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.
Escuchen ahora las palabras del Señor: ¡Levántate! presenta tu causa ante las montañas, deja que tu voz suene entre las montañas.
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.
Escucha, oh montes, la causa del Señor, y toma nota de tus bases de la tierra; porque el Señor tiene una contienda contra su pueblo, y entablará juicio 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!
Oh pueblo mío, ¿qué te he hecho? ¿Cómo he sido un cansancio para ti? da respuesta en mi contra.
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 te saqué de la tierra de Egipto y te liberé de la prisión; y envíe 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.”
Oh pueblo mío, ten en cuenta ahora lo que fue planeado por Balac, rey de Moab, y la respuesta que Balaam, hijo de Beor, le dio; los eventos, desde Sitim hasta Gilgal, para que sepan de los actos rectos del Señor.
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 voy a venir delante del Señor e ir con la cabeza inclinada ante el Dios supremo? ¿voy a venir ante él con ofrendas quemadas, con becerros 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 agradará el Señor con miles de ovejas o con diez mil ríos de aceite? ¿Debo dar a mi primer hijo por mi rebelión, 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 dejado claro, oh hombre, lo que es bueno; y lo que el Señor desea de ti; solo haciendo lo correcto, y amando la misericordia, y caminando humildemente ante 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 del Señor está clamando al pueblo; él hombre sabio teme tu nombre, escuchen, tribus y a quien ha establecido.
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 aún tesoros mal habidos en la casa del impío? Y medida escasa que es detestable.
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?
¿Me es posible dejar ir las escalas equivocadas y la bolsa de pesas falsas sin castigo?
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.
Porque sus hombres ricos son crueles, y su gente son mentirosos y engañadores.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Y la tierra con sus moradores será asolada, por él fruto de sus obras.
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].
Tendrás comida, pero no te saciaras; tu abatimiento estará en medio de ti: recogerás pero no conservarás, y lo que conservares, yo lo daré 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.
Pondrás semillas, pero no cosecharás; estarás triturando aceitunas, pero tus cuerpos no serán frotados con el aceite; y pisaras las uvas, pero no tendrás 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 has guardado las leyes de Omri y todas las obras de la familia de Acab, y has sido guiado por sus designios; para que yo pueda hacer de ti y tu pueblo una causa de espanto y burla; y la vergüenza de mi pueblo recaerá sobre ti.
