< Mika 6 >

1 Janjiño henaneo ty nafè’ Iehovà: Miongaha, aboaho amo vohitseo o enta’oo, ampitsanoño o haboañeo ty fiarañanaña’o.
Hear ye what Jehovah saith! Arise, contend thou before the mountains, And let the hills hear thy voice!
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, O ye mountains, the controversy of Jehovah! Hear, ye strong foundations of the earth! For Jehovah hath a controversy with his people; He contendeth with Israel.
3 O ry ondatikoo, ino ty nanoako azo? Akore ty nahamokorako azo? Atalilio.
“O my people, what have I done to thee, And wherein have I offended thee? Testify against 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.
I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of bondage I redeemed thee; I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, to go before thee.
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.
O my people, remember what Balak the king of Moab devised. And what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him, What happened from Shittim to Gilgal, That ye may know the mercies of Jehovah.”
6 Akore ty hiatrefako Iehovà? ty hiambaneako aman’ Añahare Andindimoneñey? Hiatrefako an-tsoron-koroañe hao, an-temboay hao?
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, And bow myself before the most high God? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, With calves of 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 Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for the sin of my soul, The fruit of my body for my transgression?
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 hath showed thee, O man, what is good; What doth Jehovah require of thee, But to do justly, and to love mercy, And to walk humbly before thy God?
9 Mikoik’ amy rovay ­­ ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, hañaoñe ty tahina’o ty mahihitse. Janjiño i Kobaiñey, naho i nanendre azey.
The voice of Jehovah crieth to the city, And the man of wisdom will discern thee; Hear ye the rod, and who hath threatened it!
10 Mbe amam-baran-katsivokarañe hao ty añ’akiba’ i lo-tserekey? naho i kapoa-tomotse tìvay.
Are there not yet in the houses of the unrighteous the treasures of iniquity, And the scanty measure, which is abominable?
11 Ho volilien-ko hiringiri’e hao raho t’ie amam-balantsy vìlañe, naho amam-batom-pamañahiañe an-koroñe ao?
Shall I count her pure with the wicked balances, And with the 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.
For her rich men are full of violence, And her inhabitants speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Aa le ho silòfeko irehe, ho zevoñeko ambane, hampibangìñ’ azo ty amo tahi’o maroo.
Therefore will I sorely smite thee, And make thee desolate on account of thy 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.
Thou shalt eat and not be satisfied, And hunger shall be within thee. Thou shalt remove, but shalt not save, And what thou savest will I 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.
Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap; Thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil, And the grapes, but shalt not 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 ye keep the statutes of Omri, And all the works of the house of Ahab, And walk in their devices; Therefore will I make thee a desolation, And thine inhabitants a derision; And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
