< 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.
Mise nya si gblɔm Yehowa le na eƒe dukɔ: “Tsi tsitre, nàgblɔ nya siwo nètsɔ ɖe ŋutinye. Towo kple togbɛwo nanye ɖasefowo na nya siwo nètsɔ ɖe ŋutinye.
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.
“Azɔ la, mi towo, miɖo to miase nya siwo Yehowa tsɔ ɖe mia ŋuti. Miɖo to, mi anyigba ƒe agunu mavɔwo, elabena Yehowa tsɔ nya ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋuti eye wòtsɔ nya ɖe Israel ŋu.
3 O people my what? have I done to you and what? have I made weary you testify against me.
“O, nye dukɔ, nu ka mewɔ wò? Fu ka meɖe na wò? Ɖo eŋu nam!
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.
Elabena nyee kplɔ wò tso Egipte eye meɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me. Medɔ Mose, Aron kple Miriam be woakplɔ mi.
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.
Nye dukɔ, ɖo ŋku aɖaŋu si Moab fia, Balak, ɖo kple ale si Balaam, Beor ƒe vi la ɖo eŋu nɛ la dzi. Ɖo ŋku wò mɔzɔzɔ tso Sitim yi Gilgal la dzi, be nàdze si Yehowa ƒe nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔwo.”
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.
Nu ka matsɔ ɖe asi ado ɖe Yehowa gbɔ eye made ta agu ɖe Mawu dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋkume? Matsɔ nyivi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka la asa numevɔ nɛa?
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.
Ɖe agbo akpewo kple amitɔsisi akpe akpewo adze Yehowa ŋua? Ɖe matsɔ nye ŋgɔgbevi asa vɔe ɖe nye dzidadawo ta kple nye dɔmevi ɖe nye luʋɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta mahã?
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.
O amegbetɔ, egblɔ nu si nyo la na wò. Nu ka Yehowa di tso asiwò? Be nàwɔ nu si le eteƒe, alɔ̃ nublanuikpɔkpɔ eye nàzɔ kple wò Mawu la le ɖokuibɔbɔ me.

“Miɖo to! Yehowa le Yerusalem dua katã yɔm. Ame si vɔa wò ŋkɔ la, nunyalae. Miɖo to ameƒoti la kple Ame si dɔe ɖa.
10 Still ¿ [are] there house of [the] wicked treasures of wickedness and an ephah of scantness accursed.
O, aƒe vɔ̃ɖi! Ɖe maŋlɔ wò kesinɔnu madzɔmadzɔ kple nudotre sue si dzi fiƒode le la bea?
11 ¿ Will I be clear with balances of wickedness and with a bag of weights of deceit.
Ɖe matso afia na ame aɖe ne nudanu madzɔmadzɔ le esi eye nudakpe amebatɔwo yɔ akplo me nɛ fũua?
12 Which rich [people] its they are full violence and inhabitants its they speak falsehood and tongue their [is] deceit in mouth their.
Miaƒe kesinɔtɔwo yɔ fũu kple ŋutasẽse eye miaƒe dukɔmeviwo daa alakpa eye amebeble le aɖe dzi na wo.
13 And also I I will make sick [by] striking you I will make desolate [you] on sins your.
Eya ta nye hã matsrɔ̃ wò, agbã wò gudugudu ɖe wò nu vɔ̃wo ta.
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.
Àɖu nu, ke màɖi ƒo o, eye dɔ anɔ wuwòm ɖaa. Àdzra nu gbogbowo ɖo, ke naneke masusɔ na wò o, elabena ne ɖe susɔ gɔ̃ hã la, matsɔe ade asi na yi.
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.
Àƒã nu, ke màŋe nu o; àɖa ami, gake màkpɔ ami asi o; àfia waintsetse, ke màkpɔ wain ano o.
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.
Miewɔ nu ɖe Omri ƒe sewo nu eye miewɔ Ahab ƒe aƒe la ƒe nuwɔnawo katã. Miedze woƒe nuɖoanyiwo yome eya ta matsɔ mi ade asi na gbegblẽ eye wò amewo azu alɔmeɖenu; ale dukɔwo ƒe vlododo ava dziwò.”
