Micah 6
1 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.
Oíd ahora lo que dice Jehová: Levántate, pleitéa con los montes, y oigan los collados tu voz.
2 [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.
Oíd montes el pleito de Jehová, y fuertes fundamentos de la tierra; porque Jehová tiene pleito con su pueblo, y con Israel altercará.
3 My people, what have I done to [cause trouble for] you [RHQ]? What have I done to cause you to experience difficulties? Answer me!
Pueblo mío, ¿qué te he hecho, o en qué te he molestado? Responde contra mí.
4 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.
Porque te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto, y de la casa de siervos te redimí; y envié delante de ti a Moisés, y a Aarón, y a María.
5 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.”
Pueblo mío, acuérdate ahora qué aconsejó Balac, rey de Moab, y qué le respondió Balaam, hijo de Beor, desde Setim hasta Gálgala; para que conozcas las justicias de Jehová.
6 [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]?
¿Con qué prevendré a Jehová, y adoraré al Dios Alto? ¿Prevenirle he con holocaustos, con becerros de un año?
7 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]?”
¿Agradarse ha Jehová de millares de carneros? ¿De diez mil arroyos de aceite? ¿Daré mi primogénito por mi rebelión? ¿el fruto de mi vientre por el pecado de mi alma?
8 [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.
O! hombre, declarado te ha qué sea lo bueno, y qué pida de ti Jehová: Solamente hacer juicio, y amar misericordia, y humillarte para andar con tu Dios.
9 “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.
La voz de Jehová clama a la ciudad, y la sabiduría verá tu nombre. Oíd la vara, y a quien la establece.
10 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.
¿Hay aun en casa del impío tesoros de impiedad, y medida pequeña detestable?
11 [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?
¿Seré limpio con peso falso, y con bolsa de pesas engañosas?
12 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.
Con que sus ricos se hinchieron de rapiña, y sus moradores hablaron mentira, y su lengua engañosa en su boca.
13 Therefore, I have [already] begun to get rid of you, to ruin you because of the sins that you have committed.
Así yo también te enflaquecí hiriéndote, asolándote por tus pecados.
14 [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].
Tú comerás, y no te hartarás, y tu abatimiento será en medio de ti; y engendrarás, y no parirás; y lo que parirás a la espada daré.
15 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.
Tú sembrarás, mas no segarás: pisarás olivas, mas no te untarás con el aceite; y mosto, mas no beberás el vino.
16 [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.’”
Porque los mandamientos de Amrí se guardaron, y toda obra de la casa de Acab; y en los consejos de ellos anduvisteis, para que yo te diese en asolamiento, y tus moradores para ser silbados: y llevaréis el oprobio de mi pueblo.
