Micah 3
1 And I say, “Now hear, O heads of Jacob, And you judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?
Konsa, mwen te di: “Koute koulye a, chèf a Jacob yo ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo. Èske nou pa dwe konnen lajistis?
2 You who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,
Nou menm ki rayi sa ki bon, e ki renmen sa ki mal; ki chire po yo sou kò yo, ak chè yo soti sou zo yo;
3 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stripped, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a cauldron.”
k ap anplismanje chè pèp Mwen an, chire po yo sou yo, kraze zo yo e koupe yo an mòso, tankou se pou mete nan chodyè, tankou vyann nan bonm nan.
4 Then they cry to YHWH, And He does not answer them, And hides His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.
Konsa, yo va kriye fò a SENYÈ a, men Li p ap reponn yo. Olye de sa, nan lè sa a, Li va kache figi li a yo menm, akoz yo te pratike zak ki mechan.”
5 Thus said YHWH concerning the prophets Who are causing My people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried “Peace,” And he who does not give to their mouth, They have sanctified against him war:
Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan pwofèt ki te mennen pèp mwen an nan erè yo. Lè yo bay yo kèk bagay pou mòde ak dan yo, yo kriye: “Lapè”! men kont sila ki pa mete anyen nan bouch yo, yo deklare lagè.
6 “Therefore you have a night without vision, And you have darkness without divination, And the sun has gone in on the prophets, And the day has been black over them.
Akoz sa, li fènwa sou nou—san vizyon e fènwa pou nou—san apèsi davni. Solèy la va kouche sou pwofèt yo, e lajounen va vin fènwa sou yo.
7 And the seers have been ashamed, And the diviners have been confounded, And all of them have covered their lip, For there is no answer, O God.”
Vwayan yo va wont e divinò yo va nan konfizyon. Anverite, yo tout va kouvri bouch yo akoz Bondye pa reponn.
8 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of YHWH, And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his transgression, And to Israel his sin.
Men kanta mwen menm, mwen ranpli ak pouvwa pa Lespri SENYÈ a, ak jistis ak kouraj Li, pou fè Jacob konnen zak rebelyon li an; menm a Israël, peche pa l la.
9 Now hear this, O heads of the house of Jacob, And you judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And pervert all uprightness.
Alò, tande sa, chèf lakay Jacob yo, ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo, ki rayi jistis, e ki vire tòde tout sa ki dwat,
10 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity.
Ki bati Sion ak san koule, e Jérusalem ak vyolans e enjistis.
11 Her heads judge for a bribe, And her priests teach for hire, And her prophets divine for silver, And on YHWH they lean, saying, “Is not YHWH in our midst? Evil does not come in on us.”
Chèf li yo fè jijman pou jwenn sa ki glise anba tab, e prèt li yo enstwi pou kòb, pandan pwofèt li yo ap pwofetize pou lajan. Malgre sa, yo apiye sou SENYÈ a. Yo di: “Se pa SENYÈ a ki nan mitan nou? Okenn malè p ap rive sou nou.”
12 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is plowed a field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house [is] for high places of a forest!
Konsa, akoz nou menm, Sion va vin raboure tankou yon chan, e Jérusalem va vin yon pil mazi, e mòn tanp lan va devni tankou wo plas yo nan forè a.
