< Micah 2 >
1 Woe [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the morning light they do it, For their hand is—to God.
Malè a sila k ap fè plan inikite yo, k ap manevre mechanste sou kabann yo! Lè maten rive, yo pratike li, paske sa nan pouvwa a men yo.
2 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently, And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man and his house, Even a man and his inheritance.
Yo lanvi chan a lòt, epi konsa yo sezi yo, kay yo, e konsa yo pran yo. Yo oprimen yon nonm ak kay li, Yon nonm ak tout eritaj li.
3 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am devising against this family calamity, From which you do not remove your necks, Nor walk loftily, for it [is] a time of evil.
Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap fè yon plan kont pèp sa a, yon malè k ap fè nou p ap ka retire kou nou; ni nou p ap ka mache ak awogans, paske sa se yon move tan.
4 In that day [one] takes up for you an allegory, And he has wailed a wailing of woe, He has said, We have been utterly spoiled, The portion of my people He changes, How He moves toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportions.
Nan jou sa a, yo va fè leve kont nou yon pawòl; mokè yo va kriye ak yon lamantasyon tris. Yo va di: ‘Nou fin detwi nèt! Li divize eritaj a pèp mwen an. A la retire, Li retire l nan men mwen! Li bay moun trèt yo! Li divize bay chan nou yo!’”
5 Therefore, you have no caster of a line by lot In the assembly of YHWH.
Akoz sa, nou p ap gen pèsòn ki va tann lign mezi pou fè tiraj osò nan asanble SENYÈ a.
6 You do not prophesy—they prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It does not remove shame.
“Pa pwofetize”!—yo pwofetize— “Pa pwofetize de bagay de sila yo. Repwòch sa yo p ap janm rive nou.”
7 [Those] named the house of Jacob: Has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened? Are these His doings? Do My words not benefit the people that are walking uprightly?
Èske sa dwe pale, O Lakay Jacob? “Èske Lespri SENYÈ a pa an kolè? Èske bagay sa yo se zèv pa Li? Èske pawòl Mwen yo pa fè byen pou sila k ap mache dwat la?”
8 And recently My people raise up as an enemy, You strip off the honorable ornament from the outer garment, From the confident passers by, You who are turning back from war.
Men koulye a, pèp Mwen an leve tankou yon ènmi. Nou chire retire manto ak abiman de sila k ap pase pa aza yo; moun k ap retounen, soti nan lagè.
9 The women of My people you cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings you take away My honor for all time.
Fanm a pèp Mwen yo, nou chase yo deyò pou soti kite bèl ti kay yo. Nan men jèn pitit yo, nou rache retire tout benediksyon Mwen, jis pou tout tan.
10 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of uncleanness it corrupts, And corruption is powerful.
Leve ale! Se pa isit ou ap jwenn repo; li plen ak sa ki pa pwòp, sa kab detwi, menm avèk yon destriksyon byen grav.
11 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood has lied: I prophesy to you of wine, and of strong drink, He has been the prophet of this people!
Si yon nonm ap mache nan yon lespri manti pou l di: “Mwen va pale avèk nou konsènan diven ak bwason fò,” li ta kapab menm vin pwofèt a pèp sa a.
12 I surely gather you, O Jacob, all of you, I surely bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I set it as the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It makes a noise because of man.
Anverite, Mwen va rasanble nou tout, O Jacob! Anverite, Mwen va ranmase retay Israël yo. Mwen va mete yo ansanm tankou mouton nan pak; tankou yon bann mouton nan mitan patiraj yo. Y ap plenn ak moun.
13 The breaker has gone up before them, They have broken through, Indeed, they pass through the gate, Indeed, they go out through it, And their king passes on before them, And YHWH at their head!”
Sila k ap ouvri kraze chemen a va ale devan yo. Yo kraze pòtay la pou soti. Se wa yo ki pase devan yo, ak SENYÈ la a latèt yo.
