Miche 3
1 Konsa, mwen te di: “Koute koulye a, chèf a Jacob yo ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo. Èske nou pa dwe konnen lajistis?
I said, “Now listen, you leaders of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel: Is it not right for you to understand justice?
2 Nou menm ki rayi sa ki bon, e ki renmen sa ki mal; ki chire po yo sou kò yo, ak chè yo soti sou zo yo;
You who hate good and love evil, you who tear off their skin, their flesh from their bones—
3 k ap anplismanje chè pèp Mwen an, chire po yo sou yo, kraze zo yo e koupe yo an mòso, tankou se pou mete nan chodyè, tankou vyann nan bonm nan.
you who also eat the flesh of my people, and tear their skin off, break their bones, and chop them in pieces, just like meat for a pot, just like meat in a cauldron.
4 Konsa, yo va kriye fò a SENYÈ a, men Li p ap reponn yo. Olye de sa, nan lè sa a, Li va kache figi li a yo menm, akoz yo te pratike zak ki mechan.”
Then you rulers will cry out to Yahweh, but he will not answer you. He will hide his face from you at that time, because you have done evil deeds.”
5 Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan pwofèt ki te mennen pèp mwen an nan erè yo. Lè yo bay yo kèk bagay pou mòde ak dan yo, yo kriye: “Lapè”! men kont sila ki pa mete anyen nan bouch yo, yo deklare lagè.
Yahweh says this, “As for the prophets who lead my people astray, if one gives them something to eat, they proclaim, 'Peace.' But if he puts nothing in their mouths, they dedicate themselves to wage war on him.
6 Akoz sa, li fènwa sou nou—san vizyon e fènwa pou nou—san apèsi davni. Solèy la va kouche sou pwofèt yo, e lajounen va vin fènwa sou yo.
Therefore, it will be night for you with no vision for you; it will be dark so that you will do no divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be dark on them.
7 Vwayan yo va wont e divinò yo va nan konfizyon. Anverite, yo tout va kouvri bouch yo akoz Bondye pa reponn.
The seers will be put to shame, and the diviners will be confused. All of them will cover their lips, for there is no answer from me.”
8 Men kanta mwen menm, mwen ranpli ak pouvwa pa Lespri SENYÈ a, ak jistis ak kouraj Li, pou fè Jacob konnen zak rebelyon li an; menm a Israël, peche pa l la.
But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and am full of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Alò, tande sa, chèf lakay Jacob yo, ak sila k ap gouvène lakay Israël yo, ki rayi jistis, e ki vire tòde tout sa ki dwat,
Now listen to this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who detest justice, and pervert everything right.
10 Ki bati Sion ak san koule, e Jérusalem ak vyolans e enjistis.
You build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 Chèf li yo fè jijman pou jwenn sa ki glise anba tab, e prèt li yo enstwi pou kòb, pandan pwofèt li yo ap pwofetize pou lajan. Malgre sa, yo apiye sou SENYÈ a. Yo di: “Se pa SENYÈ a ki nan mitan nou? Okenn malè p ap rive sou nou.”
Your leaders judge for a bribe, your priests teach for a price, and your prophets do divination for money. Yet you rely on Yahweh and say, “Is not Yahweh with us? No evil will come on us.”
12 Konsa, akoz nou menm, Sion va vin raboure tankou yon chan, e Jérusalem va vin yon pil mazi, e mòn tanp lan va devni tankou wo plas yo nan forè a.
Therefore, because of you, Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.
