Micah 6

Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

اِسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ: «قُمْ خَاصِمْ لَدَى الْجِبَالِ وَلْتَسْمَعِ التِّلاَلُ صَوْتَكَ.

Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

اِسْمَعِي خُصُومَةَ الرَّبِّ أَيَّتُهَا الْجِبَالُ وَيَا أُسُسَ الأَرْضِ الدَّائِمَةَ. فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ:

O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

«يَا شَعْبِي، مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ وَبِمَاذَا أَضْجَرْتُكَ؟ اشْهَدْ عَلَيَّ!

For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

إِنِّي أَصْعَدْتُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَكَكْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ.

O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

يَا شَعْبِي اذْكُرْ بِمَاذَا تَآمَرَ بَالاَقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَبِمَاذَا أَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ، مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ إِجَادَةَ الرَّبِّ».

Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

بِمَ أَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَأَنْحَنِي لِلإِلهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ، بِعُجُول أَبْنَاءِ سَنَةٍ؟

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ الْكِبَاشِ، بِرِبَوَاتِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُعْطِي بِكْرِي عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِي، ثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي عَنْ خَطِيَّةِ نَفْسِي؟

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

قَدْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، وَمَاذَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ الرَّبُّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ الْحَقَّ وَتُحِبَّ الرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مَعَ إِلهِكَ.

The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

صَوْتُ الرَّبِّ يُنَادِي لِلْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ تَرَى اسْمَكَ: «اِسْمَعُوا لِلْقَضِيبِ وَمَنْ رَسَمَهُ.

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

أَفِي بَيْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ بَعْدُ كُنُوزُ شَرّ وَإِيفَةٌ نَاقِصَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ؟

Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

هَلْ أَتَزَكَّى مَعَ مَوَازِينِ الشَّرِّ وَمَعَ كِيسِ مَعَايِيرِ الْغِشِّ؟

For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

فَإِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَهَا مَلآنُونَ ظُلْمًا، وَسُكَّانَهَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانَهُمْ فِي فَمِهِمْ غَاشٌّ.

Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

فَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جُرُوحَكَ عَدِيمَةَ الشِّفَاءِ، مُخْرِبًا مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكَ.

Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَلاَ تَشْبَعُ، وَجُوعُكَ فِي جَوْفِكَ. وَتُعَزِّلُ وَلاَ تُنَجِّي، وَالَّذِي تُنَجِّيهِ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ.

Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.

أَنْتَ تَزْرَعُ وَلاَ تَحْصُدُ. أَنْتَ تَدُوسُ زَيْتُونًا وَلاَ تَدَّهِنُ بِزَيْتٍ، وَسُلاَفَةً وَلاَ تَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا.

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.

وَتُحْفَظُ فَرَائِضُ «عُمْرِي» وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ «أَخْآبَ»، وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِمَشُورَاتِهِمْ، لِكَيْ أُسَلِّمَكَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَسُكَّانَهَا لِلصَّفِيرِ، فَتَحْمِلُونَ عَارَ شَعْبِي».
