Micah 6
1 Listen to what the Lord is saying. Stand up and plead your case. Let the mountains and the hills hear your voice.
Teererai zvinotaurwa naJehovha: “Simukai, taurai nyaya yenyu pamberi pamakomo; zvikomo ngazvinzwe zvamunoda kutaura.
2 And now, mountains, hear the Lord's argument. Listen, everlasting foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
Chinzwai imi makomo, kupomera kwaJehovha; teererai, imi hwaro hwenyika hunogara nokusingaperi. Nokuti Jehovha ane mhosva yaari kupa vanhu vake; anopa Israeri mhosva.
3 My people, what have I done to you? What is it that I have done to make you tired of me?
“Vanhu vangu, chiiko chandakakuitirai? Ndakakuremedzai neiko? Ndipindurei.
4 For I brought you out of the land of Egypt and rescued you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
Ndakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti uye akakudzikinurai kubva munyika youranda. Ndakatuma Mozisi kuti azokutungamirirai, naAroniwo naMiriamu.
5 My people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, planned to do, and what Balaam, son of Beor, told him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so you could know all the good things the Lord does.
Vanhu vangu, rangarirai zvakaranganwa naBharaki mambo weMoabhu nezvakapindurwa naBharamu mwanakomana waBheori. Rangarirai rwendo rwenyu kubva kuShitimu kusvika kuGirigari, kuti mugoziva mabasa akarurama aJehovha.”
6 What should I take with me when I approach the Lord, when I bow down before the God of heaven? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Ndichauya neiko pamberi paJehovha. Uye ndigokotama sei pamberi paMwari anokudzwa? Ndingauye pamberi pake nezvibayiro zvinopiswa nemhuru dzine gore rimwe here?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I sacrifice my firstborn child for my rebellion, my own flesh and blood for the sins I have committed?
Ko, Jehovha angafadzwa nezviuru zvamakondobwe, uye nezviuru gumi zvenzizi dzamafuta here? Ndingapa dangwe rangu nokuda kwokudarika kwangu, icho chibereko chomuviri wangu pamusoro pokutadza kwomweya wangu here?
8 The Lord has told you what is good, and what the Lord asks from you: to do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk in humility with your God.
Akakuratidza, iwe munhu, kuti zvakanaka ndezvipi. Uye ndezvipi zvinodiwa naJehovha kubva kwauri? Kuita zvakarurama uye kufarira kunzwira ngoni, nokufamba naMwari wako wakazvininipisa.
9 The voice of the Lord calls to the city—to respect your name is to be wise—pay attention to the rod and who summoned it.
Teererai! Jehovha anodanidzira kuguta, uye kutya zita renyu ndihwo uchenjeri: “Chenjererai shamhu naIye akaituma.
10 Are there still ill-gotten gains in the houses of the wicked? Are they still using dishonest measures in selling grain?
Ndichazokanganwa here, iwe imba yakaipa, upfumi hwako hwakawanikwa nenzira dzakaipa, nechiero cheefa chakatapudzwa, chakatukwa?
11 How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights?
Ndingaregerera munhu ane chiero chinonyengera nesaga rezviero zvenhema here?
12 Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit.
Vapfumi vake vanoita nechisimba; vanhu vake varevi venhema, uye miromo yavo inotaura nokunyengera.
13 So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.
Naizvozvo, ndatotanga kukuparadzai, kukuitai dongo nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu.
14 You will eat, but never be satisfied; inside you will still feel hungry. Even though you try to save money, what you save won't be worth anything because I will give it to the sword.
Muchadya asi hamungaguti: dumbu renyu richaramba risina chinhu. Muchaisa mudura asi mugoshaya zvamachengeta, nokuti zvamunounganidza ndichazviparadza nomunondo.
15 You will sow, but you won't reap; you will press your olives, but not use the oil; you will make your wine, but drink none of it.
Muchadyara asi hamungakohwi; muchasvina maorivhi asi hamungazori mafuta acho, muchasvina mazambiringa asi hamunganwi waini yacho.
16 You have kept the laws of Omri, and adopted all the practices of the house of Ahab, you have followed their ways. So I will make your country desolate and the people who live there an object of scorn; you will bear the shame of my people.
Makachengeta zvirevo zvaOmuri uye namabasa ose eimba yaAhabhu, uye makatevera tsika dzavo. Naizvozvo ndichakuisai mukuparadzwa, nevanhu venyu mukusekwa; muchatakura kushorwa kwendudzi.”
