World English Bible (with Deuterocanon)
“Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say. 2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me! 4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.” 6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? 9 Yahweh’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name—
“Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it. 10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed? 11 Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights? 12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech. 13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins. 14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword. 15 You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine. 16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
Bible Crampon 1923
des myriades de torrents d’huile ?
Donnerai-je mon premier-né pour ma faute,
le fruit de mes entrailles pour le péché de mon âme ? – 8 On t’a fait connaître, ô homme, ce qui est bon,
et ce que Yahweh demande de toi :
c’est de pratiquer la justice,
d’aimer la miséricorde,
et de marcher humblement avec ton Dieu. 9 La voix de Yahweh crie à la ville,
– et c’est sagesse de prendre garde à votre nom : –
Écoutez la verge,
et celui qui l’a ordonnée ! 10 Y a-t-il encore dans la maison du méchant
des trésors iniques,
et un épha amoindri, abominable ? 11 Serais-je pur avec des balances injustes,
et de faux poids dans le sac ? 12 Les riches de cette ville sont pleins de violence,
ses habitants profèrent le mensonge,
et leur langue n’est que tromperie dans leur bouche. 13 Moi, à mon tour, je te frapperai de coups mortels,
je te dévasterai à cause de tes péchés. 14 Tu mangeras, mais sans te rassasier,
et ta faim sera au-dedans de toi ;
tu éloigneras, mais sans rien sauver,
et ce que tu sauveras, je le livrerai à l’épée. 15 Tu sèmeras, mais tu ne moissonneras pas ;
tu presseras l’olive, mais tu ne t’oindras pas d’huile ;
le moût, mais tu ne boiras pas de vin. 16 On observe les ordonnances d’Amri,
et toutes les pratiques de la maison d’Achab,
et vous marchez d’après leurs conseils,
afin que je vous livre à la destruction,
et les habitants du pays aux sifflets,
et que vous portiez l’opprobre de mon peuple.
