Micah 6
1 Now hear that which YHWH is saying: “Rise—strive with the mountains, And cause the hills to hear your voice.
Čujte, dakle, riječ koju govori Jahve: “Ustani! Povedi parnicu pred gorama, i neka bregovi čuju tvoj glas!”
2 Hear, O mountains, the strife of YHWH, You strong ones—foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to YHWH, with His people, And with Israel He reasons.
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? And how 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 from the land of Egypt, And I have ransomed you from the house of servants, And I send Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
Ja sam tebe izveo iz zemlje egipatske, izbavio te iz kuće ropstva; poslao sam pred tobom Mojsija, Arona i Mirjamu.
5 O My people, please remember What Balak king of Moab counseled, What Balaam son of Beor answered him (From Shittim to Gilgal), In order to know the righteous acts of YHWH.”
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 With what do I come before YHWH? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves—sons of a year?
“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 Is YHWH pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do 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 declared to you, O man, what [is] good; Indeed, what is YHWH requiring of you, Except—to do judgment, and love kindness, And to walk lowly 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 A voice of YHWH calls to the city, And wisdom fears Your Name, “Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
Jahvin glas viče gradu: “Slušajte, vi plemenjaci i sabore gradski!
10 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred meager ephah?
Zar mogu podnositi krivo stečeno blago i patvorenu efu prokletu?
11 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
Mogu li opravdati onoga koji se služi mjerom krivom, vrećom krivotvorenih utega?
12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Bogataši vaši puni su okrutnosti, stanovnici vaši laž govore, varljiv je jezik u njihovim ustima!
13 And I also, I have begun to strike you, To make desolate, because of your sins.
Zato sam te i ja počeo udarati, tamaniti zbog grijeha tvojih.
14 You eat, and you are not satisfied, And your pit [is] in your midst, And you remove, and do not deliver, And that which you deliver, I give to a 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 sow, and you do not reap, You tread the olive, And you do not pour out oil, And new wine—and you do not drink wine.
Sijat ćeš, ali nećeš žeti; tijestit ćeš maslinu, a ulja neće biti; gazit ćeš mošt, a vina nećeš piti.
16 And the statutes of Omri are kept habitually, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And you walk in their counsels, For My giving you for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And you 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.”
