Micah 6
1 Pay attention to what Yahweh says [to you Israeli people]: “Stand up [in court] and state what you are accusing [me] about. And allow the hills and mountains to hear what you will say.
Écoutez donc la parole: Le Seigneur, le Seigneur a dit: Lève-toi, annonce le jugement aux montagnes, et que les collines entendent ta voix!
2 [But then] you mountains must [also] listen [carefully] [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining [about my people]. I have something to say about what [DOU] my Israeli people are doing that displeases me.
Écoutez, montagnes, le jugement du Seigneur, et vous aussi, vallées, fondements de la terre; car le Seigneur vient en jugement devant Son peuple, et Il plaidera avec Israël.
3 My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
Mon peuple, que t'ai-Je fait? En quoi t'ai-Je contristé? En qui t'ai-Je déplu? Réponds-Moi.
4 I [did great things for your ancestors]; I brought them out of Egypt; I rescued them from that land where they were slaves. I sent Moses to [lead] them, and [his older brother] Aaron and [his older sister] Miriam.
Est-ce parce que Je t'ai fait sortir de la terre d'Égypte, que Je t'ai affranchi de la maison de servitude, et que J'ai envoyé devant toi Moïse, Aaron et Marie?
5 My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam [to curse your ancestors], and think about what Balaam replied. Think about [how your ancestors crossed the Jordan River miraculously while] they were traveling from Acacia to Gilgal. [Think about those things in order] that you may know that [I], Yahweh, do what is right.”
Mon peuple, souviens-toi donc de ce qu'a médité contre toi Balac, roi de Moab, et de la réponse que lui a rapportée Balaam, fils de Béor, depuis Sétim jusqu'à Galgala, afin que l'on connût la justice du Seigneur.
6 [The Israeli people ask, ] “What shall we bring to Yahweh [who lives in] heaven when we come to him and bow down before him? Should we bring calves that are a year-old that will be offerings that will be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar]?
Comment prendrai-je le Seigneur? Comment serai-je agréable à mon Dieu très-haut? Le prendrai-je par des holocaustes, par des veaux d'un an?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased [if we offer to him] 1,000 rams and 10,000 streams of [olive] oil? Should we offer our firstborn children [to be sacrifices] to pay for the sins that we have committed [DOU]?”
Le Seigneur accueillera-t-Il des milliers de béliers, des myriades de chèvres grasses? Donnerai-je, pour mes impiétés, les premiers-nés de mes troupeaux, et, pour les péchés de mon âme, le fruit de mes entrailles?
8 [No, because] he has shown each of us what is good [to do]; he has shown [RHQ] us what he requires each of us [to do]: He wants us to do what is just/fair and to love and to be merciful [to others], and [he wants us] to live humbly [while we fellowship] with him, our God.
Ô homme, faut-il te dire ce qui est bon? Est-ce que le Seigneur demande de toi quelque chose, sinon que tu pratiques la justice, que tu aimes la miséricorde, et que tu sois prêt à cheminer avec le Seigneur ton Dieu?
9 “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me. I am calling out to [you people of] Jerusalem, ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming, so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
La voix du Seigneur sera invoquée dans la ville, et sauvera ceux qui craignent Son Nom. Écoute, tribu: Qui donc mettra l'ordre en ta cité?
10 Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things that you acquired by cheating [others]? Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you used false measures [when you bought and sold things]? Those are things that I hate.
Est-ce le feu? Est-ce la maison de l'impie amassant des trésors iniques, avec une insolente impiété?
11 [Do you think] that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly, and who use weights that are not accurate?
Sera-t-il absous, l'homme injuste avec ses fausses balances et ses faux poids en un sac?
12 The rich people among you always act violently [to get money from poor people]. All of the people [in Jerusalem] are liars, and they [SYN] always deceive people.
Car c'est ainsi que ceux qui demeurent dans la ville ont amassé leurs richesses impies; et ils ne disent que des mensonges, et dans leur bouche leur langue s'est enorgueillie.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Et Moi Je commencerai par te frapper, et Je t'effacerai à cause de tes crimes.
14 [Soon] you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you; your stomachs will [still feel as though they are] empty. You will try to save up [money], but you will not be able to save anything, because I will send your enemies to take it from you in wars [MTY].
Tu mangeras, et ne seras point rassasié, et il y aura sur toi des ténèbres; et le Seigneur Se détournera; tu ne seras point sauvée; et ceux qui échapperont seront livrés au glaive.
15 You will plant [seeds], but you will not harvest [anything]. You will press olives, but [others], not you, will use the [olive] oil. You will trample on grapes [and make wine from the juice], but [others], not you, will drink the wine.
Tu sèmeras et ne moissonneras pas; tu pressureras l'olive, et tu ne seras pas oint de son huile; tu pressureras la grappe, et tu n'en boiras pas le vin; et les lois de Mon peuple seront abolies.
16 [Those things will happen to you because] you obey [only] the wicked laws of [King] Omri, and [you do the terrible things that wicked King] Ahab and his descendants commanded. So, I will destroy your [country], and I will cause your people to be despised; people [of other nations] will insult you.’”
Car tu as gardé les ordonnances de Zambri, et toutes les œuvres de la maison d'Achab; et tu as marché dans toutes leurs voies, pour que Je te livre, toi, à la destruction et aux sifflets de tes habitants; et vous recueillerez les opprobres des peuples.
