Esias 29
1 Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather you fruits year by year; eat you, for you shall eat with Moab.
Malè a Ariel! Ariel, vil kote David yon fwa te fè kan an! Ogmante lane sou lane, obsève fèt ou yo nan lè yo.
2 For I will grievously afflict Ariel: and her strength and her wealth shall be mine.
Mwen va mennen gwo pwoblèm sou Ariel e li va vin yon vil gwo doulè ak lamantasyon. Pou Mwen, li va tankou yon lotèl k ap brile a.
3 And I will compass you about like David, and will raise a mound about you, and set up towers round you.
Mwen va fè kan kont ou e antoure ou. Mwen va monte aparèy syèj kont ou e fè yo monte fò batay kont ou.
4 And your words shall be brought down to the earth, and your words shall sink down to the earth, and your voice shall be as they that speak out of the earth, and your voice shall be lowered to the ground.
Konsa ou va vin bese. Se jis nan tè a, pale ou va bougonnen depi nan pousyè. Vwa ou va, anplis, tankou yon vwa a yon lespri, konsi ou konnen l deja, k ap soti nan tè a. Se konsa pawòl ou yo va chichote soti nan pousyè a.
5 But the wealth of the ungodly shall be as dust from a wheel, and the multitude of them that oppress you as flying chaff, and it shall be suddenly as a moment,
Men fòs kantite a lènmi ou yo va devni tankou pousyè fen e fòs kantite a mechan san prensip yo va tankou pay k ap vannen ale. Sa va fèt nan yon moman; sibitman.
6 from the Lord of Hosts: for there shall be a visitation with thunder, and earthquake, and a loud noise, a rushing tempest, and devouring flame of fire.
Li va vizite pa SENYÈ dèzame yo. Li va pini yo ak tonnè, tranbleman detè, gwo bri, toubiyon ak tanpèt ak flanm dife a ki manje tout bagay.
7 And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.
Konsa, fòs kantite a tout nasyon ki va fè lagè kont Ariel yo, menm tout moun ki fè lagè kont li ak gwo fò li yo ak sila ki bay li gwo twoub, sa va devni tankou yon rèv, yon vizyon nan nwit.
8 And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain: and as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain: so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against the mount Sion.
Sa va tankou lè yon nonm grangou fè rèv—e gade byen, l ap manje. Men lè l leve nan dòmi a, gade byen, li toujou fèb e grangou; li pa satisfè. Oswa lè yon nonm swaf fè rev—epi gade byen, l ap bwe, men lè l leve li toujou fèb, e swaf la pa t satisfè. Se konsa kantite tout nasyon ki fè lagè kont Mòn Sion yo va ye.
9 Faint you, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink nor with wine.
Pran reta epi tan! Avegle tèt nou pou nou avèg! Yo vin sou, men pa avèk diven; yo kilbite, men pa akoz bwason fò.
10 For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.
Paske SENYÈ a te vide sou nou, yon lespri pwofon somèy. Li te fèmen zye nou menm, pwofèt yo, e Li te kouvri tèt nou menm, konseye yo.
11 And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learnt man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I can’t read [it], for it is sealed.
Tout vizyon va pou nou tankou pawòl a yon liv ki fèmen ak so. Lè yo bay li a yon moun ki konn li, yo di l: “Souple, li sa a.” Men li va di: “Mwen pa kapab, paske li fèmen ak so.”
12 And this book shall be given into the hands of a man that is unlearned, and [one] shall say to him, Read this; and he shall say, I am not learnt.
Konsa liv la va bay a sila ki pa ka li, e y ap di l: “Souple, li sa a.” Epi li va di: “Mwen pa kapab li.”
13 And the Lord has said, This people draw near to me with their mouth, and they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: but in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
Senyè a te di: “Akoz pèp sa a rapwoche ak pawòl pa yo, e onore Mwen ak lèv yo, men yo retire kè yo byen lwen Mwen, e akoz adorasyon yo pou Mwen fèt pa tradisyon ki aprann pa kè,
14 Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them: and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
pou sa, gade byen, Mwen va yon fwa ankò aji ak mèvèy pami pèp sa; yon mèvèy ki etonan! Konsa, sajès a moun saj pa yo va disparèt, e konesans a moun ki gen bon konprann yo va vin kache.”
15 Woe to them that deepen their counsel, and not by the Lord. Woe to them that take secret counsel, and whose works are in darkness, and they say, Who has seen us? and who shall know us, or what we do?
Malè a sila ki kache plan yo byen fon pou SENYÈ a pa wè, e ki fè zak yo nan fènwa a, e y ap di: “Se kilès ki wè nou?” Oswa “Se kilès ki rekonèt nou?”
16 Shall you not be counted as clay of the potter? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, You did not form me? or the work to the maker, You have not made me wisely?
Ou chavire bagay la nèt! Èske sila ki fè kanari a ta dwe konsidere egal ak ajil la, pou sa ki te fèt la, ta ka di a sila ki fè li a: “Li pa t fè mwen”; oswa sa ki te fòme a ta ka di a sila ki te fòme li a: “Li pa konprann anyen?”
17 [Is it] not yet a little while, and Libanus shall be changed as the mountains of Chermel, and Chermel shall be reckoned as a forest?
Èske se pa yon ti kras tan ki rete ankò avan Liban vin transfòme an yon chan fètil, e chan fètil la va konsidere kon yon forè?
18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist: the eyes of the blind shall see,
Nan jou sa a, moun soud yo va tande pawòl a liv la e zye avèg yo va wè sa ki te kon fènwa ak tenèb.
19 and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope amongst men shall be filled with joy.
Anplis, moun enb yo va fè kè yo pi kontan ak SENYÈ a, e malere yo pami moun yo va rejwi nan Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.
20 The lawless man has come to nothing, and the proud man has perished, and they that transgress mischievously have been utterly destroyed:
Paske moun san pitye yo va rive nan fen yo, e mokè yo va disparèt. Anverite, tout moun ak lentansyon fè mal, va vin koupe retire nèt—
21 and they that cause men to sin by a word: and men shall make all that reprove in the gates an offence, because they have unjustly turned aside the righteous.
sila ki pou valè a yon sèl pawòl, rele moun nan tribinal la, epi fè pyèj pou sila ki korije moun nan pòtay la, e ak fwod, rache dwa inosan an ak fo temwayaj.
22 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he set apart from Abraam, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall he now change countenance.
Akoz sa a, SENYÈ a ki te rachte Abraham nan, di konsènan lakay Jacob: “Jacob p ap ankò vin wont, ni figi li vin pal.
23 But when their children shall have seen my works, they shall sanctify my name for my sake, and they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Men lè li wè pitit li yo, zèv men Mwen yo nan mitan li, yo va sanktifye non Mwen. Anverite, yo va sanktifye non a Sila Ki Sen a Jacob la, e va kanpe byen etone devan Bondye Israël la.
24 And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
Anplis, sila ki fè tò nan panse yo, va konnen verite a, e sila ki kritike yo va resevwa enstriksyon.”
