Mika 6
1 Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izay lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna, mandahara eo anoloan’ ny tendrombohitra, Ary aoka ho ren’ ny havoana ny feonao.
Listen now to what Yahweh says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
2 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.
Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 Ry oloko, inona no nataoko taminao? Inona no nanasarako anao? Tondroy maso ary Aho.
My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
4 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.
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 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.
My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
6 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?
How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 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?
Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 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
He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 Manaitra ny tanàna ny feon’ i Jehovah, Ary mahita ny anaranao ny hendry; Henoinareo ny tsorakazo sy Izay nanendry azy.
Yahweh’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
10 Mbola misy rakitry ny faharatsiana ihany va ao an-tranon’ ny ratsy fanahy Sy ny famarana tsy ampy izay voaozona?
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
11 Mety madio va aho, raha manana mizana mandainga Sy kitapo misy vato tsy marina?
Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Fa feno loza ny mpanankarenany, Mandainga ny mponina ao aminy, Ary ny lelany dia fitaka eo am-bavany.
Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13 Izaho kosa dia hikapoka maharary anao Amin’ ny fandringanako anao noho ny helokao.
Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
14 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.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
15 Hiantso hamafy, nefa tsy hijinja; Hianao hanosihosy oliva, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo, Ary hanosihosy ranom-boaloboka, nefa tsy hisotro divay;
You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
16 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.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
