Ang Akusasyon sang Dios Batok sa mga Israelinhon

Nagsiling si Micas, “Pamatii ninyo ang isiling sang Ginoo sa inyo nga mga Israelinhon. Sige na, ipresentar ninyo ang inyo kaso; pabatia ninyo ang mga bukid[a] sa inyo ihambal. Kag kamo nga mga bukid kag malig-on nga mga pundasyon sang kalibutan, pamatii ninyo ang akusasyon sang Ginoo kontra sa mga Israelinhon nga iya katawhan. Amo ini ang iya akusasyon:

“Mga katawhan ko, ano bala nga sala ang nahimo ko sa inyo? Ginpabudlayan ko bala kamo? Sabta ninyo ako. Ginpaguwa ko pa gani kamo sa Egipto nga sa diin gin-ulipon kamo. Kag ginpili ko si Moises, Aaron kag si Miriam sa pagpangulo sa inyo. Mga katawhan ko, dumduma ninyo nga ginsugo ni Haring Balak sang Moab si Balaam nga anak ni Beor nga pakamalauton kamo pero ginpahambal ko si Balaam sang mga pagpakamaayo sa inyo. Dumduma man ninyo kon paano ko kamo ginbuligan sang nagpanglakaton kamo halin sa Shitim hasta sa Gilgal. Dumduma ninyo ini nga mga hitabo agod mareyalisar ninyo ang pagluwas[b] ko sa inyo.”

Nagsabat ang isa sa mga Israelinhon, “Ano bala ang ihalad ko sa Ginoo, ang Dios nga sa langit, kon magsimba ako sa iya? Mahalad bala ako sang baka nga isa ka tuig bilang halad nga ginasunog? Malipay ayhan ang Ginoo kon halaran ko siya sang linibo ka mga karnero kag madamo gid nga lana? Ihalad ko bala sa iya ang akon kamagulangan nga anak bilang bayad sa akon mga sala?”

Nagsabat si Micas, “Gintudluan kita sang Ginoo kon ano ang maayo. Kag amo ini ang iya gusto nga ipatuman sa aton: Himuon naton kon ano ang matarong, pasulabihon naton ang pagkaluoy sa iban, kag magsunod kita sa aton Dios nga may pagpaubos.”

Silutan sang Dios ang mga Israelinhon

Pamati kamo sa ginasiling sang Ginoo sa siyudad sang Jerusalem, kay ang nagatahod sa iya amo ang may husto nga kaalam:

“Kamo nga mga miyembro sang tribo sang Juda, magtipon kamo sa siyudad sang Jerusalem kag magpamati.[c] 10 Malaot kamo nga katawhan! Indi ko malimtan ang mga manggad nga natipon ninyo sa malain nga paagi. Nagagamit kamo sang indi husto nga talaksan—ang buluhaton nga akon ginapakamalaot. 11 Indi puwede nga pabay-an ko lang kamo sa inyo nga pagpangdaya sa inyo kilohan. 12 Mapintas ang inyo manggaranon nga mga tawo, kag mga butigon kamo. 13 Gani tungod sang inyo mga sala gin-umpisahan ko na ang pagsilot sa inyo para laglagon kamo. 14 Matuod nga makakaon kamo, pero indi kamo mabusog; permi gihapon kamo gutumon. Magatipon kamo sang mga patubas, pero indi ninyo ini mapuslan, kay ipakuha ko ini sa inyo mga kaaway sa tion sang inaway. 15 Magatanom kamo, pero indi kamo ang magaani sini. Magapuga kamo sang mga olibo, pero indi kamo ang magapulos sang lana sini. Magalinas kamo sang mga ubas, pero indi kamo ang magainom sang bino sini. 16 Matabo ini sa inyo tungod kay ginsunod ninyo ang malain nga mga binuhatan, mga pagsulundan, kag mga laygay ni Haring Omri kag sang panimalay ni Haring Ahab. Gani laglagon ko kamo, kag tamayon kamo kag yagutaon sang iban nga mga nasyon.”

The Lord’s Case Against Israel

Listen to what the Lord says:

“Stand up, plead my case before the mountains;(A)
    let the hills hear what you have to say.

“Hear,(B) you mountains, the Lord’s accusation;(C)
    listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth.
For the Lord has a case(D) against his people;
    he is lodging a charge(E) against Israel.

“My people, what have I done to you?
    How have I burdened(F) you?(G) Answer me.
I brought you up out of Egypt(H)
    and redeemed you from the land of slavery.(I)
I sent Moses(J) to lead you,
    also Aaron(K) and Miriam.(L)
My people, remember
    what Balak(M) king of Moab plotted
    and what Balaam son of Beor answered.
Remember your journey from Shittim(N) to Gilgal,(O)
    that you may know the righteous acts(P) of the Lord.”

With what shall I come before(Q) the Lord
    and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with calves a year old?(R)
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,(S)
    with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?(T)
Shall I offer my firstborn(U) for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?(V)
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly(W) and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly[a](X) with your God.(Y)

Israel’s Guilt and Punishment

Listen! The Lord is calling to the city—
    and to fear your name is wisdom—
    “Heed the rod(Z) and the One who appointed it.[b]
10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
    and the short ephah,[c] which is accursed?(AA)
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,(AB)
    with a bag of false weights?(AC)
12 Your rich people are violent;(AD)
    your inhabitants are liars(AE)
    and their tongues speak deceitfully.(AF)
13 Therefore, I have begun to destroy(AG) you,
    to ruin[d] you because of your sins.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied;(AH)
    your stomach will still be empty.[e]
You will store up but save nothing,(AI)
    because what you save[f] I will give to the sword.
15 You will plant but not harvest;(AJ)
    you will press olives but not use the oil,
    you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.(AK)
16 You have observed the statutes of Omri(AL)
    and all the practices of Ahab’s(AM) house;
    you have followed their traditions.(AN)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin(AO)
    and your people to derision;
    you will bear the scorn(AP) of the nations.[g]

Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

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.

O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?

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 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?

11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

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 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.

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 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 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.
