Micah 6
1 Now listen to what Yahweh says, “Arise and state your case before the mountains; let the hills hear your voice.
Geenụ ntị nʼihe Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, “Bilienụ ọtọ, ma kwuonụ nʼihu ugwu niile ụzọ m siri mejọọ unu. Ka ugwu nta niile nụkwa ihe i nwere ikwu.
2 Listen to Yahweh's lawsuit, you mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth. For Yahweh has a lawsuit with his people, and he will fight in court against Israel.”
“Ma ugbu a geenụ ntị, unu ugwu niile, geenụ ntị, unu ntọala ebighị ebi niile nke ụwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nwere ikpe megide ndị nke ya. Ọ bụkwa Izrel ka ọ ga-arụso ụka.
3 “My people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Testify against me!
“Unu bụ ndị m, gịnị ka m mere unu? Gwanụ m ụzọ m si boo unu ibu arọ? Zaanụ m.
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and rescued you out of the house of bondage. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to you.
Nʼihi na e si m nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta unu. Agbapụtara m unu site na ịbụ ohu, nye unu Mosis na Erọn na Miriam ka ha nyere unu aka.
5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and how Balaam son of Beor answered him as you went from Shittim to Gilgal, so you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
Ndị m, chetanụ ihe Balak eze Moab zubere na ihe Belam nwa Beoa zara ya. Chetanụ njem unu site nʼobodo Shitim ruo obodo Gilgal, ka unu hụ nzọpụta nke Onyenwe anyị.”
6 What should I bring to Yahweh, as I bow down to the high God? Should I come to him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Gịnị ka m ga-eji bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ịkpọ isiala nʼihu Chineke onye dị oke elu? M ga-eji onyinye aja nsure ọkụ bịa nʼihu ya nke e ji ụmụ ehi gbara otu afọ chụọ?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for my own sin?
Ọ ga-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, bụ ọtụtụ puku ebule, ya na iri puku mmanụ na-asọ dịka iyi? Aga m eji nwa mbụ m chụọ aja njehie m, maọbụ mkpụrụ nke ahụ m chụọ aja maka mmehie nke mkpụrụobi m?
8 He has told you, man, what is good, and what Yahweh requires from you: Act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.
Nʼihi na o gosila gị, gị mmadụ, ihe dị mma. Gịnịkwa bụ ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị na-achọ nʼaka gị, Ọ bụ na ọ bụghị ikpe ziri ezi, na ịhụ ime ebere nʼanya, na iji obi dị umeala soro Chineke gị na-eje ije?
9 The voice of Yahweh is making a proclamation to the city— even now wisdom acknowledges your name: “Pay attention to the rod, and to the one who has put it in place.
Gee ntị! Olu Onyenwe anyị na-ada na-akpọku ndị obodo ahụ, nʼezie, ịtụ egwu gị bụ inwe amamihe. “Nụrụnụ olu mkpanaka na Onye hiwere ya.
10 There is wealth in the houses of the wicked that is dishonest, and false measures that are abominable.
Ọ ga-abụ na m ga-echezọ akụ ị kpara nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi, gị ụlọ ajọ omume, ya na ihe ọtụtụ nke na-erughị eru unu ji ere ahịa, bụ nke abụrụ ọnụ?
11 Should I consider a person to be innocent if he uses fraudulent scales, with a bag of deceptive weights?
M ga-asị onye na-eji ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ azụ ahịa, na onye bu akpa nke ihe ọtụtụ aghụghọ dị iche iche juru nʼime ya na aka ya dị ọcha?
12 The rich men are full of violence, the inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue in their mouth is deceitful.
Ndị ọgaranya unu bụ ndị na-eme ihe ike, ndị mmadụ nọ nʼime gị na-agha ụgha, ire ha na-ekwu naanị okwu aghụghọ.
13 Therefore I will strike you with a terrible blow, and I will make you desolate because of your sins.
Nʼihi ya, ebidola m ịla unu nʼiyi, na ime ka unu bụrụ ndị e bibiri nʼihi mmehie unu
14 You will eat but not be satisfied; your emptiness will remain inside you. You will store goods away but not save, and what you do save I will give to the sword.
Unu ga-eri nri ma afọ agaghị eju unu; afọ agaghị ejukwa unu eju. Unu ga-ewezuga ihe, ma unu agaghị echekwa ha, nʼihi na ihe ọbụla unu nwere ike chekwaa, ka m ga-ewere nyefee nʼaka mma agha.
15 You will sow but not reap; you will tread the olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will press grapes but drink no wine.
Unu ga-akụ mkpụrụ, ma unu agaghị ewe ihe ubi, unu ga-azọchapụta mmanụ oliv, ma unu agaghị ete ya nʼahụ unu; unu ga-azọchapụtakwa mmanya site na mkpụrụ vaịnị, ma unu agaghị aṅụ mmanya ya.
16 The regulations made by Omri have been kept, and all the deeds of the house of Ahab. You walk by their advice. So I will make you, city, a ruin, and you inhabitants an object of hissing, and you will bear the reproach of my people.”
Unu edebela ụkpụrụ niile bụ nke Omri, na omenaala niile nke ụlọ Ehab, unu gbasokwara ndụmọdụ ha niile. Nʼihi ya, aga m enyefe unu nʼaka mbibi mee ka ndị gị ghọọkwa ihe ọchị, unu ga-aghọkwara mba niile ihe nkọcha.”
