< Micah 6 >

1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izay lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna, mandahara eo anoloan’ ny tendrombohitra, Ary aoka ho ren’ ny havoana ny feonao.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
Mihainoa ny adin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry tendrombohitra, Sy ianareo, ry fanorena-matezan’ ny tany; Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny olony, Eny, amin’ ny Isiraely no ifandaharany.
3 O my people, what have I done to thee? and how have I wearied thee? testify against me.
Ry oloko, inona no nataoko taminao? Inona no nanasarako anao? Tondroy maso ary Aho.
4 For I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee from the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Fa nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ianao Sady navotako avy tao amin’ ny trano nahandevozana: Dia nirahiko hitarika anao Mosesy sy Arona ary Miriama.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
Ry oloko, mba tsarovy ny saina nataon’ i Balaka, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, Sy izay navalin’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, azy, Ary izay natao hatrany Sitima ka hatrany Gilgala, Hahafantaranareo ny asa marina nataon’ i Jehovah.
6 How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
Inona no ho entiko manatona an’ i Jehovah Sy miondrika eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Izay any amin’ ny avo? Hanatona Azy mitondra fanatitra dorana Sy ny ombilahy kely iray taona va aho?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Ho sitrak’ i Jehovah va ny ondrilahy arivoarivo, Na renirano diloilo iray alina? Hanolotra ny lahimatoako noho ny fahadisoako va aho, Na ny ateraky ny kiboko noho ny fahotan’ ny fanahiko?
8 He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what the LORD doth require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Ry olombelona, efa naseho anao izay tsara Sy izay ilain’ i Jehovah aminao, Dia izao ihany: Ny hanao ny marina sy ny ho tia famindram-po Ary ny hanaraka an’ Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fanetren-tena
9 The LORD’S voice crieth to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Manaitra ny tanàna ny feon’ i Jehovah, Ary mahita ny anaranao ny hendry; Henoinareo ny tsorakazo sy Izay nanendry azy.
10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Mbola misy rakitry ny faharatsiana ihany va ao an-tranon’ ny ratsy fanahy Sy ny famarana tsy ampy izay voaozona?
11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Mety madio va aho, raha manana mizana mandainga Sy kitapo misy vato tsy marina?
12 For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Fa feno loza ny mpanankarenany, Mandainga ny mponina ao aminy, Ary ny lelany dia fitaka eo am-bavany.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
Izaho kosa dia hikapoka maharary anao Amin’ ny fandringanako anao noho ny helokao.
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
Hianao hihinana, nefa tsy ho voky, Fa mbola ho ao anatinao ihany ny fahanoananao; Hampirina ianao, nefa tsy hahavonjy, Ary izay voavonjinao aza dia hatolotro ho amin’ ny sabatra.
15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
Hiantso hamafy, nefa tsy hijinja; Hianao hanosihosy oliva, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo, Ary hanosihosy ranom-boaloboka, nefa tsy hisotro divay;
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and thy inhabitants an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
Fa fatra-pitandrina ny lalàn’ i Omry Sy ny asan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba rehetra ianareo Sady manaraka ny fisainany, Mba hanolorako anao ho figagana, Ary ny mponina any ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, Ka dia hitondra ny latsan’ ny oloko ianareo.
