy mamadika ny hitsiny rehetra,

¹⁰They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

¹⁰Dia izay manangana an'i Ziona amin'ny fandatsahan-drà Sy Jerosalema amin'ny faharatsiana.

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 Yahweh, and say, “Isn’t Yahweh in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us.”

¹¹Ny mpifehiny mitsara hahazoany kolikoly, Ary ny mpisorony mampianatra hahazoany karama, Ary ny mpaminany manao fankatovana hahazoany vola; Nefa Jehovah mbola iankinany ihany hoe: Tsy ato amintsika va Jehovah? Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika.Koa dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly Ziona noho ny nataonareo, Ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, Ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.

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.

¹²Koa dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly Ziona noho ny nataonareo, Ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, Ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.
