Michaeas 6

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Audite quæ Dominus loquitur : Surge, contende judicio adversum montes, et audiant colles vocem tuam.	1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Audiant montes judicium Domini, et fortia fundamenta terræ ; quia judicium Domini cum populo suo, et cum Israël dijudicabitur.	2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 Popule meus, quid feci tibi ? aut quid molestus fui tibi ? Responde mihi.	3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 Quia eduxi te de terra Ægypti, et de domo servientium liberavi te, et misi ante faciem tuam Moysen, et Aaron, et Mariam.	4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
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.	5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Quid dignum offeram Domino ? curvabo genu Deo excelso ? Numquid offeram ei holocautomata et vitulos anniculos ?	6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
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 ?	7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
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.	8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Vox Domini ad civitatem clamat, et salus erit timentibus nomen tuum : audite, tribus, et quis approbabit illud ?	9 The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Adhuc ignis in domo impii thesauri iniquitatis, et mensura minor iræ plena.	10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Numquid justificabo stateram impiam, et saccelli pondera dolosa ?	11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 In quibus divites ejus repleti sunt iniquitate, et habitantes in ea loquebantur mendacium, et lingua eorum fraudulenta in ore eorum.	12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Et ego ergo cœpi percutere te perditione super peccatis tuis.	13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Tu comedes, et non saturaberis, et humiliatio tua in medio tui : et apprehendes, et non salvabis, et quos salvaveris, in gladium dabo.	14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
15 Tu seminabis, et non metes : tu calcabis olivam, et non ungeris oleo ; et mustum, et non bibes vinum.	15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
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.	16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
