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.
Les ruego que escuchen lo que dice Yavé: ¡Levántate, llama a juicio a las montañas, y que las colinas oigan tu voz!
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.
Oh montañas y fuertes cimientos de la tierra, escuchen el pleito de Yavé, porque Yavé tiene pleito con su pueblo. Contenderá con 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!
¿Qué te hice, pueblo mío? ¿O en qué te agobié? ¡Testifica contra Mí!
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.
Yo te saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Te liberté de la casa de esclavitud. Envié a Moisés, a Aarón y a María delante de ti.
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.”
Recuerda, pueblo mío, lo que tramaba Balac, rey de Moab, y qué le respondió Balaam, hijo de Beor, desde Sitim hasta Gilgal. Recuerda para que reconozcas los hechos justicieros de Yavé.
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]?
¿Con qué me presentaré a Yavé y me postraré ante el ʼElohim Altísimo? ¿Me presentaré con holocaustos, con becerros añales?
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]?”
¿Yavé se deleita en millares de carneros o en miríadas de arroyos de aceite? ¿Daré mi primogénito por mis actos rebeldes, el fruto de mi organismo 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.
Oh hombre, Él te dijo lo que es bueno, lo que Yavé pide de ti: Solo hacer justicia, amar la misericordia y andar humildemente con tu [ʼElohim].
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.
Escucha, oh tribu: La voz de Yavé proclama a la ciudad. Él salvará a los que temen su Nombre.
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.
¿Aún hay tesoros de perversidad en casa del perverso, y medida escasa que es una repugnancia?
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?
¿Puedo justificar balanza inicua y una bolsa de pesas fraudulentas
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.
con las cuales sus ricos se llenaron de explotación? Sus habitantes hablan mentiras, y la lengua en su boca es engañosa.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Pues Yo también te enfermaré, te derribaré, te desolaré por 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 y no te saciarás, y el abatimiento estará en medio de ti. Recogerás, pero no lo conservarás, y lo que conserves, Yo 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. Prensarás olivas, pero no te ungirás con el aceite, y uvas, pero no beberás 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 guardaron los mandamientos de Omri y toda práctica de la casa de Acab. Anduvieron en sus consejos para que Yo pusiera a tus habitantes como burla. Por tanto, ustedes soportarán la afrenta de mi pueblo.
