Micah 6
1 Ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Dìde dúró, bẹ ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ẹjọ́ rẹ níwájú òkè ńlá; sì jẹ́ kí àwọn òkè kéékèèké gbọ́ ohun tí ó fẹ́ wí.
Listen to what the Lord is saying. Stand up and plead your case. Let the mountains and the hills hear your voice.
2 “Gbọ́, ìwọ òkè ńlá, ẹ̀sùn Olúwa; gbọ́, ìwọ ìpìlẹ̀ ilé ayérayé. Nítorí Olúwa ń bá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wíjọ́; òun yóò sì bá Israẹli rojọ́.
And now, mountains, hear the Lord's argument. Listen, everlasting foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
3 “Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, kí ni mo ṣe fún yín? Àti nínú kí ni mo ti dá yin lágara? Dá mi lóhùn.
My people, what have I done to you? What is it that I have done to make you tired of me?
4 Nítorí èmi mú un yín gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, mo sì rà yín padà láti ilẹ̀ ẹrú wá. Mo rán Mose láti darí yín, bákan náà mo rán Aaroni àti Miriamu síwájú rẹ̀.
For I brought you out of the land of Egypt and rescued you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
5 Ìwọ ènìyàn mi, rántí ohun tí Balaki ọba Moabu gbèrò àti ohun tí Balaamu ọmọ Beori dáhùn. Rántí ìrìnàjò rẹ̀ láti Ṣittimu dé Gilgali, kí ìwọ ba le mọ òdodo Olúwa.”
My people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, planned to do, and what Balaam, son of Beor, told him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so you could know all the good things the Lord does.
6 Kí ni èmi yóò ha mú wá síwájú Olúwa tí èmi ó fi tẹ ara mi ba níwájú Ọlọ́run gíga? Kí èmi ha wá sí iwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, pẹ̀lú ọmọ màlúù ọlọ́dún kan?
What should I take with me when I approach the Lord, when I bow down before the God of heaven? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Ǹjẹ́ Olúwa yóò ní inú dídùn sí ẹgbẹgbàarùn-ún àgbò, tàbí sí ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ìṣàn òróró? Èmi yóò ha fi àkọ́bí mi sílẹ̀ fún ìré-òfin-kọjá mi, èso inú ara mi fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọkàn mi?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I sacrifice my firstborn child for my rebellion, my own flesh and blood for the sins I have committed?
8 Ó ti fihàn ọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn, ohun tí ó dára, àti ohun tí Olúwa ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ? Bí kò ṣe láti ṣe òtítọ́, kí o sì fẹ́ràn àánú, àti kí o rìn ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
The Lord has told you what is good, and what the Lord asks from you: to do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk in humility with your God.
9 Gbọ́! Ohùn Olúwa kígbe sí ìlú ńlá náà, láti jẹ ọlọ́gbọ́n ni láti bẹ̀rù orúkọ rẹ. “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀pá rẹ̀ gbọ́ ọ̀pá àti Ẹni náà tí ó yàn án.
The voice of the Lord calls to the city—to respect your name is to be wise—pay attention to the rod and who summoned it.
10 Ǹjẹ́ ìṣúra ìwà búburú ha wà ní ilé ènìyàn búburú síbẹ̀, àti òsùwọ̀n àìkún tí ó jẹ́ ohun ìbínú?
Are there still ill-gotten gains in the houses of the wicked? Are they still using dishonest measures in selling grain?
11 Ǹjẹ́ èmi ha lè kà wọ́n sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú òsùwọ̀n búburú, pẹ̀lú àpò òsùwọ̀n ẹ̀tàn?
How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights?
12 Àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ inú rẹ̀ kún fún ìwà ipá; àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀ ti ọ̀rọ̀ èké àti ahọ́n wọn ń sọ ẹ̀tàn?
Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit.
13 Nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ọ ṣàìsàn ní lílù ọ́, láti sọ ọ́ dahoro nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ.
So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.
14 Ìwọ yóò jẹun ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò yó; ìyàn yóò wà láàrín rẹ. Ìwọ yóò kó pamọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò lò láìléwu, nítorí ohun tí ìwọ kò pamọ́ ni èmi yóò fi fún idà.
You will eat, but never be satisfied; inside you will still feel hungry. Even though you try to save money, what you save won't be worth anything because I will give it to the sword.
15 Ìwọ yóò gbìn ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò kórè ìwọ yóò tẹ olifi, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò fi òróró rẹ̀ kún ara rẹ; ìwọ yóò tẹ èso àjàrà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò mu wáìnì.
You will sow, but you won't reap; you will press your olives, but not use the oil; you will make your wine, but drink none of it.
16 Nítorí tí ìwọ ti pa òfin Omri mọ́, àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ ilé Ahabu, tí ó sì ti tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn wọn, nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ọ fún ìparun àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fún ìfiṣe ẹlẹ́yà; ìwọ yóò sì ru ẹ̀gàn àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
You have kept the laws of Omri, and adopted all the practices of the house of Ahab, you have followed their ways. So I will make your country desolate and the people who live there an object of scorn; you will bear the shame of my people.
