Micah 6
1 Listen to what the Lord is saying. Stand up and plead your case. Let the mountains and the hills hear your voice.
Koute sa Seyè a ap di: -Leve non! Vin plede kòz ou devan gwo mòn yo! Kite ti mòn yo tande sa ou gen pou di a!
2 And now, mountains, hear the Lord's argument. Listen, everlasting foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
Nou menm, mòn yo, nou menm ki fondasyon tè a pou tout tan, tande plent Seyè a ap vin pote pou pèp li a! Wi, li pral pote plent pou pèp Izrayèl la! Li gen yon kòz pou l' plede ak li!
3 My people, what have I done to you? What is it that I have done to make you tired of me?
Seyè a di: Ooo! Pèp mwen! Kisa mwen fè nou kifè nou bouke avè m' konsa? Reponn mwen non!
4 For I brought you out of the land of Egypt and rescued you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la. Mwen wete nou nan esklavaj nou te ye nan peyi sa a! Mwen voye Moyiz, Arawon ak Miryam pou kondi nou ale.
5 My people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, planned to do, and what Balaam, son of Beor, told him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so you could know all the good things the Lord does.
Ooo! Pèp mwen! Chonje sa Balak, wa peyi Moab la, te fè lide fè nou, ak ki jan Balaram, pitit Bèyò a, te reponn li! Chonje sa ki te rive nou nan vwayaj nou an, lè nou te fin kite Sitim, anvan nou te rive Gilgal! Chonje tout bagay sa yo pou nou ka konprann sa m' te fè pou delivre nou!
6 What should I take with me when I approach the Lord, when I bow down before the God of heaven? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Lè sa a, pèp la di: Kisa m'a pote ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye ki nan syèl la, lè m'a vin adore l'? Eske m'a pote pou li jenn ti towo bèf ki fèk gen ennan pou yo ka boule pou li?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I sacrifice my firstborn child for my rebellion, my own flesh and blood for the sins I have committed?
Eske Seyè a ap kontan si m' pote ba li mil belye mouton ak di mil barik lwil? Eske m'a ofri premye pitit gason m' lan pou m' peye pou sa m' fè ki mal? Eske mwen ka pran sa ki soti nan zantray mwen pou m' bay pou kouvri peche mwen?
8 The Lord has told you what is good, and what the Lord asks from you: to do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk in humility with your God.
Y'a reponn li: Non monchè. Seyè a te moutre ou sa ki byen. Tou sa li mande ou, se pou ou fè sa ki dwat, se pou ou gen kè sansib nan tout sa w'ap fè, se pou ou mache san lògèy devan li.
9 The voice of the Lord calls to the city—to respect your name is to be wise—pay attention to the rod and who summoned it.
Lè yon moun gen konprann, li gen krentif pou Seyè a. Seyè a ap rele moun lavil Jerizalèm yo: Koute m' byen, nou tout ki reyini nan lavil la!
10 Are there still ill-gotten gains in the houses of the wicked? Are they still using dishonest measures in selling grain?
Lakay moun mechan yo plen byen yo achte ak move lajan! Y'ap sèvi ak fo mamit, bagay mwen pa vle wè.
11 How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights?
Ki jan ou vle pou m' padonnen bann moun sa yo k'ap sèvi ak move balans, ak fo mamit?
12 Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit.
Moun rich nan lavil la ap peze pòv malere yo. Yo tout se yon bann mantò: Bonjou yo pa laverite!
13 So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.
Se poutèt sa m'ap manyen ak nou. Akòz peche nou yo, m'ap fini ak nou nèt.
14 You will eat, but never be satisfied; inside you will still feel hungry. Even though you try to save money, what you save won't be worth anything because I will give it to the sword.
N'ap manje, men vant nou p'ap janm plen, n'ap grangou toujou. Lè nou konprann se sere n'ap sere pou pita, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Avèk lagè m'ap voye sou nou an, n'ap pèdi tou sa nou te sere a.
15 You will sow, but you won't reap; you will press your olives, but not use the oil; you will make your wine, but drink none of it.
N'a plante, men se pa nou ki va rekòlte. N'a kraze grenn oliv pou fè lwil, men nou p'ap gen tan sèvi avè l'. N'a kraze rezen fè diven, men nou p'ap gen tan goute ladan l'.
16 You have kept the laws of Omri, and adopted all the practices of the house of Ahab, you have followed their ways. So I will make your country desolate and the people who live there an object of scorn; you will bear the shame of my people.
Nou pran swiv move mès wa Omri a ansanm ak move bagay wa Akab, pitit gason l' lan, t'ap fè a. N'ap fè menm bagay yo t'ap fè a toujou. Se poutèt sa, m'ap fè malè tonbe sou nou. Tout moun pral rele chalbari dèyè nou. Moun toupatou pral trete nou tankou fatra.
