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.
Poslušajte sedaj, kar govori Gospod: »Vstani, poteguj se pred gorami in naj hribi slišijo tvoj glas.
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.
Prisluhnite, oh gore, Gospodovo polemiko in vi močni temelji zemlje, kajti Gospod ima polemiko s svojim ljudstvom in pravdal se bo z Izraelom.
3 O my people, what have I done to you? how have I been a weariness to you? give answer against me.
Oh moje ljudstvo, kaj sem ti storil? In v čem sem te izmučil? Pričaj zoper mene.
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.
Kajti privedel sem te gor iz egiptovske dežele in te odkupil iz hiše služabnikov in pred teboj sem poslal Mojzesa, Arona in Mirjam.
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.
Oh moje ljudstvo, spomnite se sedaj kaj je svetoval moábski kralj Balák, in kaj mu je Beórjev sin Bileám odgovoril iz Šitíma do Gilgála, da boste lahko spoznali Gospodovo pravičnost.
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?
S čim bom prišel pred Gospoda in se priklonil pred vzvišenim Bogom? Naj pridem predenj z žgalnimi daritvami, z enoletnimi teleti?
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?
Mar bo Gospod zadovoljen s tisoči ovnov ali z deset tisočimi rekami olja? Naj dam svojega prvorojenca za svoj prestopek, sad mojega telesa za greh moje duše?
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.
Pokazal ti je, oh človek, kaj je dobro. Kaj zahteva Gospod od tebe, razen da ravnaš pravično, da ljubiš usmiljenje in da ponižno hodiš s svojim Bogom?
9 The voice of the Lord is crying out to the town: Give ear, you tribes and the meeting of the town.
Gospodov glas kliče v mesto in človek modrosti bo videl tvoje ime. Poslušaj palico in tistega, ki jo je določil.
10 Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?
Ali so še zakladi zlobnosti v hiši zlobnega in skopa mera, kar je gnusno?
11 Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?
Mar jih bom štel za čiste z zlobnimi tehtnicami in s torbo varljivih uteži?
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.
Kajti njegovi bogataši so polni nasilja in njegovi prebivalci so govorili laži in njihov jezik je varljiv v njihovih ustih.
13 So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
Zato te bom tudi jaz naredil bolnega, ko te bom udarjal, ko te bom pustošil zaradi tvojih grehov.
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.
Jedel boš, toda ne boš nasičen in tvoja sestradanost bo v tvoji sredi in prijel boš, toda ne boš rešil in to, kar rešiš, bom izročil meču.
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.
Sejal boš, toda ne boš žel; tlačil olive, toda z oljem se ne boš mazilil; in sladko vino, toda vina ne boš pil.
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.
Kajti držijo se Omrijevih zakonov in vseh del Ahábove hiše in vi se ravnate po njihovih nasvetih, da bi te naredil za opustošenje in njegove prebivalce za posmeh. Zatorej boste nosili grajo mojega ljudstva.
