The sound coming out of my condenser microphone is very quiet and weak if someone can help me I will appreciate

No point buying another until you are happy with how your system works. Microphone faults are VERY rare, and usually are dead - as a description. Your phone is a good example - it really is like somebody complaining their phone makes them look really small and far away, when the problem was they were small and far away, and getting closer or discovering how to zoom was not tried? Buying another phone would not solve it.

Passive monitors require an amplifier. Active monitors have the amplifier built in to each monitor.
What is the make and model of your monitors?

These are my studio monitors it's not a big brand but they sound really good and that's enough for me

Okay thanks I will follow your advice and keep trying to get it work as I want it to.

By a trs cable that goes into the line output of the motu M4 interface I will do my best to take pics and show everything here

According to the specs, your monitor only connects by USB, Bluetooth or FM.
Not understanding how you used a TRS cable.

Thanks for replying okay I read everything you said but I think I have to explain what bothers me here the things is not that the track is low but only my voice it not only low but it weak it sounds unpowered when I record and you can't mix a voice that sound like that add because I tried to mix it like that and it sounds really bad because before even mixing my voice in the microphone already sound weak and low quality as I said I had a mixer before a bad one with the se X1 and the volume on it sounded loud before mixing then when I mixed I got it in a good level but with this mic it sounds really weak and the interfaces am using cannot sound like that you can listen to my friends song his voice sound loud then he can mix properly and when I try to put the gain way up it sound distorted noisy and muffled its like my mic is just underpowered or faulty I don't know

A very simple test.... have someone else speak into your mic while it's set up. If the recording sounds like the person you are recording, then the issue isn't anything to do with the equipment. Also don't ignore the proximity effect, which can make a voice sound stronger and beefier. Try 6 inches away, 12 inches away and 18 inches away. Listen to how distance affects the vocal tone.

Look it was behind the RCA input are there and the plug where it written 3.5 trs is where I connect the trs cable the 2 trs plugs goes into my interface and the other plugs goes there

Post a picture of both ends of your cable. I think you may be using the wrong cable setup. This was I suspected earlier, going from balanced TRS to stereo trs.

These are my cables that I use with the studio monitors

That cable might work. A simple check with a cheap VOM meter will confirm that it's configured properly if you know the wiring. The 1/4" connectors on the Motu are balanced connectors, so if there's no problem with the ground and shield being connected then fine.

You probably have a set of RCA cables laying around somewhere. I would just run the RCA to RCA connection, especially since both side go to the same point. RCA connectors have only been in use since the 1930s. They are pretty reliable.

BUT, if commercial music sounds right when played through your setup, then again, that means that the playback system is NOT the problem.

I wonder what that little white cable coming out of a drilled hole in the monitor is for.
Those are truly cheap and nasty monitors.
They Identify the DC Input socket, but don't tell you what voltage.

@TalismanRich's response covers a lot of what I would have said.

I don't think it's the balanced/stereo problem I thought it was. I suspect you just don't like how your voice sounds.

Yes when I plug the trs cables I showed earlier into my interface it works fine with my monitors and I also listen to music sometimes with my audio interface plugged into the monitors and it's really work fine so as you said the playback is not the problem and thanks for your help
