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.
For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, And will yet choose Israel, And will give them rest upon their own soil, —And the sojourner, shall join himself, unto them, And they shall attach themselves unto 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 peoples shall take them, and bring them into their own place, And the house of Israel shall possess themselves of them upon the soil of Yahweh for servants and for handmaids, —Thus shall they be taking captive their captors, And shall tread down 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 the day when Yahweh shall give thee rest from thy toil, and from thy disquiet, —and from the hard service which had been laid upon thee,
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!
that thou shalt take up this taunt over the king of Babylon, and shalt say: —How hath ceased the oppressor! Ceased the exactress!
5 Seyè a kase baton mechan yo. Li kase kokomakak chèf ki t'ap maltrete nou an!
Broke hath Yahweh the staff of the lawless, —The sceptre of despots;
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.
Smiting peoples in passion With stroke unremitting, —Trampling, in anger, on nations, Persecution unhindered.
7 Koulye a, tout moun sou latè ap pran souf. Y'ap viv ak kè poze. Toupatou se chante, se kè kontan.
Quiet, at rest, the whole earth, —Men have burst into shouting!
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.
Yea the pine-trees, make mirth at thee, Cedars of Lebanon, Since thou wast laid low, No feller hath come up against us!
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)
Hades beneath, is excited about thee To meet thine arrival, —Rousing up, for thee Shades, All the he-goats of earth! Maketh rise from their thrones, All the kings of the 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 of them, answer, and say to thee, —Thou too, made strengthless, as we! Unto us, art thou like!
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)
Brought down to Hades, thy pride. The hum of thy harps, Beneath thee, is spread out corruption, And, thy coverlet—worms! (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 hast thou fallen from heaven, O Shining One—Son of the Dawn! Hewn down to the earth, O crusher of 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.
Yet, thou, didst say in thy heart—The heavens, will I ascend, Above the stars of GOD, will I lift up my throne, —That I may sit in the Mount of Assembly In the Recesses of the North:
14 Mwen pral moute sou tèt nwaj yo. M'ap tankou Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
I will mount on the hills of the clouds, I will match 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)
Howbeit, to Hades, shalt thou be brought down, —To the Recesses 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 who see thee, upon thee, will gaze, Upon thee, will thoughtfully muse, —Is this the man who startled the earth? Who terrified 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?
Who made the world like a desert? And its cities, brake down? Its prisoners, he loosed not, Each one to his home?
18 Tout wa latè yo kouche nan bèl kavo yo, yon kavo pou yo chak.
All the kings of the nations—they all, are lying in state Each one in his crypt;
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 flung out from thy grave, Like a scion detested, Beshrouded with slain, the pierced of the sword, Like a carcase trod underfoot:
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!
As for them who go down to the stones of the Pit, Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; For thy land, thou didst ruin Thy people, didst slay, —Unnamed to times age-abiding, Be the seed of the wicked!
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—for his sons—shambles. For the iniquity of their fathers, —They shall not rise nor possess the earth, 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.
I will rise. Then. against them, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, —And will cut off from Babylon Record and remnant And scion and seed, Declareth Yahweh.
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 will make her a possession for the bittern, And marshes of water, —And will sweep it with the besom of destruction, Declareth Yahweh 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.
Yahweh of hosts, hath sworn, saying, —Surely as I intended, so, hath it come to pass, And as I purposed, the same, shall stand: —
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.
That I will break in pieces the Assyrian in my land, Yea upon my mountains, will I tread him underfoot, —So shall be removed from off them his yoke, And his burden, from off their shoulder shall be removed.
26 Men sa mwen fè lide fè pou latè. Mwen pral leve men m' pou m' pini tout nasyon yo.
This, is the purpose that is purposed upon all the earth, —And, this, the hand outstretched over all the 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, Yahweh of hosts, hath purposed, —And who shall frustrate? And, his, is the hand outstretched, And who shall turn it back?
28 Lanne wa Akaz te mouri a, men mesaj Bondye te bay lè sa a:
In the year that King Ahaz died, came this oracle: —
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.
Do not rejoice, Philistia, any of thee, In that the rod of him that smote thee, is broken, —For, out of the root of the serpent, shall come forth, a viper, And his fruit be a fiery dragon that flieth.
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.
Then shall feed the firstborn of the poor, And the needy, in confidence lie down, —And I will kill with famine thy root, And thy residue, shall be slain.
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, Make outcry—O city, Dispersed art thou Philistia, all of thee, —For out of the north, a smoke cometh in, With no straggler in his ranks.
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.
What, then, shall one answer the messengers of a nation? That Yahweh, hath founded Zion, And in her, shall seek refuge the oppressed of his people.
