Michea 6

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Audite, quae Dominus loqui tur: “ Surge, contende iudicio coram montibus, et audiant colles vocem tuam ”.	1 Hear, then, what the LORD says: Arise, present your plea before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice!
2 Audite, montes, iudicium Domini, et auscultate, fundamenta terrae; quia iudicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israel iudicio contendit.	2 Hear, O mountains, the plea of the LORD, pay attention, O foundations of the earth! For the LORD has a plea against his people, and he enters into trial with Israel.
3 “ Popule meus, quid feci tibi et quid molestus fui tibi? Responde mihi.	3 O my people, what have I done to you, or how have I wearied you? Answer me!
4 Ego eduxi te de terra Aegypti et de domo servientium liberavi te et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen et Aaron et Mariam.	4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, from the place of slavery I released you; And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Popule meus, memento, quaeso, quid cogitaverit Balac rex Moab, et quid responderit ei Balaam filius Beor, de Settim usque ad Galgalam, ut cognoscas iustitias Domini ”.	5 My people, remember what Moab's King Balak planned, and how Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him . . . from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the just deeds of the LORD.
6 “ Quid dignum offeram Domino, dum curvo genu Deo excelso? Numquid offeram ei holocautomata et vitulos anniculos?	6 With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow before God most high? Shall I come before him with holocausts, with calves a year old?
7 Numquid placebunt Domino milia arietum, multa milia torrentium olei? Numquid dabo primogenitum meum pro scelere meo, fructum ventris mei pro peccato animae meae?”.	7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with myriad streams of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my crime, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Indicatum est tibi, o homo, quid sit bonum, et quid Dominus quaerat a te: utique facere iudicium et diligere caritatem et sollicitum ambulare cum Deo tuo.	8 You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.
9 Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat - et sapientia est timere nomen tuum -: “ Audite, tribus et coetus civitatis!	9 Hark! the LORD cries to the city. (It is wisdom to fear your name!) Hear, O tribe and city council,
10 Numquid tolerabo batum iniquum et ephi minus maledictum?	10 Am I to bear any longer criminal hoarding and the meager ephah that is accursed?
11 Numquid iustificabo stateram impiam et saccelli pondera dolosa?	11 Shall I acquit criminal balances, bags of false weights?
12 Quia divites eius repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum.	12 You whose rich men are full of violence, whose inhabitants speak falsehood with deceitful tongues in their heads!
13 Ego ergo coepi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis.	13 Rather I will begin to strike you with devastation because of your sins.
14 Tu comedes et non saturaberis, et sordes tuae in medio tui. Tu removebis et non salvabis; et, quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo.	14 You shall eat, without being satisfied, food that will leave you empty; What you acquire, you cannot save; what you do save, I will deliver up to the sword.
15 Tu seminabis et non metes, tu calcabis olivam et non ungeris oleo, mustum et non bibes vinum.	15 You shall sow, yet not reap, tread out the olive, yet pour no oil, and the grapes, yet drink no wine.
16 Custodisti praecepta Amri et omne opus domus Achab; et ambulasti in voluntatibus eorum, ut darem te in perditionem et habitantes tuos in sibilum: et opprobrium populorum portabitis ”.	16 You have kept the decrees of Omri, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you have walked in their counsels; Therefore I will deliver you up to ruin, and your citizens to derision; and you shall bear the reproach of the nations.
