< مِيخَا 6 >
اِسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قُمْ خَاصِمْ لَدَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَلْتَسْمَعِ ٱلتِّلَالُ صَوْتَكَ. | ١ 1 |
Now listen to what Yahweh says, “Arise and state your case before the mountains; let the hills hear your voice.
اِسْمَعِي خُصُومَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ وَيَا أُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ. فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٢ 2 |
Listen to Yahweh's lawsuit, you mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth. For Yahweh has a lawsuit with his people, and he will fight in court against Israel.”
«يَا شَعْبِي، مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ وَبِمَاذَا أَضْجَرْتُكَ؟ ٱشْهَدْ عَلَيَّ! | ٣ 3 |
“My people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Testify against me!
إِنِّي أَصْعَدْتُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَكَكْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ. | ٤ 4 |
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and rescued you out of the house of bondage. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to you.
يَا شَعْبِي ٱذْكُرْ بِمَاذَا تَآمَرَ بَالَاقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَبِمَاذَا أَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ، مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ إِجَادَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ». | ٥ 5 |
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and how Balaam son of Beor answered him as you went from Shittim to Gilgal, so you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
بِمَ أَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَنْحَنِي لِلإِلَهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ، بِعُجُولٍ أَبْنَاءِ سَنَةٍ؟ | ٦ 6 |
What should I bring to Yahweh, as I bow down to the high God? Should I come to him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
هَلْ يُسَرُّ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ ٱلْكِبَاشِ، بِرِبَوَاتِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُعْطِي بِكْرِي عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِي، ثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي عَنْ خَطِيَّةِ نَفْسِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for my own sin?
قَدْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، وَمَاذَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَتُحِبَّ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مَعَ إِلَهِكَ. | ٨ 8 |
He has told you, man, what is good, and what Yahweh requires from you: Act justly, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.
صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ يُنَادِي لِلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَرَى ٱسْمَكَ: «اِسْمَعُوا لِلْقَضِيبِ وَمَنْ رَسَمَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
The voice of Yahweh is making a proclamation to the city— even now wisdom acknowledges your name: “Pay attention to the rod, and to the one who has put it in place.
أَفِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بَعْدُ كُنُوزُ شَرٍّ وَإِيفَةٌ نَاقِصَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
There is wealth in the houses of the wicked that is dishonest, and false measures that are abominable.
هَلْ أَتَزَكَّى مَعَ مَوَازِينِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَمَعَ كِيسِ مَعَايِيرِ ٱلْغِشِّ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Should I consider a person to be innocent if he uses fraudulent scales, with a bag of deceptive weights?
فَإِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَهَا مَلْآنُونَ ظُلْمًا، وَسُكَّانَهَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانَهُمْ فِي فَمِهِمْ غَاشٌّ. | ١٢ 12 |
The rich men are full of violence, the inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue in their mouth is deceitful.
فَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جُرُوحَكَ عَدِيمَةَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، مُخْرِبًا مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore I will strike you with a terrible blow, and I will make you desolate because of your sins.
أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَلَا تَشْبَعُ، وَجُوعُكَ فِي جَوْفِكَ. وَتُعَزِّلُ وَلَا تُنَجِّي، وَٱلَّذِي تُنَجِّيهِ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٤ 14 |
You will eat but not be satisfied; your emptiness will remain inside you. You will store goods away but not save, and what you do save I will give to the sword.
أَنْتَ تَزْرَعُ وَلَا تَحْصُدُ. أَنْتَ تَدُوسُ زَيْتُونًا وَلَا تَدَّهِنُ بِزَيْتٍ، وَسُلَافَةً وَلَا تَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا. | ١٥ 15 |
You will sow but not reap; you will tread the olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will press grapes but drink no wine.
وَتُحْفَظُ فَرَائِضُ: عُمْرِي، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ: أَخْآبَ، وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِمَشُورَاتِهِمْ، لِكَيْ أُسَلِّمَكَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَسُكَّانَهَا لِلصَّفِيرِ، فَتَحْمِلُونَ عَارَ شَعْبِي». | ١٦ 16 |
The regulations made by Omri have been kept, and all the deeds of the house of Ahab. You walk by their advice. So I will make you, city, a ruin, and you inhabitants an object of hissing, and you will bear the reproach of my people.”
