Kings IV 19
1 And it came to pass when king Ezekias heard it, that he tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth, an went into the house of the Lord.
Lè wa Ezekyas tande pawòl sa yo, li chire rad sou li tèlman sa te fè l' lapenn, li mete yon rad sak sou li, epi l' al nan tanp Seyè a.
2 And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the prophet the son of Amos.
Li voye Elyakim, chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, ak Chebna, sekretè a, ansanm ak chèf prèt yo, bò kote pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Yo tout te gen rad sak sou yo.
3 And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias, This day [is] a day of tribulation, and rebuke, and provocation: for the children are come to the travail-[pangs], but the mother has no strength.
Men mesaj Ezekyas te ba yo pou Ezayi: —Jodi a se jou malè pou nou! Bondye ap peni nou. Se yon wont pou nou. Nou tankou yon fanm ansent ki deja kase lèzo, men ki pa gen fòs pou li pouse pitit la soti.
4 Peradventure the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rapsakes, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God and to revile him with the words which the Lord your God has heard: and you shall offer [your] prayer for the remnant that is found.
Wa peyi Lasiri a te voye chèf gad palè li a manke Bondye vivan an dega. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, tande tout jouman sa yo. Se pou l' peni moun ki di pawòl sa yo. Ou menm, lapriyè pou rès moun pèp nou an ki vivan toujou.
5 So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.
Lè moun wa Ezekyas yo al jwenn Ezayi,
6 And Esaias said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which you have heard, wherewith the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed.
men repons Ezayi ba yo pou wa Ezekyas: —Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou pa bezwen pè tout pawòl ou tande yo, tout jouman moun wa Lasiri yo di sou mwen.
7 Behold, I send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land; and I will overthrow him with the sword in his own land.
Mwen pral fè wa Lasiri a tande yon sèl nouvèl, li pral kouri tounen nan peyi l'. Rive li rive, m'ap fè yon moun touye l'.
8 So Rapsakes returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Lobna: for he heard that he [had] departed from Lachis.
Chèf gad palè a te vin konnen wa Lasiri a te pati kite Lakis pou l' t al atake lavil Libna. Se la l' al jwenn wa a,
9 And he heard concerning Tharaca king of the Ethiopians, saying, Behold, he is come forth to fight with you: and he returned, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
paske wa a te pran nouvèl Tiraka, wa peyi Letiopi a, t'ap moute vin atake l'. Wa a voye lòt mesaje ankò bò kote Ezekyas.
10 Let not your God on whom you trust encourage you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
Li di yo: —Men mesaj n'a bay Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pou mwen. Ou mèt tande Bondye ou la, Bondye ou fè konfyans la, di ou Jerizalèm p'ap tonbe nan men wa Lasiri a, pa kite l' twonpe ou.
11 Behold, you have heard all that the kings of the Assyrians have done in all the lands, to waste them utterly: and shall you be delivered?
Ou te pran nouvèl sa wa Lasiri yo te fè tout lòt peyi anvan ou yo. Yo te soti pou detwi yo nèt. Atò, se ou menm ki pou ta chape anba men m!
12 Have the gods of the nations at all delivered them, whom my fathers destroyed; both Gozan, and Charran, and Raphis, and the sons of Edem who were in Thaesthen?
Lè zansèt mwen yo te touye dènye moun nan lavil Gozan, nan lavil Aran, nan lavil Rezèf ak dènye moun Betedenn yo ki rete lavil Telasa, èske bondye nasyon sa yo te delivre yo?
13 Where is the king of Haemath, and the king of Arphad? and where is the king of the city of Seppharvaim, of Ana, and Aba?
Kote wa lavil Amak la, wa lavil Apad la, wa lavil Sefarayim lan, wa lavil Ena a ak wa lavil Iva a?
14 And Ezekias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezekias spread it before the Lord,
Ezekyas pran lèt la nan men mesaje yo, li li l'. Apre sa, li pati al nan tanp lan, li mete lèt la devan lotèl Seyè a.
15 and said, O Lord God of Israel that dwell over the cherubs, you are the only god in all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
Epi li lapriyè Seyè a, li di l' konsa: —Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm ki chita sou fotèy zanj cheriben yo ap pote sou zepòl yo a, se ou menm sèl Bondye k'ap gouvènen tout peyi sou latè. Se ou menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
16 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear: open, Lord, your eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
Panche zòrèy ou non, Seyè, pou ou tande. Louvri je ou pou ou wè. Koute pawòl Senakerib voye di m', pawòl ki manke Bondye vivan an dega!
17 For truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have wasted the nations,
Nou konnen, Seyè, wa peyi Lasiri yo te fini ak anpil nasyon, yo te detwi peyi yo.
18 and have cast their gods into the fire: because they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
Yo te boule tout bondye yo paske se pa t' bondye yo te ye. Se estati fèt an bwa ak an wòch moun te fè ak men yo. Se poutèt sa yo te rive detwi yo.
19 And now, O Lord our God, deliver us out of his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that you alone [are] the Lord God.
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, tanpri, delivre nou anba men Senakerib, pou tout nasyon ki sou latè ka konnen se ou menm sèl, Seyè, ki Bondye.
20 And Esaias the son of Amos sent to Ezekias, saying, Thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, I have heard your prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
Lè sa a, Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, voye mesaj sa a bay Ezekyas: —Ou te lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a. Men repons li voye ba ou.
21 This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken against him; The virgin daughter of Sion has made light of you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Men pawòl Seyè a di sou Senakerib: Lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an ap ri ou, l'ap pase ou nan rizib. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rele chalbari dèyè ou.
22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you reviled? and against whom have you lifted up your voice, and raised your eyes on high? [Is it] against the Holy One of Israel?
Ki moun ou konprann ou derespekte, ou joure konsa? Sou ki moun ou pale fò konsa? Ki moun w'ap klere je ou gade konsa? Se sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
23 By your messengers you has reproached the Lord, and have said, I will go up with the multitude of my chariots, to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Libanus, and I have cut down the height of his cedar, [and] his choice cypresses; and I have come into the midst of the forest and of Carmel.
Ou voye moun ou yo vin manke Bondye dega. Ou deklare: O wi, avèk tout kalite cha lagè m' yo, mwen moute sou tèt tout mòn, ata sou tèt mòn Liban an. Mwen koupe pi gwo pye sèd li yo, pi bèl pye rezen li yo. Mwen rive jouk anwo nèt sou tèt li, nan mitan rakbwa li yo ki tankou bèl jaden.
24 I have refreshed [myself], and have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the sole of my foot all the rivers of fortified places.
Mwen fouye pi nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen bwè dlo. Mwen cheche dlo nan tout larivyè Lejip yo pou sòlda mwen yo pase san pye yo pa mouye.
25 I have brought about [the matter], I have brought it to a conclusion; and it is come to the destruction of the bands of warlike prisoners, [even of] strong cities.
Ou pa t' konnen gen lontan depi mwen te fè lide pou tou sa te rive? Gen lontan depi sa te nan tèt mwen? Koulye a, mwen kite sa rive, pou m' te ka kraze tout lavil ak ranpa yo pou fè yo tounen yon pil demoli.
26 And they that lived in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became [as] grass of the field, or [as] the green herb, the grass [growing on] houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands [upon it].
Moun ki te rete la te san fòs. Yo te pè, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo fè. Yo te tankou raje nan jaden, tankou zèb gazon, tankou raje k'ap pouse sou do kay, tankou pye mayi ki cheche anvan li mete zepi.
27 But I know your down-sitting, and your going forth, and your rage against me.
Mwen konnen lè ou leve, mwen konnen lè ou chita. Mwen konnen lè ou soti, mwen konnen lè ou antre. Mwen pran nouvèl jan ou fin anraje sou mwen.
28 Because you was angry against me, and your fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in your nostrils, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
Koulye a, mwen vin konnen jan ou move sou mwen, jan ou vin awogan. Se poutèt sa, mwen mete yon fè won nan bwa nen ou, ak yon mò nan bouch ou. Mwen pral fè ou pran menm chimen ou te pran pou vini an pou ou tounen.
29 And this shall be a sign to you; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year [let there be] sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat you the fruit of them.
Apre sa, Izayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: —Men sa ki pral sèvi yon siy pou ou. Lanne sa a, n'a manje rès grenn ki te tonbe atè. Lanne k'ap vin apre sa a, n'a manje grenn nou pa t' plante. Men, apre sa ankò, n'a ka plante, n'a ka fè rekòt. N'a plante pye rezen, n'a manje rezen.
30 And he shall increase him that has escaped of the house of Juda: and the remnant [shall strike] root beneath, and it shall produce fruit above.
Rès moun peyi Jida ki va chape yo va pran pye. Y'a kanpe ankò.
31 For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and he that escapes from the mountain of Sion: the zeal of the Lord of host shall do this.
Va gen yon ti rès moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak sou mòn Siyon an ki va chape. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè sa, paske li renmen ou anpil.
32 [Is it] not so? Thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, neither shall a shield come against it, neither shall he heap a mound against it.
Men sa Seyè a di sou wa peyi Lasiri a: Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Li p'ap gen tan voye yon sèl grenn flèch sou li. P'ap gen yon sèl sòlda ak plak pwotèj k'ap pwoche bò kote l'. Ni yo p'ap fouye twou pou sènen l'.
33 By the way by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, says the Lord.
Chemen li te pran pou l' vini an, se li menm l'ap pran pou l' tounen. Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a menm, ki di sa.
34 And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
M'ap pwoteje lavil sa a. M'ap delivre l' pou m' fè respè tèt mwen, pou m' kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, sèvitè m' lan.
35 And it came to pass at night that the angel of the Lord went forth, an struck in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they rose early in the morning, and, behold, [these were] all dead corpses.
Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, zanj Seyè a al nan kan moun Lasiri yo, li touye sankatrevensenk mil (185.000) sòlda. Nan maten, lè moun leve se kadav yo ase yo jwenn. Yo tout te mouri.
36 And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians departed, and went and returned, and lived in Nineve.
Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, leve, li pati, li tounen lavil Neniv.
37 And it came to pass, while he was worshipping in the house of Meserach his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons struck him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararath; and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
Yon jou, antan wa a t'ap fè sèvis nan tanp Niswòk, bondye li a, de nan pitit gason l' yo touye l' ak nepe yo, epi yo kouri al kache nan peyi Arara. Yo te rele Adramelèk ak Sarezè. Se yon lòt nan pitit gason li yo ki te rele Asaradon ki moute wa nan plas li.
