Micah 1
1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning 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 Hear ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of 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 For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along upon the high places 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 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.
Mòn yo fann anba Li; Vale yo fann tankou lasi devan dife, tankou dlo k ap vide desann yon pant apik.
5 For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose 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 Therefore will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
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 And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they 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 For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
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 dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as 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 In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
Pa pale sa nan Gath. Pa kriye menm. Nan Beth-Leaphra mwen te woule kò mwen nan pousyè.
11 Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
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 Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate 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 Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions 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, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception to 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 The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
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 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
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!
