Micah 6
1 Now hear that which YHWH is saying: “Rise—strive with the mountains, And cause the hills to hear your voice.
Hør, hvad HERREN taler: Kom fremfør din Trætte for Bjergene, lad Højene høre din Røst!
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.
I Bjerge, hør HERRENs Trætte, lyt til, I Jordens Grundvolde! Thi HERREN har Trætte med sit Folk, med Israel går han i Rette:
3 O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
Hvad har jeg gjort dig, mit Folk. med hvad har jeg plaget dig? Svar!
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.
Jeg førte dig jo op fra Ægypten og udløste dig af Trællehuset, og jeg sendte for dit Ansigt Moses, Aron og Mirjam.
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.”
Mit Folk, kom i Hu, hvad Kong Balak af Moab havde i Sinde, og hvad Bileam, Beors Søn, svarede ham, fra Sjittim til Gilgal, for at du kan kende HERRENs Retfærdsgerninger.
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?
"Med hvad skal jeg møde HERREN, bøje mig for Højhedens Gud? Skal jeg møde ham med Brændofre, møde med årgamle Kalve?
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?
Har HERREN Behag i Tusinder af Vædre, Titusinder af Oliestrømme? Skal jeg give min førstefødte for min Synd, mit Livs Frugt som Bod for min Sjæl?"
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?
Det er sagt dig, o Menneske, hvad der er godt, og hvad HERREN kræver af dig: hvad andet end at øve Ret, gerne vise Kærlighed og vandre ydmygt med din Gud.
9 A voice of YHWH calls to the city, And wisdom fears Your Name, “Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
Hør, HERREN råber til Byen (at frygte dit Navn er Visdom): Hør, Stamme og Byens Menighed!
10 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred meager ephah?
Skal jeg tåle Skattene i den gudløses Hus og den magre, forbandede Efa,
11 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
tilgive Gudløsheds Vægt og Pungen med falske Lodder?
12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Dens Rigmænd er fulde af Vold, dens Borgeres Tale er Løgn, og Tungen er falsk i deres Mund.
13 And I also, I have begun to strike you, To make desolate, because of your sins.
Derfor tog jeg til at slå dig, ødelægge dig for dine Synder.
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.
Du skal spise, men ikke mættes, lige tomt skal dit Indre være; hvad du hengemmer, skal du ej bjærge, og hvad du bjærger, giver jeg Sværdet;
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.
du skal så, men ikke høste, perse Oliven, men ikke salve dig, perse Most, men ej drikke Vin.
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!”
Du fulgte Omris Skikke, al Akabs Huses Færd; I vandrede efter deres Råd, så jeg må gøre dig til Ørk og Byens Borgere til Spot; Folkenes Hån skal I bære.
