Micah 1
1 The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Miche, moun lavil Morechèt, sou rèy Jotam, Akaz ak Ezekyas ki te wa nan peyi jida. Men vizyon ki gen rapò ak Samari ak Jerizalèm Seyè a te fè Miche wè.
2 Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
Koute byen, nou menm tout nasyon yo. Pare zòrèy nou, nou tout k'ap viv sou latè. Seyè a, Bondye a, pral akize nou. Tande! Li rete nan tanp ki apa pou li a, l'ap pale.
3 For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.
Seyè a ap soti kote li rete a, l'ap desann, l'ap mache sou tèt mòn yo.
4 And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.
Mòn yo ap fonn anba pye l' tankou lasi nan dife. Y'ap koule desann nan fon yo tankou lavalas k'ap desann mòn.
5 All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
Tou sa ap rive paske pèp Izrayèl la fè bagay ki mal, paske pitit Jakòb yo fè sa yo pa t' dwe fè. Ki moun ki reskonsab sa pèp Izrayèl la fè a? Se pa moun Samari, kapital peyi a? Ki moun k'ap fè idolatri nan peyi Jida a? Se pa moun lavil Jerizalèm?
6 So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.
Se konsa Seyè a di: M'ap fè lavil Samari tounen yon bann mazi nan plenn lan, yon jaden pou plante rezen. M'ap voye tout miray li yo jete nan fon. Se fondasyon kay yo ase k'ap rete pou moun wè.
7 And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.
Y'ap kraze tout zidòl yo an miyèt moso. Y'ap boule tou sa yo te ofri bay zidòl yo nan dife. M'ap fè kay zidòl yo tounen pil wòch. Pèp la te vire do bay Bondye lè yo t'ap fè zidòl sa yo, ou ta di madan marye k'ap fè jennès. Koulye a, y'ap peye pou vire yo te vire do bay Bondye a.
8 For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.
Lèfini, Miche di: Se poutèt sa m'ap plenn, m'ap kriye. M'ap pwonmennen mache pye atè, toutouni, pou m' fè wè lapenn mwen. M'ap rele tankou frize, m'ap wouke tankou chen.
9 For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Pa gen renmèd pou maladi moun lavil Samari yo. Li kontaminen peyi Jida a. Li gen tan rive jouk nan pòtay kapital peyi pèp mwen an. Li gen tan rive lavil Jerizalèm.
10 Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
Pa kite moun lavil Gat yo konnen sa ki rive nou! Pa kite moun Akò yo wè nou ap kriye! Woule kò nou atè nan pousyè, nou menm moun Betleafra.
11 Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
Pase pase nou, toutouni, tèt bese, nou menm moun lavil Safi. Moun ki rete nan ti bouk Zaanan an pa ka mete tèt yo deyò. Lè w'a tande jan moun Betaezèl yo ap plenn, w'a konnen ou p'ap jwenn pwoteksyon bò la ankò.
12 For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.
Moun Mawòt yo nan lapenn. Pa gen sekou pou yo ankò, paske Seyè a fè malè a rive nan papòt lavil Jerizalèm.
13 Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.
Nou menm, moun lavil Lakis, nou mèt pare bon chwal pou cha nou yo. Se nou menm an premye nan peyi Izrayèl ki te konmanse ap fè sa ki mal. Se nou menm ki lakòz moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap fè peche konsa.
14 For this cause give a parting offering to Moresheth-gath: the daughter of Achzib will be a deceit to the king of Israel.
Koulye a, nou menm moun peyi Jida, nou mèt di moun lavil Morechèt Gat yo orevwa, paske moun lavil Akzib yo bay manti, yo p'ap pote ankenn sekou bay wa Izrayèl yo.
15 Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
Kanta pou nou menm, moun lavil Marecha, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap fè lènmi pran lavil la nan men nou. Grannèg nan peyi Izrayèl yo pral kache nan twou wòch Adoulam lan.
16 Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
Nou menm moun Jida, reziyen nou, paske sa fè kè nou fè nou mal pou nou wè sa timoun nou renmen anpil yo ap fè. Mare ren nou tankou moun ki nan lapenn, paske y'ap depòte timoun nou yo ale byen lwen nou.
