Miche 7
1 Malè a mwen menm! Anverite, mwen tankou moun k ap ranmase fwi gran sezon, k ap rasanble retay rezen yo lè yo fin retire diven. Pa gen grap rezen pou manje, ni yon grenn premye fwi fig etranje pou m ta anvi goute.
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit.
2 Moun fidèl fin disparèt sou latè a, e nanpwen moun dwat pami lòm. Yo tout kouche an anbiskad pou vèse san; yo tout fè lachas dèyè frè yo ak pèlen.
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Toude men yo sou sa ki mal la pou fè l byen. Prens lan mande, e jij la prè pou yon glise anba tab. Yon nonm pwisan prezante tout mechanste ke nanm li bezwen. Konsa yo trese l pou fè l vin yon sèl.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
4 Pi bon nan yo se pikan. Pi dwat la pi mal pase kloti zepin. Jou gadyen ou, jou vizitasyon ou an fin rive. Koulye a y ap boulvèse, egare nèt.
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your visitation comes; now shall be their perplexity.
5 Pa fè konfyans ak yon vwazen. Pa fè konfyans ak yon zanmi. Ak fi la k ap kouche ak ou a, gade pòt bouch ou!
Trust you not in a friend, put you not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of your mouth from her that lies in your bosom.
6 Paske fis la derespekte papa a, e fi a leve kont manman li, bèlfi a kont bèlmè li; lènmi a yon nonm se anndan lakay li.
For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Men pou mwen menm, mwen va gade vè SENYÈ a. Mwen va tann Bondye a sali mwen an. Bondye mwen an va koute mwen.
Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Pa rejwi nou kont mwen menm, O lènmi mwen. Malgre mwen tonbe, mwen va leve ankò. Malgre mwen chita nan tenèb, SENYÈ a va yon limyè pou mwen.
Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me.
9 Mwen va pote endiyasyon SENYÈ a, akoz mwen te peche kont Li, jiskaske li plede ka mwen an, e egzekite jijman pou mwen. Konsa, Li va mennen m sòti nan plen limyè, e mwen va wè ladwati Li.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Answit, lènmi m va wè sa, e gwo wont va kouvri fi la ki te di m: “Kote SENYÈ Bondye ou a?” Zye m va gade fi sa a. Epi konsa, nan lè sa a, li va vin foule anba pye tankou kras labou nan lari.
Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said to me, Where is the LORD your God? my eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Sa va yon jou pou bati miray ou yo. Nan jou sa a, lizyè ou yo va vin grandi.
In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
12 Sa va yon jou ke yo va vin kote ou soti Assyrie ak vil Égypte yo; soti Égypte menm pou rive Rivyè Euphrate la, menm soti nan lanmè, rive nan lanmè, nan mòn rive nan mòn.
In that day also he shall come even to you from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 Malgre, latè va vin dezole akoz sila k ap viv ladann yo, akoz fwi a zak yo.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Mennen pèp Ou a ak kwòk beje Ou a, bann mouton a eritaj Ou a, ki rete pou kont yo, nan forè. Kite yo manje nan mitan bon pa, nan Basan ak Galaad, tankou nan ansyen tan an.
Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the middle of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
15 “Tankou nan jou lè ou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen va montre ou Mirak.”
According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt will I show to him marvelous things.
16 Nasyon yo va wè, e yo va wont de tout pwisans yo. Yo va mete men yo sou bouch yo; zòrèy yo va vin soud.
The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand on their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 Yo va niche pousyè tankou sèpan. Tankou bagay k ap ranpe sou latè, yo va sòti tou ap tranble nan sitadèl souteren yo. Yo va vin vè SENYÈ Bondye nou an, ak gwo lakrent; konsa, yo va pè devan Ou.
They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of you.
18 Se kilès ki yon Bondye tankou Ou, ki padone inikite, e ki bliye zak rebèl a retay pèp eritaj li? Li pa kenbe kòlè li pou tout tan an, akoz Li pran plezi nan lanmou dous Li.
Who is a God like to you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retains not his anger for ever, because he delights in mercy.
19 Li va gen konpasyon pou nou ankò. Li va foule inikite nou yo anba pye L. Wi, Ou va jete tout peche yo nan fon lanmè.
He will turn again, he will have compassion on us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Ou va bay verite a Jacob ak mizerikòd a Abraham, tankou Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt nou yo depi nan jou ansyen yo.
You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
