Miikiyaas 6
1 Waan Waaqayyo jedhu dhaggeeffadhaa: “Ol kakkaʼaatii fuula tulluuwwanii duratti dubbii keessan dhiʼeeffadhaa; gaarranis waan isin jettan haa dhagaʼan.
Hear now a word: the Lord God has said; Arise, plead with the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 “Yaa tulluuwwan himata Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa; hundeewwan lafaa kanneen bara baraa isinis dhaggeeffadhaa. Waaqayyo saba isaa irraa dubbii qabaatii; inni Israaʼel wajjin falmii qaba.
Hear ye, O mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and [ye] valleys [even] the foundations of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with his people, and will plead with Israel.
3 “Yaa saba ko, ani maalan si godhe? Ani maaliinan si dadhabsiise? Mee deebii naaf kenni.
O my people, what have I done to thee? or wherein have I grieved thee? or wherein have I troubled thee? answer me.
4 Ani biyya Gibxii sin baasee biyya garbummaa keessaa sin fure. Ani akka inni si qajeelchuuf Musee, akkasumas Aroonii fi Miiriyaamin siifan erge.
For I brought tee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and sent before thee Moses, and Aaron, and Mariam.
5 Yaa saba ko, mee gorsa Baalaaq mootiin Moʼaab gaafatee fi deebii Balaʼaam ilmi Beʼoor kenneef yaadadhu. Ati akka hojii qajeelummaa Waaqayyoo beektuuf karaa ati Shixiimii hamma Gilgaalitti deemte sana yaadadhu.”
O my people, remember now, what counsel Balac king of Moab took against thee, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from the reeds to Galgal; that the righteousness of the Lord might be known.
6 Ani maaliinan fuula Waaqayyoo dura dhufee fuula Waaqa ol gubbaa jiruu duratti sagada? Ani aarsaa gubamuun, jabbii waggaa tokkootiin fuula isaa duratti dhiʼaadhuu?
Wherewithal shall I reach the Lord, [and] lay hold of my God most high? shall I reach him by whole-burnt-offerings, by calves of a year old?
7 Waaqayyo korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma hedduutti, zayitii laga kuma kudhaniitti ni gammadaa? Ani ilma koo hangafa, sababii yakka kootiitiif, sababii cubbuu lubbuu kootiitiifis dhala garaa koo aarsaa dhiʼeessuu?
Will the Lord accept thousands of rams, or ten thousands of fat goats? should I give my first-born for ungodliness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Yaa nama, inni waan gaarii si argisiiseera. Waaqayyo maal sirraa barbaada? Murtii qajeelaa kennuu fi araara jaallachuu, akka ati gad of qabdee Waaqa kee wajjin deemtu sirraa barbaada mitii?
Has it [not] been told thee, O man, what [is] good? or what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, and love mercy, and be ready to walk with the Lord thy God?
9 Isin dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyo akkana jedhee magaalattii waama: Maqaa kee sodaachuun ogummaa dha; “Ulee fi Isa ulee sana filate qalbeeffadhaa.
The Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?
10 Yaa mana hamaa, ani qabeenya isin dabaan argattanii fi madaalii sobaa abaaramaa sana irraanfadhaa?
[Is there] not fire, and the house of the wicked heaping up wicked treasures, and [that] with the pride of unrighteousness?
11 Ani nama madaallii sobaatiin hojjetuu fi kan madaalii sobaa korojootti baatu akkasumatti dhiisaa?
Shall the wicked be justified by the balanced, or deceitful weights in the bag,
12 Sooreyyiin ishee jalʼoota; uummanni ishee sobdoota; arrabni isaaniis gowwoomsaa dubbata.
whereby they have accumulated their ungodly wealth, and they that dwell in the city have uttered falsehoods, and their tongue has been exalted in their mouth?
13 Kanaafuu ani sababii cubbuu keessaniitiif isin diigee, isin balleessuu jalqabeera.
Therefore will I begin to smite thee; I will destroy thee in thy sins.
14 Ati inuma nyaatta; garuu hin quuftu; garaan kee amma illee duwwaa dha. Ati ni kaaʼatta; garuu homaa siif hin kuufamu; waan ati kuufattu sana ani goraadeetti kennaatii.
Thou shalt eat, and shalt not be satisfied; and there shall be darkness upon thee; and he shall depart from [thee], and thou shalt not escape; and all that shall escape shall be delivered over to the sword.
15 Ati ni facaafatta; garuu hin haammattu; ejersa ni cuunfatta; garuu zayitii isaa hin dibattu; ija wayinii ni cuunfatta; garuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugdu.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt press the olive, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with oil; and [shalt make] wine, but ye shall drink no wine: and the ordinances of my people shall be utterly abolished.
16 Ati sirna Omriitii fi hojii mana Ahaab hunda jabeessiteerta; gorsa isaaniis duukaa buuteerta. Kanaafuu ani si balleessee, uummata kee nan salphisa; isin tuffii sabootaa ni baattu.”
For thou hast kept the statues of Zambri, and [done] all the works of the house of Achaab; and ye have walked in their ways, that I might deliver thee to utter destruction, and those that inhabit the city to hissing: and ye shall bear the reproach of nations.
