Micha Propheta 6
1 audite quae Dominus loquitur surge contende iudicio adversum montes et audiant colles vocem tuam
Hear ye what Jehovah 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 Israhel diiudicabitur
Hear, O ye mountains, the controversy of Jehovah! Hear, ye strong foundations of the earth! For Jehovah hath a controversy with his people; He contendeth with Israel.
3 populus meus quid feci tibi et quid molestus fui tibi responde mihi
“O my people, what have I done to thee, And wherein have I offended thee? Testify against me!
4 quia eduxi te de terra Aegypti et de domo servientium liberavi te et misi ante faciem tuam Mosen et Aaron et Mariam
I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of bondage I redeemed thee; I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, to go before thee.
5 populus meus memento quaeso quid cogitaverit Balac rex Moab et quid responderit ei Balaam filius Beor de Setthim usque ad Galgalam ut cognosceret iustitias Domini
O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised. And what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him, What happened from Shittim to Gilgal, That ye may know the mercies of Jehovah.”
6 quid dignum offeram Domino curvem genu Deo excelso numquid offeram ei holocaustomata et vitulos anniculos
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, And bow myself before the most high God? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, With calves of a year old?
7 numquid placari potest Dominus in milibus arietum aut in multis milibus 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 thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for the sin of my soul, The fruit of my body for my transgression?
8 indicabo tibi o homo quid sit bonum et quid Dominus quaerat a te utique facere iudicium et diligere misericordiam et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; What doth Jehovah require of thee, But to do justly, and to love mercy, And to walk humbly before thy God?
9 vox Domini ad civitatem clamat et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum audite tribus et quis adprobabit illud
The voice of Jehovah crieth to the city, And the man of wisdom will discern thee; Hear ye the rod, and who hath threatened it!
10 adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis et mensura minor irae plena
Are there not yet in the houses of the unrighteous the treasures of iniquity, And the scanty measure, which is abominable?
11 numquid iustificabo stateram impiam et saccelli pondera dolosa
Shall I count her pure with the wicked balances, And with the 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 her rich men are full of violence, And her inhabitants speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 et ego ergo coepi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis
Therefore will I sorely smite thee, And make thee desolate on account of thy sins.
14 tu comedes et non saturaberis et humiliatio tua in medio tui et adprehendes et non salvabis et quos salvaveris in gladium dabo
Thou shalt eat and not be satisfied, And hunger shall be within thee. Thou shalt remove, but shalt not save, And what thou savest will I give up to the sword.
15 tu seminabis et non metes tu calcabis olivam et non ungueris 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 grapes, but shalt not drink the wine.
16 et custodisti praecepta Omri et omne opus domus Achab et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum ut darem te in perditionem et habitantes in ea in sibilum et obprobrium populi mei portabitis
For ye keep the statutes of Omri, And all the works of the house of Ahab, And walk in their devices; Therefore will I make thee a desolation, And thine inhabitants a derision; And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
