6 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica
6"With what shall I come before Yahweh,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
What the LORD requires. Mic.6.6-16בַּמָּה אֲקַדֵּם יְהוָה אִכַּף לֵאלֹהֵי מָרֹום הַאֲקַדְּמֶנּוּ בְעֹולֹות בַּעֲגָלִים בְּנֵי שָׁנָה׃
7Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my first-born for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
 הֲיִרְצֶה יְהוָה בְּאַלְפֵי אֵילִים בְּרִבְבֹות נַחֲלֵי־שָׁמֶן הַאֶתֵּן בְּכֹורִי פִּשְׁעִי פְּרִי בִטְנִי חַטַּאת נַפְשִׁי׃
8He has showed you, O man, what is good;
and what does Yahweh require of you
but to do justice,
and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
 הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם מַה־טֹּוב וּמָה־יְהוָה דֹּורֵשׁ מִמְּךָ כִּי אִם־עֲשֹׂות מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת עִם־אֱלֹהֶיךָ׃ ף
9The voice of Yahweh cries to the city -
and it is sound wisdom to fear your name:
"Hear, O tribe and assembly of the city!
 קֹול יְהוָה לָעִיר יִקְרָא וְתוּשִׁיָּה יִרְאֶה שְׁמֶךָ שִׁמְעוּ מַטֶּה וּמִי יְעָדָהּ׃
10Can I forget the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
 עֹוד הַאִשׁ בֵּית רָשָׁע אֹצְרֹות רֶשַׁע וְאֵיפַת רָזֹון זְעוּמָה׃
11Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
 הַאֶזְכֶּה בְּמֹאזְנֵי רֶשַׁע וּבְכִיס אַבְנֵי מִרְמָה׃
12Your rich men are full of violence;
your inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
 אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׁירֶיהָ מָלְאוּ חָמָס וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ דִּבְּרוּ־שָׁקֶר וּלְשֹׁונָם רְמִיָּה בְּפִיהֶם׃
13Therefore I have begun to smite you,
making you desolate because of your sins.
 וְגַם־אֲנִי הֶחֱלֵיתִי הַכֹּותֶךָ הַשְׁםֵם עַל־חַטֹּאתֶךָ׃
14You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be hunger in your inward parts;
you shall put away, but not save,
and what you save I will give to the sword.
 אַתָּה תֹאכַל וְלֹא תִשְׂבָּע וְיֶשְׁחֲךָ בְּקִרְבֶּךָ וְתַסֵּג וְלֹא תַפְלִיט וַאֲשֶׁר תְּפַלֵּט לַחֶרֶב אֶתֵּן׃
15You shall sow, but not reap;
you shall tread olives, but not anoint yourselves with oil;
you shall tread grapes, but not drink wine.
 אַתָּה תִזְרַע וְלֹא תִקְצֹור אַתָּה תִדְרֹךְ־זַיִת וְלֹא־תָסוּךְ שֶׁמֶן וְתִירֹושׁ וְלֹא תִשְׁתֶּה־יָּיִן׃
16For you have kept the statutes of Omri,
and all the works of the house of Ahab;
and you have walked in their counsels;
that I may make you a desolation,
and your inhabitants a hissing;
so you shall bear the scorn of the peoples."		 וְיִשְׁתַּמֵּר חֻקֹּות עָמְרִי וְכֹל מַעֲשֵׂה בֵית־אַחְאָב וַתֵּלְכוּ בְּמֹעֲצֹותָם לְמַעַן תִּתִּי אֹתְךָ לְשַׁמָּה וְיֹשְׁבֶיהָ לִשְׁרֵקָה וְחֶרְפַּת עַמִּי תִּשָּׂאוּ׃ ף
Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes? Please e-mail me.
