Micah 6
1 Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Koute koulye a sa ke SENYÈ a ap di: “Leve, plede ka ou devan mòn yo; kite kolin yo tande vwa ou.
2 Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
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.
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
“Pèp Mwen, se kisa Mwen te fè Ou? Nan kisa Mwen te fatige ou? Reponn Mwen!
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
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.”
5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD.”
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.”
6 How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
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?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
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?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
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?
9 The LORD’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
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.
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short efah that is accursed?
Èske toujou gen trezò mechanste lakay mechan an, ak yon mezi ki manke? Ki se madichonnen?
11 Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
Èske Mwen kapab tolere yon fo balans ak yon sachè fo pèz?
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Paske moun rich li yo plen vyolans. Rezidan li yo fè manti, e lang yo twonpe soti nan bouch yo.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Konsa tou, Mwen te frape ou ak yon blesi grav. Mwen te fè ou vin dezole akoz peche ou yo.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
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.
15 You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
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.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
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.”
