Miche 6
1 Koute koulye a sa ke SENYÈ a ap di: “Leve, plede ka ou devan mòn yo; kite kolin yo tande vwa ou.
Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
2 Koute, O mòn yo, pwosè vèbal SENYÈ a, e ou menm, fondasyon latè ki dire tout tan yo. Paske SENYÈ a gen yon ka kont pèp Li a, e Li va plede ka Li ak Israël.
Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
3 “Pèp Mwen, se kisa Mwen te fè Ou? Nan kisa Mwen te fatige ou? Reponn Mwen!
‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
4 Anverite Mwen te mennen nou monte soti nan peyi Égypte. Mwen te rachte ou soti nan kay esklavaj la. Mwen te voye devan ou Moïse, Aaron ak Marie.”
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
5 Pèp mwen, sonje koulye a konsèy Balak, wa Moab la ak sa Balaam, fis a Beor a, te reponn li depi nan Sittim rive Guilgal, pou nou ta ka konnen zèv ladwati a SENYÈ a.”
My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
6 Avèk kisa mwen ta dwe vin parèt devan SENYÈ a, e bese m ba devan Bondye anlè a? Èske mwen ta vini ak ofrann brile, ak ti bèf ki gen yon lane?
With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
7 Èske SENYÈ a pran plezi nan milye de belye yo? Oswa nan dè di-milye de rivyè lwil yo? Èske se premye ne mwen an mwen dwe bay pou zak rebelyon mwen yo? Fwi a kò m pou peche nanm mwen an?
Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 Li te montre ou, O lòm, sa ki bon. Ki sa SENYÈ a egzije de ou? Sèl pou fè sa ki jis, renmen Mizerikòd, e mache nan imilite ak Bondye ou a?
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9 Vwa SENYÈ a va rele vè vil la, e sajès, li menm, fè lakrent non Ou. “Koute baton an, ak Sila ki te deziye l.
The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
10 Èske toujou gen trezò mechanste lakay mechan an, ak yon mezi ki manke? Ki se madichonnen?
Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
11 Èske Mwen kapab tolere yon fo balans ak yon sachè fo pèz?
Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
12 Paske moun rich li yo plen vyolans. Rezidan li yo fè manti, e lang yo twonpe soti nan bouch yo.
For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
13 Konsa tou, Mwen te frape ou ak yon blesi grav. Mwen te fè ou vin dezole akoz peche ou yo.
Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
14 Ou va manje, men ou p ap satisfè. Imilyasyon ou va nan mitan ou. Ou va vin mete sou kote, men ou p ap konsève, e sa ke ou t ap rezève a, Mwen va bay li a nepe.
You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
15 Ou va simen, men ou p ap rekòlte. Ou va kraze grenn oliv anba pye, men ou menm p ap onksyone ak lwil; kraze rezen, men ou p ap bwè diven an.
You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
16 Paske se règleman Omri yo nou kenbe, ak tout zèv lakay Achab yo nou obsève, e se nan konsèy yo ke nou mache. Akoz sa, Mwen va fè ou vin detwi nèt. Pèp ou a va giyonnen, e ou va sipòte repwòch a pèp Mwen an.”
You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
