< Micah 6 >

1 Hear, I pray you, that which Jehovah is saying: 'Rise — strive thou with the mountains, And cause thou the hills to hear thy voice.'
Ẹ fi etí sí ohun tí Olúwa wí: “Dìde dúró, bẹ ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún ẹjọ́ rẹ níwájú òkè ńlá; sì jẹ́ kí àwọn òkè kéékèèké gbọ́ ohun tí ó fẹ́ wí.
2 Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones — foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to Jehovah, with His people, And with Israel He doth reason.
“Gbọ́, ìwọ òkè ńlá, ẹ̀sùn Olúwa; gbọ́, ìwọ ìpìlẹ̀ ilé ayérayé. Nítorí Olúwa ń bá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wíjọ́; òun yóò sì bá Israẹli rojọ́.
3 O My people, what have I done to thee? And what — have I wearied thee? Testify against Me.
“Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi, kí ni mo ṣe fún yín? Àti nínú kí ni mo ti dá yin lágara? Dá mi lóhùn.
4 For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Nítorí èmi mú un yín gòkè láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá, mo sì rà yín padà láti ilẹ̀ ẹrú wá. Mo rán Mose láti darí yín, bákan náà mo rán Aaroni àti Miriamu síwájú rẹ̀.
5 O My people, remember, I pray you, What counsel did Balak king of Moab, What answer him did Balaam son of Beor, (From Shittim unto Gilgal, ) In order to know the righteous acts of Jehovah.'
Ìwọ ènìyàn mi, rántí ohun tí Balaki ọba Moabu gbèrò àti ohun tí Balaamu ọmọ Beori dáhùn. Rántí ìrìnàjò rẹ̀ láti Ṣittimu dé Gilgali, kí ìwọ ba le mọ òdodo Olúwa.”
6 With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves — sons of a year?
Kí ni èmi yóò ha mú wá síwájú Olúwa tí èmi ó fi tẹ ara mi ba níwájú Ọlọ́run gíga? Kí èmi ha wá sí iwájú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun, pẹ̀lú ọmọ màlúù ọlọ́dún kan?
7 Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Ǹjẹ́ Olúwa yóò ní inú dídùn sí ẹgbẹgbàarùn-ún àgbò, tàbí sí ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ìṣàn òróró? Èmi yóò ha fi àkọ́bí mi sílẹ̀ fún ìré-òfin-kọjá mi, èso inú ara mi fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ọkàn mi?
8 He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except — to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?
Ó ti fihàn ọ́, ìwọ ènìyàn, ohun tí ó dára, àti ohun tí Olúwa ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ? Bí kò ṣe láti ṣe òtítọ́, kí o sì fẹ́ràn àánú, àti kí o rìn ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
9 A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.
Gbọ́! Ohùn Olúwa kígbe sí ìlú ńlá náà, láti jẹ ọlọ́gbọ́n ni láti bẹ̀rù orúkọ rẹ. “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀pá rẹ̀ gbọ́ ọ̀pá àti Ẹni náà tí ó yàn án.
10 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?
Ǹjẹ́ ìṣúra ìwà búburú ha wà ní ilé ènìyàn búburú síbẹ̀, àti òsùwọ̀n àìkún tí ó jẹ́ ohun ìbínú?
11 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
Ǹjẹ́ èmi ha lè kà wọ́n sí mímọ́ pẹ̀lú òsùwọ̀n búburú, pẹ̀lú àpò òsùwọ̀n ẹ̀tàn?
12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ inú rẹ̀ kún fún ìwà ipá; àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀ ti ọ̀rọ̀ èké àti ahọ́n wọn ń sọ ẹ̀tàn?
13 And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.
Nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ọ ṣàìsàn ní lílù ọ́, láti sọ ọ́ dahoro nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ.
14 Thou — thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give.
Ìwọ yóò jẹun ṣùgbọ́n kì yóò yó; ìyàn yóò wà láàrín rẹ. Ìwọ yóò kó pamọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò lò láìléwu, nítorí ohun tí ìwọ kò pamọ́ ni èmi yóò fi fún idà.
15 Thou — thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou — thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine — and thou drinkest not wine.
Ìwọ yóò gbìn ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò kórè ìwọ yóò tẹ olifi, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò fi òróró rẹ̀ kún ara rẹ; ìwọ yóò tẹ èso àjàrà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kì yóò mu wáìnì.
16 And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels, For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear!
Nítorí tí ìwọ ti pa òfin Omri mọ́, àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ ilé Ahabu, tí ó sì ti tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn wọn, nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe mú ọ fún ìparun àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fún ìfiṣe ẹlẹ́yà; ìwọ yóò sì ru ẹ̀gàn àwọn ènìyàn mi.”
