< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the Lord wil haue compassion of Iaakob, and wil yet chuse Israel, and cause them to rest in their owne lande: and the stranger shall ioyne him selfe vnto them, and they shall cleaue to the house of Iaakob.
SENYÈ a va ankò gen konpasyon sou Jacob, pou l chwazi Israël ankò e fè yo rete nan pwòp peyi yo. Etranje yo va vin jwenn ak yo e atache yo menm a kay Jacob la.
2 And the people shall receiue them and bring them to their owne place, and the house of Israel shall possesse them in the land of the Lord, for seruants and handmaids: and they shall take them prisoners, whose captiues they were, and haue rule ouer their oppressours.
Yo va mennen yo fè yo vini nan plas yo, e lakay Israël va posede yo nan peyi SENYÈ a, kon sèvant ak sèvitè. Konsa, yo va pran sila ki te pran yo kaptif yo, yo va kaptire yo e vin mèt sou sila ki te oprime yo.
3 And in that day when the Lord shall giue thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy feare, and from the sore bodage, wherein thou didest serue,
Li va rive nan jou lè SENYÈ a ba ou repò sou doulè ou, twoub ou ak redi di nan sila ou te vin esklav la,
4 Then shalt thou take vp this prouerbe against the King of Babel, and say, Howe hath the oppressor ceased? and the gold thirsty Babel rested?
Ke ou va pran chante sa a kont wa Babylon nan epi di: “Gade kijan opresè a vin sispann! Gwo twoub la pa la ankò!”
5 The Lord hath broken the rodde of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers:
SENYÈ a fin kase baton a mechan an, baton a wa yo
6 Which smote the people in anger with a continuall plague, and ruled the nations in wrath: if any were persecuted, he did not let.
ki te konn frape pèp la ak gran kolè, ak kou san rete, ki te soumèt nasyon yo ak gwo kòlè ak gwo pèsekisyon san fren.
7 The whole worlde is at rest and is quiet: they sing for ioye.
Tout latè gen repo e rete kalm. Yo eklate ak chante kè kontan yo.
8 Also the firre trees reioyced of thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid downe, no hewer came vp against vs.
Menm bwa siprè yo rejwi sou ou e bwa sèd Liban yo ap di: “Paske ou te bese ou, pa gen moun ki koupe bwa k ap monte kont nou.
9 Hel beneath is mooued for thee to meete thee at thy comming, raising vp the deade for thee, euen all the princes of the earth, and hath raised from their thrones all the Kinges of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Sejou mò a depi anba, gen kè kontan sou ou, pou l ka rankontre ou lè ou vini. Li leve menm pou ou lespri mò yo, tout chèf sou tout latè yo. Li fè leve tout wa a tout nasyon yo soti nan twòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they shall crie, and saie vnto thee, Art thou become weake also as we? art thou become like vnto vs?
Yo tout va reponn epi mande ou: ‘Ou menm, èske ou vin fèb tankou nou? Èske ou vini tankou nou?’
11 Thy pompe is brought downe to ye graue, and the sounde of thy violes: the worme is spred vnder thee, and the wormes couer thee. (Sheol h7585)
Tout gwo bagay fèt ou ak mizik ap ou yo fin desann rive nan sejou mò yo. Se vè ki fè kabann anba ou e se vè k ap kouvri ou.” (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heauen, O Lucifer, sonne of the morning? and cutte downe to the grounde, which didest cast lottes vpon the nations?
Kòman ou te tonbe soti nan syèl la, O zetwal granmmaten an! Ou te koupe ra tè; ou menm ki te detwi tout nasyon yo!
13 Yet thou saidest in thine heart, I will ascende into heauen, and exalt my throne aboue beside the starres of God: I will sitte also vpon the mount of the Congregation in the sides of the North.
Men nan kè ou, ou te di: “Mwen va monte jis rive nan syèl la! Mwen va fè leve twòn mwen piwo zetwal Bondye yo! Mwen va chita sou mòn asanble a nan fon nò yo!
14 I wil ascend aboue ye height of the cloudes, and I will be like the most high.
Mwen va monte piwo nwaj yo! Mwen va fè mwen menm tankou Pi Wo a!”
15 But thou shalt bee brought downe to the graue, to the sides of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Sepandan, ou va pouse desann nan Sejou mò yo, kote fon a gwo fòs la ye a. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee, shall looke vpon thee and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, and that did shake the kingdomes?
Sila ki wè ou va fikse zye sou ou. Yo va reflechi sou ou pou di: “Èske se nonm sila a ki te fè tè a tranble a, ki te souke wayòm yo?
17 He made the worlde as a wildernesse, and destroied the cities thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners.
Ki te fè mond lan tankou yon dezè a, ki te boulvèse gwo vil li yo, ki te refize kite prizonye li yo ale lakay yo?”
18 All the Kings of the nations, euen they all sleepe in glorie, euery one in his owne house.
Tout wa sou latè yo kouche nan glwa yo, yo chak nan pwòp tonbo pa yo.
19 But thou art cast out of thy graue like an abominable branch: like the raiment of those that are slaine, and thrust thorowe with a sword, which goe downe to the stones of the pit, as a carkeise troden vnder feete.
Men ou menm, ou te jete deyò tonbo pa ou a, tankou yon branch rejte, abiye ak sila ki te touye yo, ki te pèse ak nepe yo, ki te desann kote wòch a fòs la tankou yon kadav, kraze foule ak pye.
20 Thou shalt not be ioyned with them in the graue, because thou hast destroied thine owne lande, and slaine thy people: the seede of the wicked shall not be renoumed for euer.
Ou p ap reyini ak yo nan antèman, akoz ou te detwi peyi ou a. Ou te touye pèp ou a. Konsa, non desandan a malfektè sila yo pa p nonmen jis pou tout tan!
21 Prepare a slaughter for his children, for the iniquitie of their fathers: let them not rise vp nor possesse the land, nor fil the face of the world with enemies.
Prepare pou fis li yo yon kote pou masak, akoz inikite a papa yo. Konsa pou yo pa leve pran posesyon latè e ranpli sifas mond lan ak gwo vil.
22 For I wil rise vp against them (sayth the Lord of hostes) and will cut off from Babel the name and the remnant and the sonne, and the nephew, sayth the Lord:
“Mwen va leve kont yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. “Mwen va koupe retire yo nèt de non Babylone ak desandan yo de sila ki fèt ak sila ki gen pou vini yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
23 And I wil make it a possession to ye hedgehogge, and pooles of water, and I will sweepe it with the besome of destruction, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
“Anplis, M ap fè l tounen yon marekaj pou kochon mawon yo. Mwen va bale li ak bale destriksyon an,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
24 The Lord of hostes hath sworne, saying, Surely like as I haue purposed, so shall it come to passe, and as I haue consulted, it shall stand:
SENYÈ dèzame yo fin sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, jan ke Mwen te fè plan an, se konsa li va rive! Jan ke M te planifye a, se konsa l ap kanpe!
25 That I will breake to pieces Asshur in my land, and vpon my mountaines will I treade him vnder foote: so that his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall be taken from off their shoulder.
Pou M kraze Assyrie nan peyi Mwen an e pou M foule li sou mòn Mwen yo. Konsa jouk li va retire sou yo e gwo chaj li va sòti sou zepòl yo.
26 This is the counsell that is consulted vpon the whole worlde, and this is the hande stretched out ouer all the nations,
Sa se plan a ki te fòme kont tout tè a. Sa se men ki lonje kont tout nasyon yo.
27 Because the Lord of hostes hath determined it, and who shall disanull it? and his hande is stretched out, and who shall turne it away?
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te fè yon plan e se kilès ki ka anpeche l? Epi pou men lonje pa l la, se kilès ki ka fè l fè bak?”
28 In the yeere that King Ahaz died, was this burden.
Nan ane Wa Achaz te mouri an, Pwofesi sa a te fèt:
29 Reioyce not, (thou whole Palestina) because the rod of him that did beat thee, is broken for out of the serpents roote shall come forth a cockatrise, and the fruit therof shalbe a firy flying serpent.
Pa rejwi, O Peyi Filisten yo, nou tout, akoz baton ki te konn frape ou a fin kase. Soti nan rasin sèpan an, yon vipè va vin parèt, k ap fè kon fwi, yon sèpan k ap vole.
30 For the first borne of the poore shall be fed, and the needie shall lie downe in safetie: and I will kill thy roote with famine, and it shall slay thy remnant.
Premyè nè malere a va manje byen, e endijan an va kouche ansekirite. Mwen va detwi rasin pa ou ak gwo grangou, e anplis l ap touye sila ki te chape yo.
31 Howle, O gate, crie, O citie: thou whole lande of Palestina art dissolued, for there shall come from the North a smoke, and none shalbe alone, at his time appointed.
Rele anmwey, O pòtay la! Kriye fò, O Gran Vil la! Fann nèt, O Filistia, nou tout! Paske lafimen ap sòti nan nò e nanpwen moun k ap fè reta. Lennmi a kwense nou nèt.
32 What shall then one answere the messengers of the Gentiles? That the Lord hath stablished Zion, and the poore of his people shall trust in it.
Alò, kòman yon moun ka reponn mesaje a nasyon yo? Ke se SENYÈ a ki te etabli Sion, e aflije a pèp Li yo va chache sekou nan li.
