< 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.
Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
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.”
Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with Israel.
3 Tattaok, ania ti inaramidko kadakayo? Kasano koma a binannogkayo? Agsaksikayo a maibusor kaniak!
O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
4 Ta inruarkayo iti daga ti Egipto ket insalakankayo iti balay ti pannakaadipen. Imbaonko kadakayo ni Moises, ni Aaron, kenni Miriam.
Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue 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.”
O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
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 the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
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 the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
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 shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke 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.
The Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted it.
10 Adda kinabaknang kadagiti babbalay dagiti managdakdakes ken naulbod, dagiti ulbod a timbangan a makarimon.
Are yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that 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 iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
12 Dagiti nabaknang a tattao a napnoan ti kinaranggas, dagiti agnanaed sadiay ket agsaoda iti inuulbod, ken ti dila kadagiti ngiwatda ket manangallilaw.
For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
13 Ngarud, sugatenka iti nakaro, pinagbalinka a pakadadaelan gapu kadagiti basolmo.
Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
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 eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
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 sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke 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 maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche of my people.
