Michas 6
1 Klausāties jel, ko Tas Kungs saka: “Celies, tiesājies ar kalniem, un pakalni lai dzird tavu balsi.”
Hear now what the Lord is saying: Arise, present your complaint before the mountains, let the hills hear your voice!
2 Klausāties, kalni, Tā Kunga tiesāšanos un jūs stiprie zemes pamati, jo Tam Kungam ir tiesas lieta ar Saviem ļaudīm, un Viņš grib tiesāties ar Israēli.
Hear, mountains, the Lord’s accusation, listen, foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people. He has a dispute with Israel.
3 “Ak Mana tauta, ko Es tev esmu darījis? Ar ko Es tevi esmu apgrūtinājis? Atbildi Man!
‘My people, what have I done to you. How have I displeased you? Answer me!
4 Gan Es tevi esmu izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes un tevi izpestījis no vergu nama un tavā priekšā sūtījis Mozu un Āronu un Mirjamu.
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, from the land of slavery I redeemed you. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
5 Mana tauta, piemini jel, ko Balaks, Moaba ķēniņš, izdomāja, un ko Bileāms, Peora dēls, viņam atbildēja, no Sitimas līdz Gilgalai, lai tu atzīsti Tā Kunga taisnību.”
My people, what did Balak, king of Moab counsel? And how did Balaam, the son of Beor, answer him? Remember now the journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you might realise the just deeds of the Lord.’
6 Ar ko es iešu pretī Tam Kungam? Kā zemošos tā augstā Dieva priekšā? Vai iešu Viņam pretī ar dedzināmiem upuriem, ar gada veciem teļiem.
With what should I come before the Lord? Bow myself before the God on high? Should I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Vai Tam Kungam būtu labs prāts pie tūkstošiem auniem? Vai pie desmit tūkstošām eļļas upēm? Vai došu savu pirmdzimto par savu noziegumu, savas miesas augli par savas dvēseles grēkiem?
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, With ten thousand streams of oil? Should I give him my firstborn son for my guilt, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Viņš tev, cilvēks, darījis zināmu, kas labs, un ko Tas Kungs no tevis prasa: tikai taisnību darīt, žēlastību mīlēt un pazemīgi staigāt sava Dieva priekšā.
The Lord has told you what is good, what he demands of you: Only to do justice and love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
9 Tā Kunga balss sauc pilsētai un gudrība ir Tavu Vārdu bīties: “Klausies to rīksti(zizli) un Kas to draud.
Listen! The Lord calls to the city! Listen, tribe and assembly of the city!
10 Vai bezdievīga namā vēl paliek netaisnas mantas un tā sasodītā mazā ēfa?
‘Can I forget the hoarded treasures in the houses of the wicked, and the accursed scant measure?
11 Vai nenoziedzīgs būšu pie bezdievīga svara un pie maisa ar viltīgiem svara akmeņiem?
Can I leave her unpunished because of evil scales, and the bag of false weights?
12 Viņas bagātie piepildās ar varas darbu, un viņas iedzīvotāji runā melus, un viņu mēle ir viltīga viņu mutē!
Whose rich people are full of violence, her inhabitants liars, whose tongues speak deceit?
13 Tādēļ arī Es tevi ievainošu, un tevi sitīšu un postīšu tavu grēku dēļ.
‘But I indeed, have begun to punish you, to lay you in ruins because of your sins.
14 Tu ēdīsi, bet nepieēdīsies, un tavs vēders būs tukšs; un ko tu nesīsi, to tu neaiznesīsi, un ko tu aiznesīsi, to es nodošu zobenam.
You will eat but not be satisfied, your stomach empty within you. You will store up but lose everything, because whatever you save I will give to the sword.
15 Tu sēsi, bet nepļausi, tu mīsi eļļas ogas, bet ar eļļu nesvaidīsies, un jaunu vīnu(darināsi), bet vīna nedzersi.
You will sow but not reap. You will tread the olives but have no oil for rubbing, tread grapes but drink no wine!
16 Jo tur cienī Omrus ieradumu un visus Ahaba nama darbus, un jūs staigājat viņu padomos. Tādēļ Es tevi nodošu par postu un viņas iedzīvotājus par apsmieklu, un jūs nesīsiet Manu ļaužu negodu.”
‘For you have followed the commands of Omri, and all the practices of the house of Ahab. You have acted in accord with their counsels, so I will give you up to ruin, the city’s inhabitants to derision. The nations will treat you with contempt!’
