Micah 3
1 I said, “Now listen, you leaders of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not right for you to understand justice?
Konsa, mwen te di: “Koute koulye a, chèf a Jacob yo ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo. Èske nou pa dwe konnen lajistis?
2 You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, their flesh from their bones—
Nou menm ki rayi sa ki bon, e ki renmen sa ki mal; ki chire po yo sou kò yo, ak chè yo soti sou zo yo;
3 you who also eat the flesh of my people, and tear their skin off, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, just like meat for a pot, just like meat in a cauldron.
k ap anplismanje chè pèp Mwen an, chire po yo sou yo, kraze zo yo e koupe yo an mòso, tankou se pou mete nan chodyè, tankou vyann nan bonm nan.
4 Then you rulers will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time, because you have done evil deeds.”
Konsa, yo va kriye fò a SENYÈ a, men Li p ap reponn yo. Olye de sa, nan lè sa a, Li va kache figi li a yo menm, akoz yo te pratike zak ki mechan.”
5 Yahweh says this, “As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one gives them something to eat, they proclaim, 'Peace.' But if he puts nothing in their mouths, they dedicate themselves to wage war on him.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan pwofèt ki te mennen pèp mwen an nan erè yo. Lè yo bay yo kèk bagay pou mòde ak dan yo, yo kriye: “Lapè”! men kont sila ki pa mete anyen nan bouch yo, yo deklare lagè.
6 Therefore, it will be night for you with no vision for you; it will be dark so that you will do no divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be dark on them.
Akoz sa, li fènwa sou nou—san vizyon e fènwa pou nou—san apèsi davni. Solèy la va kouche sou pwofèt yo, e lajounen va vin fènwa sou yo.
7 The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no answer from me.”
Vwayan yo va wont e divinò yo va nan konfizyon. Anverite, yo tout va kouvri bouch yo akoz Bondye pa reponn.
8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and am full of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Men kanta mwen menm, mwen ranpli ak pouvwa pa Lespri SENYÈ a, ak jistis ak kouraj Li, pou fè Jacob konnen zak rebelyon li an; menm a Israël, peche pa l la.
9 Now listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who detest justice, and pervert everything right.
Alò, tande sa, chèf lakay Jacob yo, ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo, ki rayi jistis, e ki vire tòde tout sa ki dwat,
10 You build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Ki bati Sion ak san koule, e Jérusalem ak vyolans e enjistis.
11 Your leaders judge for a bribe, your priests teach for a price, and your prophets do divination for money. Yet you rely on Yahweh and say, “Is not Yahweh with us? No evil will come on us.”
Chèf li yo fè jijman pou jwenn sa ki glise anba tab, e prèt li yo enstwi pou kòb, pandan pwofèt li yo ap pwofetize pou lajan. Malgre sa, yo apiye sou SENYÈ a. Yo di: “Se pa SENYÈ a ki nan mitan nou? Okenn malè p ap rive sou nou.”
12 Therefore, because of you, Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.
Konsa, akoz nou menm, Sion va vin raboure tankou yon chan, e Jérusalem va vin yon pil mazi, e mòn tanp lan va devni tankou wo plas yo nan forè a.
