Micah 6
1 Pay attention to what Yahweh says [to you Israeli people]: “Stand up [in court] and state what you are accusing [me] about. And allow the hills and mountains to hear what you will say.
Escucha ahora lo que dice Yahvé: “Levántate, alega tu caso ante las montañas, y deja que las colinas escuchen lo que tienes que decir.
2 [But then] you mountains must [also] listen [carefully] [DOU] to what I, Yahweh, am complaining [about my people]. I have something to say about what [DOU] my Israeli people are doing that displeases me.
Oíd, montañas, la acusación de Yahvé, y vosotros, cimientos perdurables de la tierra; porque Yahvé tiene un caso contra su pueblo, y se enfrentará a Israel.
3 My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
Pueblo mío, ¿qué te he hecho? ¿Cómo te he agobiado? ¡Respóndeme!
4 I [did great things for your ancestors]; I brought them out of Egypt; I rescued them from that land where they were slaves. I sent Moses to [lead] them, and [his older brother] Aaron and [his older sister] Miriam.
Porque yo te saqué de la tierra de Egipto, y te redimió de la casa de la esclavitud. Envié delante de ti a Moisés, Aarón y Miriam.
5 My people, think about when Balak, the king of Moab, requested Beor’s son Balaam [to curse your ancestors], and think about what Balaam replied. Think about [how your ancestors crossed the Jordan River miraculously while] they were traveling from Acacia to Gilgal. [Think about those things in order] that you may know that [I], Yahweh, do what is right.”
Pueblo mío, recuerda ahora lo que ideó Balac, rey de Moab, y lo que le respondió Balaam hijo de Beor desde Sitim hasta Gilgal, para que conozcas los actos justos de Yahvé”.
6 [The Israeli people ask, ] “What shall we bring to Yahweh [who lives in] heaven when we come to him and bow down before him? Should we bring calves that are a year-old that will be offerings that will be [killed and] completely burned [on the altar]?
¿Cómo voy a presentarme ante Yahvé? y me inclino ante el Dios exaltado? ¿Me presentaré ante él con holocaustos? con terneros de un año?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased [if we offer to him] 1,000 rams and 10,000 streams of [olive] oil? Should we offer our firstborn children [to be sacrifices] to pay for the sins that we have committed [DOU]?”
¿Se complacerá Yahvé con miles de carneros? ¿Con decenas de miles de ríos de petróleo? ¿Debo dar a mi primogénito por mi desobediencia? ¿El fruto de mi cuerpo por el pecado de mi alma?
8 [No, because] he has shown each of us what is good [to do]; he has shown [RHQ] us what he requires each of us [to do]: He wants us to do what is just/fair and to love and to be merciful [to others], and [he wants us] to live humbly [while we fellowship] with him, our God.
Él te ha mostrado, oh hombre, lo que es bueno. Qué pide Yahvé de ti, sino que actúes con justicia, amar la misericordia y caminar humildemente con tu Dios?
9 “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me. I am calling out to [you people of] Jerusalem, ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming, so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
La voz de Yahvé llama a la ciudad — y la sabiduría teme tu nombre — “Escucha la vara, y el que lo designó.
10 Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you wicked people filled your homes with valuable things that you acquired by cheating [others]? Do you think that [RHQ] I should forget that you used false measures [when you bought and sold things]? Those are things that I hate.
¿Hay todavía tesoros de maldad en la casa de los malvados, y un efa corto que es maldito?
11 [Do you think] that [RHQ] I should say nothing about people who use scales that do not weigh correctly, and who use weights that are not accurate?
¿Toleraré las balanzas deshonestas, y una bolsa de pesos engañosos?
12 The rich people among you always act violently [to get money from poor people]. All of the people [in Jerusalem] are liars, and they [SYN] always deceive people.
Sus hombres ricos están llenos de violencia, sus habitantes hablan mentiras, y su lengua es engañosa en su discurso.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Por lo tanto, yo también te he herido gravemente. Te he desolado a causa de tus pecados.
14 [Soon] you will eat food, but you will not have enough to satisfy you; your stomachs will [still feel as though they are] empty. You will try to save up [money], but you will not be able to save anything, because I will send your enemies to take it from you in wars [MTY].
Comerás, pero no te saciarás. Tu hambre estará dentro de ti. Se almacenará, pero no se guardará, y lo que tú salves lo entregaré a la espada.
15 You will plant [seeds], but you will not harvest [anything]. You will press olives, but [others], not you, will use the [olive] oil. You will trample on grapes [and make wine from the juice], but [others], not you, will drink the wine.
Sembrarás, pero no cosecharás. Pisarás las aceitunas, pero no te ungirás con aceite; y aplastar las uvas, pero no beber el vino.
16 [Those things will happen to you because] you obey [only] the wicked laws of [King] Omri, and [you do the terrible things that wicked King] Ahab and his descendants commanded. So, I will destroy your [country], and I will cause your people to be despised; people [of other nations] will insult you.’”
Porque los estatutos de Omri se mantienen, y todas las obras de la casa de Acab. Caminas en sus consejos, para que te haga una ruina, y sus habitantes un siseo. Llevarás el reproche de mi pueblo”.
