Micah 6
1 Listen now to what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Geenụ ntị nʼihe Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Bilienụ ọtọ, ma kwuonụ nʼihu ugwu niile ụzọ m siri mejọọ unu. Ka ugwu nta niile nụkwa ihe i nwere ikwu.
2 Hear, you mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
“Ma ugbu a geenụ ntị, unu ugwu niile, geenụ ntị, unu ntọala ebighị ebi niile nke ụwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere ikpe megide ndị nke ya. Ọ bụkwa Izrel ka ọ ga-arụso ụka.
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me.
“Unu bụ ndị m, gịnị ka m mere unu? Gwanụ m ụzọ m si boo unu ibu arọ? Zaanụ m.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Nʼihi na e si m nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu. Agbapụtara m unu site na ịbụ ohu, nye unu Mosis na Erọn na Miriam ka ha nyere unu aka.
5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."
Ndị m, chetanụ ihe Balak eze Moab zubere na ihe Belam nwa Beoa zara ya. Chetanụ njem unu site nʼobodo Shitim ruo obodo Gilgal, ka unu hụ nzọpụta nke Onyenwe anyị.”
6 How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Gịnị ka m ga-eji bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ịkpọ isiala nʼihu Chineke onye dị oke elu? M ga-eji onyinye aja nsure ọkụ bịa nʼihu ya nke e ji ụmụ ehi gbara otu afọ chụọ?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Ọ ga-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, bụ ọtụtụ puku ebule, ya na iri puku mmanụ na-asọ dịka iyi? Aga m eji nwa mbụ m chụọ aja njehie m, maọbụ mkpụrụ nke ahụ m chụọ aja maka mmehie nke mkpụrụobi m?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Nʼihi na o gosila gị, gị mmadụ, ihe dị mma. Gịnịkwa bụ ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị na-achọ nʼaka gị, Ọ bụ na ọ bụghị ikpe ziri ezi, na ịhụ ime ebere nʼanya, na iji obi dị umeala soro Chineke gị na-eje ije?
9 The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
Gee ntị! Olu Onyenwe anyị na-ada na-akpọku ndị obodo ahụ, nʼezie, ịtụ egwu gị bụ inwe amamihe. “Nụrụnụ olu mkpanaka na Onye hiwere ya.
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
Ọ ga-abụ na m ga-echezọ akụ ị kpara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi, gị ụlọ ajọ omume, ya na ihe ọtụtụ nke na-erughị eru unu ji ere ahịa, bụ nke abụrụ ọnụ?
11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
M ga-asị onye na-eji ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ azụ ahịa, na onye bu akpa nke ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ dị iche iche juru nʼime ya na aka ya dị ọcha?
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Ndị ọgaranya unu bụ ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị mmadụ nọ nʼime gị na-agha ụgha, ire ha na-ekwu naanị okwu aghụghọ.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Nʼihi ya, ebidola m ịla unu nʼiyi, na ime ka unu bụrụ ndị e bibiri nʼihi mmehie unu
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
Unu ga-eri nri ma afọ agaghị eju unu; afọ agaghị ejukwa unu eju. Unu ga-ewezuga ihe, ma unu agaghị echekwa ha, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla unu nwere ike chekwaa, ka m ga-ewere nyefee nʼaka mma agha.
15 You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't drink the wine.
Unu ga-akụ mkpụrụ, ma unu agaghị ewe ihe ubi, unu ga-azọchapụta mmanụ oliv, ma unu agaghị ete ya nʼahụ unu; unu ga-azọchapụtakwa mmanya site na mkpụrụ vaịnị, ma unu agaghị aṅụ mmanya ya.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
Unu edebela ụkpụrụ niile bụ nke Omri, na omenaala niile nke ụlọ Ehab, unu gbasokwara ndụmọdụ ha niile. Nʼihi ya, aga m enyefe unu nʼaka mbibi mee ka ndị gị ghọọkwa ihe ọchị, unu ga-aghọkwara mba niile ihe nkọcha.”
