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 ye now what YHWH saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy 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 ye, O mountains, YHWH 's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for YHWH hath 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 unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? 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 thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee 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 unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of YHWH.
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?
Wherewith shall I come before YHWH, and bow myself before the high Elohim? 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 YHWH 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 hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YHWH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy Elohim?
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!
YHWH 's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath 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 thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy 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.
Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest 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'.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt 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 ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
