< Mika 6 >
1 Sasa sikilizeni kile ambacho Yahwe asemacho, “Inuka na ueleze kesi yako mbele ya milima; acha milima isikie sauti yako.
Here ye whiche thingis the Lord spekith. Rise thou, stryue thou bi doom ayens mounteyns, and litle hillis here thi vois.
2 Sikilizeni madai ya Yahwe, enyi milima, na ninyi misingi mivumilivu ya dunia. Kwa kuwa Yahwe anavumilia pamoja na watu wake, na atapigana katika mahakama juu ya Israeli.”
Mounteyns, and the stronge foundementis of erthe, here the doom of the Lord; for the doom of the Lord with his puple, and he schal be demyd with Israel.
3 Watu wangu, nimefanya nini kwenu? nimewachosha mara ngapi? shuhudieni dhidi yangu!
Mi puple, what haue Y don to thee, ether what was Y greuouse to thee? Answere thou to me.
4 Kwa kuwa niliwaleta kutoka nchi ya Msiri na kuwaokoa kutoka kwenye nyumba ya utumwa. Nawatuma Musa, Aruni, na Mariamu kwako.
For Y ledde thee out of the lond of Egipt, and of the hous of seruage Y delyuerede thee; and Y sente bifore thi face Moises, and Aaron, and Marye.
5 Watu wangu, kumbukeni ambavyo Balaki mfalme wa Moabu alivyotunga, na vile ambavyo Balamu mwana wa Beori alivyomjibu kama ulipokuwa ukienda kutoka kwa Gilgali, hivyo mnaweza kujua matendo ya haki ya Yahwe.”
My puple, bithenke, Y preie, what Balaac, kyng of Moab, thouyte, and what Balaam, sone of Beor, of Sethym, answeride to hym til to Galgala, that thou schuldist knowe the riytwisnesse of the Lord.
6 Je nilete nini kwa Yahwe, ninapoenda kumwinamia Mungu aliye juu? Je ninaweza kuja kwake na sadaka za kuteketeza, pamoja na ndama wenye mwaka mmoja?
What worthi thing schal Y offre to the Lord? schal Y bowe the knee to the hiye God? Whether Y schal offre to hym brent sacrifices, and calues of o yeer?
7 Je Yahwe atapendezwa na maelfu ya kondoo waume, au na elfu kumi za mito ya mafuta? Je nimtoe mzaliwa wangu wa kwanza kwa ajili ya kosa langu, tunda la mwili wangu kwa ajili ya dhambi yangu mwenyewe?
Whether God mai be paid in thousyndis of wetheris, ether in many thousyndis of fatte geet buckis? Whether Y schal yyue my firste bigetun for my greet trespas, the fruyt of my wombe for synne of my soule?
8 Amekwambia, mtu, kile kilicho bora, na kile ambacho Yahwe atakacho kutoka kwako: Kutenda haki, kupenda ukarimu, na kutembea kwa unyenyekevu pamoja na Mungu wako.
Y schal schewe to thee, thou man, what is good, and what the Lord axith of thee; forsothe for to do doom, and for to loue merci, and be bisi for to walke with thi God.
9 Sauti ya Yahwe inatangaza kwenye mji-hata sasa hekima hukukiri jina lako: “Kaa tayari kwa ajili ya fimbo, na kwa yule aliyeiweka.
The vois of the Lord crieth to the citee, and heelthe schal be to alle men dredynge thi name. Ye lynagis, here; and who schal approue it?
10 Kuna utajiri katika nyumba za waovu, na kipimo cha uongo hilo ni chukizo mno.
Yit fier is in the hous of the vnpitouse man, the tresouris of wickidnesse, and a lesse mesure ful of wraththe.
11 Ningeweza kumfikira mtu kuwa hana hatia kama anatumia kipimo cha ulaghai, pamoja na mfuko wa kipimo wa udanganyifu?
Whether Y schal iustifie the wickid balaunce, and the gileful weiytis of litil sak,
12 Matajiri wamejaa uharibifu, makazi yao yamesema uongo, na ulimi wao katika midomo yao unaudanganyifu.
in whiche riche men therof ben fillid with wickidnesse? And men dwellynge ther ynne spaken leesyng, and the tunge of hem was gileful in the mouth of hem.
13 Kwa hiyo nimekupiga kwa pigo linaloumiza, nimekufanya gofu kwa sababu ya dhambi zako.
And Y therfor bigan for to smyte thee, in perdicioun on thi synnes.
14 Utakula lakini hutatosheka; utupu wako utabakia ndani yako. Utatunza mizigo mbali lakini hutahifadhi, na kile unachokihifadhi nitakitoa kwa upanga.
Thou schalt ete, and schalt not be fillid, and thi mekyng is in the middil of thee; and thou schalt take, and schalt not saue; and which thou schalt saue, Y schal yyue in to swerd.
15 Utapanda lakini huatavuna; utazikusanya zaituni lakini hutajipaka mafuta; utasindika zabibu lakini hutakunywa divai.
Thou schalt sowe, and schal not repe; thou schalt trede the `frut of oliue, and schalt not be anoyntid with oile; and must, and schalt not drynke wyn.
16 Kanuni zilizotengenezwa na Omri zimetunzwa, na matendo yote ya nyumba ya Ahabu. Mnatembea kwa ushauri wao. Hivyo nitakufanya wewe, mji, gofu, na makazi yako jambo la zomeo, na matabeba dharau kama watu wangu.”
And thou keptist the heestis of Amry, and al the werk of the hous of Acab, and hast walkid in the lustis of hem, that Y schulde yyue thee in to perdicioun, and men dwellynge in it in to scornyng, and ye schulen bere the schenschipe of my puple.
