Ezayi 14

1 Wi, kè Seyè a pral fè l' mal pou fanmi Jakòb la. L'ap chwazi pèp Izrayèl la ankò pou pèp pa li. L'ap kite yo rete nan peyi ki pou yo a. Moun lòt nasyon va vin jwenn yo, y'a rete viv ansanm ak moun fanmi Jakòb yo.

Her time is near at hand, and her days shall not be prolonged. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose out of Israel, and will make them rest upon their own ground: and the stranger shall be joined with them, and shall adhere to the house of Jacob.

2 Anpil lòt nasyon va ede yo tounen nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm va pran yo ak yo nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Y'a fè yo sèvi domestik ak sèvant. Moun ki te fè pèp la prizonye, se yo ki pral tounen prizonye pèp la. Pèp Izrayèl la pral donminen sou moun ki t'ap peze yo anba pye yo.

And the people shall take them, and bring them into their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall make them captives that had taken them, and shall subdue their oppressors.

3 Seyè a va fè nou jwenn repo apre tout tray, tout tribilasyon ak tout mizè yo te fè nou pase.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that when God shall give thee rest from thy labour, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage, wherewith thou didst serve before,

4 Lè sa a, n'a chante pou nou pase wa lavil Babilòn lan nan betiz, n'a di: Gade ki jan moun ki t'ap maltrete nou an disparèt! Gade ki jan yo desann kòlèt li non!

Thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and shalt say: How is the oppressor come to nothing, the tribute hath ceased?

5 Seyè a kase baton mechan yo. Li kase kokomakak chèf ki t'ap maltrete nou an!

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,

6 Lè yo move, yo te konn woule pèp la anba kou. Lè yo ankòlè, yo te konn kraze pèp la anba pye yo, yo pa t' ba yo souf.

That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.

7 Koulye a, tout moun sou latè ap pran souf. Y'ap viv ak kè poze. Toupatou se chante, se kè kontan.

The whole earth is quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.

8 Pye pichpen ak pye sèd peyi Liban yo kontan sa ki rive wa a. Y'ap di: Depi li tonbe a, pesonn pa moute vin mete rach nan dèyè nou ankò.

The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.

9 Peyi kote mò yo ye a tèt anba pou resevwa ou. Nanm tout moun ki te gwo chèf sou latè ap souke kò yo pou ou. Nanm tout wa yo ap leve kanpe sot sou fotèy yo. (Sheol h7585)

Hell below was in an uproar to meet thee at thy coming, it stirred up the giants for thee. All the princes of the earth are risen up from their thrones, all the princes of nations. (Sheol h7585)

10 Yo tout pran pale, y'ap di: Gade! Yo desann ou jan ou te desann nou an. Ou tounen tankou nou.

All shall answer, and say to thee: Thou also art wounded as well as we, thou art become like unto us.

11 Jan yo te konn fè lwanj ou ak bèl mizik dous sou gita! Koulye a, men ou nan peyi mò yo. Ou kouche sou yon kabann plen vèmen. Vè kouvri tout kò ou. (Sheol h7585)

Thy pride is brought down to hell, thy carcass is fallen down: under thee shall the moth be strewed, and worms shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)

12 Manyè di nou non, ou menm ki te klere tankou zetwal bajou a, ki jan ou fè tonbe sot nan syèl la? Ou menm ki te konn mache ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye ou, ki jan yo fè jete ou plat atè konsa?

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?

13 Ou t'ap di nan kè ou: M'ap moute rive jouk nan syèl la. Mwen pral mete fotèy mwen pi wo pase zetwal Bondye yo. Mwen pral chita tankou yon wa nan nò sou tèt mòn Randevou a.

And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant, in the sides of the north.

14 Mwen pral moute sou tèt nwaj yo. M'ap tankou Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.

I will ascend above the height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.

15 Men koulye a, yo desann ou nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, jouk anba nan twou san fon an! (Sheol h7585)

But yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, into the depth of the pit. (Sheol h7585)

16 Mò ki wè ou yo ap fikse je yo sou ou. Y'ap gade ou, y'ap di: Se pa moun ki te konn fè tè a tranble a sa? Se pa li ki te konn fè chèf yo tranble a sa?

They that shall see thee, shall turn toward thee, and behold thee. Is this the man that troubled the earth, that shook kingdoms,

17 Se pa li ki te kraze tout lavil yo, ki te fè latè tounen yon dezè a sa? Se pa li ki pa t' janm kite moun li fè prizonye tounen lakay yo a sa?

That made the world a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof, that opened not the prison to his prisoners?

18 Tout wa latè yo kouche nan bèl kavo yo, yon kavo pou yo chak.

All the kings of the nations have all of them slept in glory, every one in his own house.

19 Men, ou menm, ou pa menm gen yon tonm. Yo kite kadav ou ap trennen tankou kadav chen nan granchemen. L'ap pouri nan mitan kadav sòlda yo touye nan lagè, yo jete l' ansanm ak lòt kadav yo nan yon twou wòch, yo pilonnen l' anba pye yo.

But thou art cast out of thy grave, as an unprofitable branch defiled, and wrapped up among them that were slain by the sword, and art gone down to the bottom of the pit, as a rotten carcass.

20 Yo p'ap antere ou jan yo fè l' pou lòt wa yo, paske ou te fini ak peyi ou la, ou te touye pèp ou a. Yo p'ap janm chonje non fanmi lwijanboje sa yo!

Thou shalt not keep company with them, even in burial: for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people: the seed of the wicked shall not be named for ever.

21 Pare pou nou masakre tout pitit wa yo poutèt mechanste papa yo te fè! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape pou yo pa janm vin chèf, pou yo pa janm mache bati lavil toupatou sou latè ankò.

Prepare his children for slaughter for the iniquity of their fathers: they shall not rise up, nor inherit the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

22 Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di konsa: -Mwen pral leve dèyè yo. Mwen pral disparèt lavil Babilòn. Mwen p'ap kite anyen, ni non l', ni moun li yo, tout ras yo, tout pitit yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remains, and the bud, and the offspring, saith the Lord.

23 M'ap fè lavil Babilòn tounen yon marekay. Se zagoudi ase k'ap rete la. Mwen pral bale sa byen bale. M' p'ap kite anyen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki pale.

And I will make it a possession for the ericius and pools of waters, and I will sweep it and wear it out with a besom, saith the Lord of hosts.

24 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Sa se sèten. Sa m' te fè lide fè a, m'ap fè l'. Sa m' te deside fè a ap rive vre.

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it be: and as I have purposed,

25 M'ap kraze lame wa Lasiri a nan peyi mwen an. M'ap pilonnen l' anba pye m' sou mòn mwen yo. M'ap wete pye l' sou kou pèp mwen an, m'ap wete chay li te mete sou zepòl yo a.

So shall it fall out: That I will destroy the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: and his yoke shall be taken away from them, and his burden shall be taken off their shoulder.

26 Men sa mwen fè lide fè pou latè. Mwen pral leve men m' pou m' pini tout nasyon yo.

This is the counsel, that I have purposed upon all the earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.

27 Depi Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fin pran yon desizyon, pa gen moun ki ka enpoze l' fè sa li vle fè a. Li fin lonje men l' pou l' pini, pa gen moun ki ka rete l'.

For the Lord of hosts hath decreed, and who can disannul it? and his hand is stretched out: and who shall turn it away?

28 Lanne wa Akaz te mouri a, men mesaj Bondye te bay lè sa a:

In the year that king Achaz died, was this burden:

29 -Nou menm, moun peyi Filisti yo, baton ki t'ap bat nou an kase. Men, nou pa bezwen kontan pou sa. Paske, lè yon sèpan mouri gen yon lòt ki pi mechan pase l' k'ap pran plas li. L'ap kale yon dragon ki gen zèl.

Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia, that the rod of him that struck thee is broken in pieces: for out of the root of the serpent shall come forth a basilisk, and his seed shall swallow the bird.

30 Seyè a va tounen yon gadò pou pòv malere ki nan peyi a. L'a fè yo manje, l'a ba yo kote pou yo rete san yo pa bezwen pè ankenn danje. Men, m'ap voye yon sèl grangou sou ras moun Filisti yo, yo yonn p'ap chape.

And the firstborn of the poor shall be fed, and the poor shall rest with confidence: and I will make thy root perish with famine, and I will kill thy remnant.

31 Nou menm k'ap veye pòtay lavil moun Filisti yo, nou mèt plenn kont kò nou! Nou menm ki rete anndan lavil yo, nou mèt pouse kont rèl nou. Nou tout moun peyi Filisti yo, nou mèt tranble nan tout kò nou. Yon nwaj nwa ap vini soti nan nò. Se yon gwo lame. Pa gen yonn nan sòlda li yo k'ap fè kazwèl!

Howl, O gate; cry, O city: all Philistia is thrown down: for a smoke shall come from the north, and there is none that shall escape his troop.

32 Kisa n'a reponn mesaje moun peyi Filisti yo va voye kote nou an? N'a di yo se Seyè a menm ki mete peyi Siyon an kanpe ankò pou tout bon. Se la tout pèp li a, pèp ki t'ap soufri a, va vin jwenn pwoteksyon.

And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nations? That the Lord hath founded Sion, and the poor of his people shall hope in him.
