Mika 6

1 Janjiño henaneo ty nafè’ Iehovà: Miongaha, aboaho amo vohitseo o enta’oo, ampitsanoño o haboañeo ty fiarañanaña’o.

Listen now to what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.

2 Mitsendreña ry vohitseo, ty sisì’ Iehovà, ry manantañe maoza’ ty tane toio, fa manan-kabò am’ondati’eo t’Iehovà, ie toe hifanjomotse am’Israele.

Hear, you mountains, the LORD's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.

3 O ry ondatikoo, ino ty nanoako azo? Akore ty nahamokorako azo? Atalilio.

My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me.

4 Izaho nañakatse azo an-tane Mitsraime añe, nijebañ’azo an-trañom-pañondevozañe, le nampiaoloeko azo t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho i Miriame.

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 O ry ondatikoo, tiahio henaneo i nikinià’ i Balake mpanjaka’ i Moabey, naho ty natoi’ i Balame ana’ i Beore aze boake Sitime pake Gilgale, hahafohina’ areo o sata-vanta’ Iehovào.

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 the LORD."

6 Akore ty hiatrefako Iehovà? ty hiambaneako aman’ Añahare Andindimoneñey? Hiatrefako an-tsoron-koroañe hao, an-temboay hao?

How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?

7 Ho no’ Iehovà hao t’ie kobatròk’ arivo? ndra torahañe rai-ale ­mikararàke menake? hatoloko hao ty tañoloñoloñako ty amy fiolàkoy? ty vokan-troko ty amo hakeom-piaikoo?

Will the LORD 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 Fa natoro azo, ry koahe, ty hasoa, naho ty ipaia’ Iehovà: te hanoe’o ty hiti’e, t’ie ho tea fiferenaiñañe, vaho hirè-batañe hindreza’o fañavelo aman’ Añahare’o.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9 Mikoik’ amy rovay ­­ ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, hañaoñe ty tahina’o ty mahihitse. Janjiño i Kobaiñey, naho i nanendre azey.

The LORD's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.

10 Mbe amam-baran-katsivokarañe hao ty añ’akiba’ i lo-tserekey? naho i kapoa-tomotse tìvay.

Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?

11 Ho volilien-ko hiringiri’e hao raho t’ie amam-balantsy vìlañe, naho amam-batom-pamañahiañe an-koroñe ao?

Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?

12 Ie pea katramo o mpañalealeo, naho mivolam-bande o mpimone’eo, vaho mamañahy am-bava’e ao ty lela’ iareo.

Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.

13 Aa le ho silòfeko irehe, ho zevoñeko ambane, hampibangìñ’ azo ty amo tahi’o maroo.

Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

14 Hikama irehe fa tsy ho anjañe; hasalikoañe mampikoritoke ty an-tro’o ao; hanao an-driha irehe fa tsy hahafihaja, vaho hatoloko ami’ty fibara ze nakafi’o.

You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.

15 Hitongy irehe fe tsy hanatake; handia olive fe tsy hihosotse amy menakey; naho hampipiritse valoboke, fe tsy hinome’o ty divai’e.

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 Nitambozora’ areo o fañè’ i Omrio; naho nitàñ’ o sata’ i Akabeo, naho nañavelo amo fisafiri’ iareoo; aa le hampangoakoaheko irehe, hampikosihañe o mpimoneñeo, le ho vavè’ areo ty inje’ ondatikoo.

For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and you walk in their counsels. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and her inhabitants an object of contempt; and you will bear the scorn of the nations."
