< Micah 3 >

1 And I said hear please O chiefs of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel ¿ not [belong] to you [does] to know justice.
M'a di yo: Koute byen, nou menm ki alatèt pitit Jakòb yo, nou tout k'ap dirije pèp Izrayèl la! Se pa devwa nou pou nou rann tout moun jistis?
2 Haters of good and lovers of (evil *Q(K)*) tearers away of skin their from on them and flesh their from on bones their.
Men, se nou menm ankò ki rayi moun k'ap fè sa ki byen. Nou renmen moun k'ap fè sa ki mal. N'ap kòche pèp mwen an tou vivan, n'ap filange l' jouk nan zo.
3 And [those] who they have eaten [the] flesh of people my and skin their from on them they have stripped off and bones their they have broken in pieces and they have chopped [them] up just as in the pot and like meat in [the] midst of a caldron.
N'ap manje pèp mwen an. Nou kòche yo, nou kase tout zo nan kò yo. Nou dekoupe yo tankou vyann yo pral kwit, tankou vyann nou mete nan chodyè.
4 Then they will cry out to Yahweh and not he will answer them and he will hide face his from them at the time that since they have made evil deeds their.
Men, yon jou va rive, lè sa a n'a kriye nan pye Seyè a, men li p'ap reponn nou. Li p'ap tande sa n'ap di nan lapriyè nou yo, paske nou fè bagay ki mal.
5 Thus he says Yahweh on the prophets who mislead people my who bite with teeth their and they proclaim peace and [the one] who not he puts on mouth their and they consecrate on him war.
Men, gen yon bann pwofèt k'ap twonpe pèp mwen an. Depi yo gen yon zo y'ap souse, y'ap mache di jan gen lapè nan peyi a. Men, kite moun pa ba yo lajan, yo di pral gen lagè. Men sa Seyè a di sou pwofèt sa yo:
6 Therefore night [will belong] to you from vision and it will grow dark to you from divining and it will go the sun on the prophets and it will be dark on them the day.
Pwofèt! Jou nou yo prèt pou fini. Solèy la ap kouche sou nou. Nou p'ap fè vizyon lannwit ankò. Nan fènwa, nou p'ap wè anyen ankò.
7 And they will be ashamed the seers and they will be abashed those [who] divine and they will cover over a moustache all of them for there not [will be] an answer of God.
Moun k'ap fè prediksyon yo pral wont. Divinò yo p'ap konnen sa pou yo di. Yo pral rete men nan bouch, paske Bondye p'ap reponn yo.
8 And but I I am full power with [the] spirit of Yahweh and justice and might to declare to Jacob transgression its and to Israel sin its.
Men, pou mwen menm, Miche, Seyè a voye lespri l' sou mwen, li ban mwen fòs, li ban mwen pouvwa pou m' konnen sa ki dwat. Li ban mwen kouraj pou m' kanpe denonse fòfè pitit Jakòb yo, pou m' di pèp Izrayèl la nan figi l' sa l'ap fè ki mal la.
9 Hear please this O chiefs of [the] house of Jacob and O rulers of [the] house of Israel who loathe justice and every straight [thing] they make crooked.
Wi, koute m' non, nou menm ki alatèt pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm chèf k'ap dirije peyi Izrayèl la. Nou pa renmen sa ki dwat. Nou vire lalwa a, nou fè l' di sa nou vle.
10 [who] build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with injustice.
Se sou san moun n'ap bati lavil Siyon an. Se sou lenjistis n'ap bati lavil Jerizalèm.
11 Chiefs its - for a bribe they judge and priests its for a price they teach and prophets its for money they divine and on Yahweh they depend saying ¿ not [is] Yahweh in midst our not it will come on us calamity.
Moun ap achte chèf yo ak lajan. Prèt yo menm ap esplike lalwa a pou lajan. Ata pwofèt yo ap fè prediksyon pou lajan tou. Yo tout yo pretann di Seyè a avèk yo. Y'ap di: O wi, anyen p'ap rive nou! Seyè a bò kote nou!
12 Therefore on account of you Zion a field it will be plowed and Jerusalem heaps of ruins it will be and [the] mountain of the house high places of a forest.
Se konsa, n'ap lakòz peyi Siyon an pral tankou yon jaden y'ap raboure. Jerizalèm ap tounen mazi. Gwo pyebwa pral kouvri tout mòn kote tanp lan ye a.
