Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
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.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
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.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
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.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
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.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
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!
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
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.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
Men pou mwen menm, mwen va gade vè SENYÈ a. Mwen va tann Bondye a sali mwen an. Bondye mwen an va koute mwen.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
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.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
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.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
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.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
Sa va yon jou pou bati miray ou yo. Nan jou sa a, lizyè ou yo va vin grandi.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
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.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
Malgre, latè va vin dezole akoz sila k ap viv ladann yo, akoz fwi a zak yo.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
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.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
“Tankou nan jou lè ou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen va montre ou Mirak.”
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
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.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
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.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
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.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
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.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Ou va bay verite a Jacob ak mizerikòd a Abraham, tankou Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt nou yo depi nan jou ansyen yo.
