Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and it will be like a heap of stones in ruin.
Pwofesi sou Damas. “Gade byen, Damas prèt pou retire nèt kon vil. Li va tonbe nèt an yon gwo pil mazi.
2 The cities in ruin will be left for the flocks, and they will take rest there, and there will be no one who may terrify them.
Vil Aroër yo ap abandone nèt. Y ap sèvi kon plas pou twoupo yo kouche. P ap gen pèsòn pou fè yo pè.
3 And assistance will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom will cease from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of hosts.
Vil fòtifye a va disparèt nan Éphraïm e wa Damas la ak retay Syrie. Yo va tankou laglwa a fis Israël yo,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
4 And this shall be in that day: the glory of Jacob will be thinned, and the fatness of his flesh will be reduced.
Alò, nan jou sa a, glwa Jacob la va febli nèt, e grès chè li va vin megri.
5 And it shall be like the gathering of the harvest which remains, and his arm will pick the ears of grain. And it shall be like a search for grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Li va tankou lè mwasonè sereyal la ap ranmase; lè bra li ap rekòlte tèt sereyal yo. Wi, tankou yon moun k ap ranmase tèt sereyal nan vale Rephaïm yo.
6 And what is left behind in it will be like one cluster of grapes, or like a shaken olive tree with two or three olives at the top of a branch, or like four or five olives at the top of a tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
Sepandan, kèk nan mwason an va rete tankou lè yo rekòlte bwa doliv. Y ap jwenn de oswa twa grenn sou branch piwo a, kat oswa senk nan bwa ki donnen pi byen yo, deklare SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
7 In that day, a man will bow before his Maker, and his eyes will consider the Holy One of Israel.
Nan jou sa a, lòm va gen respè pou Kreyatè li a e zye li va gade vè Sila Ki Sen An Israël la.
8 And he will not bow before the altars that his hands have made. And he will not consider the things that his fingers have made, the sacred groves and the shrines.
Yo p ap gade vè lotèl yo, zèv a men li yo, ni yo p ap okipe sa ke dwèt yo te fè; ni Asherim yo ni lanp lansan yo.
9 In that day, his strong cities will be abandoned, like the plows and the grain fields which were left behind before the face of the sons of Israel, and you shall be deserted.
Nan jou sa a, vil ranfòse yo va tankou kote abandone nan forè a; tankou branch ke yo te abandone devan fis Israël yo. Konsa, tè a va dezole.
10 For you have forgotten God your Savior, and you have not remembered your strong Helper. Because of this, you will plant trustworthy plants, but you will sow a foreign seed.
Paske nou te bliye Bondye a sali nou an, ni nou pa t sonje wòch ki se sekou nou an. Pou sa, nou plante bèl plant e plase yo pami boujon chan a dye etranje yo.
11 In the day of your planting, the wild grapevine and your morning seed will flourish. The harvest has been taken away to the day of inheritance, and you will grieve heavily.
Nan jou ke nou plante l la, nou fè bèl kloti pou li. Nan maten, nou fè jèm nan rive fè flè; men rekòlt la ap sove ale nan jou gwo maladi, nan jou doulè san rete a.
12 Woe to the multitude of many peoples, like the multitude of the roaring sea! Woe to the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters!
Sepandan, gwo zen a anpil nasyon ki gwonde tankou anpil dlo yo, e ki fè bri a anpil nasyon k ap kouri desann tankou gwo dlo pwisan!
13 The peoples will make a noise, like the noise of waters overflowing, but he will rebuke him, and so he will flee far away. And he will be quickly taken away, like the dust of the mountains before the face of the wind, and like a whirlwind before a tempest.
Nasyon yo fè gwo bri desann tankou gwonde a anpil dlo, men Li va repwoche yo e yo va kouri rive byen lwen, yo va chase tankou pay sou mòn devan van, oswa toubiyon van an fè avan gwo tanpèt.
14 In the time of the evening, behold: there will be a disturbance. When it is early morning, he will not remain. This is the portion of those who have devastated us, and this is the lot of those who have plundered us.
Nan aswè, gade, gwo laperèz! Avan maten, yo disparèt nèt. Se konsa pòsyon a sila k ap ranmase byen nou yo e tiraj osò a sila ki piyaje nou yo.
