Micah 3
1 I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you 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 You who hate the good, and love the evil; who tear off their skin, and their flesh from off their bones;
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 who also eat the flesh of my people, and peel their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as meat within the cauldron.
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 to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”
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 The LORD says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray—for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
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 is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
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 The seers shall be disappointed, and the diviners confounded. Yes, they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from 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 But as for me, I am full of power by the LORD’s Spirit, and of judgement, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
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 Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity,
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 up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Se sou san moun n'ap bati lavil Siyon an. Se sou lenjistis n'ap bati lavil Jerizalèm.
11 Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money; yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “Isn’t the LORD amongst us? No disaster will come on us.”
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 Zion for your sake will be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble, and the mountain of the temple like the 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.
