Micah 2
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Ala mal sa pral mal pou moun ki kouche nan kabann yo ap fè move plan, k'ap kalkile mechanste yo pral fè! Kou jou kase, premye okazyon yo jwenn, yo fè sa yo t'ap kalkile a, paske yo gen pouvwa nan men yo.
2 And they covet fields, and seize them, and houses, and take them away. And they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Yo anvi yon jaden, yo pran l'. Yo anvi yon kay, yo antre kareman, yo pran l'. Yo maltrete mèt kay la ak tout fanmi l'. Yo bat moun yo, yo pran tout byen yo.
3 Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I devise an evil against this family, from which ye shall not remove your necks, nor shall ye walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: M'ap pare yon malè pou nou. Nou yonn p'ap chape. Nou p'ap ka gonfle lestonmak nou sou moun ankò, paske sa pral rèd pou nou.
4 In that day they shall take up a taunt against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation. And say, We are utterly ruined. He changes the portion of my people. How he removes it from me! He divides our fields to the rebellious.
Lè jou a va rive, yo pral fè chante sou nou. Y'a plenn sò nou, y'a di: Nou pèdi tou sa nou te genyen. Bondye kite moun lòt nasyon yo pran peyi a nan men nou. Wi, li pran jaden nou yo bay yon bann moun ki pa kwè nan li.
5 Therefore thou shall have nobody to cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
Konsa, lè lè a va rive, tout moun va sanble pou yo renmèt tè a bay pèp Bondye a. Ou p'ap jwenn pèsonn kanpe pou reklame yon pòsyon pou ou.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these, so reproaches shall not depart.
Moun yo ap plede di m': Sispann pale konsa! Ou pa fèt pou di bagay konsa. Sa w'ap di a p'ap janm rive.
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah restricted? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
Nou menm, pitit Jakòb yo, Seyè a gen lè pèdi pasyans ak nou? Eske nou kwè l'a fè tout bagay sa yo vre? Eske pawòl li se pa bon pawòl pou moun k'ap mache dwat yo?
8 But of late my people have risen up as an enemy. Ye strip off the robe with the garment from those who pass by securely as men turning back from war.
Seyè a reponn: Nou leve dèyè pèp mwen an tankou si nou te lènmi yo. Moun ap mache kè pòpòz san okenn lide chache moun kont, men nou la, n'ap tann konsa pou nou vòlò ata rad ki sou yo.
9 Ye cast out the women of my people from their pleasant houses. Ye take away my glory from their young sons forever.
Medam yo t'ap viv ak kè kontan lakay yo. Nou vini, nou mete yo deyò. Timoun yo t'ap jwi benediksyon mwen ba yo. Nou vini, nou wete tou sa nèt nan men yo.
10 Arise ye, and depart, for this is not your resting-place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Leve non! Al fè wout nou! Pa gen repo pou nou isit la ankò! Nou fè twòp bagay derespektan. Nou fè yo detwi peyi a. Y'ap fini avè l' nèt.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, I will prophesy to thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Si yon moun ap plede pwonmennen bay manti pou twonpe moun, si li di: M'ap fè prediksyon pou nou: Men li, diven ak gwòg pral koule kou dlo, se moun konsa nou renmen pou pwofèt.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture. They shall make great noise because of the multitude of men.
Men, m'ap reyini tout pitit Jakòb yo ansanm. M'ap ranmase tout ti rès ki rete nan moun Izrayèl yo. M'ap mennen yo ansanm tankou bann mouton k'ap tounen nan pak yo. Peyi a pral tankou yon savann plen mouton. Li pral plen moun ankò.
13 The breaker has gone up before them. They have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and have gone out there. And their king has passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
Bondye ap pran devan, l'ap louvri yon chemen pou yo. Yo menm, y'a kraze pòtay yo, y'a pase lib soti deyò. Wa yo a va mache devan yo. Wi, se Seyè a ki va mache alatèt yo.
