Mihej 6
1 Čujte, dakle, riječ koju govori Jahve: “Ustani! Povedi parnicu pred gorama, i neka bregovi čuju tvoj glas!”
Hear you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend you before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Slušajte, gore, parnicu Jahvinu, čujte, temelji zemaljski, jer Jahve se parbi s narodom svojim, on se parniči s Izraelom:
Hear you, O mountains, the LORD’s controversy, and you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 “Narode moj, što sam ti učinio? Čime sam te zamorio? Odgovori mi.
O my people, what have I done to you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 Ja sam tebe izveo iz zemlje egipatske, izbavio te iz kuće ropstva; poslao sam pred tobom Mojsija, Arona i Mirjamu.
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Narode moj, sjeti se sada: Što je bio naumio Balak, kralj moapski? Što je njemu odgovorio Bileam, sin Beorov? ...od Šitima do Gilgala, da poznaš pravedna djela Jahvina.”
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 “S čime ću doći pred Jahvu, hoću li pasti ničice pred Bogom Svevišnjim? Hoću li doći preda nj sa žrtvom paljenicom, s teocima od jedne godine?
With which shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Hoće li mu biti mile tisuće ovnova, tisuće tisuća potokÄa ulja? Treba li prinijeti sina prvorođenog zbog svoga zločina, plod svoje utrobe zbog grijeha koji sam počinio?”
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 “Objavljeno ti je, čovječe, što je dobro, što Jahve traži od tebe: samo činiti pravicu, milosrđe ljubiti i smjerno sa svojim Bogom hoditi.”
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 Jahvin glas viče gradu: “Slušajte, vi plemenjaci i sabore gradski!
The LORD’s voice cries to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name: hear you the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Zar mogu podnositi krivo stečeno blago i patvorenu efu prokletu?
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Mogu li opravdati onoga koji se služi mjerom krivom, vrećom krivotvorenih utega?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Bogataši vaši puni su okrutnosti, stanovnici vaši laž govore, varljiv je jezik u njihovim ustima!
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Zato sam te i ja počeo udarati, tamaniti zbog grijeha tvojih.
Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
14 Jest ćeš, a nećeš se nasititi, gladan ćeš ostati; stavljat ćeš na stranu, a ništa nećeš sačuvati; ako što i sačuvaš, ja ću maču predati.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in the middle of you; and you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver will I give up to the sword.
15 Sijat ćeš, ali nećeš žeti; tijestit ćeš maslinu, a ulja neće biti; gazit ćeš mošt, a vina nećeš piti.
You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 Držiš se zakona Omrijevih i svih djela doma Ahabova, živiš po osnovama njihovim: učinit ću od tebe pustinju, od žitelja tvojih porugu, da nosite sramotu mnogih naroda.”
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people.
