Mika 6
1 Teererai zvinotaurwa naJehovha: “Simukai, taurai nyaya yenyu pamberi pamakomo; zvikomo ngazvinzwe zvamunoda kutaura.
Hear ye now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Chinzwai imi makomo, kupomera kwaJehovha; teererai, imi hwaro hwenyika hunogara nokusingaperi. Nokuti Jehovha ane mhosva yaari kupa vanhu vake; anopa Israeri mhosva.
Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3 “Vanhu vangu, chiiko chandakakuitirai? Ndakakuremedzai neiko? Ndipindurei.
O my people, what have I done to thee? And in what have I wearied thee? Testify against me.
4 Ndakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti uye akakudzikinurai kubva munyika youranda. Ndakatuma Mozisi kuti azokutungamirirai, naAroniwo naMiriamu.
For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage. And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Vanhu vangu, rangarirai zvakaranganwa naBharaki mambo weMoabhu nezvakapindurwa naBharamu mwanakomana waBheori. Rangarirai rwendo rwenyu kubva kuShitimu kusvika kuGirigari, kuti mugoziva mabasa akarurama aJehovha.”
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him. Remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
6 Ndichauya neiko pamberi paJehovha. Uye ndigokotama sei pamberi paMwari anokudzwa? Ndingauye pamberi pake nezvibayiro zvinopiswa nemhuru dzine gore rimwe here?
With what shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Ko, Jehovha angafadzwa nezviuru zvamakondobwe, uye nezviuru gumi zvenzizi dzamafuta here? Ndingapa dangwe rangu nokuda kwokudarika kwangu, icho chibereko chomuviri wangu pamusoro pokutadza kwomweya wangu here?
Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Akakuratidza, iwe munhu, kuti zvakanaka ndezvipi. Uye ndezvipi zvinodiwa naJehovha kubva kwauri? Kuita zvakarurama uye kufarira kunzwira ngoni, nokufamba naMwari wako wakazvininipisa.
He has shown thee, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?
9 Teererai! Jehovha anodanidzira kuguta, uye kutya zita renyu ndihwo uchenjeri: “Chenjererai shamhu naIye akaituma.
The voice of Jehovah cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Ndichazokanganwa here, iwe imba yakaipa, upfumi hwako hwakawanikwa nenzira dzakaipa, nechiero cheefa chakatapudzwa, chakatukwa?
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
11 Ndingaregerera munhu ane chiero chinonyengera nesaga rezviero zvenhema here?
Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Vapfumi vake vanoita nechisimba; vanhu vake varevi venhema, uye miromo yavo inotaura nokunyengera.
For the rich men of it are full of violence, and the inhabitants of it have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Naizvozvo, ndatotanga kukuparadzai, kukuitai dongo nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu.
Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound, I have made thee desolate because of thy sins.
14 Muchadya asi hamungaguti: dumbu renyu richaramba risina chinhu. Muchaisa mudura asi mugoshaya zvamachengeta, nokuti zvamunounganidza ndichazviparadza nomunondo.
Thou shall eat, but not be satisfied, and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee. And thou shall put away, but shall not save, and that which thou save I will give up to the sword.
15 Muchadyara asi hamungakohwi; muchasvina maorivhi asi hamungazori mafuta acho, muchasvina mazambiringa asi hamunganwi waini yacho.
Thou shall sow, but shall not reap, thou shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint thee with oil, and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.
16 Makachengeta zvirevo zvaOmuri uye namabasa ose eimba yaAhabhu, uye makatevera tsika dzavo. Naizvozvo ndichakuisai mukuparadzwa, nevanhu venyu mukusekwa; muchatakura kushorwa kwendudzi.”
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels, that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing. And ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
