Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and 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, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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 shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place.
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 For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression 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 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
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 the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
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 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
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 wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate 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 Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself 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 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
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 inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate 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 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
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 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings 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 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
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 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
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.
