Hear now the word of the Lord: the Lord said, Rise up, be judged before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

βουνοί τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ κυρίου καὶ αἱ φάραγγες θεμέλια τῆς γῆς ὅτι κρίσις τῷ κυρίῳ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ Ισραηλ διελεγχθήσεται
Hear, O hills, the judgment of the Lord, and, O foundations of the earth, the valleys, for the Lord has a judgment with his people, and with Israel he will be reproved.
My people, what have I done to you, or what have I grieved you, or what have I troubled you with? Answer me.
ἀνήγαγόν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας ἐλυτρωσάμην σε καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα πρὸ προσώπου σου τὸν Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων καὶ Μαριαμ
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and out of a house of slavery I redeemed you, and I sent before your face Moses and Aaron and Miriam
μου μνήσθητι δὴ τί ἐβουλεύσατο κατὰ σοῦ Βαλακ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ καὶ τί ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Βαλααμ υἱὸς τοῦ Βεωρ ἀπὸ τῶν σχοίνων ἕως τοῦ Γαλγαλ ὅπως γνωσθῇ ἡ δικαιοσύνη τοῦ κυρίου
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab counseled against you, and what Balaam son of Beor answered him, from the ropes to Gilgal, so that the righteousness of the Lord might be known
τίνι καταλάβω τὸν κύριον ἀντιλήμψομαι θεοῦ μου ὑψίστου εἰ καταλήμψομαι αὐτὸν ἐν ὁλοκαυτώμασιν ἐν μόσχοις ἐνιαυσίοις
With what shall I overtake the Lord? Shall I take hold of my God Most High? If I shall take hold of him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
προσδέξεται κύριος ἐν χιλιάσιν κριῶν ἢ ἐν μυριάσιν χειμάρρων πιόνων εἰ δῶ πρωτότοκά μου ἀσεβείας καρπὸν κοιλίας μου ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας ψυχῆς μου
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of fat streams? If I give my firstborn for impiety, the fruit of my belly for the sin of my soul?
ἀνηγγέλη σοι ἄνθρωπε τί καλόν ἢ τί κύριος ἐκζητεῖ παρὰ σοῦ ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τοῦ ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ ἀγαπᾶν ἔλεον καὶ ἕτοιμον εἶναι τοῦ πορεύεσθαι μετὰ κυρίου θεοῦ σου
Has it been announced to you, O man, what is good, or what the Lord seeks from you, but to do justice and to love mercy, and to be ready to walk with the Lord your God?
κυρίου τῇ πόλει ἐπικληθήσεται καὶ σώσει φοβουμένους τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἄκουε φυλή καὶ τίς κοσμήσει πόλιν
The voice of the Lord shall be called to the city, and he will save those fearing his name. Hear, tribe, and who will adorn a city?
Is there not fire and a house of lawlessness, storing up lawless treasures, and with insolence injustice?
Can I be acquitted with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights?
ὧν τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν ἀσεβείας ἔπλησαν καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτὴν ἐλάλουν ψευδῆ καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτῶν ὑψώθη ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν
from which they filled their wealth with ungodliness, and those who dwell in it spoke falsehood, and their tongue was lifted up in their mouth
And I will begin to strike you; I will utterly destroy you for your sins.
φάγεσαι καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐμπλησθῇς καὶ σκοτάσει ἐν σοὶ καὶ ἐκνεύσει καὶ οὐ μὴ διασωθῇς καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν διασωθῶσιν εἰς ῥομφαίαν παραδοθήσονται
You shall eat, and you shall not be satisfied, and hunger shall be in you; and you shall remove yourself, and you shall not be saved, and as many as may be saved shall be given over to the sword
σπερεῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀμήσῃς σὺ πιέσεις ἐλαίαν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀλείψῃ ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον καὶ οὐ μὴ πίητε καὶ ἀφανισθήσεται νόμιμα λαοῦ μου
You shall sow, and you shall not reap; you shall press olive oil, and you shall not anoint with oil; and wine, and you shall not drink; and the ordinances of my people shall be brought to nothing
ἐφύλαξας τὰ δικαιώματα Ζαμβρι καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Αχααβ καὶ ἐπορεύθητε ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς αὐτῶν ὅπως παραδῶ σε εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτὴν εἰς συρισμόν καὶ ὀνείδη λαῶν λήμψεσθε
And you kept the statutes of Zimri and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walked in their counsels, so that I might give you up for destruction and its inhabitants for a hissing; and you shall receive the reproaches of peoples.
