Micah 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite 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, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the LORD 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, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place, and will come down and tread on 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 The mountains melt under him, and the valleys split apart, like wax before the fire, like 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 "All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they 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 like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
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 All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
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 For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will howl like the jackals, and moan like the daughters of 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 wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to 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 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not weep at all. At Beth Leaphrah I have rolled myself 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 on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won't come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
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 waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to 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 Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
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 you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing 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 I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah. He who is the glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
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 Shave your heads, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight. Enlarge your baldness like the vulture; for they have gone into captivity from you.
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.
