Micah 6
1 Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.
Ouvi agora o que diz o Senhor: Levanta-te, contende com os montes, e ouçam os outeiros a tua voz.
2 Give ear, O you mountains, to the Lord's cause, and take note, you bases of the earth: for the Lord has a cause against his people, and he will take it up with Israel.
Ouvi montes, a contenda do Senhor, e vós, fortes fundamentos da terra; porque o Senhor tem uma contenda com o seu povo, e com Israel entrará em juizo.
3 O my people, what have I done to you? how have I been a weariness to you? give answer against me.
Ó povo meu; que te tenho feito? e com que te enfadei? testifica contra mim.
4 For I took you up out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Certamente te fiz subir da terra do Egypto e da casa da servidão te remi; e enviei adiante de ti a Moysés, Aarão e Miriam.
5 O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.
Povo meu, ora lembra-te do que consultou Balak, rei de Moab, e o que lhe respondeu Balaão, filho de Beor, desde Sittim até Gilgal; para que conheças as justiças do Senhor.
6 With what am I to come before the Lord and go with bent head before the high God? am I to come before him with burned offerings, with young oxen a year old?
Com que coisa encontrarei ao Senhor, e me inclinarei ao Deus altissimo? encontral-o-hei com holocaustos? com bezerros de um anno?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of sheep or with ten thousand rivers of oil? am I to give my first child for my wrongdoing, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Agradar-se-ha o Senhor de milhares de carneiros? de dez mil ribeiros de azeite? darei o meu primogenito pela minha transgressão? o fructo do meu ventre pelo peccado da minha alma?
8 He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.
Elle te declarou, ó homem, o que é bom; e que é o que o Senhor pede de ti, senão que pratiques a justiça, e ames a beneficencia, e andes humildemente com o teu Deus
9 The voice of the Lord is crying out to the town: Give ear, you tribes and the meeting of the town.
A voz do Senhor clama á cidade (porque o teu nome vê a inteireza): Ouvi a vara, e a quem a ordenou.
10 Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?
Ainda ha na casa do impio thesouros da impiedade? e epha pequena, que é detestavel?
11 Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?
Seria eu limpo com balanças falsas? e com uma bolsa de pesos enganosos?
12 For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
Porque os seus ricos estão cheios de violencia, e os seus habitantes fallam mentiras; e a sua lingua é enganosa na sua bocca.
13 So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
Assim eu tambem te enfraquecerei, ferindo-te e assolando-te por causa dos teus peccados.
14 You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword.
Tu comerás, mas não te fartarás; e a tua humilhação estará no meio de ti; e tu removerás, mas não livrarás; e aquillo que livrares, eu o entregarei á espada
15 You will put in seed, but you will not get in the grain; you will be crushing olives, but your bodies will not be rubbed with the oil; and you will get in the grapes, but you will have no wine.
Tu semearás, mas não segarás: pisarás a azeitona, mas não te ungirás com azeite; e o mosto, mas não beberás vinho.
16 For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.
Porque se guardaram os estatutos de Omri, e toda a obra da casa de Acab, e vós andaes nos conselhos d'elles; para que eu te faça uma desolação, e dos seus habitantes um assobio: assim trareis sobre vós o opprobrio do meu povo
