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.
Ouvi agora o que o SENHOR diz: Levanta-te, briga com os montes, e ouçam os morros a tua voz.
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.
Ouvi vós, montes, e vós, fortes fundamentos da terra, a briga do SENHOR; porque o SENHOR tem uma briga judicial com seu povo, e disputará judicialmente com Israel.
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!
Ó povo meu, o que eu tenho feito a ti? Em que eu te incomodei? Responde-me.
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.
Pois eu te fiz subir da terra do Egito, e da casa de escravidão eu te livrei; e enviei diante de ti a Moisés, Arão, e Miriã.
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.”
Ó povo meu, lembra-te agora do Balaque, rei de Moabe, planejou, e do que Balaão, filho de Beor, lhe respondeu, [e do que aconteceu] desde Sitim até Gilgal, para que conheças as justiças do SENHOR.
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]?
Com que me encontrarei com o SENHOR, [e] adorarei ao alto Deus? Virei diante ele com holocaustos, com bezerros de um ano?
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]?”
O SENHOR se agradará de milhares de carneiros, [ou] de dez mil ribeiros de azeite? Darei meu primogênito por minha transgressão, o fruto de meu ventre pelo pecado de minha alma?
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.
Ele já declarou a ti, ó ser humano, o que é bom; e que mais o SENHOR pede de ti, a não ser fazer o que é justo, amar a bondade, e andar humildemente com teu Deus?
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.
A voz do SENHOR clama à cidade (e sábio é temer o teu nome): Ouvi a vara, e a quem a estabeleceu.
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.
Não há ainda na casa do perverso riquezas da perversidade, e medida enganosamente menor, o que é abominável?
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?
Posso eu tolerar [quem tem] balanças falsas e bolsa de pesos enganosos?
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.
Pois seus ricos estão cheios de violência, e seus moradores falaram mentiras, e suas línguas são enganosas em suas bocas.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Por isso eu também [te] enfraquecerei, ferindo-te e assolando-te por teus pecados.
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 comerás, mas não te saciarás; e fome haverá no meio de ti; tu pegarás, mas não levarás [contigo]; e o que levares, eu [o] entregarei à espada.
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 semearás, mas não colherás; pisarás azeitonas, mas não te ungirás com óleo; [pisarás] uvas, mas não beberás vinho.
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.’”
Pois são os mandamentos de Onri, e todas as obras da casa de Acabe, que são obedecidos; e vós praticais seus conselhos. Por isso eu te tornarei desolada, e teus moradores serão motivo de assovio. Assim levareis a humilhação de meu povo.
