< Micah 1 >

1 The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te adrese a Michée, moun Moréscheth la, nan jou a Jotham, Achaz, ak Ézéchias, wa Juda yo, pawòl ke li te wè konsènan Samarie ak Jérusalem nan.
2 Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
Tande, O pèp yo, nou tout! Koute, O latè a, ak tout sa ki ladann. Kite SENYÈ Bondye a vin temwen kont nou; SENYÈ a, depi nan tanp sen Li an.
3 For behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a ap vin sòti nan plas Li a. Li va vin desann pou foule wo plas latè yo.
4 And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
Mòn yo fann anba Li; Vale yo fann tankou lasi devan dife, tankou dlo k ap vide desann yon pant apik.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] Jerusalem?
Tout sa se pou rebelyon a Jacob la ak pou peche Israël la. Se kisa ki rebelyon a Jacob la? Èske se pa Samarie? Se kisa ki wo plas a Juda yo? Èske se pa Jérusalem?
6 Therefore will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
Alò, Mwen va fè Samarie vin yon pil mazi nan yon chan louvri, tankou yon kote pou plante yon chan rezen. Mwen va vide wòch batisman li yo nan vale a, e Mwen va dekouvri mete toutouni tout fondasyon li yo.
7 And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they return.
Tout zidòl li yo va vin kraze nèt, tout kado yo bay li yo va vin brile ak dife a, e tout zidòl li yo Mwen va detwi; paske se pou salè a yon pwostitiye ke li te ranmase yo, e pou salè a yon pwostitiye yo va remèt.
8 For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and mourning like the ostriches.
Pousa, mwen oblije fè dèy e kriye fò. Mwen oblije ale pye atè ak toutouni. Mwen oblije fè lamantasyon tankou chen mawon, plenyen tankou otrich!
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Paske blesi li a p ap ka geri; paske li fin rive nan Juda. Li rive nan pòtay a pèp mwen an, menm Jérusalem.
10 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Pa pale sa nan Gath. Pa kriye menm. Nan Beth-Leaphra mwen te woule kò mwen nan pousyè.
11 Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
Ale fè wout ou, ou menm ki rete Schaphir; nan lawont ak toutouni ou. Moun Tsaanan p ap chape. Plenyen Beth-Haëtsel la: Li va retire sou ou tout soutyen li.
12 For the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Paske moun Maroth vin fèb nan tann sa ki bon, akoz malè vin desann sòti nan SENYÈ a, rive nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
13 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
Tache cheval yo nan cha lagè a, O moun Lakis! Fi sila a te kòmansman peche pou fi Sion an— akoz se nan ou, yo te twouve zak rebelyon a Israël yo.
14 Therefore shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Alò, ou va bay kado dadye a Moreschet-Gath. Lakay Aczib yo va vin yon desepsyon pou wa Israël yo.
15 I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
Anplis, Mwen va mennen bay nou sila k ap pran posesyon nou an, O nou menm k ap viv nan Maréscha yo! Glwa Israël la va antre menm nan Adullam.
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Vin chòv nèt; koupe tout cheve ou pou pitit ke ou renmen an. Elaji tèt chòv ou pou vin tankou èg, paske yo te ale an egzil kite ou!
