Micha Propheta 6
1 Audite quae Dominus loquitur: Surge, contende iudicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam.
Hear ye now what the LORD saith: 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, the LORD'S controversy, and ye enduring rocks, the foundations of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with His people, and He will plead with Israel.
3 Popule meus quid feci tibi, aut quid molestus fui tibi? responde mihi.
O My people, what have I done unto thee? And wherein 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; from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of the LORD.
6 Quid dignum offeram Domino? curvabo genu Deo excelso? numquid offeram ei holocaustomata, et vitulos anniculos?
'Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before Him with burnt-offerings, with calves of 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 the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born 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.
It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, 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?
Hark! the LORD crieth unto the city — and it is wisdom to have regard for Thy name — hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor irae plena.
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the 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 thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof 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 do smite thee with a grievous wound; I do make 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 shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy sickness shall be in thine inward parts; and thou shalt conceive, but shalt not bring forth; and whomsoever thou bringest forth will I 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 shalt sow, but shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil; and the vintage, but shalt not drink 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 an astonishment, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of My people.
