< ميخا 6 >

اسْتَمِعُوا إِلَى مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: انْهَضْ وَأَعْلِنْ دَعْوَاكَ أَمَامَ الْجِبَالِ، وَلْتَكُنِ الأَكَامُ شَاهِدَةً عَلَى كَلاَمِكَ. ١ 1
Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
اسْتَمِعِي يَاجِبَالُ إِلَى شَكْوَى الرَّبِّ، وَأَصْغِي يَاأُسُسَ الأَرْضِ الثَّابِتَةِ، فَإِنَّ لَدَى الرَّبِّ شَكْوَى عَلَى شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’s controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
بِمَاذَا أَسَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَاشَعْبِي وَبِمَا ضَايَقْتُكَ؟ أَجِبْنِي. ٣ 3
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
لَقَدْ أَخْرَجْتُكَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَافْتَدَيْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ ٤ 4
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
اذْكُرْ يَاشَعْبِي مَا تَآمَرَ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ بَالاَقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَمَا أَجَابَهُ بِهِ بَلْعَامُ بنُ بَعُورَ. وَاذْكُرْ مَا أَحْسَنْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي رِحْلَتِكَ مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ لِكَيْ تُدْرِكَ عَدْلَ الرَّبِّ. ٥ 5
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
يَارَبُّ: بِمَاذَا أَتَقَدَّمُ عِنْدَمَا أَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَأَسْجُدُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ مِنْهُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ وَبِعُجُولٍ حَوْلِيَّةٍ؟ ٦ 6
Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, [and] bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُقَرِّبُ بِكْرِي فِدَاءَ إِثْمِي وَثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي تَكْفِيراً عَنْ خَطِيئَةِ نَفْسِي؟ ٧ 7
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn [for] my transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
لَقَدْ أَوْضَحَ لَكَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ. وَمَاذَا يَبْتَغِي مِنْكَ سِوَى أَنْ تَتَوَخَّى الْعَدْلَ، وَتُحِبَّ الرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعاً مَعَ إِلَهِكَ؟ ٨ 8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
صَوْتُ الرَّبِّ يُنَادِي فِي أَرْجَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَمِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ أَنْ يُتَّقَى اسْمُكَ. اسْتَمِعُوا يَاأَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَعْضَاءَ مَجْلِسِهَا: ٩ 9
The LORD’s voice crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
فِي بُيُوتِ الأَشْرَارِ كُنُوزٌ مَسْرُوقَةٌ ومَوَازِينُ مَغْشُوشَةٌ. ١٠ 10
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [that is] abominable?
فَكَيْفَ أُبْرِىءُ ذَا الْمَعَايِيرِ الْمَغْشُوشَةِ، صَاحِبَ كِيسِ الْمَوَازِينِ النَّاقِصَةِ؟ ١١ 11
Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
قَدِ امْتَلأَ أَثْرِيَاءُ الْمَدِينَةِ ظُلْماً، وَنَطَقَ سُكَّانُهَا بِالْكَذِبِ وَأَلْسِنَةُ الغِشِّ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ ١٢ 12
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
لِذَلِكَ شَرَعْتُ فِي تَدْمِيرِكِ لأَجْعَلَكِ خَرَاباً مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكِ. ١٣ 13
Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee, in making [thee] desolate because of thy sins.
سَتَأْكُلِينَ وَلاَ تَشْبَعِينَ، وَيَظَلُّ جَوْفُكِ خَاوِياً. وَمَا تَدَّخِرِينَهُ تَعْجِزِينَ عَنِ الاحْتِفَاظِ بِهِ. لأَنِّي أَدْفَعُهُ لِلسَّيْفِ. ١٤ 14
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down [shall be] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and [that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
تَزْرَعِينَ وَلاَ تَحْصُدِينَ. تَعْصُرِينَ الزَّيْتُونَ وَلاَ تَدَّهِنِي بِزَيْتِهِ، وَتَعْصُرِينَ الْعِنَبَ وَلاَ تَشْرَبِينَ مِنْ خَمْرِهِ. ١٥ 15
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
لأَنَّكِ قَدْ مَارَسْتِ فَرَائِضَ عُمْرِي، وَنَهَجْتِ عَلَى غِرَارِ أَخْآبَ، وَسَلَكْتِ فِي مَشُورَاتِهِمْ. لِذَلِكَ أَجْعَلُكِ خَرَاباً، وَشَعْبَكِ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ، وَتُقَاسُونَ مِنِ احْتِقَارِ الأُمَمِ. ١٦ 16
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
