Micah 6
1 Kowos in lohng ma LEUM GOD El lain Israel kac. Tuyak, O LEUM GOD, ac fahk ma kom lain Israel kac. Lela fineol uh ac inging uh in lohng ma kom fahk an.
Hear ye what the Lord saith: Arise, contend thou in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Kowos eol uh, su pwelung kawil lun faclu, porongo mwe nununku lun LEUM GOD! Oasr ma se LEUM GOD El nununku mwet lal kac. El ac srukak sie kas in tukak in lain Israel.
Let the mountains hear the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord will enter into judgment with his people, and he will plead against Israel.
3 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk, mea nga oru koluk nu suwos uh? Nga aktoasrye kowos fuka? Topukyu.
O my people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I molested thee? answer thou me.
4 Nga uskowosme liki Egypt. Nga tulekowosla liki kohs. Nga supwalot Moses, Aaron, ac Miriam in tuh pwenkowosla.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and delivered thee out of the house of slaves: and I sent before thy face Moses, and Aaron, and Mary.
5 Mwet luk, esam ma Tokosra Balak lun Moab el tuh akoo in oru nu suwos, ac mea Balaam, wen natul Beor, el topuk nu sel. Esam ma tuh sikyak ke kowos fahsr liki nien aktuktuk Acacia nu Gilgal. Esam ma inge ac kowos fah akilen ma nga tuh oru in molikowosla.”
O my people, remember, I pray thee, what Balach the king of Moab purposed: and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Setim to Galgal, that thou mightest know the justices of the Lord.
6 Mea nga ac use nu sin LEUM GOD lun kusrao, ke nga ac tuku in alu nu sel? Ya nga ac use cow fusr ma wo emeet in mwe kisa firir nu sel?
What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? wherewith shall I kneel before the high God? shall I offer holocausts unto him, and calves of a year old?
7 Ya LEUM GOD El fah insewowo nga fin use pus liki tausin sheep mukul nu yorol, ku pus liki singoul infacl in oil in olive? Ya nga ac kisakin wounse se nutik in sang moli ma koluk luk?
May the Lord be appeased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he goats? shall I give my firstborn for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Mo, LEUM GOD El fahk tari nu sesr lah mea wo uh. Ma El enenu sesr uh inge: in oru ma suwohs, in moulkin lungse pacl e nukewa, ac in moul in inse pusisel yurin God lasr.
I will shew thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: Verily, to do judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk solicitous with thy God.
9 Sie mwet fin lalmwetmet el ac etu in sangeng sin LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD El pang nu sin mwet in siti Jerusalem ac fahk, “Lohng, kowos mwet su fahsreni nu in siti uh!
The voice of the Lord crieth to the city, and salvation shall be to them that fear thy name: hear, O ye tribes, and who shall approve it?
10 Oasr ma saok in lohm sin mwet koluk uh, su elos eisla ke inkanek kutasrik. Elos orekmakin mwe srikasrak kikiap, sie ouiya su nga kwase.
As yet there is a fire in the house of the wicked, the treasures of iniquity, and a scant measure full of wrath.
11 Nga ac nunak munas fuka nu sin mwet su orekmakin mwe paun sutuu ac srikasrak kikiap?
Shall I justify wicked balances, and the deceitful weights of the bag?
12 Mwet kasrup lowos aklalfonye mwet sukasrup, ac kowos nukewa mwet kikiap.
By which her rich men were filled with iniquity, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in their mouth.
13 Ke ma inge nga mutawauk tari in sot mwe ongoiya nu suwos, in kunauskowosla ke sripen ma koluk lowos.
And I therefore began to strike thee with desolation for thy sins.
14 Kowos ac mongo ac tia kihpi — aok, kowos ac masrinsral na. Kowos ac telak ma uh, a ac tia ku in oan paht yuruwos. Kutena ma lula yuruwos nga fah kunausla ke mweun.
Thou shalt eat, but shalt not be filled: and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not save: and those whom thou shalt save, I will give up to the sword.
15 Kowos ac taknelik wheat, tuh tia ku in kosrani kac. Kowos ac fule oil liki olive, tuh koflana orekmakin. Kowos ac orek wain, tuh tiana nim kac.
Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap: thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not be anointed with the oil: and the new wine, but shalt not drink the wine.
16 Ma inge fah sikyak mweyen kowos fahsr tukun ouiya koluk lal Tokosra Omri ac Tokosra Ahab, wen natul, ac tafwelana in oru oakwuk laltal. Ke ma inge nga fah kunauskowosla, ac mwet nukewa ac fah srungakowos. Mutanfahl nukewa fah aklusrongtenye kowos.”
For thou hast kept the statutes of Amri, and all the works of the house of Achab: and thou hast walked according to their wills, that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing, and you shall bear the reproach of my people.
