Micah 7
1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer-fruits, as the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; there is no early fruit [which] my soul desired.
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] hath perished out of the land, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, they hunt every man his brother 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 for evil, to do it well. The prince asketh, and the judge [is there] for a reward; and the great [man] uttereth his soul's greed: and [together] they combine it.
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 as a briar; the most upright, [worse] than a thorn-fence. The day of thy watchmen, thy visitation is come; now shall be their perplexity.
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 Believe ye not in a companion, put not confidence in a familiar friend: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
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 the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: a man's enemies are the men 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 unto Jehovah; 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 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: though I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah shall be a light unto me.
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 I will bear the indignation of Jehovah — for I have sinned against him — until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold 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 And mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her; now shall she be trodden down, as the mire of 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 In the day when thy walls shall be built, on that day shall the established limit recede.
Sa va yon jou pou bati miray ou yo. Nan jou sa a, lizyè ou yo va vin grandi.
12 In that day they shall come to thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the river, and from sea to sea, and from 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 But the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Malgre, latè va vin dezole akoz sila k ap viv ladann yo, akoz fwi a zak yo.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed 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 of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew them marvellous things.
“Tankou nan jou lè ou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen va montre ou Mirak.”
16 — The nations shall see, and be ashamed for all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be 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 shall lick dust like the serpent; like crawling things of the earth, they shall come trembling forth from their close places. They shall turn with fear to Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
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 unto thee, that forgiveth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in loving-kindness.
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 yet again have compassion on us, he will tread under foot our iniquities: and thou wilt cast all their 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 Thou wilt perform truth to Jacob, loving-kindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto 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.
