< Micah 6 >

1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
Winj gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Chungʼ malo, ket kwayoni e nyim gode; thuche mondo owinj wach ma in-go.
2 Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with Israel.
“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.
3 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
“Un joga en angʼo ma asetimonu? Asemiyou tingʼ mapek e yo mane? Dwokauru ane.
4 Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Ne agolou e piny Misri kendo agonyou thuolo e piny wasumbini. Ne aoro Musa, mondo otelnu, bende naoro Harun gi Miriam.
5 O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
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.”
6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
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?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
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?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke with thy God.
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.
9 The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
Winjuru! Luong Jehova Nyasaye ne dala maduongʼ chutho luoro nyingi en rieko. “Yie kum momiyi kaachiel gi ngʼama ochiwe.
10 Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
Yaye oganda ma timbegi mono, bende wiya pod diwil awila gi mwandu-u muyudo e yor mecho, kod giu mag pimo mokwongʼ?
11 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
Bende dagony ngʼat man-gi rapim mag mayo ji gi gorogoro modi?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
Joge machwo momewo gin joma ohero lweny. To joge mamoko duto gin jo-miriambo kendo lewgi wacho miriambo.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
Kuom mano, asechako tiekou, kendo asechako kethou nikech richou.
14 Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
Ubiro chiemo to ok unuyiengʼ; unusik mana ka udenyo. Unukan gik moko to ok ginikonyu, nikech gik mukano nachiwne jowasiku.
15 Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke wine.
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.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche of my people.
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.”
