Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you who destroy, but you were not destroyed, and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
Malè a ou menm, O ou ki detwi lòt pandan ou pa t detwi; epi sila ki fè trèt pandan lòt moun pa t aji an trèt avè w. Depi ou fin detwi, ou osi va vin detwi nèt. Depi ou fin fè trèt, lòt moun va fè trèt kont ou.
2 LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
O SENYÈ, fè nou gras. Nou t ap tann Ou. Sèvi kon fòs pa nou chak maten, delivrans pa nou nan tan gwo twoub.
3 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
Lè bri zen an vin leve, pèp yo sove ale. Lè Ou fè leve Ou menm, nasyon yo gaye.
4 Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
Piyaj pa W va ranmase tankou cheni ranmase. Tankou krikèt volan konn vòltije, se konsa y ap vòltije sou li.
5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
SENYÈ a leve wo, paske se anwo ke Li rete. Li te ranpli Sion ak jistis ak ladwati.
6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
Se Li k ap fè tan pa nou estab, richès a delivrans, sajès ak konesans. Lakrent SENYÈ a se trezò ou.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Gade byen, mesye pwisan pa yo, kriye nan lari, anbasadè lapè yo kriye fò.
8 The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He does not respect man.
Gran chemen yo rete vid. Moun ki vwayaje yo sispann. Li te kase akò a. Li te meprize vil yo. Li pa respekte pèsòn.
9 The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
Peyi a kriye ak doulè, ak kè fennen. Liban vin wont e tanme disparèt. Saron vin tankou yon dezè e Basan ak Carmel pèdi tout fèyaj.
10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
“Koulye a, Mwen va leve”, SENYÈ a di: “Koulye a Mwen va egzalte. Koulye a Mwen va leve wo.
11 You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
Nou te ansent pay, e nou va akouche pay. Souf Mwen va manje nou tankou dife.
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
Pèp yo va brile kon lacho, tankou pikan koupe ki fin brile nan dife a.”
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
“Nou menm ki lwen yo, koute sa ke M te fè a; epi nou menm ki toupre, rekonèt pwisans Mwen.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
Pechè Sion yo vin sezi ak laperèz; tranbleman fin sezi enkwayan yo. Se kilès pami nou ki ka viv ak yon dife ki manje tout bagay? “Se kilès nan nou ki ka viv ak dife k ap brile tou tan an?”
15 He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
Sila ki mache nan ladwati a e ki pale ak kè sensè a? Sila ki refize benefis lajan ki sòti nan enjistis la, e ki souke men l pou sa ki vèse anba tab pa rete nan yo; sila ki bouche zòrèy li pou l pa menm tande afè vèse san, e ki fèmen zye l pou l pa gade mal.
16 he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
Li va demere nan wotè yo; pwotèj pa li va nan wòch solid ke lènmi yo pa ka pwoche. Pen li va vèse bay li, e dlo li va asire.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
Zye nou va wè Wa a nan tout bèlte Li. Yo va wè yon peyi ki byen lwen.
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
Kè ou va medite sou gwo laperèz la. “Kote sila ki te konte a? Kote sila ki te peze a? Kote sila ki te konte fò yo?”
19 You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you cannot comprehend, with a strange language that you cannot understand.
Ou p ap ankò wè yon pèp fewòs, yon pèp ak langaj dwòl ke ou pa konprann, a lang bege ke pèsòn pa konprann.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that will not be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
Gade sou Sion, gran vil a gwo fèt dezinye yo. Zye ou va wè Jérusalem, yon abitasyon san twoub, yon tant ki p ap bezwen pliye. Pikèt li p ap janm rache, ni kòd li yo p ap chire.
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
Men la, SENYÈ va avèk nou nan majeste, yon kote ak rivyè ak gwo kanal, sou sila gwo kannòt ak anpil zaviwon p ap janm pase, ni gwo bato p ap janm pase la.
22 For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will save us.
Paske SENYÈ a se jij nou. Se SENYÈ a ki bay lwa nou yo. Se SENYÈ a ki wa nou. Se Li menm ki va sove nou.
23 Your rigging is untied. They could not strengthen the foot of their mast. They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
Kòd vwal nou yo vin lach. Yo p at ka soutini baz ma bato a byen, ni kenbe vwal la gran ouvri. Alò, piyaj la a gwo boutin nan te divize. Sila ki bwate a te pran piyaj la.
24 The inhabitant will not say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
Pèp peyi a pa p di: “Mwen malad”. Moun ki rete la yo va padone pou inikite yo.
