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.
Waan Waaqayyo jedhu dhaggeeffadhaa: “Ol kakkaʼaatii fuula tulluuwwanii duratti dubbii keessan dhiʼeeffadhaa; gaarranis waan isin jettan haa dhagaʼan.
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.
“Yaa tulluuwwan himata Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa; hundeewwan lafaa kanneen bara baraa isinis dhaggeeffadhaa. Waaqayyo saba isaa irraa dubbii qabaatii; inni Israaʼel wajjin falmii qaba.
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me.
“Yaa saba ko, ani maalan si godhe? Ani maaliinan si dadhabsiise? Mee deebii naaf kenni.
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.
Ani biyya Gibxii sin baasee biyya garbummaa keessaa sin fure. Ani akka inni si qajeelchuuf Musee, akkasumas Aroonii fi Miiriyaamin siifan erge.
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."
Yaa saba ko, mee gorsa Baalaaq mootiin Moʼaab gaafatee fi deebii Balaʼaam ilmi Beʼoor kenneef yaadadhu. Ati akka hojii qajeelummaa Waaqayyoo beektuuf karaa ati Shixiimii hamma Gilgaalitti deemte sana yaadadhu.”
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?
Ani maaliinan fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhufee fuula Waaqa ol gubbaa jiruu duratti sagada? Ani aarsaa gubamuun, jabbii waggaa tokkootiin fuula isaa duratti dhiʼaadhuu?
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?
Waaqayyo korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma hedduutti, zayitii laga kuma kudhaniitti ni gammadaa? Ani ilma koo hangafa, sababii yakka kootiitiif, sababii cubbuu lubbuu kootiitiifis dhala garaa koo aarsaa dhiʼeessuu?
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?
Yaa nama, inni waan gaarii si argisiiseera. Waaqayyo maal sirraa barbaada? Murtii qajeelaa kennuu fi araara jaallachuu, akka ati gad of qabdee Waaqa kee wajjin deemtu sirraa barbaada mitii?
9 The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
Isin dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyo akkana jedhee magaalattii waama: Maqaa kee sodaachuun ogummaa dha; “Ulee fi Isa ulee sana filate qalbeeffadhaa.
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
Yaa mana hamaa, ani qabeenya isin dabaan argattanii fi madaalii sobaa abaaramaa sana irraanfadhaa?
11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
Ani nama madaallii sobaatiin hojjetuu fi kan madaalii sobaa korojootti baatu akkasumatti dhiisaa?
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Sooreyyiin ishee jalʼoota; uummanni ishee sobdoota; arrabni isaaniis gowwoomsaa dubbata.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Kanaafuu ani sababii cubbuu keessaniitiif isin diigee, isin balleessuu jalqabeera.
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.
Ati inuma nyaatta; garuu hin quuftu; garaan kee amma illee duwwaa dha. Ati ni kaaʼatta; garuu homaa siif hin kuufamu; waan ati kuufattu sana ani goraadeetti kennaatii.
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.
Ati ni facaafatta; garuu hin haammattu; ejersa ni cuunfatta; garuu zayitii isaa hin dibattu; ija wayinii ni cuunfatta; garuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugdu.
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."
Ati sirna Omriitii fi hojii mana Ahaab hunda jabeessiteerta; gorsa isaaniis duukaa buuteerta. Kanaafuu ani si balleessee, uummata kee nan salphisa; isin tuffii sabootaa ni baattu.”
