Miche 2
1 Malè a sila k ap fè plan inikite yo, k ap manevre mechanste sou kabann yo! Lè maten rive, yo pratike li, paske sa nan pouvwa a men yo.
Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Yo lanvi chan a lòt, epi konsa yo sezi yo, kay yo, e konsa yo pran yo. Yo oprimen yon nonm ak kay li, Yon nonm ak tout eritaj li.
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap fè yon plan kont pèp sa a, yon malè k ap fè nou p ap ka retire kou nou; ni nou p ap ka mache ak awogans, paske sa se yon move tan.
Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Nan jou sa a, yo va fè leve kont nou yon pawòl; mokè yo va kriye ak yon lamantasyon tris. Yo va di: ‘Nou fin detwi nèt! Li divize eritaj a pèp mwen an. A la retire, Li retire l nan men mwen! Li bay moun trèt yo! Li divize bay chan nou yo!’”
In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Akoz sa, nou p ap gen pèsòn ki va tann lign mezi pou fè tiraj osò nan asanble SENYÈ a.
Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the LORD’s assembly.
6 “Pa pwofetize”!—yo pwofetize— “Pa pwofetize de bagay de sila yo. Repwòch sa yo p ap janm rive nou.”
“Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 Èske sa dwe pale, O Lakay Jacob? “Èske Lespri SENYÈ a pa an kolè? Èske bagay sa yo se zèv pa Li? Èske pawòl Mwen yo pa fè byen pou sila k ap mache dwat la?”
Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is the LORD’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 Men koulye a, pèp Mwen an leve tankou yon ènmi. Nou chire retire manto ak abiman de sila k ap pase pa aza yo; moun k ap retounen, soti nan lagè.
But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 Fanm a pèp Mwen yo, nou chase yo deyò pou soti kite bèl ti kay yo. Nan men jèn pitit yo, nou rache retire tout benediksyon Mwen, jis pou tout tan.
You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 Leve ale! Se pa isit ou ap jwenn repo; li plen ak sa ki pa pwòp, sa kab detwi, menm avèk yon destriksyon byen grav.
Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 Si yon nonm ap mache nan yon lespri manti pou l di: “Mwen va pale avèk nou konsènan diven ak bwason fò,” li ta kapab menm vin pwofèt a pèp sa a.
If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 Anverite, Mwen va rasanble nou tout, O Jacob! Anverite, Mwen va ranmase retay Israël yo. Mwen va mete yo ansanm tankou mouton nan pak; tankou yon bann mouton nan mitan patiraj yo. Y ap plenn ak moun.
I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Sila k ap ouvri kraze chemen a va ale devan yo. Yo kraze pòtay la pou soti. Se wa yo ki pase devan yo, ak SENYÈ la a latèt yo.
He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
