< 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?
And Y seide, Ye princis of Jacob, and duykis of the hous of Israel, here. Whether it be not youre for to knowe doom, whiche haten good,
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;
and louen yuele? Whiche violentli taken awei the skynnes of hem fro aboue hem, and the fleisch of hem fro aboue the bonys of hem.
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.
Whiche eeten the fleisch of my puple, and hiliden the skyn of hem fro aboue; and broken togidere the boonys of hem, and kittiden togidere as in a cawdroun, and as fleisch in the myddil of a pot.
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.”
Thanne thei schulen crie to the Lord, and he schal not here hem; and he schal hide hise face fro hem in that tyme, as thei diden wickidli in her fyndingis.
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.
The Lord God seith these thingis on the profetis that disseyuen my puple, and biten with her teeth, and prechen pees; and if ony man yyueth not in the mouth of hem ony thing, thei halewen batel on hym.
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.
Therfor niyt schal be to you for visioun, or profesie, and derknessis to you for dyuynacioun; and sunne schal go doun on the profetis, and the dai schal be maad derk on hem.
7 Vwayan yo va wont e divinò yo va nan konfizyon. Anverite, yo tout va kouvri bouch yo akoz Bondye pa reponn.
And thei schulen be confoundid that seen visiouns, and dyuynours schulen be confoundid, and alle schulen hile her cheris, for it is not the answer of God.
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.
Netheles Y am fillid with strengthe of Spirit of the Lord, and in doom and vertu, that Y schewe to Jacob his greet trespas, and to Israel his synne.
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,
Here these thingis, ye princes of the hous of Jacob, and domesmen of the hous of Israel, whiche wlaten dom, and peruerten alle riyt thingis;
10 Ki bati Sion ak san koule, e Jérusalem ak vyolans e enjistis.
whiche bilden Sion in bloodis, and Jerusalem in wickidnesse.
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.”
Princes therof demyden for yiftis, and prestis therof tauyten for hire, and profetis therof dyuyneden for money; and on the Lord thei restiden, and seiden, Whether the Lord is not in the myddil of us? yuelis schulen not come on vs.
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.
For this thing bi cause of you, Sion as a feeld schal be erid; and Jerusalem schal be as an heep of stoonys, and the hil of the temple schal be in to hiye thingis of woodis.
