Micah 3
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment?
Konsa, mwen te di: “Koute koulye a, chèf a Jacob yo ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo. Èske nou pa dwe konnen lajistis?
2 Ye who hate the good, and love evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Nou menm ki rayi sa ki bon, e ki renmen sa ki mal; ki chire po yo sou kò yo, ak chè yo soti sou zo yo;
3 and who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.
k ap anplismanje chè pèp Mwen an, chire po yo sou yo, kraze zo yo e koupe yo an mòso, tankou se pou mete nan chodyè, tankou vyann nan bonm nan.
4 Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; and he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
Konsa, yo va kriye fò a SENYÈ a, men Li p ap reponn yo. Olye de sa, nan lè sa a, Li va kache figi li a yo menm, akoz yo te pratike zak ki mechan.”
5 Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that cause my people to err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace! but whoso putteth not into their mouths they prepare war against him:
Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan pwofèt ki te mennen pèp mwen an nan erè yo. Lè yo bay yo kèk bagay pou mòde ak dan yo, yo kriye: “Lapè”! men kont sila ki pa mete anyen nan bouch yo, yo deklare lagè.
6 therefore ye shall have night without a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, without divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Akoz sa, li fènwa sou nou—san vizyon e fènwa pou nou—san apèsi davni. Solèy la va kouche sou pwofèt yo, e lajounen va vin fènwa sou yo.
7 And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded; and they shall all cover their lips, for there will be no answer of God.
Vwayan yo va wont e divinò yo va nan konfizyon. Anverite, yo tout va kouvri bouch yo akoz Bondye pa reponn.
8 But truly I am filled with power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and with judgment and with might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Men kanta mwen menm, mwen ranpli ak pouvwa pa Lespri SENYÈ a, ak jistis ak kouraj Li, pou fè Jacob konnen zak rebelyon li an; menm a Israël, peche pa l la.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity,
Alò, tande sa, chèf lakay Jacob yo, ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo, ki rayi jistis, e ki vire tòde tout sa ki dwat,
10 that build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with unrighteousness.
Ki bati Sion ak san koule, e Jérusalem ak vyolans e enjistis.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet do they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
Chèf li yo fè jijman pou jwenn sa ki glise anba tab, e prèt li yo enstwi pou kòb, pandan pwofèt li yo ap pwofetize pou lajan. Malgre sa, yo apiye sou SENYÈ a. Yo di: “Se pa SENYÈ a ki nan mitan nou? Okenn malè p ap rive sou nou.”
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Konsa, akoz nou menm, Sion va vin raboure tankou yon chan, e Jérusalem va vin yon pil mazi, e mòn tanp lan va devni tankou wo plas yo nan forè a.
