< Micah 6 >

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.
Ita, denggem no ania ti kuna ni Yahweh. Kinuna ni Mikias kenkuana, “Bumangonka ket idatagmo ti kasom iti kabanbantayan; bay- am a mangngeg dagiti turod ti timekmo.
2 Hear, you mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
Denggenyo ti darum ni Yahweh, dakayo a kabanbantayan, ken dakayo a naandor a pamuon iti daga. Ta adda darum ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona, ket ilabanna iti pangukoman a maibusor iti Israel.”
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me.
Tattaok, ania ti inaramidko kadakayo? Kasano koma a binannogkayo? Agsaksikayo a maibusor kaniak!
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.
Ta inruarkayo iti daga ti Egipto ket insalakankayo iti balay ti pannakaadipen. Imbaonko kadakayo ni Moises, ni Aaron, kenni Miriam.
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."
Tattaok, lagipenyo ti pinanggep ni Balak nga ari ti Moab, ken ania ti insungbat kenkuana ni Balaam nga anak ni Beor, bayat a mapmapankayo manipud Sittim agingga iti Gilgal, tapno maammoanyo ti nalinteg nga inaramidko, Siak a ni Yahweh.”
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?
Ania ti rumbeng nga idatagko kenni Yahweh, kas agrukbabak iti kangatoan a Dios? Nasken kadi nga umayak kenkuana nga addaan ti daton a mapuoran, iti urbon a baka a natawenan?
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?
Maay-ayo ngata ni Yahweh kadagiti rinibu a karnero a kalakian, wenno dagiti sangapulo-ribu a karayan iti lana? Itedko kadi ti inauna nga anakko a para iti salungasingko, ti bunga ti bagik a para iti basolko?
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?
Imbagana kenka, O tao, no ania ti naimbag, ken ania ti sapsapulen ni Yahweh kenka: Aramidem ti nalinteg, ayatem ti kina-imbag, ken magnaka a sipapakumbaba iti Diosmo.
9 The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
Ti timek ni Yahweh ket agiwarwaragawag iti siudad— uray ti kinasirib ket bigbigenna ti naganmo: “Ipangagmo ti sarukod, ken ti nangisaad daytoy iti ayanna.
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
Adda kinabaknang kadagiti babbalay dagiti managdakdakes ken naulbod, dagiti ulbod a timbangan a makarimon.
11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
Ibilangko kadi nga awan basol ti maysa a tao no mangaramat isuna iti nakusit a pagtimbangan, nga addaan ti supot dagiti manangallilaw a pagtimbangan?
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Dagiti nabaknang a tattao a napnoan ti kinaranggas, dagiti agnanaed sadiay ket agsaoda iti inuulbod, ken ti dila kadagiti ngiwatda ket manangallilaw.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Ngarud, sugatenka iti nakaro, pinagbalinka a pakadadaelan gapu kadagiti basolmo.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
Manganka ngem saanka a mapnek; addanto latta kenka ti kinaunga-ong. Agidulinka ngem saanka a maka-urnong, ket ti maurnongmo ket iyawatkonto iti kampilan.
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.
Agmulaka ngem saankanto nga agapit; agbaddekka iti olibo ngem saanmo a masapsapuan ta bagim iti lana; agpespeska iti ubas ngem awan ti mainummo nga arak.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
Sinalimetmetam dagiti allagaden nga inaramid ni Omri, ken dagiti amin nga ar-aramid iti balay ni Ahab. Nagnaka babaen kadagiti balakadda. Isu a sika a siudad, pagbalinenka a dadael, ken dakayo nga agnanaed ket pagbalinekto a malalais, ket awitenyonto ti pannakaibabain a kas kadagiti tattaok.”
