Micah 6
1 Pay attention to what Yahweh says [to you Israeli people]: “Stand up [in court] and state what you are accusing [me] about. And allow the hills and mountains to hear what you will say.
Höret doch, was Jehovah spricht: Stehe auf, hadere mit den Bergen, und laß die Hügel deine Stimme hören!
2 [But then] you mountains must [also] listen [carefully] [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining [about my people]. I have something to say about what [DOU] my Israeli people are doing that displeases me.
Höret, ihr Berge, Jehovahs Hader, und ihr starken Grundfesten der Erde; denn Hader hat Jehovah mit Seinem Volk und rügt Israel.
3 My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
Mein Volk, was habe Ich dir getan? Womit habe Ich dich ermüdet? antworte wider Mich!
4 I [did great things for your ancestors]; I brought them out of Egypt; I rescued them from that land where they were slaves. I sent Moses to [lead] them, and [his older brother] Aaron and [his older sister] Miriam.
Daß Ich dich aus dem Lande Ägypten heraufgebracht, und aus dem Haus der Knechte dich habe eingelöst, und Moses, Aharon und Mirjam vor dir hergesandt?
5 My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam [to curse your ancestors], and think about what Balaam replied. Think about [how your ancestors crossed the Jordan River miraculously while] they were traveling from Acacia to Gilgal. [Think about those things in order] that you may know that [I], Yahweh, do what is right.”
Gedenke doch, Mein Volk, was Balak, Moabs König, beriet, und was ihm Bileam, Beors Sohn, antwortete, von Schittim bis Gilgal; daß man erkenne die Gerechtigkeit Jehovahs.
6 [The Israeli people ask, ] “What shall we bring to Yahweh [who lives in] heaven when we come to him and bow down before him? Should we bring calves that are a year-old that will be offerings that will be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar]?
Womit soll ich zuvorkommen dem Jehovah, mich beugen vor dem Gott der Höhe? Soll ich Ihm zuvorkommen mit Brandopfern, mit einjährigen Kälbern?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased [if we offer to him] 1,000 rams and 10,000 streams of [olive] oil? Should we offer our firstborn children [to be sacrifices] to pay for the sins that we have committed [DOU]?”
Hat Jehovah Wohlgefallen an tausenden von Widdern, an zehntausenden von Bächen Öls? Soll meinen Erstgeborenen ich geben für meine Übertretung, für meiner Seele Sünde meines Leibes Frucht?
8 [No, because] he has shown each of us what is good [to do]; he has shown [RHQ] us what he requires each of us [to do]: He wants us to do what is just/fair and to love and to be merciful [to others], and [he wants us] to live humbly [while we fellowship] with him, our God.
Er hat dir angesagt, o Mensch, was gut ist. Und was fordert Jehovah von dir, als das Recht zu tun und Barmherzigkeit zu lieben, und in Demut zu wandeln vor deinem Gott.
9 “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me. I am calling out to [you people of] Jerusalem, ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming, so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
Jehovahs Stimme ruft der Stadt, und Weisheit ist es, zu fürchten Deinen Namen. Hört auf den Stab und Ihn, Der ihn bestellt.
10 Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things that you acquired by cheating [others]? Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you used false measures [when you bought and sold things]? Those are things that I hate.
Sind nicht noch im Haus des Ungerechten der Ungerechtigkeit Schätze, und das magere Ephah, das verfluchte?
11 [Do you think] that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly, and who use weights that are not accurate?
Sollte Ich lautersprechen sie mit der ungerechten Waage und mit dem Beutel, mit Gewichten des Betrugs?
12 The rich people among you always act violently [to get money from poor people]. All of the people [in Jerusalem] are liars, and they [SYN] always deceive people.
Wo die Reichen voll sind von Gewalttat, und deren Einwohner Lüge reden, und deren Zunge Trug ist in ihrem Munde?
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Und auch Ich bin müde, dich zu schlagen, dich zu verwüsten ob deinen Sünden.
14 [Soon] you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you; your stomachs will [still feel as though they are] empty. You will try to save up [money], but you will not be able to save anything, because I will send your enemies to take it from you in wars [MTY].
Du sollst essen und nicht satt werden, und dein Heißhunger wird in deinem Inneren sein. Und was du entrückst, sollst du nicht sichern, und was du sicherst, gebe Ich dem Schwerte.
15 You will plant [seeds], but you will not harvest [anything]. You will press olives, but [others], not you, will use the [olive] oil. You will trample on grapes [and make wine from the juice], but [others], not you, will drink the wine.
Säen wirst du und nicht ernten, wirst Oliven treten und nicht mit Öl dich salben, und Most und doch nicht Wein trinken!
16 [Those things will happen to you because] you obey [only] the wicked laws of [King] Omri, and [you do the terrible things that wicked King] Ahab and his descendants commanded. So, I will destroy your [country], and I will cause your people to be despised; people [of other nations] will insult you.’”
Und ihr haltet zu Omris Satzungen und allem Tun des Hauses Achab, und wandelt nach ihren Ratschlägen, auf daß Ich euch hingebe der Verwüstung, und die, so in ihr wohnen, dem Gezisch, und ihr die Schmach Meines Volkes tragt.
