1 Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te adrese a Michée, moun Moréscheth la, nan jou a Jotham, Achaz, ak Ézéchias, wa Juda yo, pawòl ke li te wè konsènan Samarie ak Jérusalem nan.
THE WORD of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Tande, O pèp yo, nou tout! Koute, O latè a, ak tout sa ki ladann. Kite SENYÈ Bondye a vin temwen kont nou; SENYÈ a, depi nan tanp sen Li an.
Hear, ye peoples, all of you; Hearken, O earth, and all that therein is; and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.
3 Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a ap vin sòti nan plas Li a. Li va vin desann pou foule wo plas latè yo.
For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 Mòn yo fann anba Li; Vale yo fann tankou lasi devan dife, tankou dlo k ap vide desann yon pant apik.
And the mountains shall be molten under Him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 Tout sa se pou rebelyon a Jacob la ak pou peche Israël la. Se kisa ki rebelyon a Jacob la? Èske se pa Samarie? Se kisa ki wo plas a Juda yo? Èske se pa Jérusalem?
For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 Alò, Mwen va fè Samarie vin yon pil mazi nan yon chan louvri, tankou yon kote pou plante yon chan rezen. Mwen va vide wòch batisman li yo nan vale a, e Mwen va dekouvri mete toutouni tout fondasyon li yo.
Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the field, a place for the planting of vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof.
7 Tout zidòl li yo va vin kraze nèt, tout kado yo bay li yo va vin brile ak dife a, e tout zidòl li yo Mwen va detwi; paske se pou salè a yon pwostitiye ke li te ranmase yo, e pou salè a yon pwostitiye yo va remèt.
And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return.
8 Pousa, mwen oblije fè dèy e kriye fò. Mwen oblije ale pye atè ak toutouni. Mwen oblije fè lamantasyon tankou chen mawon, plenyen tankou otrich!
For this will I wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a mourning like the ostriches.
9 Paske blesi li a p ap ka geri; paske li fin rive nan Juda. Li rive nan pòtay a pèp mwen an, menm Jérusalem.
For her wound is incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Pa pale sa nan Gath. Pa kriye menm. Nan Beth-Leaphra mwen te woule kò mwen nan pousyè.
Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Ale fè wout ou, ou menm ki rete Schaphir; nan lawont ak toutouni ou. Moun Tsaanan p ap chape. Plenyen Beth-Haëtsel la: Li va retire sou ou tout soutyen li.
Pass ye away, O inhabitant of Saphir, in nakedness and shame; the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the standing-place thereof.
12 Paske moun Maroth vin fèb nan tann sa ki bon, akoz malè vin desann sòti nan SENYÈ a, rive nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good; because evil is come down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 Tache cheval yo nan cha lagè a, O moun Lakis! Fi sila a te kòmansman peche pou fi Sion an— akoz se nan ou, yo te twouve zak rebelyon a Israël yo.
Bind the chariots to the swift steeds, O inhabitant of Lachish; she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel are found in thee.
14 Alò, ou va bay kado dadye a Moreschet-Gath. Lakay Aczib yo va vin yon desepsyon pou wa Israël yo.
Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel.
15 Anplis, Mwen va mennen bay nou sila k ap pran posesyon nou an, O nou menm k ap viv nan Maréscha yo! Glwa Israël la va antre menm nan Adullam.
I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
16 Vin chòv nèt; koupe tout cheve ou pou pitit ke ou renmen an. Elaji tèt chòv ou pou vin tankou èg, paske yo te ale an egzil kite ou!
Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delight; enlarge thy baldness as the vulture; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
