Mika 6

1 Winj gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Chungʼ malo, ket kwayoni e nyim gode; thuche mondo owinj wach ma in-go.

Listen now to what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.

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, you mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD 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.

My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer 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 you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you 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.”

My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."

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?

How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted 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 the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? 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 you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9 Winjuru! Luong Jehova Nyasaye ne dala maduongʼ chutho luoro nyingi en rieko. “Yie kum momiyi kaachiel gi ngʼama ochiwe.

The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who 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 short ephah that is accursed?

11 Bende dagony ngʼat man-gi rapim mag mayo ji gi gorogoro modi?

Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, 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.

Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.

13 Kuom mano, asechako tiekou, kendo asechako kethou nikech richou.

Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

14 Ubiro chiemo to ok unuyiengʼ; unusik mana ka udenyo. Unukan gik moko to ok ginikonyu, nikech gik mukano nachiwne jowasiku.

You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you 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.

You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't 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 you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
