Mika 6
1 Masìna ianareo, mihainoa izay lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna, mandahara eo anoloan’ ny tendrombohitra, Ary aoka ho ren’ ny havoana ny feonao.
Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Mihainoa ny adin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry tendrombohitra, Sy ianareo, ry fanorena-matezan’ ny tany; Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny olony, Eny, amin’ ny Isiraely no ifandaharany.
Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
3 Ry oloko, inona no nataoko taminao? Inona no nanasarako anao? Tondroy maso ary Aho.
‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
4 Fa nentiko niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ianao Sady navotako avy tao amin’ ny trano nahandevozana: Dia nirahiko hitarika anao Mosesy sy Arona ary Miriama.
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
5 Ry oloko, mba tsarovy ny saina nataon’ i Balaka, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, Sy izay navalin’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, azy, Ary izay natao hatrany Sitima ka hatrany Gilgala, Hahafantaranareo ny asa marina nataon’ i Jehovah.
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
6 Inona no ho entiko manatona an’ i Jehovah Sy miondrika eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra Izay any amin’ ny avo? Hanatona Azy mitondra fanatitra dorana Sy ny ombilahy kely iray taona va aho?
With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
7 Ho sitrak’ i Jehovah va ny ondrilahy arivoarivo, Na renirano diloilo iray alina? Hanolotra ny lahimatoako noho ny fahadisoako va aho, Na ny ateraky ny kiboko noho ny fahotan’ ny fanahiko?
Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Ry olombelona, efa naseho anao izay tsara Sy izay ilain’ i Jehovah aminao, Dia izao ihany: Ny hanao ny marina sy ny ho tia famindram-po Ary ny hanaraka an’ Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fanetren-tena
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 Manaitra ny tanàna ny feon’ i Jehovah, Ary mahita ny anaranao ny hendry; Henoinareo ny tsorakazo sy Izay nanendry azy.
The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
10 Mbola misy rakitry ny faharatsiana ihany va ao an-tranon’ ny ratsy fanahy Sy ny famarana tsy ampy izay voaozona?
Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
11 Mety madio va aho, raha manana mizana mandainga Sy kitapo misy vato tsy marina?
Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
12 Fa feno loza ny mpanankarenany, Mandainga ny mponina ao aminy, Ary ny lelany dia fitaka eo am-bavany.
For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
13 Izaho kosa dia hikapoka maharary anao Amin’ ny fandringanako anao noho ny helokao.
Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
14 Hianao hihinana, nefa tsy ho voky, Fa mbola ho ao anatinao ihany ny fahanoananao; Hampirina ianao, nefa tsy hahavonjy, Ary izay voavonjinao aza dia hatolotro ho amin’ ny sabatra.
You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
15 Hiantso hamafy, nefa tsy hijinja; Hianao hanosihosy oliva, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo, Ary hanosihosy ranom-boaloboka, nefa tsy hisotro divay;
You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
16 Fa fatra-pitandrina ny lalàn’ i Omry Sy ny asan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba rehetra ianareo Sady manaraka ny fisainany, Mba hanolorako anao ho figagana, Ary ny mponina any ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, Ka dia hitondra ny latsan’ ny oloko ianareo.
You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
