Micah 1
1 The Lord’s message which came to Micah of Morsheth in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The visions he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.
Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te adrese a Michée, moun Moréscheth la, nan jou a Jotham, Achaz, ak Ézéchias, wa Juda yo, pawòl ke li te wè konsènan Samarie ak Jérusalem nan.
2 Listen, all you peoples! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the earth! For the Lord God will be a witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple!
Tande, O pèp yo, nou tout! Koute, O latè a, ak tout sa ki ladann. Kite SENYÈ Bondye a vin temwen kont nou; SENYÈ a, depi nan tanp sen Li an.
3 The Lord is coming from his holy place, he descends and treads on the heights of the earth,
Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a ap vin sòti nan plas Li a. Li va vin desann pou foule wo plas latè yo.
4 so that the mountains melt beneath like wax in the presence of the fire, and the valleys break apart like water poured down a steep descent.
Mòn yo fann anba Li; Vale yo fann tankou lasi devan dife, tankou dlo k ap vide desann yon pant apik.
5 All this is because of the crime of Jacob, and for the sin of the house of Israel. What was the crime of Jacob? Was it not Samaria? What is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Tout sa se pou rebelyon a Jacob la ak pou peche Israël la. Se kisa ki rebelyon a Jacob la? Èske se pa Samarie? Se kisa ki wo plas a Juda yo? Èske se pa Jérusalem?
6 “I will make Samaria a ruin in an open field, and a place where a vineyard is planted, I will hurl down her stones into the valley, and lay bare her foundations.
Alò, Mwen va fè Samarie vin yon pil mazi nan yon chan louvri, tankou yon kote pou plante yon chan rezen. Mwen va vide wòch batisman li yo nan vale a, e Mwen va dekouvri mete toutouni tout fondasyon li yo.
7 “All her images will be shattered, and all her statues will be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay in ruins. For they were acquired by prostitution, and to prostitution they will return.”
Tout zidòl li yo va vin kraze nèt, tout kado yo bay li yo va vin brile ak dife a, e tout zidòl li yo Mwen va detwi; paske se pou salè a yon pwostitiye ke li te ranmase yo, e pou salè a yon pwostitiye yo va remèt.
8 This is why I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked, I will howl like the jackals and mourn like the desert owl.
Pousa, mwen oblije fè dèy e kriye fò. Mwen oblije ale pye atè ak toutouni. Mwen oblije fè lamantasyon tankou chen mawon, plenyen tankou otrich!
9 For the blow that Samaria has received is incurable. It has spread over Judah, it extends even to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Paske blesi li a p ap ka geri; paske li fin rive nan Juda. Li rive nan pòtay a pèp mwen an, menm Jérusalem.
10 Don’t tell this in Gath! Don’t even cry – but sit in the dust at Beth-leaphrah.
Pa pale sa nan Gath. Pa kriye menm. Nan Beth-Leaphra mwen te woule kò mwen nan pousyè.
11 Pass by, inhabitants of Shaphir, naked and ashamed! The inhabitants of Zaanan cannot leave their city. Beth-ezel laments and removes its support from you.
Ale fè wout ou, ou menm ki rete Schaphir; nan lawont ak toutouni ou. Moun Tsaanan p ap chape. Plenyen Beth-Haëtsel la: Li va retire sou ou tout soutyen li.
12 The inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good! But the Lord has sent disaster to the gates of Jerusalem.
Paske moun Maroth vin fèb nan tann sa ki bon, akoz malè vin desann sòti nan SENYÈ a, rive nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
13 Harness the horse to the chariot, inhabitants of Lachish. You led the daughter of Zion, Jerusalem, into sin, in you are found the crimes of Israel.
Tache cheval yo nan cha lagè a, O moun Lakis! Fi sila a te kòmansman peche pou fi Sion an— akoz se nan ou, yo te twouve zak rebelyon a Israël yo.
14 Therefore you must give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath. Beth-achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
Alò, ou va bay kado dadye a Moreschet-Gath. Lakay Aczib yo va vin yon desepsyon pou wa Israël yo.
15 I will hand you to a conqueror, people of Mareshah, the leaders of Israel will hide in Adullam Cave!
Anplis, Mwen va mennen bay nou sila k ap pran posesyon nou an, O nou menm k ap viv nan Maréscha yo! Glwa Israël la va antre menm nan Adullam.
16 Shave your head in morning for the children you love, until you are bald as vultures, because they have left you for exile.
Vin chòv nèt; koupe tout cheve ou pou pitit ke ou renmen an. Elaji tèt chòv ou pou vin tankou èg, paske yo te ale an egzil kite ou!
