< Michas 6 >
1 Klausāties jel, ko Tas Kungs saka: “Celies, tiesājies ar kalniem, un pakalni lai dzird tavu balsi.”
Pay attention to what Yahweh says [to you Israeli people]: “Stand up [in court] and state what you are accusing [me] about. And allow the hills and mountains to hear what you will say.
2 Klausāties, kalni, Tā Kunga tiesāšanos un jūs stiprie zemes pamati, jo Tam Kungam ir tiesas lieta ar Saviem ļaudīm, un Viņš grib tiesāties ar Israēli.
[But then] you mountains must [also] listen [carefully] [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining [about my people]. I have something to say about what [DOU] my Israeli people are doing that displeases me.
3 “Ak Mana tauta, ko Es tev esmu darījis? Ar ko Es tevi esmu apgrūtinājis? Atbildi Man!
My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
4 Gan Es tevi esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes un tevi izpestījis no vergu nama un tavā priekšā sūtījis Mozu un Āronu un Mirjamu.
I [did great things for your ancestors]; I brought them out of Egypt; I rescued them from that land where they were slaves. I sent Moses to [lead] them, and [his older brother] Aaron and [his older sister] Miriam.
5 Mana tauta, piemini jel, ko Balaks, Moaba ķēniņš, izdomāja, un ko Bileāms, Peora dēls, viņam atbildēja, no Sitimas līdz Gilgalai, lai tu atzīsti Tā Kunga taisnību.”
My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam [to curse your ancestors], and think about what Balaam replied. Think about [how your ancestors crossed the Jordan River miraculously while] they were traveling from Acacia to Gilgal. [Think about those things in order] that you may know that [I], Yahweh, do what is right.”
6 Ar ko es iešu pretī Tam Kungam? Kā zemošos tā augstā Dieva priekšā? Vai iešu Viņam pretī ar dedzināmiem upuriem, ar gada veciem teļiem.
[The Israeli people ask, ] “What shall we bring to Yahweh [who lives in] heaven when we come to him and bow down before him? Should we bring calves that are a year-old that will be offerings that will be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar]?
7 Vai Tam Kungam būtu labs prāts pie tūkstošiem auniem? Vai pie desmit tūkstošām eļļas upēm? Vai došu savu pirmdzimto par savu noziegumu, savas miesas augli par savas dvēseles grēkiem?
Will Yahweh be pleased [if we offer to him] 1,000 rams and 10,000 streams of [olive] oil? Should we offer our firstborn children [to be sacrifices] to pay for the sins that we have committed [DOU]?”
8 Viņš tev, cilvēks, darījis zināmu, kas labs, un ko Tas Kungs no tevis prasa: tikai taisnību darīt, žēlastību mīlēt un pazemīgi staigāt sava Dieva priekšā.
[No, because] he has shown each of us what is good [to do]; he has shown [RHQ] us what he requires each of us [to do]: He wants us to do what is just/fair and to love and to be merciful [to others], and [he wants us] to live humbly [while we fellowship] with him, our God.
9 Tā Kunga balss sauc pilsētai un gudrība ir Tavu Vārdu bīties: “Klausies to rīksti(zizli) un Kas to draud.
“I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me. I am calling out to [you people of] Jerusalem, ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming, so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
10 Vai bezdievīga namā vēl paliek netaisnas mantas un tā sasodītā mazā ēfa?
Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things that you acquired by cheating [others]? Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you used false measures [when you bought and sold things]? Those are things that I hate.
11 Vai nenoziedzīgs būšu pie bezdievīga svara un pie maisa ar viltīgiem svara akmeņiem?
[Do you think] that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly, and who use weights that are not accurate?
12 Viņas bagātie piepildās ar varas darbu, un viņas iedzīvotāji runā melus, un viņu mēle ir viltīga viņu mutē!
The rich people among you always act violently [to get money from poor people]. All of the people [in Jerusalem] are liars, and they [SYN] always deceive people.
13 Tādēļ arī Es tevi ievainošu, un tevi sitīšu un postīšu tavu grēku dēļ.
Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
14 Tu ēdīsi, bet nepieēdīsies, un tavs vēders būs tukšs; un ko tu nesīsi, to tu neaiznesīsi, un ko tu aiznesīsi, to es nodošu zobenam.
[Soon] you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you; your stomachs will [still feel as though they are] empty. You will try to save up [money], but you will not be able to save anything, because I will send your enemies to take it from you in wars [MTY].
15 Tu sēsi, bet nepļausi, tu mīsi eļļas ogas, bet ar eļļu nesvaidīsies, un jaunu vīnu(darināsi), bet vīna nedzersi.
You will plant [seeds], but you will not harvest [anything]. You will press olives, but [others], not you, will use the [olive] oil. You will trample on grapes [and make wine from the juice], but [others], not you, will drink the wine.
16 Jo tur cienī Omrus ieradumu un visus Ahaba nama darbus, un jūs staigājat viņu padomos. Tādēļ Es tevi nodošu par postu un viņas iedzīvotājus par apsmieklu, un jūs nesīsiet Manu ļaužu negodu.”
[Those things will happen to you because] you obey [only] the wicked laws of [King] Omri, and [you do the terrible things that wicked King] Ahab and his descendants commanded. So, I will destroy your [country], and I will cause your people to be despised; people [of other nations] will insult you.’”
