Miche 2

1 Ala mal sa pral mal pou moun ki kouche nan kabann yo ap fè move plan, k'ap kalkile mechanste yo pral fè! Kou jou kase, premye okazyon yo jwenn, yo fè sa yo t'ap kalkile a, paske yo gen pouvwa nan men yo.

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

2 Yo anvi yon jaden, yo pran l'. Yo anvi yon kay, yo antre kareman, yo pran l'. Yo maltrete mèt kay la ak tout fanmi l'. Yo bat moun yo, yo pran tout byen yo.

They covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

3 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: M'ap pare yon malè pou nou. Nou yonn p'ap chape. Nou p'ap ka gonfle lestonmak nou sou moun ankò, paske sa pral rèd pou nou.

Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.

4 Lè jou a va rive, yo pral fè chante sou nou. Y'a plenn sò nou, y'a di: Nou pèdi tou sa nou te genyen. Bondye kite moun lòt nasyon yo pran peyi a nan men nou. Wi, li pran jaden nou yo bay yon bann moun ki pa kwè nan li.

In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined. My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors.'"

5 Konsa, lè lè a va rive, tout moun va sanble pou yo renmèt tè a bay pèp Bondye a. Ou p'ap jwenn pèsonn kanpe pou reklame yon pòsyon pou ou.

Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of the LORD.

6 Moun yo ap plede di m': Sispann pale konsa! Ou pa fèt pou di bagay konsa. Sa w'ap di a p'ap janm rive.

"Do not prophesy." They prophesy. "Do not prophesy about these things. Disgrace won't overtake us."

7 Nou menm, pitit Jakòb yo, Seyè a gen lè pèdi pasyans ak nou? Eske nou kwè l'a fè tout bagay sa yo vre? Eske pawòl li se pa bon pawòl pou moun k'ap mache dwat yo?

Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the LORD angry? Are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"

8 Seyè a reponn: Nou leve dèyè pèp mwen an tankou si nou te lènmi yo. Moun ap mache kè pòpòz san okenn lide chache moun kont, men nou la, n'ap tann konsa pou nou vòlò ata rad ki sou yo.

But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.

9 Medam yo t'ap viv ak kè kontan lakay yo. Nou vini, nou mete yo deyò. Timoun yo t'ap jwi benediksyon mwen ba yo. Nou vini, nou wete tou sa nèt nan men yo.

You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

10 Leve non! Al fè wout nou! Pa gen repo pou nou isit la ankò! Nou fè twòp bagay derespektan. Nou fè yo detwi peyi a. Y'ap fini avè l' nèt.

Arise, and depart. For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.

11 Si yon moun ap plede pwonmennen bay manti pou twonpe moun, si li di: M'ap fè prediksyon pou nou: Men li, diven ak gwòg pral koule kou dlo, se moun konsa nou renmen pou pwofèt.

If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: "I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;" he would be the prophet of this people.

12 Men, m'ap reyini tout pitit Jakòb yo ansanm. M'ap ranmase tout ti rès ki rete nan moun Izrayèl yo. M'ap mennen yo ansanm tankou bann mouton k'ap tounen nan pak yo. Peyi a pral tankou yon savann plen mouton. Li pral plen moun ankò.

I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.

13 Bondye ap pran devan, l'ap louvri yon chemen pou yo. Yo menm, y'a kraze pòtay yo, y'a pase lib soti deyò. Wa yo a va mache devan yo. Wi, se Seyè a ki va mache alatèt yo.

The breaker goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with the LORD at their head.
