Micah 6
1 Hear all of you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend you before 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 all of you, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and all of you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he 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 unto you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
“Narode moj, što sam ti učinio? Čime sam te zamorio? Odgovori mi.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
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 Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that all of you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
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 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with 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 be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, 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 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with 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 cries unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name: hear all of you the rod, and who has appointed it.
Jahvin glas viče gradu: “Slušajte, vi plemenjaci i sabore gradski!
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Zar mogu podnositi krivo stečeno blago i patvorenu efu prokletu?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Mogu li opravdati onoga koji se služi mjerom krivom, vrećom krivotvorenih utega?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Bogataši vaši puni su okrutnosti, stanovnici vaši laž govore, varljiv je jezik u njihovim ustima!
13 Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
Zato sam te i ja počeo udarati, tamaniti zbog grijeha tvojih.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in the midst of you; and you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver will I give up 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 tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
Sijat ćeš, ali nećeš žeti; tijestit ćeš maslinu, a ulja neće biti; gazit ćeš mošt, a vina nećeš piti.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and all of you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore all of you shall bear the reproach of my people.
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.”
