< Micah 7 >
1 Woe is me! For I am like one gathering summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
Malè a mwen menm! Anverite, mwen tankou moun k ap ranmase fwi gran sezon, k ap rasanble retay rezen yo lè yo fin retire diven. Pa gen grap rezen pou manje, ni yon grenn premye fwi fig etranje pou m ta anvi goute.
2 The godly man has perished from the earth; there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt one another with a net.
Moun fidèl fin disparèt sou latè a, e nanpwen moun dwat pami lòm. Yo tout kouche an anbiskad pou vèse san; yo tout fè lachas dèyè frè yo ak pèlen.
3 Both hands are skilled at evil; the prince and the judge demand a bribe. When the powerful utters his evil desire, they all conspire together.
Toude men yo sou sa ki mal la pou fè l byen. Prens lan mande, e jij la prè pou yon glise anba tab. Yon nonm pwisan prezante tout mechanste ke nanm li bezwen. Konsa yo trese l pou fè l vin yon sèl.
4 The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns. The day for your watchmen has come, the day of your visitation. Now is the time of their confusion.
Pi bon nan yo se pikan. Pi dwat la pi mal pase kloti zepin. Jou gadyen ou, jou vizitasyon ou an fin rive. Koulye a y ap boulvèse, egare nèt.
5 Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms.
Pa fè konfyans ak yon vwazen. Pa fè konfyans ak yon zanmi. Ak fi la k ap kouche ak ou a, gade pòt bouch ou!
6 For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
Paske fis la derespekte papa a, e fi a leve kont manman li, bèlfi a kont bèlmè li; lènmi a yon nonm se anndan lakay li.
7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
Men pou mwen menm, mwen va gade vè SENYÈ a. Mwen va tann Bondye a sali mwen an. Bondye mwen an va koute mwen.
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.
Pa rejwi nou kont mwen menm, O lènmi mwen. Malgre mwen tonbe, mwen va leve ankò. Malgre mwen chita nan tenèb, SENYÈ a va yon limyè pou mwen.
9 Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the rage of the LORD, until He argues my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His righteousness.
Mwen va pote endiyasyon SENYÈ a, akoz mwen te peche kont Li, jiskaske li plede ka mwen an, e egzekite jijman pou mwen. Konsa, Li va mennen m sòti nan plen limyè, e mwen va wè ladwati Li.
10 Then my enemy will see and will be covered with shame— she who said to me, “Where is the LORD your God?” My eyes will see her; at that time she will be trampled like mud in the streets.
Answit, lènmi m va wè sa, e gwo wont va kouvri fi la ki te di m: “Kote SENYÈ Bondye ou a?” Zye m va gade fi sa a. Epi konsa, nan lè sa a, li va vin foule anba pye tankou kras labou nan lari.
11 The day for rebuilding your walls will come— the day for extending your boundary.
Sa va yon jou pou bati miray ou yo. Nan jou sa a, lizyè ou yo va vin grandi.
12 On that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates, from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.
Sa va yon jou ke yo va vin kote ou soti Assyrie ak vil Égypte yo; soti Égypte menm pou rive Rivyè Euphrate la, menm soti nan lanmè, rive nan lanmè, nan mòn rive nan mòn.
13 Then the earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the fruit of their deeds.
Malgre, latè va vin dezole akoz sila k ap viv ladann yo, akoz fwi a zak yo.
14 Shepherd with Your staff Your people, the flock of Your inheritance. They live alone in a woodland, surrounded by pastures. Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Mennen pèp Ou a ak kwòk beje Ou a, bann mouton a eritaj Ou a, ki rete pou kont yo, nan forè. Kite yo manje nan mitan bon pa, nan Basan ak Galaad, tankou nan ansyen tan an.
15 As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show My wonders.
“Tankou nan jou lè ou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen va montre ou Mirak.”
16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their might. They will put their hands over their mouths, and their ears will become deaf.
Nasyon yo va wè, e yo va wont de tout pwisans yo. Yo va mete men yo sou bouch yo; zòrèy yo va vin soud.
17 They will lick the dust like a snake, like reptiles slithering on the ground. They will crawl from their holes in the presence of the LORD our God; they will tremble in fear of You.
Yo va niche pousyè tankou sèpan. Tankou bagay k ap ranpe sou latè, yo va sòti tou ap tranble nan sitadèl souteren yo. Yo va vin vè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ak gwo lakrent; konsa, yo va pè devan Ou.
18 Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion?
Se kilès ki yon Bondye tankou Ou, ki padone inikite, e ki bliye zak rebèl a retay pèp eritaj li? Li pa kenbe kòlè li pou tout tan an, akoz Li pran plezi nan lanmou dous Li.
19 He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.
Li va gen konpasyon pou nou ankò. Li va foule inikite nou yo anba pye L. Wi, Ou va jete tout peche yo nan fon lanmè.
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob and loving devotion to Abraham, as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.
Ou va bay verite a Jacob ak mizerikòd a Abraham, tankou Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt nou yo depi nan jou ansyen yo.
