Miche 7
1 Ala malè pou mwen, mezanmi! Mwen tankou yon moun ki grangou nan mitan sezon rekòt epi ki pa jwenn yon ti fwi sou pyebwa, ni yon ti grenn rezen pou m' mete nan bouch mwen. Tout rezen fin keyi. Tout bon fig frans fin tonbe.
Woe! to me for I have become like gathering of summer fruit like gleanings of [the] grape harvest there not [is] a cluster of grapes to eat early fig[s] it craves appetite my.
2 Pa rete moun serye nan peyi a ankò. Pa gen moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ak tout kè yo. Tout moun ap tann chans pa yo pou mete men yo nan san. Moun ap mache mete pèlen yonn pou lòt.
He has perished [the] faithful from the land and [is] an upright [person] among humankind there not all of them for blood they lie in wait each brother his they hunt a net.
3 Yo tout pase mèt nan fè sa ki mal ak de men yo. Chèf yo ap fè egzijans. Jij yo ap mande lajan anba pou regle zafè pou moun. Grannèg yo menm mande sa yo vle. Se konsa yo tout yo fè yon sèl bann ansanm.
[are] on Evil both hands to do [it] well the official [is] asking and the judge for bribe and the great [person] [is] speaking [the] craving of self his he and they weave it.
4 Moun ki ta pi bon nan mitan yo a, se ponya wouye. Sa ki ta yon ti jan pi serye a, li boule pase lèt kandelab, li koupe pase zèb razwa. Jou pou Bondye pini pèp li a pral rive, jan l' te voye yo avèti l' la. Lè sa a, pèp la p'ap konnen ni sa pou l' di ni sa pou l' fè.
Good person their [is] like a thorn-bush an upright [person] more than a thorn hedge [the] day of watchmen your punishment your it has come now it will be confusion their.
5 Pa mete konfyans ou nan zanmi! Pa apiye sou ankenn bon zanmi! Veye bouch ou ata ak madanm ou!
May not you believe in a neighbor may not you trust in a close friend from [she who] lies of bosom your guard [the] openings of mouth your.
6 Lè sa a, pitit gason p'ap gen respè pou papa yo. Pitit fi ap kenbe tèt ak manman yo. Bèlfi ap fè kont ak bèlmè yo. Pi gwo lènmi ou se va pwòp moun k'ap viv nan kò kay ou.
For a son [is] treating with contempt a father a daughter [is] arising on mother her a daughter-in-law on mother-in-law her [are the] enemies of a person [the] people of own household his.
7 Men, se Seyè a ki tout mwen. Avèk konfyans, m'ap tann Bondye k'ap vin pou delivre m' lan. Wi, Bondye mwen an ap tande m'!
And I for Yahweh I will watch I will wait for [the] God of salvation my he will hear me God my.
8 Nou menm ki pa vle wè lavil Jerizalèm, nou pa bezwen kontan wè malè rive nou, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm. Nou tonbe, n'a leve ankò! Nou te mèt chita nan fènwa koulye a, Seyè a va yon limyè pou nou.
May not you rejoice O enemy my to me for I have fallen I will arise for I sit in darkness Yahweh [will be] light of me.
9 Se pou nou sipòte kòlè Seyè a paske nou fè peche kont Seyè a. Men bout pou bout, l'a pran defans nou, l'a rann nou jistis. L'ap mennen nou deyò nan limyè a ankò, n'a viv pou nou wè jistis Bondye.
[the] indignation of Yahweh I will bear for I have sinned to him until that he will conduct case my and he will do justice my he will bring out me to the light I will look on righteousness his.
10 Lè sa a, lènmi nou yo va wè sa, y'a wont, yo menm ki te konn ap mande nou: O wi! Kote Seyè a, Bondye nou an! N'a wè ak je nou jan lènmi nou yo ap fini. Y'a foule yo anba pye, y'a meprize yo tankou labou nan lari.
And she will see enemy my and it will cover her shame [she] who says to me where [is]? he Yahweh God your eyes my they will look on her now she will become a trampling place like [the] mud of [the] streets.
11 Nou menm, moun lavil Jerizalèm, jou pou nou rebati miray lavil la prèt pou rive. Lè sa a, y'a agrandi peyi a.
A day to build walls your a day that it will be far a boundary.
12 Wi, lè sa a, moun nou yo va tounen soti toupatou vin jwenn nou. Y'a soti nan peyi Lasiri bò solèy leve, y'a soti Lejip nan sid, y'a soti lòt bò larivyè Lefrat, y'a soti byen lwen lòt bò lanmè ak lòt bò mòn yo.
A day that and to you someone will come from Assyria and [the] cities of Egypt and from Egypt and to [the] River and sea from sea and mountain the mountain.
13 Men, tè a ap tounen dezè akòz mechanste moun k'ap viv sou li yo.
And it will become the earth a desolation on inhabitants its from [the] fruit of deeds their.
14 Seyè! Aji ak pèp ou te chwazi pou ou a tankou yon bon gadò k'ap pran swen mouton l' yo. Koulye a, pèp ou a rete pou kont li nan yon rakbwa ki antoure ak bon tè. Kite y' al manje nan bèl jaden peyi Bazan ak peyi Galarad jan yo te konn fè l' nan tan lontan an!
Shepherd people your with rod your [the] flock of inheritance your [who] dwell alone a forest in [the] midst of a garden-land let them graze Bashan and Gilead like [the] days of antiquity.
15 Seyè! Fè mèvèy pou nou jan ou te fè l' lè ou te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la!
Like [the] days coming out you from [the] land of Egypt I will show him wonders.
16 Moun lòt nasyon yo va wè sa, y'a wont malgre tout fòs yo genyen. Y'a mete men nan bouch. Y'a sezi,
They will see nations so they may be ashamed from all strength their they will put a hand on a mouth ears their they will be deaf.
17 y'a trennen kò yo atè nan pousyè tankou koulèv. Y'a mache tankou bèt k'ap trennen sou vant! Y'a pè, y'a kouri soti nan fò yo. Y'a tranble devan Bondye, y'a tounen vin jwenn li. Y'a tranble tankou fèy bwa akòz Seyè a.
They will lick up dust like snake like [things which] crawl of [the] earth they will quake from strongholds their to Yahweh God our they will be in dread and they may be afraid from you.
18 Pa gen bondye tankou ou, ou menm ki padonnen mechanste ti rès ki rete nan pèp ou a, ou menm ki pa gade sou sa yo fè ki mal. Ou pa fache pou tout tan. Ou pran tout plezi ou nan gen pitye pou moun.
Who? [is] a God like you [who] forgives iniquity and [who] passes over transgression to [the] remnant of inheritance his not he keeps hold of for ever anger his for [is one] desirous of covenant loyalty he.
19 Wi, w'a gen pitye pou nou ankò. W'a pran peche nou yo mete anba pye ou. W'a voye yo jete nan fon lanmè!
He will return he will have compassion on us he will subdue iniquities our so you may cast in [the] depths of [the] sea all sins their.
20 W'a moutre pitit Jakòb yo jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou. W'a moutre pitit Abraram yo jan ou p'ap janm sispann renmen yo, jan ou te sèmante l' bay zansèt nou yo nan tan lontan!
You will give faithfulness to Jacob covenant loyalty to Abraham which you swore to fathers our from days of antiquity.
