Mihej 6
1 Poslušajte sedaj, kar govori Gospod: »Vstani, poteguj se pred gorami in naj hribi slišijo tvoj glas.
Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Prisluhnite, oh gore, Gospodovo polemiko in vi močni temelji zemlje, kajti Gospod ima polemiko s svojim ljudstvom in pravdal se bo z Izraelom.
Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah’s controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 Oh moje ljudstvo, kaj sem ti storil? In v čem sem te izmučil? Pričaj zoper mene.
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 Kajti privedel sem te gor iz egiptovske dežele in te odkupil iz hiše služabnikov in pred teboj sem poslal Mojzesa, Arona in Mirjam.
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 Oh moje ljudstvo, spomnite se sedaj kaj je svetoval moábski kralj Balák, in kaj mu je Beórjev sin Bileám odgovoril iz Šitíma do Gilgála, da boste lahko spoznali Gospodovo pravičnost.
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him; [remember] from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
6 S čim bom prišel pred Gospoda in se priklonil pred vzvišenim Bogom? Naj pridem predenj z žgalnimi daritvami, z enoletnimi teleti?
Wherewith 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 Mar bo Gospod zadovoljen s tisoči ovnov ali z deset tisočimi rekami olja? Naj dam svojega prvorojenca za svoj prestopek, sad mojega telesa za greh moje duše?
will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] 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 Pokazal ti je, oh človek, kaj je dobro. Kaj zahteva Gospod od tebe, razen da ravnaš pravično, da ljubiš usmiljenje in da ponižno hodiš s svojim Bogom?
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Gospodov glas kliče v mesto in človek modrosti bo videl tvoje ime. Poslušaj palico in tistega, ki jo je določil.
The voice of Jehovah crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom will see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Ali so še zakladi zlobnosti v hiši zlobnega in skopa mera, kar je gnusno?
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
11 Mar jih bom štel za čiste z zlobnimi tehtnicami in s torbo varljivih uteži?
Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Kajti njegovi bogataši so polni nasilja in njegovi prebivalci so govorili laži in njihov jezik je varljiv v njihovih ustih.
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 Zato te bom tudi jaz naredil bolnega, ko te bom udarjal, ko te bom pustošil zaradi tvojih grehov.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Jedel boš, toda ne boš nasičen in tvoja sestradanost bo v tvoji sredi in prijel boš, toda ne boš rešil in to, kar rešiš, bom izročil meču.
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt put away, but shalt not save; and that which thou savest will I give up to the sword.
15 Sejal boš, toda ne boš žel; tlačil olive, toda z oljem se ne boš mazilil; in sladko vino, toda vina ne boš pil.
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 the wine.
16 Kajti držijo se Omrijevih zakonov in vseh del Ahábove hiše in vi se ravnate po njihovih nasvetih, da bi te naredil za opustošenje in njegove prebivalce za posmeh. Zatorej boste nosili grajo mojega ljudstva.
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.
