Mika 6
1 Janjiño henaneo ty nafè’ Iehovà: Miongaha, aboaho amo vohitseo o enta’oo, ampitsanoño o haboañeo ty fiarañanaña’o.
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.
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.
[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.
3 O ry ondatikoo, ino ty nanoako azo? Akore ty nahamokorako azo? Atalilio.
My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? 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.
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.
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, 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.”
6 Akore ty hiatrefako Iehovà? ty hiambaneako aman’ Añahare Andindimoneñey? Hiatrefako an-tsoron-koroañe hao, an-temboay hao?
[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]?
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 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]?”
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.
[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.
9 Mikoik’ amy rovay ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, hañaoñe ty tahina’o ty mahihitse. Janjiño i Kobaiñey, naho i nanendre azey.
“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.
10 Mbe amam-baran-katsivokarañe hao ty añ’akiba’ i lo-tserekey? naho i kapoa-tomotse tìvay.
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.
11 Ho volilien-ko hiringiri’e hao raho t’ie amam-balantsy vìlañe, naho amam-batom-pamañahiañe an-koroñe ao?
[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?
12 Ie pea katramo o mpañalealeo, naho mivolam-bande o mpimone’eo, vaho mamañahy am-bava’e ao ty lela’ iareo.
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.
13 Aa le ho silòfeko irehe, ho zevoñeko ambane, hampibangìñ’ azo ty amo tahi’o maroo.
Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
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.
[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].
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 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.
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.
[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.’”
