Micha Propheta 6
1 Audite quae Dominus loquitur: Surge, contende iudicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam.
Hear ye now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Audiant montes iudicium Domini, et fortia fundamenta terrae: quia iudicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israel diiudicabitur.
Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 Popule meus quid feci tibi, aut quid molestus fui tibi? responde mihi.
O my people, what have I done to thee? And in what have I wearied thee? Testify against me.
4 Quia eduxi te de Terra Aegypti, et de domo servientium liberavi te: et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen, et Aaron, et Mariam?
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 Popule meus memento quaeso quid cogitaverit contra te Balach rex Moab, et quid responderit ei Balaam filius Beor, de Setim usque ad Galgalam, ut cognosceres iustitias Domini.
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
6 Quid dignum offeram Domino? curvabo genu Deo excelso? numquid offeram ei holocaustomata, et vitulos anniculos?
With what shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Numquid placari potest Dominus in millibus arietum, aut in multis millibus hircorum pinguium? numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo fructum ventris mei pro peccato animae meae?
Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Indicabo tibi o homo quid sit bonum, et quid Dominus requirat a te: Utique facere iudicium, et diligere misericordiam, et solicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo.
He has shown thee, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat, et salus erit timentibus nomen eius: Audite tribus, et quis approbabit illud?
The voice of Jehovah cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor irae plena.
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
11 Numquid iustificabo stateram impiam, et saccelli pondera dolosa?
Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 In quibus divites eius repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum.
For the rich men of it are full of violence, and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Et ego ergo coepi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound, I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Tu comedes, et non saturaberis: et humiliatio tua in medio tui: et apprehendes, et non salvabis: et quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo.
Thou shall eat, but not be satisfied, and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee. And thou shall put away, but shall not save, and that which thou save I will give up to the sword.
15 Tu seminabis, et non metes: tu calcabis olivam, et non ungeris oleo: et mustum, et non bibes vinum.
Thou shall sow, but shall not reap, thou shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint thee with oil, and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.
16 Et custodisti praecepta Amri, et omne opus domus Achab: et ambulasti in voluptatibus eorum, ut darem te in perditionem, et habitantes in ea in sibilum et opprobrium populi mei portabitis.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels, that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing. And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
