Mika 6
1 Sikiliza asemalo Bwana: “Simama, tetea shauri lako mbele ya milima; vilima na visikie lile unalotaka kusema.
Hear please [that] which Yahweh [is] saying arise conduct a case with the mountains so they may hear the hills voice your.
2 Sikilizeni, ee milima, mashtaka ya Bwana, sikilizeni, enyi misingi ya milele ya dunia. Kwa kuwa Bwana ana shauri dhidi ya watu wake; anatoa mashtaka dhidi ya Israeli.
Hear O mountains [the] case of Yahweh and O enduring [ones] [the] foundations of [the] earth for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with people his and with Israel he will argue.
3 “Watu wangu, nimewatendea nini? Nimewalemea kwa jinsi gani? Mnijibu.
O people my what? have I done to you and what? have I made weary you testify against me.
4 Nimewatoa kutoka Misri na kuwakomboa kutoka nchi ya utumwa. Nilimtuma Mose awaongoze, pia Aroni na Miriamu.
For I brought up you from [the] land of Egypt and from a house of slaves I ransomed you and I sent before you Moses Aaron and Miriam.
5 Watu wangu, kumbukeni jinsi Balaki mfalme wa Moabu alivyofanya shauri na kile Balaamu mwana wa Beori alichojibu. Kumbukeni safari yenu kutoka Shitimu mpaka Gilgali, ili mfahamu matendo ya haki ya Bwana.”
O people my remember please what? did he plan Balak [the] king of Moab and what? did he answer him Balaam [the] son of Beor from Shittim to Gilgal so as to know [the] righteousness of Yahweh.
6 Nimjie Bwana na kitu gani na kusujudu mbele za Mungu aliyetukuka? Je, nije mbele zake na sadaka za kuteketezwa, nije na ndama za mwaka mmoja?
With what? will I come to meet Yahweh will I bend myself down? to [the] God of height ¿ will I come to meet him with burnt offerings with calves sons of a year.
7 Je, Bwana atafurahishwa na kondoo dume elfu, au mito elfu kumi ya mafuta? Je, nimtoe mzaliwa wangu wa kwanza kwa ajili ya kosa langu, mtoto wangu mwenyewe kwa ajili ya dhambi ya nafsi yangu?
¿ Will he take pleasure Yahweh in thousands of rams in tens of thousands of torrents of oil ¿ will I give firstborn my transgression my [the] fruit of belly my [the] sin of self my.
8 Amekuonyesha yaliyo mema, ee mwanadamu. Bwana anataka nini kwako? Ila kutenda kwa haki na kupenda rehema, na kwenda kwa unyenyekevu na Mungu wako.
He has told to you O humankind what? [is] good and what? [is] Yahweh requiring from you that except to do justice and to love covenant loyalty and to be modest to walk with God your.
9 Sikiliza! Bwana anauita mji: kulicha jina lako ni hekima: “Tii hiyo fimbo na yeye aliyeiamuru.
[the] voice of Yahweh to the city it calls out and success it will see name your hear O tribe and whoever he appointed it.
10 Je, bado nisahau, ee nyumba ya uovu, hazina yako uliyopata kwa udanganyifu na vipimo vilivyopunguka, ambavyo vimelaaniwa?
Still ¿ [are] there house of [the] wicked treasures of wickedness and an ephah of scantness accursed.
11 Je, naweza kuhukumu kuwa mtu mwenye mizani ya udanganyifu hana hatia, aliye na mfuko wa mawe ya kupimia ya uongo?
¿ Will I be clear with balances of wickedness and with a bag of weights of deceit.
12 Matajiri wake ni wajeuri; watu wake ni waongo na ndimi zao zinazungumza kwa udanganyifu.
Which rich [people] its they are full violence and inhabitants its they speak falsehood and tongue their [is] deceit in mouth their.
13 Kwa hiyo, nimeanza kukuharibu, kuwaangamiza kwa sababu ya dhambi zenu.
And also I I will make sick [by] striking you I will make desolate [you] on sins your.
14 Mtakula lakini hamtashiba; matumbo yenu bado yatakuwa matupu. Mtaweka akiba lakini hamtaokoa chochote, kwa sababu mtakachoweka akiba nitatoa kwa upanga.
You you will eat and not you will be satisfied and emptiness your [will be] in midst your and you will carry away and not you will bring to safety and [that] which you will bring to safety to the sword I will give.
15 Mtapanda lakini hamtavuna; mtakamua zeituni lakini hamtatumia mafuta yake. Mtakamua zabibu lakini hamtakunywa hiyo divai.
You you will sow and not you will reap you you will tread olive[s] and not you will anoint yourself oil and new wine and not you will drink wine.
16 Mmezishika sheria za Omri na matendo yote ya nyumba ya Ahabu, tena umefuata desturi zao. Kwa hiyo nitakutoa kwa maangamizi na watu wako kuwa dhihaka; mtachukua dharau za mataifa.”
So may be kept [the] statutes of Omri and every deed of [the] house of Ahab and you have walked in schemes their so as to make I you into a horror and inhabitants its into hissing and [the] reproach of people my you will bear.
