< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to! [those who] plan wickedness and [those who] do evil on beds their at [the] light the morning they do it for there [belongs] to [the] power of hand their.
Ala mal sa pral mal pou moun ki kouche nan kabann yo ap fè move plan, k'ap kalkile mechanste yo pral fè! Kou jou kase, premye okazyon yo jwenn, yo fè sa yo t'ap kalkile a, paske yo gen pouvwa nan men yo.
2 And they desire fields and they seize [them] and houses and they take [them] and they oppress a man and household his and a man and inheritance his.
Yo anvi yon jaden, yo pran l'. Yo anvi yon kay, yo antre kareman, yo pran l'. Yo maltrete mèt kay la ak tout fanmi l'. Yo bat moun yo, yo pran tout byen yo.
3 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] planning on the clan this calamity which not you will remove from there necks your and not you will walk haughtily for [will be] a time evil it.
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: M'ap pare yon malè pou nou. Nou yonn p'ap chape. Nou p'ap ka gonfle lestonmak nou sou moun ankò, paske sa pral rèd pou nou.
4 On the day that someone will lift up on you a saying and he will wail a wailing it is finished he will say utterly we are devastated [the] portion of people my he exchanges how! he removes [it] for me to an apostate fields our he apportions.
Lè jou a va rive, yo pral fè chante sou nou. Y'a plenn sò nou, y'a di: Nou pèdi tou sa nou te genyen. Bondye kite moun lòt nasyon yo pran peyi a nan men nou. Wi, li pran jaden nou yo bay yon bann moun ki pa kwè nan li.
5 Therefore not he will belong to you [one who] casts a measuring-line by lot in [the] assembly of Yahweh.
Konsa, lè lè a va rive, tout moun va sanble pou yo renmèt tè a bay pèp Bondye a. Ou p'ap jwenn pèsonn kanpe pou reklame yon pòsyon pou ou.
6 May not you prophesy they prophesy! not they will prophesy of these [things] not it will be turned back ignomini[es].
Moun yo ap plede di m': Sispann pale konsa! Ou pa fèt pou di bagay konsa. Sa w'ap di a p'ap janm rive.
7 ¿ [is it] said O house of Jacob ¿ is it short [the] spirit of Yahweh or? [are] these deeds his ¿ not words my do they do good with the upright [person] walking.
Nou menm, pitit Jakòb yo, Seyè a gen lè pèdi pasyans ak nou? Eske nou kwè l'a fè tout bagay sa yo vre? Eske pawòl li se pa bon pawòl pou moun k'ap mache dwat yo?
8 And yesterday people my to an enemy he raises up from in front of a garment a mantle you strip off! from [those who] pass by security [those who] return of war.
Seyè a reponn: Nou leve dèyè pèp mwen an tankou si nou te lènmi yo. Moun ap mache kè pòpòz san okenn lide chache moun kont, men nou la, n'ap tann konsa pou nou vòlò ata rad ki sou yo.
9 [the] women of People my you drive out! from [the] house of delights her from with children her you take away glory my for ever.
Medam yo t'ap viv ak kè kontan lakay yo. Nou vini, nou mete yo deyò. Timoun yo t'ap jwi benediksyon mwen ba yo. Nou vini, nou wete tou sa nèt nan men yo.
10 Arise and go for not this [is] resting place because it has become unclean it will destroy and [the] destruction [will be] grievous.
Leve non! Al fè wout nou! Pa gen repo pou nou isit la ankò! Nou fè twòp bagay derespektan. Nou fè yo detwi peyi a. Y'ap fini avè l' nèt.
11 If anyone walking of wind and falsehood he told a lie I will prophesy for you of wine and of strong drink and he will be [the] prophesier of the people this.
Si yon moun ap plede pwonmennen bay manti pou twonpe moun, si li di: M'ap fè prediksyon pou nou: Men li, diven ak gwòg pral koule kou dlo, se moun konsa nou renmen pou pwofèt.
12 Surely I will gather O Jacob all of you surely I will assemble [the] remnant of Israel together I will make it like sheep a sheepfold like a flock in [the] midst of pasture its they will be distraught from humankind.
Men, m'ap reyini tout pitit Jakòb yo ansanm. M'ap ranmase tout ti rès ki rete nan moun Izrayèl yo. M'ap mennen yo ansanm tankou bann mouton k'ap tounen nan pak yo. Peyi a pral tankou yon savann plen mouton. Li pral plen moun ankò.
13 He will go up the [one who] breaks through before them they will break through and they have passed through [the] gate and they have gone out by it and he has passed on king their before them and Yahweh [will be] at head their.
Bondye ap pran devan, l'ap louvri yon chemen pou yo. Yo menm, y'a kraze pòtay yo, y'a pase lib soti deyò. Wa yo a va mache devan yo. Wi, se Seyè a ki va mache alatèt yo.
