Micah 7
1 Woe, woe is me, for I have become like a field after harvest, like a vineyard after gathering; not a cluster of grapes to eat, not a fig that anyone desires.
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 honest have perished from the land, of the upright among people there is none. All of them lie in wait to shed blood. They hunt one another with the net.
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 Their hands know well how to do evil, the officer and judge demands a bribe, the high official decides as he pleases and they conspire to pervert justice.
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 The best of them are like a thorn thicket, their most upright like a prickly hedge. The day of their punishment has come, now will be their confusion!
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 Do not trust your neighbour, do not rely on a friend. From the wife who lies in your arms guard your tongue.
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 son insults father, daughter rises up against mother, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law, a man’s enemies are the people 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 to the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation. 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 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy. If I have fallen, I will rise. If 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 The anger of the Lord I will bear, for against him have I sinned – until he champions my cause and gives judgment for me. He will bring me into to the light, I will see 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 So my enemy will see, and shame will cover them, they who said, ‘Where is the Lord your God?’ I will look upon them, they will be trampled on like mud in the street!
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 It is a day for rebuilding your walls, this day will your boundary will be extended.
Sa va yon jou pou bati miray ou yo. Nan jou sa a, lizyè ou yo va vin grandi.
12 This day they will come to you, from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the Euphrates River, 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 Though the land has become a desolation because of its inhabitants, because of their deeds.
Malgre, latè va vin dezole akoz sila k ap viv ladann yo, akoz fwi a zak yo.
14 Shepherd your flock with your staff, the flock that belong to you, who live alone in the forest, in the midst of meadows; so that they may pasture in Bashon and Gilead as in 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 as in the days when you came from Egypt, gave us wonders to see.
“Tankou nan jou lè ou te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen va montre ou Mirak.”
16 Nations will see and be ashamed of all their might; they will put their hands to their mouth, their ears will become 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 will lick the dust like snakes, like creatures that crawl on the earth; they will come trembling and in terror from their hiding places, in dread and fear.
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 you, forgiving iniquity and passing by the rebellion of the remnant of your people? He does not retain his anger forever, but is one who delights 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 tread under foot our iniquity; you will cast into the depths of the sea all our iniquities.
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 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and loving kindness to Abraham, as you have sworn to our ancestors 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.
