Mika 6
1 Winj gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Chungʼ malo, ket kwayoni e nyim gode; thuche mondo owinj wach ma in-go.
Hear ye now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 “Un gode, winjuru wach ma Jehova Nyasaye nigo kodu, chikuru itu un mise mochwere mag piny. Nikech Jehova Nyasaye nigi wach kod joge; en gi bura gi jo-Israel.
Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 “Un joga en angʼo ma asetimonu? Asemiyou tingʼ mapek e yo mane? Dwokauru ane.
O my people, what have I done to thee? And in what have I wearied thee? Testify against me.
4 Ne agolou e piny Misri kendo agonyou thuolo e piny wasumbini. Ne aoro Musa, mondo otelnu, bende naoro Harun gi Miriam.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage. And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Un joga parieuru kaka Balak ruodh jo-Moab nongʼado rieko, kendo kaka Balaam wuod Beor nodwoko. Parieuru wuoth mane uago Shitim nyaka Gilgal, mondo mi ungʼe timbe makare mag Jehova Nyasaye.”
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
6 En angʼo ma dabigo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo akulrago e nyim Nyasaye moloyo? Dabi e nyime gi misengini miwangʼo pep koso gi nyiroye ma jo-higa achiel?
With what shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Donge Jehova Nyasaye dibed mamor ka akelone imbe alufe gi alufe, kata ka kelone moo mamol ka aora? Dachiw nyathina makayo eka wena kethona, koso nyodo mar ringra eka wena richona?
Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Osenyisi gima ber yaye dhano. To angʼo ma Jehova Nyasaye dwaro ni itim? Odwaro ni iti gadiera kendo iher kecho ji kendo iwuoth mobolore e nyim Nyasachi.
He has shown thee, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Winjuru! Luong Jehova Nyasaye ne dala maduongʼ chutho luoro nyingi en rieko. “Yie kum momiyi kaachiel gi ngʼama ochiwe.
The voice of Jehovah cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Yaye oganda ma timbegi mono, bende wiya pod diwil awila gi mwandu-u muyudo e yor mecho, kod giu mag pimo mokwongʼ?
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
11 Bende dagony ngʼat man-gi rapim mag mayo ji gi gorogoro modi?
Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Joge machwo momewo gin joma ohero lweny. To joge mamoko duto gin jo-miriambo kendo lewgi wacho miriambo.
For the rich men of it are full of violence, and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Kuom mano, asechako tiekou, kendo asechako kethou nikech richou.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound, I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Ubiro chiemo to ok unuyiengʼ; unusik mana ka udenyo. Unukan gik moko to ok ginikonyu, nikech gik mukano nachiwne jowasiku.
Thou shall eat, but not be satisfied, and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee. And thou shall put away, but shall not save, and that which thou save I will give up to the sword.
15 Unupidh cham to ok unukagi; ubiro biyo zeituni to ok unukonyru gi modhigi un uwegi, bende ubiro biyo mzabibu to ok unumadh divai mag-gi.
Thou shall sow, but shall not reap, thou shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint thee with oil, and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.
16 Useluwo buche mag Omri kod timbe duto mag jood Ahab, kendo useluwo kitgi gi timbegi. Emomiyo abiro weyou ne kethruok kendo jowu ibiro chaa. Ubiro tingʼo ajara mag ogendini duto.”
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels, that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing. And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
