Mikas 6

1Dinggin ninyo ngayon kung ano ang sinasabi ng Panginoon: Bumangon ka, makipagkaalit ka sa harap ng mga bundok, at dinggin ng mga burol ang iyong tinig. 2Dinggin ninyo, Oh ninyong mga bundok, ang usap ng Panginoon, at ninyo na mga matibay na patibayan ng lupa; sapagka't ang Panginoon ay may usap sa kaniyang bayan, at kaniyang ipakikipagtalo sa Israel. 3Oh bayan ko, anong ginawa ko sa iyo? at sa ano kita pinagod? sumaksi ka laban sa akin. 4Sapagka't ikaw ay aking iniahon mula sa lupain ng Egipto, at tinubos kita sa bahay ng pagkaalipin; at aking sinugo sa unahan mo si Moises, si Aaron, at si Miriam. 5Oh bayan ko, alalahanin mo ngayon kung ano ang isinangguni ni Balac na hari sa Moab, at kung ano ang isinagot sa kaniya ni Balaam na anak ni Beor; alalahanin mo mula sa Sittem hanggang sa Gilgal, upang iyong maalaman ang mga matuwid na gawa ng Panginoon. 6Ano ang aking ilalapit sa harap ng Panginoon, at iyuyukod sa harap ng mataas na Dios? paroroon baga ako sa harap niya na may mga handog na susunugin, na may guyang isang taon ang gulang? 7Kalulugdan baga ng Panginoon ang mga libolibong tupa, o ang mga sangpu-sangpung libong ilog na langis? ibibigay ko baga ang aking panganay dahil sa aking pagsalangsang, ang bunga ng aking katawan dahil sa kasalanan ng aking kaluluwa? 8Kaniyang ipinakilala sa iyo, Oh tao, kung ano ang mabuti; at ano ang hinihingi ng Panginoon sa iyo, kundi gumawa na may kaganapan, at ibigin ang kaawaan, at lumakad na may kababaan na kasama ng iyong Dios. 9Ang tinig ng Panginoon ay humihiyaw sa bayan, at ang taong may karunungan ay makakakita ng iyong pangalan: dinggin ninyo ang tungkod, at ang naghalal niyaon. 10Mayroon pa baga kaya ng mga kayamanan ng kasamaan sa bahay ng masama, at ng kulang na panukat na kasuklamsuklam? 11Magiging malinis baga ako na may masamang timbangan, at sa marayang supot na panimbang? 12Sapagka't ang mga mayaman niyaon ay puno ng pangdadahas, at ang mga mananahan doo'y nangagsalita ng mga kabulaanan, at ang kanilang dila ay magdaraya sa kanilang bibig. 13Kaya't sinugatan din naman kita ng mabigat na sugat; ginawa kitang kasiraan dahil sa iyong mga kasalanan. 14Ikaw ay kakain, nguni't hindi ka mabubusog; at ang iyong pagpapakumbaba ay sasa gitna mo: at ikaw ay magtatabi, nguni't wala kang dadalhing maitatabi; at ang iyong ilalabas ay aking iiwan sa tabak. 15Ikaw ay maghahasik, nguni't hindi ka magaani: ikaw ay magpipisa ng mga olibo, nguni't hindi ka magpapahid ng langis; at ng ubas, nguni't hindi ka iinom ng alak. 16Sapagka't naiingatan ang mga palatuntunan ni Omri, at ang lahat na gawa ng sangbahayan ni Achab, at kayo'y nagsisilakad ng ayon sa kanilang mga payo; upang gawin kitang kasiraan, at ang mga mananahan niya'y kasutsutan: at inyong dadalhin ang kakutyaan ng aking bayan.

1Listen now to what Yahweh says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say. 2Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me! 4For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.” 6How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? 9Yahweh’s voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it. 10Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed? 11Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights? 12Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech. 13Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins. 14You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword. 15You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine. 16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and her inhabitants a hissing; And you will bear the reproach of my people.”

1Hoort nu, wat de HEERE zegt: Maak u op, twist met de bergen, en laat de heuvelen uw stem horen. 2Hoort, gij bergen! den twist des HEEREN, mitsgaders gij sterke fondamenten der aarde! want de HEERE heeft een twist met Zijn volk, en Hij zal Zich met Israel in recht begeven. 3O Mijn volk! wat heb Ik u gedaan, en waarmede heb Ik u vermoeid? Betuig tegen Mij. 4Immers heb Ik u uit Egypteland opgevoerd, en u uit het diensthuis verlost; en Ik heb voor uw aangezicht henen gezonden Mozes, Aaron en Mirjam. 5Mijn volk! gedenk toch wat Balak, de koning van Moab, beraadslaagde, en wat hem Bileam, de zoon van Beor, antwoordde; en wat geschied is van Sittim af tot Gilgal toe, opdat gij de gerechtigheden des HEEREN kent. 6Waarmede zal ik den HEERE tegenkomen, en mij bukken voor den hogen God? Zal ik Hem tegenkomen met brandofferen, met eenjarige kalveren? 7Zou de HEERE een welgevallen hebben aan duizenden van rammen, aan tien duizenden van oliebeken? Zal ik mijn eerstgeborene geven voor mijn overtreding, de vrucht mijns buiks voor de zonde mijner ziel? 8Hij heeft u bekend gemaakt, o mens! wat goed is; en wat eist de HEERE van u, dan recht te doen, en weldadigheid lief te hebben, en ootmoediglijk te wandelen met uw God? 9De stem des HEEREN roept tot de stad (want Uw Naam ziet het wezen): Hoort de roede, en wie ze besteld heeft! 10Zijn er niet nog, in eens ieders goddelozen huis, schatten der goddeloosheid en een schaarse efa, dat te verfoeien is? 11Zou ik rein zijn, met een goddeloze weegschaal en met een zak van bedriegelijke weegstenen? 12Dewijl haar rijke lieden vol zijn van geweld, en haar inwoners leugen spreken, en haar tong bedriegelijk is in haar mond; 13Zo zal Ik u ook krenken, u slaande, en verwoestende om uw zonden. 14Gij zult eten, maar niet verzadigd worden, en uw nederdrukking zal in het midden van u zijn; en gij zult aangrijpen, maar niet wegbrengen, en wat gij zult wegbrengen, zal Ik aan het zwaard overgeven. 15Gij zult zaaien, maar niet maaien; gij zult olijven treden, maar u met olie niet zalven, en most, maar geen wijn drinken. 16Want de inzettingen van Omri worden onderhouden, en het ganse werk van het huis van Achab; en gij wandelt in derzelver raadslagen; opdat Ik u stelle tot verwoesting, en haar inwoners tot aanfluiting; alzo zult gij de smaadheid Mijns volks dragen.
