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 ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy 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, ye mountains, Jehovah's controversy, and ye, unchanging foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 “Pèp Mwen, se kisa Mwen te fè Ou? Nan kisa Mwen te fatige ou? Reponn Mwen!
O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
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 thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, 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 now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Jehovah.
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?
Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, bow myself before the high God? Shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves of a year old?
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?
Will Jehovah take pleasure in thousands of rams, in ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give 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 hath shewn thee, O man, what is good: and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with thy 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.
Jehovah's voice crieth unto the city, and wisdom looketh on thy name. Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
10 Èske toujou gen trezò mechanste lakay mechan an, ak yon mezi ki manke? Ki se madichonnen?
Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure [which is] abominable?
11 Èske Mwen kapab tolere yon fo balans ak yon sachè fo pèz?
Shall I be pure with the unjust balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
12 Paske moun rich li yo plen vyolans. Rezidan li yo fè manti, e lang yo twonpe soti nan bouch yo.
For her rich men are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Konsa tou, Mwen te frape ou ak yon blesi grav. Mwen te fè ou vin dezole akoz peche ou yo.
Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee; I will make [thee] desolate because of thy 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.
Thou shalt eat, and not be satisfied, and thine emptiness [shall remain] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take away, and not save; and what thou savest will I give up 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.
Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and new wine, but shalt not drink 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.”
For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab; and ye walk in their counsels: that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing; and ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
