< 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 a word: the Lord God has said; Arise, plead with the mountains, and let the hills hear thy 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 ye, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and [ye] valleys [even] the foundations of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with his people, and will plead with Israel.
3 O people my what? have I done to you and what? have I made weary you testify against me.
O my people, what have I done to thee? or wherein have I grieved thee? or wherein have I troubled thee? answer me.
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 tee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and sent before thee Moses, and Aaron, and Mariam.
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.
O my people, remember now, what counsel Balac king of Moab took against thee, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from the reeds to Galgal; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known.
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.
Wherewithal shall I reach the Lord, [and] lay hold of my God most high? shall I reach him by whole-burnt-offerings, by calves of a year old?
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.
Will the Lord accept thousands of rams, or ten thousands of fat goats? should I give my first-born for ungodliness, 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.
Has it [not] been told thee, O man, what [is] good? or what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord thy 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 Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?
10 Still ¿ [are] there house of [the] wicked treasures of wickedness and an ephah of scantness accursed.
[Is there] not fire, and the house of the wicked heaping up wicked treasures, and [that] with the pride of unrighteousness?
11 ¿ Will I be clear with balances of wickedness and with a bag of weights of deceit.
Shall the wicked be justified by the balanced, or deceitful weights in the bag,
12 Which rich [people] its they are full violence and inhabitants its they speak falsehood and tongue their [is] deceit in mouth their.
whereby they have accumulated their ungodly wealth, and they that dwell in the city have uttered falsehoods, and their tongue has been exalted in their mouth?
13 And also I I will make sick [by] striking you I will make desolate [you] on sins your.
Therefore will I begin to smite thee; I will destroy thee in thy 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.
Thou shalt eat, and shalt not be satisfied; and there shall be darkness upon thee; and he shall depart from [thee], and thou shalt not escape; and all that shall escape shall be delivered over 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.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt press the olive, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil; and [shalt make] wine, but ye shall drink no wine: and the ordinances of my people shall be utterly abolished.
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.
For thou hast kept the statues of Zambri, and [done] all the works of the house of Achaab; and ye have walked in their ways, that I might deliver thee to utter destruction, and those that inhabit the city to hissing: and ye shall bear the reproach of nations.
