< Micah 6 >

1 Hear, I pray you, what, Yahweh, is saying, —arise thou, maintain thy controversy before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice: —
Janjiño henaneo ty nafè’ Iehovà: Miongaha, aboaho amo vohitseo o enta’oo, ampitsanoño o haboañeo ty fiarañanaña’o.
2 Hear, ye mountains, the controversy of Yahweh, and ye lasting rocks, the foundations of the earth, —for, a controversy, hath Yahweh, with his people, and, with Israel, will he dispute.
Mitsendreña ry vohitseo, ty sisì’ Iehovà, ry manantañe maoza’ ty tane toio, fa manan-kabò am’ondati’eo t’Iehovà, ie toe hifanjomotse am’Israele.
3 O my people! what have I done to thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? Testify thou against me!
O ry ondatikoo, ino ty nanoako azo? Akore ty nahamokorako azo? Atalilio.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and, out of the house of slaves, I ransomed thee, —and I sent before thee, Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
Izaho nañakatse azo an-tane Mitsraime añe, nijebañ’azo an-trañom-pañondevozañe, le nampiaoloeko azo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho i Miriame.
5 O my people! remember, I pray you, what Balak king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam son of Beor, answered him, —from the Acacias as far as Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Yahweh.
O ry ondatikoo, tiahio henaneo i nikinià’ i Balake mpanjaka’ i Moabey, naho ty natoi’ i Balame ana’ i Beore aze boake Sitime pake Gilgale, hahafohina’ areo o sata-vanta’ Iehovào.
6 Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending-sacrifice? with calves of a year old?
Akore ty hiatrefako Iehovà? ty hiambaneako aman’ Añahare Andindimoneñey? Hiatrefako an-tsoron-koroañe hao, an-temboay hao?
7 Will Yahweh, be pleased, with thousands of rams? with myriads of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression? the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Ho no’ Iehovà hao t’ie kobatròk’ arivo? ndra torahañe rai-ale ­mikararàke menake? hatoloko hao ty tañoloñoloñako ty amy fiolàkoy? ty vokan-troko ty amo hakeom-piaikoo?
8 He hath told thee, O son of earth, what is good, —what then is, Yahweh, seeking of thee, but, to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with thy God?
Fa natoro azo, ry koahe, ty hasoa, naho ty ipaia’ Iehovà: te hanoe’o ty hiti’e, t’ie ho tea fiferenaiñañe, vaho hirè-batañe hindreza’o fañavelo aman’ Añahare’o.
9 The voice of Yahweh, to the city, crieth out, With safety for him who regardeth his name, —Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Mikoik’ amy rovay ­­ ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, hañaoñe ty tahina’o ty mahihitse. Janjiño i Kobaiñey, naho i nanendre azey.
10 Even yet, are there, in the house of the lawless one, the treasures of lawlessness, —and the scant measure—accurst?
Mbe amam-baran-katsivokarañe hao ty añ’akiba’ i lo-tserekey? naho i kapoa-tomotse tìvay.
11 Shall I be pure with lawless balances? or with bag of deceitful weights?
Ho volilien-ko hiringiri’e hao raho t’ie amam-balantsy vìlañe, naho amam-batom-pamañahiañe an-koroñe ao?
12 For, her rich men, are full of violence, and, her inhabitants, have spoken falsehood, —and, their tongue, is deceitful in their mouth.
Ie pea katramo o mpañalealeo, naho mivolam-bande o mpimone’eo, vaho mamañahy am-bava’e ao ty lela’ iareo.
13 Moreover also, I, have made thee sick with smiting thee, —laying thee waste because of thy sins.
Aa le ho silòfeko irehe, ho zevoñeko ambane, hampibangìñ’ azo ty amo tahi’o maroo.
14 Thou, shalt eat—and not be satisfied, but be shrunk with hunger within thee, —Though thou remove, yet shalt thou not set in safety, and, what thou dost set in safety, to the sword, will I deliver.
Hikama irehe fa tsy ho anjañe; hasalikoañe mampikoritoke ty an-tro’o ao; hanao an-driha irehe fa tsy hahafihaja, vaho hatoloko ami’ty fibara ze nakafi’o.
15 Thou, shalt sow, but shalt not reap, —thou, shalt tread the olive, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, also the grape, but shalt not drink the wine.
Hitongy irehe fe tsy hanatake; handia olive fe tsy hihosotse amy menakey; naho hampipiritse valoboke, fe tsy hinome’o ty divai’e.
16 For strictly observed are the statutes of Omri, and every doing of the house of Ahab, and ye have walked in their counsels, —to the end I may give thee up to desolation, and her inhabitants to hissing, that, the reproach of peoples, ye may bear.
Nitambozora’ areo o fañè’ i Omrio; naho nitàñ’ o sata’ i Akabeo, naho nañavelo amo fisafiri’ iareoo; aa le hampangoakoaheko irehe, hampikosihañe o mpimoneñeo, le ho vavè’ areo ty inje’ ondatikoo.
