< 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.
Malè a sila k ap fè plan inikite yo, k ap manevre mechanste sou kabann yo! Lè maten rive, yo pratike li, paske sa nan pouvwa a 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 lanvi chan a lòt, epi konsa yo sezi yo, kay yo, e konsa yo pran yo. Yo oprimen yon nonm ak kay li, Yon nonm ak tout eritaj li.
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.
Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap fè yon plan kont pèp sa a, yon malè k ap fè nou p ap ka retire kou nou; ni nou p ap ka mache ak awogans, paske sa se yon move tan.
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.
Nan jou sa a, yo va fè leve kont nou yon pawòl; mokè yo va kriye ak yon lamantasyon tris. Yo va di: ‘Nou fin detwi nèt! Li divize eritaj a pèp mwen an. A la retire, Li retire l nan men mwen! Li bay moun trèt yo! Li divize bay chan nou yo!’”
5 Therefore thou shall have nobody to cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah.
Akoz sa, nou p ap gen pèsòn ki va tann lign mezi pou fè tiraj osò nan asanble SENYÈ a.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these, so reproaches shall not depart.
“Pa pwofetize”!—yo pwofetize— “Pa pwofetize de bagay de sila yo. Repwòch sa yo p ap janm rive nou.”
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?
Èske sa dwe pale, O Lakay Jacob? “Èske Lespri SENYÈ a pa an kolè? Èske bagay sa yo se zèv pa Li? Èske pawòl Mwen yo pa fè byen pou sila k ap mache dwat la?”
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.
Men koulye a, pèp Mwen an leve tankou yon ènmi. Nou chire retire manto ak abiman de sila k ap pase pa aza yo; moun k ap retounen, soti nan lagè.
9 Ye cast out the women of my people from their pleasant houses. Ye take away my glory from their young sons forever.
Fanm a pèp Mwen yo, nou chase yo deyò pou soti kite bèl ti kay yo. Nan men jèn pitit yo, nou rache retire tout benediksyon Mwen, jis pou tout tan.
10 Arise ye, and depart, for this is not your resting-place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Leve ale! Se pa isit ou ap jwenn repo; li plen ak sa ki pa pwòp, sa kab detwi, menm avèk yon destriksyon byen grav.
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 nonm ap mache nan yon lespri manti pou l di: “Mwen va pale avèk nou konsènan diven ak bwason fò,” li ta kapab menm vin pwofèt a pèp sa a.
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.
Anverite, Mwen va rasanble nou tout, O Jacob! Anverite, Mwen va ranmase retay Israël yo. Mwen va mete yo ansanm tankou mouton nan pak; tankou yon bann mouton nan mitan patiraj yo. Y ap plenn ak moun.
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.
Sila k ap ouvri kraze chemen a va ale devan yo. Yo kraze pòtay la pou soti. Se wa yo ki pase devan yo, ak SENYÈ la a latèt yo.
