Micah 6
1 Listen to what the Lord is saying. Stand up and plead your case. Let the mountains and the hills hear your voice.
audite quae Dominus loquitur surge contende iudicio adversum montes et audiant colles vocem tuam
2 And now, mountains, hear the Lord's argument. Listen, everlasting foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
audiant montes iudicium Domini et fortia fundamenta terrae quia iudicium Domini cum populo suo et cum Israhel diiudicabitur
3 My people, what have I done to you? What is it that I have done to make you tired of me?
populus meus quid feci tibi et quid molestus fui tibi responde mihi
4 For I brought you out of the land of Egypt and rescued you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
quia eduxi te de terra Aegypti et de domo servientium liberavi te et misi ante faciem tuam Mosen et Aaron et Mariam
5 My people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, planned to do, and what Balaam, son of Beor, told him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so you could know all the good things the Lord does.
populus meus memento quaeso quid cogitaverit Balac rex Moab et quid responderit ei Balaam filius Beor de Setthim usque ad Galgalam ut cognosceret iustitias Domini
6 What should I take with me when I approach the Lord, when I bow down before the God of heaven? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
quid dignum offeram Domino curvem genu Deo excelso numquid offeram ei holocaustomata et vitulos anniculos
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I sacrifice my firstborn child for my rebellion, my own flesh and blood for the sins I have committed?
numquid placari potest Dominus in milibus arietum aut in multis milibus hircorum pinguium numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo fructum ventris mei pro peccato animae meae
8 The Lord has told you what is good, and what the Lord asks from you: to do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk in humility with your God.
indicabo tibi o homo quid sit bonum et quid Dominus quaerat a te utique facere iudicium et diligere misericordiam et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo
9 The voice of the Lord calls to the city—to respect your name is to be wise—pay attention to the rod and who summoned it.
vox Domini ad civitatem clamat et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum audite tribus et quis adprobabit illud
10 Are there still ill-gotten gains in the houses of the wicked? Are they still using dishonest measures in selling grain?
adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis et mensura minor irae plena
11 How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights?
numquid iustificabo stateram impiam et saccelli pondera dolosa
12 Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit.
in quibus divites eius repleti sunt iniquitate et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum
13 So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.
et ego ergo coepi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis
14 You will eat, but never be satisfied; inside you will still feel hungry. Even though you try to save money, what you save won't be worth anything because I will give it to the sword.
tu comedes et non saturaberis et humiliatio tua in medio tui et adprehendes et non salvabis et quos salvaveris in gladium dabo
15 You will sow, but you won't reap; you will press your olives, but not use the oil; you will make your wine, but drink none of it.
tu seminabis et non metes tu calcabis olivam et non ungueris oleo et mustum et non bibes vinum
16 You have kept the laws of Omri, and adopted all the practices of the house of Ahab, you have followed their ways. So I will make your country desolate and the people who live there an object of scorn; you will bear the shame of my people.
et custodisti praecepta Omri et omne opus domus Achab et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum ut darem te in perditionem et habitantes in ea in sibilum et obprobrium populi mei portabitis
