Micah 6
1 Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
| اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: انْهَضْ وَأَعْلِنْ دَعْوَاكَ أَمَامَ الْجِبَالِ، وَلْتَكُنِ الأَكَامُ شَاهِدَةً عَلَى كَلامِكَ. | ١ |
2 Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
| اسْتَمِعِي يَا جِبَالُ إِلَى شَكْوَى الرَّبِّ، وَأَصْغِي يَا أُسُسَ الأَرْضِ الثَّابِتَةِ، فَإِنَّ لَدَى الرَّبِّ شَكْوَى عَلَى شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ |
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
| بِمَاذَا أَسَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَا شَعْبِي وَبِمَا ضَايَقْتُكَ؟ أَجِبْنِي. | ٣ |
4 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.
| لَقَدْ أَخْرَجْتُكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَافْتَدَيْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ | ٤ |
5 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.”
| اذْكُرْ يَا شَعْبِي مَا تَآمَرَ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ بَالاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَمَا أَجَابَهُ بِهِ بَلْعَامُ بنُ بَعُورَ. وَاذْكُرْ مَا أَحْسَنْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي رِحْلَتِكَ مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ لِكَيْ تُدْرِكَ عَدْلَ الرَّبِّ. | ٥ |
6 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?
| يَا رَبُّ: بِمَاذَا أَتَقَدَّمُ عِنْدَمَا أَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَأَسْجُدُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ مِنْهُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ وَبِعُجُولٍ حَوْلِيَّةٍ؟ | ٦ |
7 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?
| هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُقَرِّبُ بِكْرِي فِدَاءَ إِثْمِي وَثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي تَكْفِيراً عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ نَفْسِي؟ | ٧ |
8 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?
| لَقَدْ أَوْضَحَ لَكَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ. وَمَاذَا يَبْتَغِي مِنْكَ سِوَى أَنْ تَتَوَخَّى الْعَدْلَ، وَتُحِبَّ الرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعاً مَعَ إِلَهِكَ؟ | ٨ |
9 The LORD’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
| صَوْتُ الرَّبِّ يُنَادِي فِي أَرْجَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَمِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ أَنْ يُتَّقَى اسْمُكَ. اسْتَمِعُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَعْضَاءَ مَجْلِسِهَا: | ٩ |
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
| فِي بُيُوتِ الأَشْرَارِ كُنُوزٌ مَسْرُوقَةٌ ومَوَازِينُ مَغْشُوشَةٌ. | ١٠ |
11 Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
| فَكَيْفَ أُبْرِىءُ ذَا الْمَعَايِيرِ الْمَغْشُوشَةِ، صَاحِبَ كِيسِ الْمَوَازِينِ النَّاقِصَةِ؟ | ١١ |
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
| قَدِ امْتَلأَ أَثْرِيَاءُ الْمَدِينَةِ ظُلْماً، وَنَطَقَ سُكَّانُهَا بِالْكَذِبِ وَأَلْسِنَةُ الغِشِّ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ | ١٢ |
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
| لِذَلِكَ شَرَعْتُ فِي تَدْمِيرِكِ لأَجْعَلَكِ خَرَاباً مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكِ. | ١٣ |
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
| سَتَأْكُلِينَ وَلا تَشْبَعِينَ، وَيَظَلُّ جَوْفُكِ خَاوِياً. وَمَا تَدَّخِرِينَهُ تَعْجَزِينَ عَنِ الاحْتِفَاظِ بِهِ. لأَنِّي أَدْفَعُهُ لِلسَّيْفِ. | ١٤ |
15 You will sow, but will not reap. You will tread the olives, but will not anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but will not drink the wine.
| تَزْرَعِينَ وَلا تَحْصُدِينَ. تَعْصُرِينَ الزَّيْتُونَ وَلا تَدَّهِنِي بِزَيْتِهِ، وَتَعْصُرِينَ الْعِنَبَ وَلا تَشْرَبِينَ مِنْ خَمْرِهِ. | ١٥ |
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
| لأَنَّكِ قَدْ مَارَسْتِ فَرَائِضَ عُمْرِي، وَنَهَجْتِ عَلَى غِرَارِ آخْابَ، وَسَلَكْتِ فِي مَشُورَاتِهِمْ. لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُكِ خَرَاباً، وَشَعْبَكِ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ، وَتُقَاسُونَ مِنِ احْتِقَارِ الأُمَمِ. | ١٦ |
