< Micah 6 >

1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izay lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna, mandahara eo anoloan’ ny tendrombohitra, Ary aoka ho ren’ ny havoana ny feonao.
2 Hear, O ye mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye enduring rocks, the foundations of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with His people, and He will plead with Israel.
Mihainoa ny adin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry tendrombohitra, Sy ianareo, ry fanorena-matezan’ ny tany; Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny olony, Eny, amin’ ny Isiraely no ifandaharany.
3 O My people, what have I done unto thee? And wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against Me.
Ry oloko, inona no nataoko taminao? Inona no nanasarako anao? Tondroy maso ary Aho.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Fa nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ianao Sady navotako avy tao amin’ ny trano nahandevozana: Dia nirahiko hitarika anao Mosesy sy Arona ary Miriama.
5 O My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him; from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of the LORD.
Ry oloko, mba tsarovy ny saina nataon’ i Balaka, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, Sy izay navalin’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, azy, Ary izay natao hatrany Sitima ka hatrany Gilgala, Hahafantaranareo ny asa marina nataon’ i Jehovah.
6 'Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before Him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?
Inona no ho entiko manatona an’ i Jehovah Sy miondrika eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Izay any amin’ ny avo? Hanatona Azy mitondra fanatitra dorana Sy ny ombilahy kely iray taona va aho?
7 Will the LORD 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?'
Ho sitrak’ i Jehovah va ny ondrilahy arivoarivo, Na renirano diloilo iray alina? Hanolotra ny lahimatoako noho ny fahadisoako va aho, Na ny ateraky ny kiboko noho ny fahotan’ ny fanahiko?
8 It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, and what the LORD doth require of thee: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.
Ry olombelona, efa naseho anao izay tsara Sy izay ilain’ i Jehovah aminao, Dia izao ihany: Ny hanao ny marina sy ny ho tia famindram-po Ary ny hanaraka an’ Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fanetren-tena
9 Hark! the LORD crieth unto the city — and it is wisdom to have regard for Thy name — hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Manaitra ny tanàna ny feon’ i Jehovah, Ary mahita ny anaranao ny hendry; Henoinareo ny tsorakazo sy Izay nanendry azy.
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Mbola misy rakitry ny faharatsiana ihany va ao an-tranon’ ny ratsy fanahy Sy ny famarana tsy ampy izay voaozona?
11 'Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?'
Mety madio va aho, raha manana mizana mandainga Sy kitapo misy vato tsy marina?
12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Fa feno loza ny mpanankarenany, Mandainga ny mponina ao aminy, Ary ny lelany dia fitaka eo am-bavany.
13 Therefore I also do smite thee with a grievous wound; I do make thee desolate because of thy sins.
Izaho kosa dia hikapoka maharary anao Amin’ ny fandringanako anao noho ny helokao.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy sickness shall be in thine inward parts; and thou shalt conceive, but shalt not bring forth; and whomsoever thou bringest forth will I give up to the sword.
Hianao hihinana, nefa tsy ho voky, Fa mbola ho ao anatinao ihany ny fahanoananao; Hampirina ianao, nefa tsy hahavonjy, Ary izay voavonjinao aza dia hatolotro ho amin’ ny sabatra.
15 Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil; and the vintage, but shalt not drink wine.
Hiantso hamafy, nefa tsy hijinja; Hianao hanosihosy oliva, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo, Ary hanosihosy ranom-boaloboka, nefa tsy hisotro divay;
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I may make thee an astonishment, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of My people.
Fa fatra-pitandrina ny lalàn’ i Omry Sy ny asan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba rehetra ianareo Sady manaraka ny fisainany, Mba hanolorako anao ho figagana, Ary ny mponina any ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, Ka dia hitondra ny latsan’ ny oloko ianareo.
