Micah 6

1 Hear please [that] which Yahweh [is] saying arise conduct a case with the mountains so they may hear the hills voice your.

Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

2 Hear O mountains [the] case of Yahweh and O enduring [ones] [the] foundations of [the] earth for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with people his and with Israel he will argue.

Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

3 O people my what? have I done to you and what? have I made weary you testify against me.

‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!

4 For I brought up you from [the] land of Egypt and from a house of slaves I ransomed you and I sent before you Moses Aaron and Miriam.

For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.

5 O people my remember please what? did he plan Balak [the] king of Moab and what? did he answer him Balaam [the] son of Beor from Shittim to Gilgal so as to know [the] righteousness of Yahweh.

My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”

6 With what? will I come to meet Yahweh will I bend myself down? to [the] God of height ¿ will I come to meet him with burnt offerings with calves sons of a year.

With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

7 ¿ Will he take pleasure Yahweh in thousands of rams in tens of thousands of torrents of oil ¿ will I give firstborn my transgression my [the] fruit of belly my [the] sin of self my.

Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has told to you O humankind what? [is] good and what? [is] Yahweh requiring from you that except to do justice and to love covenant loyalty and to be modest to walk with God your.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9 [the] voice of Yahweh to the city it calls out and success it will see name your hear O tribe and whoever he appointed it.

The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.

10 Still ¿ [are] there house of [the] wicked treasures of wickedness and an ephah of scantness accursed.

Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

11 ¿ Will I be clear with balances of wickedness and with a bag of weights of deceit.

Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?

12 Which rich [people] its they are full violence and inhabitants its they speak falsehood and tongue their [is] deceit in mouth their.

For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

13 And also I I will make sick [by] striking you I will make desolate [you] on sins your.

Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.

14 You you will eat and not you will be satisfied and emptiness your [will be] in midst your and you will carry away and not you will bring to safety and [that] which you will bring to safety to the sword I will give.

You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.

15 You you will sow and not you will reap you you will tread olive[s] and not you will anoint yourself oil and new wine and not you will drink wine.

You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.

16 So may be kept [the] statutes of Omri and every deed of [the] house of Ahab and you have walked in schemes their so as to make I you into a horror and inhabitants its into hissing and [the] reproach of people my you will bear.

You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
