2 Wa 19
1 Lè wa Ezekyas tande pawòl sa yo, li chire rad sou li tèlman sa te fè l' lapenn, li mete yon rad sak sou li, epi l' al nan tanp Seyè a.
And it cometh to pass, at king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
2 Li voye Elyakim, chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, ak Chebna, sekretè a, ansanm ak chèf prèt yo, bò kote pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Yo tout te gen rad sak sou yo.
and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
3 Men mesaj Ezekyas te ba yo pou Ezayi: —Jodi a se jou malè pou nou! Bondye ap peni nou. Se yon wont pou nou. Nou tankou yon fanm ansent ki deja kase lèzo, men ki pa gen fòs pou li pouse pitit la soti.
and they say unto him, 'Thus said Hezekiah — A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bring forth.
4 Wa peyi Lasiri a te voye chèf gad palè li a manke Bondye vivan an dega. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, tande tout jouman sa yo. Se pou l' peni moun ki di pawòl sa yo. Ou menm, lapriyè pou rès moun pèp nou an ki vivan toujou.
'It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'
5 Lè moun wa Ezekyas yo al jwenn Ezayi,
And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
6 men repons Ezayi ba yo pou wa Ezekyas: —Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou pa bezwen pè tout pawòl ou tande yo, tout jouman moun wa Lasiri yo di sou mwen.
and Isaiah saith to them, 'Thus do ye say unto your lord: Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
7 Mwen pral fè wa Lasiri a tande yon sèl nouvèl, li pral kouri tounen nan peyi l'. Rive li rive, m'ap fè yon moun touye l'.
Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.'
8 Chèf gad palè a te vin konnen wa Lasiri a te pati kite Lakis pou l' t al atake lavil Libna. Se la l' al jwenn wa a,
And the chief of the butlers turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.
9 paske wa a te pran nouvèl Tiraka, wa peyi Letiopi a, t'ap moute vin atake l'. Wa a voye lòt mesaje ankò bò kote Ezekyas.
And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, 'Lo, he hath come out to fight with thee;' and he turneth and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 Li di yo: —Men mesaj n'a bay Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pou mwen. Ou mèt tande Bondye ou la, Bondye ou fè konfyans la, di ou Jerizalèm p'ap tonbe nan men wa Lasiri a, pa kite l' twonpe ou.
'Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Ou te pran nouvèl sa wa Lasiri yo te fè tout lòt peyi anvan ou yo. Yo te soti pou detwi yo nèt. Atò, se ou menm ki pou ta chape anba men m!
Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them; and thou art delivered!
12 Lè zansèt mwen yo te touye dènye moun nan lavil Gozan, nan lavil Aran, nan lavil Rezèf ak dènye moun Betedenn yo ki rete lavil Telasa, èske bondye nasyon sa yo te delivre yo?
did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed — Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?
13 Kote wa lavil Amak la, wa lavil Apad la, wa lavil Sefarayim lan, wa lavil Ena a ak wa lavil Iva a?
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'
14 Ezekyas pran lèt la nan men mesaje yo, li li l'. Apre sa, li pati al nan tanp lan, li mete lèt la devan lotèl Seyè a.
And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
15 Epi li lapriyè Seyè a, li di l' konsa: —Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm ki chita sou fotèy zanj cheriben yo ap pote sou zepòl yo a, se ou menm sèl Bondye k'ap gouvènen tout peyi sou latè. Se ou menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
And Hezekiah prayeth before Jehovah, and saith, 'O Jehovah, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
16 Panche zòrèy ou non, Seyè, pou ou tande. Louvri je ou pou ou wè. Koute pawòl Senakerib voye di m', pawòl ki manke Bondye vivan an dega!
Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes, and see; and hear Thou the words of Sennacherib with which he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 Nou konnen, Seyè, wa peyi Lasiri yo te fini ak anpil nasyon, yo te detwi peyi yo.
'Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations, and their land,
18 Yo te boule tout bondye yo paske se pa t' bondye yo te ye. Se estati fèt an bwa ak an wòch moun te fè ak men yo. Se poutèt sa yo te rive detwi yo.
and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
19 Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, tanpri, delivre nou anba men Senakerib, pou tout nasyon ki sou latè ka konnen se ou menm sèl, Seyè, ki Bondye.
And now, O Jehovah our God, save us, we pray Thee, out of his hand, and know do all kingdoms of the earth that Thou [art] Jehovah God — Thyself alone.'
20 Lè sa a, Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, voye mesaj sa a bay Ezekyas: —Ou te lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a. Men repons li voye ba ou.
And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard:
21 Men pawòl Seyè a di sou Senakerib: Lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an ap ri ou, l'ap pase ou nan rizib. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rele chalbari dèyè ou.
this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: 'Trampled on thee — laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion Behind thee shaken the head — Hath the daughter of Jerusalem?
22 Ki moun ou konprann ou derespekte, ou joure konsa? Sou ki moun ou pale fò konsa? Ki moun w'ap klere je ou gade konsa? Se sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes — Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Ou voye moun ou yo vin manke Bondye dega. Ou deklare: O wi, avèk tout kalite cha lagè m' yo, mwen moute sou tèt tout mòn, ata sou tèt mòn Liban an. Mwen koupe pi gwo pye sèd li yo, pi bèl pye rezen li yo. Mwen rive jouk anwo nèt sou tèt li, nan mitan rakbwa li yo ki tankou bèl jaden.
By the hand of thy messengers Thou hast reproached the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains — The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
24 Mwen fouye pi nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen bwè dlo. Mwen cheche dlo nan tout larivyè Lejip yo pou sòlda mwen yo pase san pye yo pa mouye.
I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
25 Ou pa t' konnen gen lontan depi mwen te fè lide pou tou sa te rive? Gen lontan depi sa te nan tèt mwen? Koulye a, mwen kite sa rive, pou m' te ka kraze tout lavil ak ranpa yo pou fè yo tounen yon pil demoli.
Hast thou not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becometh a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fenced cities,
26 Moun ki te rete la te san fòs. Yo te pè, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo fè. Yo te tankou raje nan jaden, tankou zèb gazon, tankou raje k'ap pouse sou do kay, tankou pye mayi ki cheche anvan li mete zepi.
And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn — before it hath risen up!
27 Mwen konnen lè ou leve, mwen konnen lè ou chita. Mwen konnen lè ou soti, mwen konnen lè ou antre. Mwen pran nouvèl jan ou fin anraje sou mwen.
And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thine anger towards Me;
28 Koulye a, mwen vin konnen jan ou move sou mwen, jan ou vin awogan. Se poutèt sa, mwen mete yon fè won nan bwa nen ou, ak yon mò nan bouch ou. Mwen pral fè ou pran menm chimen ou te pran pou vini an pou ou tounen.
Because of thine anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And have caused thee to turn back, In the way in which thou camest.
29 Apre sa, Izayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: —Men sa ki pral sèvi yon siy pou ou. Lanne sa a, n'a manje rès grenn ki te tonbe atè. Lanne k'ap vin apre sa a, n'a manje grenn nou pa t' plante. Men, apre sa ankò, n'a ka plante, n'a ka fè rekòt. N'a plante pye rezen, n'a manje rezen.
And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
30 Rès moun peyi Jida ki va chape yo va pran pye. Y'a kanpe ankò.
And it hath continued — The escaped of the house of Judah That hath been left — to take root beneath, And hath made fruit upward.
31 Va gen yon ti rès moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak sou mòn Siyon an ki va chape. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè sa, paske li renmen ou anpil.
For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah [of Hosts] doth this.
32 Men sa Seyè a di sou wa peyi Lasiri a: Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Li p'ap gen tan voye yon sèl grenn flèch sou li. P'ap gen yon sèl sòlda ak plak pwotèj k'ap pwoche bò kote l'. Ni yo p'ap fouye twou pou sènen l'.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
33 Chemen li te pran pou l' vini an, se li menm l'ap pran pou l' tounen. Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a menm, ki di sa.
In the way that he cometh in — In it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah —
34 M'ap pwoteje lavil sa a. M'ap delivre l' pou m' fè respè tèt mwen, pou m' kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, sèvitè m' lan.
And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'
35 Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, zanj Seyè a al nan kan moun Lasiri yo, li touye sankatrevensenk mil (185.000) sòlda. Nan maten, lè moun leve se kadav yo ase yo jwenn. Yo tout te mouri.
And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.
36 Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, leve, li pati, li tounen lavil Neniv.
And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh;
37 Yon jou, antan wa a t'ap fè sèvis nan tanp Niswòk, bondye li a, de nan pitit gason l' yo touye l' ak nepe yo, epi yo kouri al kache nan peyi Arara. Yo te rele Adramelèk ak Sarezè. Se yon lòt nan pitit gason li yo ki te rele Asaradon ki moute wa nan plas li.
and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar [his sons] have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
