Miche 6
1 Koute sa Seyè a ap di: -Leve non! Vin plede kòz ou devan gwo mòn yo! Kite ti mòn yo tande sa ou gen pou di a!
Hear you now what the LORD says; Arise, contend you before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Nou menm, mòn yo, nou menm ki fondasyon tè a pou tout tan, tande plent Seyè a ap vin pote pou pèp li a! Wi, li pral pote plent pou pèp Izrayèl la! Li gen yon kòz pou l' plede ak li!
Hear you, O mountains, the LORD’s controversy, and you strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 Seyè a di: Ooo! Pèp mwen! Kisa mwen fè nou kifè nou bouke avè m' konsa? Reponn mwen non!
O my people, what have I done to you? and wherein have I wearied you? testify against me.
4 Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la. Mwen wete nou nan esklavaj nou te ye nan peyi sa a! Mwen voye Moyiz, Arawon ak Miryam pou kondi nou ale.
For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of servants; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 Ooo! Pèp mwen! Chonje sa Balak, wa peyi Moab la, te fè lide fè nou, ak ki jan Balaram, pitit Bèyò a, te reponn li! Chonje sa ki te rive nou nan vwayaj nou an, lè nou te fin kite Sitim, anvan nou te rive Gilgal! Chonje tout bagay sa yo pou nou ka konprann sa m' te fè pou delivre nou!
O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal; that you may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Lè sa a, pèp la di: Kisa m'a pote ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye ki nan syèl la, lè m'a vin adore l'? Eske m'a pote pou li jenn ti towo bèf ki fèk gen ennan pou yo ka boule pou li?
With which shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Eske Seyè a ap kontan si m' pote ba li mil belye mouton ak di mil barik lwil? Eske m'a ofri premye pitit gason m' lan pou m' peye pou sa m' fè ki mal? Eske mwen ka pran sa ki soti nan zantray mwen pou m' bay pou kouvri peche mwen?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Y'a reponn li: Non monchè. Seyè a te moutre ou sa ki byen. Tou sa li mande ou, se pou ou fè sa ki dwat, se pou ou gen kè sansib nan tout sa w'ap fè, se pou ou mache san lògèy devan li.
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 Lè yon moun gen konprann, li gen krentif pou Seyè a. Seyè a ap rele moun lavil Jerizalèm yo: Koute m' byen, nou tout ki reyini nan lavil la!
The LORD’s voice cries to the city, and the man of wisdom shall see your name: hear you the rod, and who has appointed it.
10 Lakay moun mechan yo plen byen yo achte ak move lajan! Y'ap sèvi ak fo mamit, bagay mwen pa vle wè.
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
11 Ki jan ou vle pou m' padonnen bann moun sa yo k'ap sèvi ak move balans, ak fo mamit?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Moun rich nan lavil la ap peze pòv malere yo. Yo tout se yon bann mantò: Bonjou yo pa laverite!
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Se poutèt sa m'ap manyen ak nou. Akòz peche nou yo, m'ap fini ak nou nèt.
Therefore also will I make you sick in smiting you, in making you desolate because of your sins.
14 N'ap manje, men vant nou p'ap janm plen, n'ap grangou toujou. Lè nou konprann se sere n'ap sere pou pita, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Avèk lagè m'ap voye sou nou an, n'ap pèdi tou sa nou te sere a.
You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in the middle of you; and you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver will I give up to the sword.
15 N'a plante, men se pa nou ki va rekòlte. N'a kraze grenn oliv pou fè lwil, men nou p'ap gen tan sèvi avè l'. N'a kraze rezen fè diven, men nou p'ap gen tan goute ladan l'.
You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint you with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
16 Nou pran swiv move mès wa Omri a ansanm ak move bagay wa Akab, pitit gason l' lan, t'ap fè a. N'ap fè menm bagay yo t'ap fè a toujou. Se poutèt sa, m'ap fè malè tonbe sou nou. Tout moun pral rele chalbari dèyè nou. Moun toupatou pral trete nou tankou fatra.
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I should make you a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people.
