Micah 6 (DA31) · Opened

1Hør, hvad HERREN taler: Kom, fremfør din Trætte for Bjergene, lad Højene høre din Røst!Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

2I Bjerge, hør HERRENS Trætte, lyt til, I Jordens Grundvolde! Thi HERREN har Trætte med sit Folk, med Israel går han i Rette:Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

3Hvad har jeg gjort dig, mit Folk, med hvad har jeg plaget dig? Svar!‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!

4Jeg førte dig jo op fra Ægypten og udløste dig af Trællehuset, og jeg sendte for dit Ansigt Moses, Aron og Mirjam.For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.

5Mit Folk, kom i Hu, hvad Kong Balak af Moab havde i Sinde, og hvad Bileam, Beors Søn, svarede ham, fra Sjittim til Gilgal, for at du kan kende HERRENS Retfærdsgerninger.My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”

6“Med hvad skal jeg møde HERREN, bøje mig for Højhedens Gud? Skal jeg møde ham med Brændofre, møde med årgamle Kalve?With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?

7Har HERREN Behag i Tusinder af Væddere, Titusinder af Oliestrømme? Skal jeg give min førstefødte for min Synd, mit Livs Frugt som Bod for min Sjæl?”Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8Det er sagt dig, o Menneske, hvad der er godt, og hvad HERREN kræver af dig: hvad andet end at øve Ret, gerne vise Kærlighed og vandre ydmygt med din Gud.He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9Hør, HERREN råber til Byen (at frygte dit Navn er Visdom): Hør, Stamme og Byens Menighed!The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.

10Skal jeg tåle Skattene i den gudløses Hus og den magre, forbandede Efa,Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

11tilgive Gudløsheds Vægt og Pungen med falske Lodder?Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?

12Dens Rigmænd er fulde af Vold, dens Borgeres Tale er Løgn, og Tungen er falsk i deres Mund.For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.

13Derfor tog jeg til at slå dig, ødelægge dig for dine Synder.Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.

14Du skal spise, men ikke mættes, lige tomt skal dit Indre være; hvad du hengemmer, skal du ej bjærge, og hvad du bjærger, giver jeg Sværdet;You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.

15du skal så, men ikke høste, perse Oliven, men ikke salve dig, perse Most, men ej drikke Vin.You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.

16Du fulgte Omris Skikke, al Akabs Huses Færd; I vandrede efter deres Råd, så jeg må gøre dig til Ørk og Byens Borgere til Spot; Folkenes Hån skal I bære.You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
