Micah, 6

1. Listen to what the Lord says: Rise, contend in judgment against the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

1. Èujte, dakle, rijeè koju govori Jahve: "Ustani! Povedi parnicu pred gorama, i neka bregovi èuju tvoj glas!"

2. Let the mountains listen to the judgment of the Lord, and the strong foundations of the earth. For the judgment of the Lord is with his people, and he will enter into judgment with Israel.

2. Slušajte, gore, parnicu Jahvinu, èujte, temelji zemaljski, jer Jahve se parbi s narodom svojim, on se parnièi s Izraelom:

3. My people, what have I done to you, or how have I assailed you? Respond to me.

3. "Narode moj, što sam ti uèinio? Èime sam te zamorio? Odgovori mi.

4. For I led you out of the land of Egypt, and I freed you from the house of servitude, and I sent before your face Moses, and Aaron, and Miriam.

4. Ja sam tebe izveo iz zemlje egipatske, izbavio te iz kuæe ropstva; poslao sam pred tobom Mojsija, Arona i Mirjamu.

5. My people, remember, I ask you, what Balak the king of Moab planned, and how Balaam the son of Beor responded to him, from Shittim even to Gilgal, so that you may know the justice of the Lord.

5. Narode moj, sjeti se sada: Što je bio naumio Balak, kralj moapski? Što je njemu odgovorio Bileam, sin Beorov? ...od Šitima do Gilgala, da poznaš pravedna djela Jahvina."

6. What worthy thing might I offer to the Lord, as I bend the knee before God on high? How could I offer holocausts to him, and one year-old calves?

6. "S èime æu doæi pred Jahvu, hoæu li pasti nièice pred Bogom Svevišnjim? Hoæu li doæi preda nj sa žrtvom paljenicom, s teocima od jedne godine?

7. Would the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with many thousands of fat he-goats? How could I give up my firstborn because of my evil deed, the fruit of my womb because of the sin of my soul?

7. Hoæe li mu biti mile tisuæe ovnova, tisuæe tisuæa potokÄa ulja? Treba li prinijeti sina prvoroðenog zbog svoga zloèina, plod svoje utrobe zbog grijeha koji sam poèinio?"

8. I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.

8. "Objavljeno ti je, èovjeèe, što je dobro, što Jahve traži od tebe: samo èiniti pravicu, milosrðe ljubiti i smjerno sa svojim Bogom hoditi."

9. The voice of the Lord cries out to the city, “Listen, you tribes,” and who will confirm it? And salvation will be for those who fear your name.

9. Jahvin glas vièe gradu: "Slušajte, vi plemenjaci i sabore gradski!

10. Nevertheless, there is a fire in the house of the impious, the treasury of iniquity, and a small measure, filled with wrath.

10. Zar mogu podnositi krivo steèeno blago i patvorenu efu prokletu?

11. Shall I justify unfaithful balances, and the deceitful weighing of a small bag?

11. Mogu li opravdati onoga koji se služi mjerom krivom, vreæom krivotvorenih utega?

12. By this, her wealthy have been filled with iniquity, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue was deceitful in their mouth.

12. Bogataši vaši puni su okrutnosti, stanovnici vaši laž govore, varljiv je jezik u njihovim ustima!

13. And I, therefore, began to strike you with perdition because of your sins.

13. Zato sam te i ja poèeo udarati, tamaniti zbog grijeha tvojih.

14. You will consume and not be satisfied, and your humiliation will be in your midst. And you will take hold, and not save, and those whom you will save, I will deliver to the sword.

14. Jest æeš, a neæeš se nasititi, gladan æeš ostati; stavljat æeš na stranu, a ništa neæeš saèuvati; ako što i saèuvaš, ja æu maèu predati.

15. You will sow, and not reap. You will tread the olives, and not be anointed with oil, and crush the grapes, and not drink the wine.

15. Sijat æeš, ali neæeš žeti; tijestit æeš maslinu, a ulja neæe biti; gazit æeš mošt, a vina neæeš piti.

16. For you have kept the precepts of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you have walked according their wills, so that I should give you over to perdition and its hissing inhabitants, and you would carry the disgrace of my people.

16. Držiš se zakona Omrijevih i svih djela doma Ahabova, živiš po osnovama njihovim: uèinit æu od tebe pustinju, od žitelja tvojih porugu, da nosite sramotu mnogih naroda."
