Miqueas 6
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Juicio de Dios contra su pueblo
6 Oigan ahora lo que dice el Señor:
«Levántate, litiga con los montes,
Y oigan las colinas tu voz.
2 -»Oigan, montes, la acusación del Señor,
Y ustedes, perdurables cimientos de la tierra(A),
Porque el Señor tiene litigio contra Su pueblo,
Y con Israel entablará juicio(B).
3 -»Pueblo Mío(C), ¿qué te he hecho(D),
O en qué te he molestado? ¡Respóndeme(E)!
4 -»Pues Yo te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto(F),
Y de la casa de servidumbre te redimí(G),
Y envié delante de ti a Moisés(H), a Aarón y a Miriam(I).
5 -»Pueblo Mío, acuérdate ahora
De lo que tramó Balac, rey de Moab,
Y de lo que le respondió Balaam, hijo de Beor(J),
Desde Sitim(K) hasta Gilgal(L),
Para que conozcas las justicias del Señor(M)».
La injusticia y su castigo
6 ¶¿Con qué me presentaré al Señor(N)
Y me postraré ante el Dios de lo alto?
¿Me presentaré delante de Él con holocaustos(O),
Con becerros de un año?
7 ¿Se agrada el Señor de millares de carneros(P),
De miríadas de ríos de aceite?
¿Ofreceré mi primogénito por mi rebeldía(Q),
El fruto de mis entrañas por el pecado de mi alma?
8 Él te ha declarado(R), oh hombre, lo que es bueno.
¿Y qué es lo que demanda el Señor de ti(S),
Sino solo practicar la justicia[a](T), amar la misericordia[b](U),
Y andar humildemente con tu Dios(V)?
9 ¶La voz del Señor clamará a la ciudad
(Prudente es temer Tu nombre):
«Escucha, oh tribu, ¿quién ha señalado su tiempo?
10 -»¿Hay todavía alguien en casa del impío
Con tesoros de impiedad(W)
Y medida[c] escasa(X) que es maldita?
11 -»¿Puedo justificar balanzas falsas(Y)
Y bolsa de pesas engañosas?
12 -»Porque los ricos de la ciudad están llenos de violencia(Z),
Sus habitantes hablan mentiras(AA)
Y su lengua es engañosa en su boca(AB).
13 -»Por eso Yo también te haré enfermar(AC), hiriéndote,
Asolándote(AD) por tus pecados.
14 -»Tú comerás, pero no te saciarás(AE),
Y tu maldad estará en medio de ti.
Apartarás, pero nada salvarás(AF),
Y lo que salves, Yo lo entregaré a la espada.
15 -»Sembrarás, pero no segarás(AG);
Pisarás la oliva, pero no te ungirás con aceite,
Y la uva, pero no beberás vino(AH).
16 -»Han sido guardados los estatutos de Omri(AI)
Y todas las obras de la casa de Acab(AJ),
Y andas en sus consejos(AK).
Por tanto te entregaré a la destrucción(AL),
Y a tus habitantes a la burla(AM).
Ustedes tendrán que soportar el oprobio de Mi pueblo(AN)».
Micah 6
King James Version
6 Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
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 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
Micah 6
English Standard Version
The Indictment of the Lord
6 (A)Hear what the Lord says:
Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
and let the hills hear your voice.
2 (B)Hear, you mountains, (C)the indictment of the Lord,
and you enduring foundations of the earth,
for the Lord has an indictment against his people,
and he will contend with Israel.
3 “O my people, (D)what have I done to you?
(E)How have I wearied you? Answer me!
4 For (F)I brought you up from the land of Egypt
and (G)redeemed you from the house of slavery,
and I sent before you Moses,
Aaron, and (H)Miriam.
5 O my people, remember (I)what Balak king of Moab devised,
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
and what happened from (J)Shittim to Gilgal,
that you may know (K)the righteous acts of the Lord.”
What Does the Lord Require?
6 (L)“With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before (M)God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 (N)Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
(O)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and (P)what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]
and to (Q)walk humbly with your God?
Destruction of the Wicked
9 The voice of the Lord cries to the city—
and it is sound wisdom to fear (R)your name:
“Hear of (S)the rod and of him who appointed it![c]
10 Can I forget any longer the treasures[d] of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man (T)with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your[e] rich men are (U)full of violence;
your inhabitants (V)speak lies,
and (W)their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,
(X)making you desolate because of your sins.
14 (Y)You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be hunger within you;
you shall put away, but not preserve,
and what you preserve I will give to the sword.
15 (Z)You shall sow, but not reap;
you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
16 For you have kept the statutes of (AA)Omri,[f]
and all the works of the house of (AB)Ahab;
and you have walked in their counsels,
that I may make you (AC)a desolation, and your[g] inhabitants (AD)a hissing;
so you shall bear (AE)the scorn of my people.”
