1 Hør, hvad HERREN taler: Kom fremfør din Trætte for Bjergene, lad Højene høre din Røst!

1 Hear now what the Lord is saying,“Arise, plead your case before the mountains,And let the hills hear your voice.

2 I Bjerge, hør HERRENs Trætte, lyt til, I Jordens Grundvolde! Thi HERREN har Trætte med sit Folk, med Israel går han i Rette:

2 “Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the Lord,And you enduring foundations of the earth,Because the Lord has a case against His people;Even with Israel He will dispute.

3 Hvad har jeg gjort dig, mit Folk. med hvad har jeg plaget dig? Svar!

3 “My people, what have I done to you,And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.

4 Jeg førte dig jo op fra Ægypten og udløste dig af Trællehuset, og jeg sendte for dit Ansigt Moses, Aron og Mirjam.

4 “Indeed, I brought you up from the land of EgyptAnd ransomed you from the house of slavery,And I sent before you Moses, Aaron and Miriam.

5 Mit Folk, kom i Hu, hvad Kong Balak af Moab havde i Sinde, og hvad Bileam, Beors Søn, svarede ham, fra Sjittim til Gilgal, for at du kan kende HERRENs Retfærdsgerninger.

5 “My people, remember nowWhat Balak king of Moab counseledAnd what Balaam son of Beor answered him,And from Shittim to Gilgal,So that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.”

6 "Med hvad skal jeg møde HERREN, bøje mig for Højhedens Gud? Skal jeg møde ham med Brændofre, møde med årgamle Kalve?

6 With what shall I come to the LordAnd bow myself before the God on high?Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings,With yearling calves?

7 Har HERREN Behag i Tusinder af Vædre, Titusinder af Oliestrømme? Skal jeg give min førstefødte for min Synd, mit Livs Frugt som Bod for min Sjæl?"

7 Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams,In ten thousand rivers of oil?Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts,The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 Det er sagt dig, o Menneske, hvad der er godt, og hvad HERREN kræver af dig: hvad andet end at øve Ret, gerne vise Kærlighed og vandre ydmygt med din Gud.

8 He has told you, O man, what is good;And what does the Lord require of youBut to do justice, to love kindness,And to walk humbly with your God?

9 Hør, HERREN råber til Byen (at frygte dit Navn er Visdom): Hør, Stamme og Byens Menighed!

9 The voice of the Lord will call to the city—And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name:“Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?

10 Skal jeg tåle Skattene i den gudløses Hus og den magre, forbandede Efa,

10 “Is there yet a man in the wicked house,Along with treasures of wickednessAnd a short measure that is cursed?

11 tilgive Gudløsheds Vægt og Pungen med falske Lodder?

11 “Can I justify wicked scalesAnd a bag of deceptive weights?

12 Dens Rigmænd er fulde af Vold, dens Borgeres Tale er Løgn, og Tungen er falsk i deres Mund.

12 “For the rich men of the city are full of violence,Her residents speak lies,And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

13 Derfor tog jeg til at slå dig, ødelægge dig for dine Synder.

13 “So also I will make you sick, striking you down,Desolating you because of your sins.

14 Du skal spise, men ikke mættes, lige tomt skal dit Indre være; hvad du hengemmer, skal du ej bjærge, og hvad du bjærger, giver jeg Sværdet;

14 “You will eat, but you will not be satisfied,And your vileness will be in your midst.You will try to remove for safekeeping,But you will not preserve anything,And what you do preserve I will give to the sword.

15 du skal så, men ikke høste, perse Oliven, men ikke salve dig, perse Most, men ej drikke Vin.

15 “You will sow but you will not reap.You will tread the olive but will not anoint yourself with oil;And the grapes, but you will not drink wine.

16 Du fulgte Omris Skikke, al Akabs Huses Færd; I vandrede efter deres Råd, så jeg må gøre dig til Ørk og Byens Borgere til Spot; Folkenes Hån skal I bære. 

16 “The statutes of OmriAnd all the works of the house of Ahab are observed;And in their devices you walk.Therefore I will give you up for destructionAnd your inhabitants for derision,And you will bear the reproach of My people.”
