< مِيخَا 6 >
اِسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «قُمْ خَاصِمْ لَدَى ٱلْجِبَالِ وَلْتَسْمَعِ ٱلتِّلَالُ صَوْتَكَ. | ١ 1 |
Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
اِسْمَعِي خُصُومَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْجِبَالُ وَيَا أُسُسَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلدَّائِمَةَ. فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٢ 2 |
Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
«يَا شَعْبِي، مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ وَبِمَاذَا أَضْجَرْتُكَ؟ ٱشْهَدْ عَلَيَّ! | ٣ 3 |
My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer 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 redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
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 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 the LORD.”
بِمَ أَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَنْحَنِي لِلإِلَهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ، بِعُجُولٍ أَبْنَاءِ سَنَةٍ؟ | ٦ 6 |
How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before 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 the LORD 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?
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 shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
صَوْتُ ٱلرَّبِّ يُنَادِي لِلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْحِكْمَةُ تَرَى ٱسْمَكَ: «اِسْمَعُوا لِلْقَضِيبِ وَمَنْ رَسَمَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
The LORD’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
أَفِي بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بَعْدُ كُنُوزُ شَرٍّ وَإِيفَةٌ نَاقِصَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
هَلْ أَتَزَكَّى مَعَ مَوَازِينِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَمَعَ كِيسِ مَعَايِيرِ ٱلْغِشِّ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
فَإِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَهَا مَلْآنُونَ ظُلْمًا، وَسُكَّانَهَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانَهُمْ فِي فَمِهِمْ غَاشٌّ. | ١٢ 12 |
Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
فَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جُرُوحَكَ عَدِيمَةَ ٱلشِّفَاءِ، مُخْرِبًا مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَلَا تَشْبَعُ، وَجُوعُكَ فِي جَوْفِكَ. وَتُعَزِّلُ وَلَا تُنَجِّي، وَٱلَّذِي تُنَجِّيهِ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ١٤ 14 |
You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
أَنْتَ تَزْرَعُ وَلَا تَحْصُدُ. أَنْتَ تَدُوسُ زَيْتُونًا وَلَا تَدَّهِنُ بِزَيْتٍ، وَسُلَافَةً وَلَا تَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا. | ١٥ 15 |
You 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.
وَتُحْفَظُ فَرَائِضُ: عُمْرِي، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ: أَخْآبَ، وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِمَشُورَاتِهِمْ، لِكَيْ أُسَلِّمَكَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَسُكَّانَهَا لِلصَّفِيرِ، فَتَحْمِلُونَ عَارَ شَعْبِي». | ١٦ 16 |
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
