Micah 6
1 Now hear that which YHWH is saying: “Rise—strive with the mountains, And cause the hills to hear your voice.
Tamverani zimene Yehova akunena: “Nyamukani, fotokozani mlandu wanu pamaso pa mapiri; zitunda zimve zimene inu muti muyankhule.
2 Hear, O mountains, the strife of YHWH, You strong ones—foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to YHWH, with His people, And with Israel He reasons.
Imvani mlandu wa Yehova, inu mapiri; tamverani, maziko amuyaya a dziko lapansi. Pakuti Yehova ali ndi mlandu ndi anthu ake; Iye akutsutsa Aisraeli.
3 O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Testify against Me.
“Anthu anga, kodi ndakuchitirani chiyani? Kodi ndakutopetsani bwanji? Ndiyankheni.
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, And I have ransomed you from the house of servants, And I send Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
Ine ndinakutulutsani ku dziko la Igupto ndi kukuwombolani ku nyumba ya ukapolo. Ndinatuma Mose kuti akutsogolereni, pamodzi ndi Aaroni ndi Miriamu.
5 O My people, please remember What Balak king of Moab counseled, What Balaam son of Beor answered him (From Shittim to Gilgal), In order to know the righteous acts of YHWH.”
Anthu anga, kumbukirani zimene Balaki mfumu ya ku Mowabu inafuna kukuchitirani ndiponso zimene Balaamu mwana wa Beori anayankha. Kumbukirani zomwe zinachitika pa ulendo wochoka ku Sitimu kupita ku Giligala, kuti mudziwe machitidwe olungama a Yehova.”
6 With what do I come before YHWH? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves—sons of a year?
Kodi ndidzatenga chiyani kupita nacho pamaso pa Yehova ndi kukagwada pamaso pa Mulungu wakumwamba? Kodi ndidzabwera pamaso pake ndi nsembe yopsereza, ndi ana angʼombe a chaka chimodzi?
7 Is YHWH pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my firstborn [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Kodi Yehova adzakondwera ndi nkhosa zazimuna 1,000, kapena ndi mitsinje yosalekeza ya mafuta? Kodi ndipereke nsembe mwana wanga woyamba kubadwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zanga? Chipatso cha thupi langa chifukwa cha tchimo la moyo wanga?
8 He has declared to you, O man, what [is] good; Indeed, what is YHWH requiring of you, Except—to do judgment, and love kindness, And to walk lowly with your God?
Munthu iwe, Yehova wakuonetsa kale chimene chili chabwino. Tsono kodi Yehova akuyembekezera chiyani kwa iwe? Uzichita zolungama ndi kukonda chifundo ndiponso kuyenda modzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako.
9 A voice of YHWH calls to the city, And wisdom fears Your Name, “Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.
Tamverani! Yehova akuyitana anthu okhala mu mzinda ndi nzeru kuopa dzina lanu. “Mverani mfumu ndi Iye amene anayikhazikitsa.
10 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred meager ephah?
Inu anthu oyipa, kodi Ine nʼkuyiwala chuma chanu chimene munachipeza mwachinyengo, ndiponso muyeso wanu woperewera umene ndi wotembereredwa?
11 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?
Kodi ndimutenge ngati wosalakwa munthu amene ali ndi sikelo yachinyengo, ndiponso miyeso yabodza mʼthumba lake?
12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.
Anthu ake olemera amachita zachiwawa; anthu ake ndi abodza ndipo pakamwa pawo pamayankhula zachinyengo.
13 And I also, I have begun to strike you, To make desolate, because of your sins.
Choncho, ndayamba kukuwonongani, kukusakazani chifukwa cha machimo anu.
14 You eat, and you are not satisfied, And your pit [is] in your midst, And you remove, and do not deliver, And that which you deliver, I give to a sword.
Mudzadya, koma simudzakhuta; mudzakhalabe ndi njala. Mudzasunga zinthu, koma sizidzasungika, chifukwa zimene mudzasunga zidzawonongedwa ndi lupanga.
15 You sow, and you do not reap, You tread the olive, And you do not pour out oil, And new wine—and you do not drink wine.
Mudzadzala, koma simudzakolola. Mudzayenga mafuta a olivi, koma simudzawagwiritsa ntchito. Mudzaponda mphesa, koma simudzamwa vinyo wake.
16 And the statutes of Omri are kept habitually, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And you walk in their counsels, For My giving you for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And you bear the reproach of My people!”
Inu mwatsatira malangizo a Omuri ndiponso machitidwe onse a banja la Ahabu, ndi khalidwe lawo lonse. Choncho Ine ndidzakuperekani kuti muwonongedwe ndiponso anthu anu kuti azunguzike mitu; mudzanyozedwa ndi anthu a mitundu ina.”
