Mikias 6
1 Ita, denggem no ania ti kuna ni Yahweh. Kinuna ni Mikias kenkuana, “Bumangonka ket idatagmo ti kasom iti kabanbantayan; bay- am a mangngeg dagiti turod ti timekmo.
Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Denggenyo ti darum ni Yahweh, dakayo a kabanbantayan, ken dakayo a naandor a pamuon iti daga. Ta adda darum ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona, ket ilabanna iti pangukoman a maibusor iti Israel.”
Hear, ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye, unchanging foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 Tattaok, ania ti inaramidko kadakayo? Kasano koma a binannogkayo? Agsaksikayo a maibusor kaniak!
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 Ta inruarkayo iti daga ti Egipto ket insalakankayo iti balay ti pannakaadipen. Imbaonko kadakayo ni Moises, ni Aaron, kenni Miriam.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Tattaok, lagipenyo ti pinanggep ni Balak nga ari ti Moab, ken ania ti insungbat kenkuana ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, bayat a mapmapankayo manipud Sittim agingga iti Gilgal, tapno maammoanyo ti nalinteg nga inaramidko, Siak a ni Yahweh.”
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Jehovah.
6 Ania ti rumbeng nga idatagko kenni Yahweh, kas agrukbabak iti kangatoan a Dios? Nasken kadi nga umayak kenkuana nga addaan ti daton a mapuoran, iti urbon a baka a natawenan?
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Maay-ayo ngata ni Yahweh kadagiti rinibu a karnero a kalakian, wenno dagiti sangapulo-ribu a karayan iti lana? Itedko kadi ti inauna nga anakko a para iti salungasingko, ti bunga ti bagik a para iti basolko?
Will Jehovah take pleasure in thousands of rams, in ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Imbagana kenka, O tao, no ania ti naimbag, ken ania ti sapsapulen ni Yahweh kenka: Aramidem ti nalinteg, ayatem ti kina-imbag, ken magnaka a sipapakumbaba iti Diosmo.
He hath shewn thee, O man, what is good: and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Ti timek ni Yahweh ket agiwarwaragawag iti siudad— uray ti kinasirib ket bigbigenna ti naganmo: “Ipangagmo ti sarukod, ken ti nangisaad daytoy iti ayanna.
Jehovah's voice crieth unto the city, and wisdom looketh on thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Adda kinabaknang kadagiti babbalay dagiti managdakdakes ken naulbod, dagiti ulbod a timbangan a makarimon.
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [which is] abominable?
11 Ibilangko kadi nga awan basol ti maysa a tao no mangaramat isuna iti nakusit a pagtimbangan, nga addaan ti supot dagiti manangallilaw a pagtimbangan?
Shall I be pure with the unjust balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Dagiti nabaknang a tattao a napnoan ti kinaranggas, dagiti agnanaed sadiay ket agsaoda iti inuulbod, ken ti dila kadagiti ngiwatda ket manangallilaw.
For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Ngarud, sugatenka iti nakaro, pinagbalinka a pakadadaelan gapu kadagiti basolmo.
Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee; I will make [thee] desolate because of thy sins.
14 Manganka ngem saanka a mapnek; addanto latta kenka ti kinaunga-ong. Agidulinka ngem saanka a maka-urnong, ket ti maurnongmo ket iyawatkonto iti kampilan.
Thou shalt eat, and not be satisfied, and thine emptiness [shall remain] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take away, and not save; and what thou savest will I give up to the sword.
15 Agmulaka ngem saankanto nga agapit; agbaddekka iti olibo ngem saanmo a masapsapuan ta bagim iti lana; agpespeska iti ubas ngem awan ti mainummo nga arak.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and new wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 Sinalimetmetam dagiti allagaden nga inaramid ni Omri, ken dagiti amin nga ar-aramid iti balay ni Ahab. Nagnaka babaen kadagiti balakadda. Isu a sika a siudad, pagbalinenka a dadael, ken dakayo nga agnanaed ket pagbalinekto a malalais, ket awitenyonto ti pannakaibabain a kas kadagiti tattaok.”
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and ye walk in their counsels: that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
