Michaeas 6
1 Hear now a word: the Lord God has said; Arise, plead with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
Čujte, dakle, riječ koju govori Jahve: “Ustani! Povedi parnicu pred gorama, i neka bregovi čuju tvoj glas!”
2 Hear you, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and [you] valleys [even] the foundations of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with his people, and will plead with Israel.
Slušajte, gore, parnicu Jahvinu, čujte, temelji zemaljski, jer Jahve se parbi s narodom svojim, on se parniči s Izraelom:
3 O my people, what have I done to you? or wherein have I grieved you? or wherein have I troubled you? answer me.
“Narode moj, što sam ti učinio? Čime sam te zamorio? Odgovori mi.
4 For I brought tee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, and sent before you Moses, and Aaron, and Mariam.
Ja sam tebe izveo iz zemlje egipatske, izbavio te iz kuće ropstva; poslao sam pred tobom Mojsija, Arona i Mirjamu.
5 O my people, remember now, what counsel Balac king of Moab took against you, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from the reeds to Galgal; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known.
Narode moj, sjeti se sada: Što je bio naumio Balak, kralj moapski? Što je njemu odgovorio Bileam, sin Beorov? ...od Šitima do Gilgala, da poznaš pravedna djela Jahvina.”
6 Wherewithal shall I reach the Lord, [and] lay hold of my God most high? shall I reach him by whole burnt offerings, by calves of a year old?
“S čime ću doći pred Jahvu, hoću li pasti ničice pred Bogom Svevišnjim? Hoću li doći preda nj sa žrtvom paljenicom, s teocima od jedne godine?
7 Will the Lord accept thousands of rams, or ten thousands of fat goats? should I give my firstborn for ungodliness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Hoće li mu biti mile tisuće ovnova, tisuće tisuća potokÄa ulja? Treba li prinijeti sina prvorođenog zbog svoga zločina, plod svoje utrobe zbog grijeha koji sam počinio?”
8 Has it [not] been told you, O man, what [is] good? or what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord your God?
“Objavljeno ti je, čovječe, što je dobro, što Jahve traži od tebe: samo činiti pravicu, milosrđe ljubiti i smjerno sa svojim Bogom hoditi.”
9 The Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?
Jahvin glas viče gradu: “Slušajte, vi plemenjaci i sabore gradski!
10 [Is there] not fire, and the house of the wicked heaping up wicked treasures, and [that] with the pride of unrighteousness?
Zar mogu podnositi krivo stečeno blago i patvorenu efu prokletu?
11 Shall the wicked be justified by the balanced, or deceitful weights in the bag,
Mogu li opravdati onoga koji se služi mjerom krivom, vrećom krivotvorenih utega?
12 whereby they have accumulated their ungodly wealth, and they that dwell in the city have uttered falsehoods, and their tongue has been exalted in their mouth?
Bogataši vaši puni su okrutnosti, stanovnici vaši laž govore, varljiv je jezik u njihovim ustima!
13 Therefore will I begin to strike you; I will destroy you in your sins.
Zato sam te i ja počeo udarati, tamaniti zbog grijeha tvojih.
14 You shall eat, and shall not be satisfied; and there shall be darkness upon you; and he shall depart from [you], and you shall not escape; and all that shall escape shall be delivered over to the sword.
Jest ćeš, a nećeš se nasititi, gladan ćeš ostati; stavljat ćeš na stranu, a ništa nećeš sačuvati; ako što i sačuvaš, ja ću maču predati.
15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall press the olive, but you shall not anoint yourself with oil; and [shall make] wine, but you shall drink no wine: and the ordinances of my people shall be utterly abolished.
Sijat ćeš, ali nećeš žeti; tijestit ćeš maslinu, a ulja neće biti; gazit ćeš mošt, a vina nećeš piti.
16 For you have kept the statues of Zambri, and [done] all the works of the house of Achaab; and you have walked in their ways, that I might deliver you to utter destruction, and those that inhabit the city to hissing: and you shall bear the reproach of nations.
Držiš se zakona Omrijevih i svih djela doma Ahabova, živiš po osnovama njihovim: učinit ću od tebe pustinju, od žitelja tvojih porugu, da nosite sramotu mnogih naroda.”
