Isaiah 36
1 Nowe in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against al the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
Alò, nan katòzyèm ane a Wa Ézéchias la, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont tout vil ranfòse Juda yo e te sezi yo.
2 And the King of Asshur sent Rabshakeh from Lachish toward Ierusalem vnto King Hezekiah, with a great hoste, and he stood by ye conduite of the vpper poole in the path of the fullers fielde.
Konsa, wa Assyrie a te voye Rabschaké sòti Lakis nan Jérusalem vè wa Ézéchias avèk yon gwo lame. Li te kanpe kote kanal la sou gran chemen a ki rele Chan Foule a.
3 Then came foorth vnto him Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceler, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay wa a, Schebna, grefye a ak Joach, fis a Asaph la, grefye achiv la, te sòti vin kote l.
4 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell you Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus sayth the great King, the King of Asshur, What confidence is this, wherein thou trustest?
Rabschaké te di yo: “Pale koulye a a Ézéchias; ‘Se konsa gran wa a, wa Assyrie a pale: “Ki konfyans sa ou genyen an?
5 I say, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre: on whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Mwen di ou ke Konsèy nou ak fòs pou fè lagè nou pa plis pase pawòl vid. Alò, de kilès nou va depann lè nou fè rebelyon kont mwen an?
6 Loe, thou trustest in this broken staffe of reede on Egypt, whereupon if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh King of Egypt, vnto all that trust in him.
Gade byen, ou depann de baton a wozo kraze sila a. Égypte menm. Men si yon nonm apiye kote li, baton li an ap antre nan men l e frennen l nèt. Se konsa Farawon, wa Égypte la ye pou tout sila ki depann de li yo.
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God. Is not that he, whose hie places and whose altars Hezekiah tooke downe, and said to Iudah and to Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Men si ou di m: ‘Nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an’, èske se pa wo plas ak lotèl a Li menm yo ke Ézéchias te retire e te di Juda ak Jérusalem: ‘Ou va adore isit la devan lotèl sila a’?
8 Nowe therefore giue hostages to my lorde the King of Asshur, and I wil giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders vpon them.
Alò, pou rezon sa a, vin fè yon antant ak mèt mwen an, wa Assyrie a, e mwen va bannou de-mil cheval, si nou ka jwenn chevalye kont pou mete sou yo.
9 For howe canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my lordes seruants? and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and for horsemen?
Kijan, alò, nou ka refize menm youn nan pi piti ofisye a mèt mwen yo pou depann de Égypte pou cha ak chevalye?
10 And am I now come vp without the Lord to this land to destroy it? The Lord sayd vnto me, Goe vp against this land and destroy it.
Èske konsa, mwen te monte san pèmisyon SENYÈ a, kont peyi sa a pou detwi l? SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ale monte kont peyi sa a pou detwi l.”’”
11 Then sayd Eliakim and Shebna and Ioah vnto Rabshakeh, Speake, I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, (for we vnderstand it) and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
Epi Éliakim, Schebna ak Joach te di a Rabschaké: “Alò, pale ak sèvitè ou yo an Arameyen, paske nou konprann li. Pa pale ak nou an Jideyen nan zòrèy a moun ki sou miray yo.”
12 Then said Rabshakeh, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee to speake these wordes, and not to the men that sit on the wall? that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
Men Rabschaké te di: “Èske mèt mwen an te voye m sèlman a mèt nou ak nou menm pou pale pawòl sa yo, e pa a moun sila yo ki chita sou miray la, ki va oblije manje pwòp poupou yo e bwè dlo pipi yo ansanm avèk nou?”
13 So Rabshakeh stood, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and sayd, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the King of Asshur.
Konsa Rabschaké te kanpe e te kriye ak yon gwo vwa an Jideyen. Li te di: “Tande pawòl a gran wa a, wa Assyrie a.
14 Thus saith the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you.
Konsa pale wa a: ‘Pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, paske li p ap ka delivre nou!
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs: this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the King of Asshur.
Ni pa kite Ézéchias fè nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, oswa di nou: “Anverite SENYÈ a va delivre nou, vil sa a p ap bay nan men a wa Assyrie a.”’
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus sayth the King of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne fig tree, and drinke euery man the water of his owne well,
Pa koute Ézéchias, paske konsa pale wa Assyrie a: ‘Fè lapè ak mwen, vin jwenn mwen, chak moun va manje nan pwòp chan rezen pa li, chak moun nan pwòp pye fig pa li, e chak moun va bwè dlo nan pwòp sitèn pa li,
17 Till I come and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate, and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes,
jiskaske m vin mennen nou ale nan yon peyi tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi ak anpil sereyal ak diven nèf, yon peyi ak pen ak chan rezen.
18 Least Hezekiah deceiue you, saying, The Lord wil deliuer vs. Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his land out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
Veye pou Ézéchias pa egare nou e di nou: “SENYÈ a va delivre nou”. Èske youn nan dye a nasyon yo te delivre tè li a anba men a wa Assyrie la?
19 Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? or howe haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
Kote dye a Hamath ak Arpad yo? Kote dye a Sepharvaïm yo? Epi kilè yo te delivre Samarie nan men m?”
20 Who is hee among all the gods of these lands, that hath deliuered their countrey out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
Se kilès pami tout dye peyi sila yo ki te delivre peyi pa yo nan men m, pou SENYÈ a ta delivre Jérusalem nan soti men m?’”
21 Then they kept silence, and answered him not a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere him not.
Men yo te pe la e pa t di l yon mo, paske lòd a wa a se te: “Pa reponn li”.
22 Then came Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder, vnto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay la, Schebna, sekretè a ak Joach, fis a Asaph, achivist la, te rive kote Ézéchias ak rad yo chire, e te di li pawòl a Rabschaké yo.
