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.
Hear, I pray you, what, Yahweh, is saying, —arise thou, maintain thy controversy before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy 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.
Hear, ye mountains, the controversy of Yahweh, and ye lasting rocks, the foundations of the earth, —for, a controversy, hath Yahweh, with his people, and, with Israel, will he dispute.
3 “Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, kí ni mo ṣe fún yín? Àti nínú kí ni mo ti dá yin lágara? Dá mi lóhùn.
O my people! what have I done to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? Testify thou against 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 thee up out of the land of Egypt, and, out of the house of slaves, I ransomed thee, —and I sent before thee, Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
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.”
O my people! remember, I pray you, what Balak king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam son of Beor, answered him, —from the Acacias as far as Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Yahweh.
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?
Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending-sacrifice? with calves of 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 Yahweh, be pleased, with thousands of rams? with myriads of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression? the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
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.
He hath told thee, O son of earth, what is good, —what then is, Yahweh, seeking of thee, but, to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with thy 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 Yahweh, to the city, crieth out, With safety for him who regardeth his name, —Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Ǹjẹ́ ìṣúra ìwà búburú ha wà ní ilé ènìyàn búburú síbẹ̀, àti òsùwọ̀n àìkún tí ó jẹ́ ohun ìbínú?
Even yet, are there, in the house of the lawless one, the treasures of lawlessness, —and the scant measure—accurst?
11 Ǹjẹ́ èmi ha lè kà wọ́n sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú òsùwọ̀n búburú, pẹ̀lú àpò òsùwọ̀n ẹ̀tàn?
Shall I be pure with lawless balances? or with bag of deceitful 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?
For, her rich men, are full of violence, and, her inhabitants, have spoken falsehood, —and, their tongue, is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ọ ṣàìsàn ní lílù ọ́, láti sọ ọ́ dahoro nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ.
Moreover also, I, have made thee sick with smiting thee, —laying thee waste because of thy 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.
Thou, shalt eat—and not be satisfied, but be shrunk with hunger within thee, —Though thou remove, yet shalt thou not set in safety, and, what thou dost set in safety, to the sword, will I deliver.
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.
Thou, shalt sow, but shalt not reap, —thou, shalt tread the olive, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, also the grape, but shalt not drink the wine.
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.”
For strictly observed are the statutes of Omri, and every doing of the house of Ahab, and ye have walked in their counsels, —to the end I may give thee up to desolation, and her inhabitants to hissing, that, the reproach of peoples, ye may bear.
