Micah 6

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 Now listen to what Yahweh says: 'Stand up, state your case to the mountains and let the hills hear whatyou have to say!'	1 Audite quæ Dominus loquitur : Surge, contende judicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam.
2 Listen, mountains, to the case as Yahweh puts it, give ear, you foundations of the earth, for Yahweh hasa case against his people and he wil argue it with Israel.	2 Audiant montes judicium Domini, et fortia fundamenta terræ ; quia judicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israël dijudicabitur.
3 'My people, what have I done to you, how have I made you tired of me? Answer me!	3 Popule meus, quid feci tibi ? aut quid molestus fui tibi ? Responde mihi.
4 For I brought you up from Egypt, I ransomed you from the place of slave-labour and sent Moses, Aaronand Miriam to lead you.	4 Quia eduxi te de terra Ægypti, et de domo servientium liberavi te, et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen, et Aaron, et Mariam.
5 My people, please remember: what was Balak king of Moab's plan and how did Balaam son of Beoranswer him? . . . from Shittim to Gilgal, for you to know Yahweh's saving justice.	5 Popule meus, memento, quæso, quid cogitaverit Balach, rex Moab, et quid responderit ei Balaam, filius Beor, de Setim usque ad Galgalam, ut cognosceres justitias Domini.
6 'With what shal I enter Yahweh's presence and bow down before God All-high? Shall I enter with burntofferings, with calves one year old?	6 Quid dignum offeram Domino ? curvabo genu Deo excelso ? Numquid offeram ei holocautomata et vitulos anniculos ?
7 Wil he be pleased with rams by the thousand, with ten thousand streams of oil? Shal I offer my eldestson for my wrong-doing, the child of my own body for my sin?	7 numquid placari potest Dominus in millibus arietum, aut in multis millibus hircorum pinguium ? numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo, fructum ventris mei pro peccato animæ meæ ?
8 'You have already been told what is right and what Yahweh wants of you. Only this, to do what is right,to love loyalty and to walk humbly with your God.'	8 Indicabo tibi, o homo, quid sit bonum, et quid Dominus requirat a te : utique facere judicium, et diligere misericordiam, et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo.
9 Yahweh's voice! He thunders to the city, 'Listen, tribe of assembled citizens!	9 Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat, et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum : audite, tribus, et quis approbabit illud ?
10 Can I overlook the false measure, that abomination, the short bushel?	10 Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor iræ plena.
11 Can I connive at rigged scales and at the bag of fraudulent weights?	11 Numquid justificabo stateram impiam, et saccelli pondera dolosa ?
12 For the rich there are steeped in violence, and the citizens there are habitual liars.	12 In quibus divites ejus repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum.
13 'I myself have therefore begun to strike you down, to bring you to ruin for your sins.	13 Et ego ergo cœpi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis.
14 You wil eat but not be satisfied; you wil store up but never keep safe; what you do keep safe I shalhand over to the sword;	14 Tu comedes, et non saturaberis, et humiliatio tua in medio tui : et apprehendes, et non salvabis, et quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo.
15 you wil sow but wil not reap, press the olive but wil not rub yourself with oil, tread the grape but wilnot drink the wine.	15 Tu seminabis, et non metes : tu calcabis olivam, et non ungeris oleo ; et mustum, et non bibes vinum.
16 'For you keep the laws of Omri; what the House of Ahab did, you have done; by model ing yourselveson their standards, you force me to make an appal ing example of you and reduce your citizens to a laughing-stock; hence you wil endure the scorn of other peoples.'	16 Et custodisti præcepta Amri, et omne opus domus Achab, et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum : ut darem te in perditionem, et habitantes in ea in sibilum, et opprobrium populi mei portabitis.
