Mika 6
1 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.
Here ye whiche thingis the Lord spekith. Rise thou, stryue thou bi doom ayens mounteyns, and litle hillis here thi vois.
2 “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.
Mounteyns, and the stronge foundementis of erthe, here the doom of the Lord; for the doom of the Lord with his puple, and he schal be demyd with Israel.
3 “O, nye dukɔ, nu ka mewɔ wò? Fu ka meɖe na wò? Ɖo eŋu nam!
Mi puple, what haue Y don to thee, ether what was Y greuouse to thee? Answere thou to me.
4 Elabena nyee kplɔ wò tso Egipte eye meɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me. Medɔ Mose, Aron kple Miriam be woakplɔ mi.
For Y ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, and of the hous of seruage Y delyuerede thee; and Y sente bifore thi face Moises, and Aaron, and Marye.
5 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.”
My puple, bithenke, Y preie, what Balaac, kyng of Moab, thouyte, and what Balaam, sone of Beor, of Sethym, answeride to hym til to Galgala, that thou schuldist knowe the riytwisnesse of the Lord.
6 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?
What worthi thing schal Y offre to the Lord? schal Y bowe the knee to the hiye God? Whether Y schal offre to hym brent sacrifices, and calues of o yeer?
7 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?
Whether God mai be paid in thousyndis of wetheris, ether in many thousyndis of fatte geet buckis? Whether Y schal yyue my firste bigetun for my greet trespas, the fruyt of my wombe for synne of my soule?
8 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.
Y schal schewe to thee, thou man, what is good, and what the Lord axith of thee; forsothe for to do doom, and for to loue merci, and be bisi for to walke with thi God.
9 “Miɖo to! Yehowa le Yerusalem dua katã yɔm. Ame si vɔa wò ŋkɔ la, nunyalae. Miɖo to ameƒoti la kple Ame si dɔe ɖa.
The vois of the Lord crieth to the citee, and heelthe schal be to alle men dredynge thi name. Ye lynagis, here; and who schal approue it?
10 O, aƒe vɔ̃ɖi! Ɖe maŋlɔ wò kesinɔnu madzɔmadzɔ kple nudotre sue si dzi fiƒode le la bea?
Yit fier is in the hous of the vnpitouse man, the tresouris of wickidnesse, and a lesse mesure ful of wraththe.
11 Ɖe matso afia na ame aɖe ne nudanu madzɔmadzɔ le esi eye nudakpe amebatɔwo yɔ akplo me nɛ fũua?
Whether Y schal iustifie the wickid balaunce, and the gileful weiytis of litil sak,
12 Miaƒe kesinɔtɔwo yɔ fũu kple ŋutasẽse eye miaƒe dukɔmeviwo daa alakpa eye amebeble le aɖe dzi na wo.
in whiche riche men therof ben fillid with wickidnesse? And men dwellynge ther ynne spaken leesyng, and the tunge of hem was gileful in the mouth of hem.
13 Eya ta nye hã matsrɔ̃ wò, agbã wò gudugudu ɖe wò nu vɔ̃wo ta.
And Y therfor bigan for to smyte thee, in perdicioun on thi synnes.
14 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.
Thou schalt ete, and schalt not be fillid, and thi mekyng is in the middil of thee; and thou schalt take, and schalt not saue; and which thou schalt saue, Y schal yyue in to swerd.
15 Àƒã nu, ke màŋe nu o; àɖa ami, gake màkpɔ ami asi o; àfia waintsetse, ke màkpɔ wain ano o.
Thou schalt sowe, and schal not repe; thou schalt trede the `frut of oliue, and schalt not be anoyntid with oile; and must, and schalt not drynke wyn.
16 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.”
And thou keptist the heestis of Amry, and al the werk of the hous of Acab, and hast walkid in the lustis of hem, that Y schulde yyue thee in to perdicioun, and men dwellynge in it in to scornyng, and ye schulen bere the schenschipe of my puple.
