< Isaiah 19 >

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rides upon a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
Pwofesi konsènan Égypte la. “Gade byen, SENYÈ a monte sou yon nwaj rapid pou L rive Égypte. Zidòl Égypte yo va tranble nan prezans Li; kè Ejipsyen yo va fann anndan yo.
2 And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they shall fight each one against his brother, and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Pou sa, Mwen va eksite Ejipsyen vin kont Ejipsyen. Yo chak va goumen kont frè pa yo, e yo chak kont vwazen yo; vil kont vil e wayòm kont wayòm.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel of it. And they shall seek for the idols, and for the charmers, and for those who have familiar spirits, and for the wizards.
Konsa, lespri a Ejipsyen yo va vin twouble anndan yo, e Mwen va boulvèse tout plan yo. Konsa, yo va vire kote zidòl, fantom a mò yo, sila ki pale ak mò yo ak divinò yo.
4 And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. And a fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Anplis, Mwen va livre Ejipsyen yo nan men a yon mèt mechan. Yon gran wa pwisan va gouvène sou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.
Dlo lanmè yo va vin sèch e rivyè a va vin sèch san dlo.
6 And the rivers shall become foul. The streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags shall wither away.
Kanal yo va lage yon movèz odè. Rivyè Égypte yo va vin sèch e san dlo. Wozo ak zèb dlo yo va rete pouri.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
Gwo wozo a bò Rivyè Nil la, arebò Nil la ak tout chan ki fin plante akote Nil la va vin sèch, pouse ale, e p ap gen la ankò.
8 And the fishermen shall lament, and all those who cast a hook into the Nile shall mourn, and those who spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
Moun lapèch yo va plenyen; tout sila ki konn voye yon liy nan Nil la va lamante, e sila ki ouvri filè sou dlo yo va santi gwo pèt.
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, shall be confounded.
Anplis, sila k ap pwodwi twal len nan ki fèt ak len swa ak bòs twal blan yo va tris nèt.
10 And the pillars of Egypt shall be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire shall be grieved in soul.
Pilye a Égypte yo va kraze nèt; tout anplwaye yo va afilje nan nanm yo.
11 The rulers of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How will ye say to Pharaoh, I am the son of wise men, the son of ancient kings?
Prens a Tsoan yo pa plis ke moun fou. Konseye a pi saj Farawon yo vin bèt nèt. Kòman nou menm, mesye, nou ka di Farawon: “Mwen se fis a moun saj yo, fis a wa ansyen yo”?
12 Where then are thy wise men? And let them tell thee now, and let them know what Jehovah of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
Eh byen, kote moun saj ou yo? Souple, kite yo pale ak ou, e kite yo konprann sa ke SENYÈ dèzame yo te planifye pou fè kont Égypte.
13 The rulers of Zoan have become fools. The rulers of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, the chief of her tribes.
Prens a Tsoan yo te aji nan foli. Prens a Noph yo te byen tronpe. Sila ki ta ang prensipal a pèp li a fin mennen Égypte nan wout egare.
14 Jehovah has mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her, and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work of it, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
SENYÈ a te mele nan li yon lespri ki fè l toudi; yo mennen Égypte nan wout egare nan tout sa li fè, tankou moun sou k ap glise tonbe nan vomisman li.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
P ap gen travay pou Égypte; ni pou tèt li, ni pou ke li, branch palmis li, oswa sa ke wozo li yo ka fè.
16 In that day the Egyptians shall be like women, and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shakes over them.
Nan jou sa a, Ejipsyen yo va vin tankou fanm. Yo va tranble nan gwo laperèz akoz pase men ke SENYÈ a ap fè pase sou yo.
17 And the land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it shall be afraid because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposes against it.
Peyi Juda va devni yon gwo laperèz pou Égypte. Tout moun ki tande non li va gen gwo lakrent li akoz volonte a SENYÈ dèzame yo, ki poze kont yo.
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts. One shall be called The city of destruction.
Nan jou sa a, senk gwo vil peyi Égypte yo va pale langaj a Kanaraneyen yo, e yo va sèmante alyans ak SENYÈ dèzame yo. Youn nan yo va rele Vil Destriksyon an.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Jehovah at the border of it.
Nan jou sa a, va gen yon lotèl a SENYÈ a nan mitan peyi Égypte la, e yon pilye a SENYÈ a toupre fwontyè li a.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior, and a defender, and he will deliver them.
Li va vin fè yon sign ak yon temwen a SENYÈ dèzame yo nan peyi Égypte; paske yo va kriye a SENYÈ a akoz sila k ap oprime moun yo, e Li va voye ba yo yon sovè, yon defansè e Li va delivre yo.
21 And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day. Yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow to Jehovah, and shall perform it.
Konsa SENYÈ a va fè Égypte konnen Li. Konsa, Ejipsyen yo va konnen SENYÈ a nan jou sa a. Yo va anplis adore Li avèk sakrifis ak ofrann. Yo va fè yon ve a SENYÈ a, epi yo va akonpli li.
22 And Jehovah will smite Egypt, smiting and healing, and they shall return to Jehovah. And he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
SENYÈ a va frape Égypte; frape, men geri li. Yo va retounen kote SENYÈ, epi Li va reponn yo e geri yo.
23 In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
Nan jou sa a, va gen yon gran chemen soti an Égypte pou rive Assyrie. Asiryen yo va antre an Égypte, e Ejipsyen yo an Assyrie. Ejipsyen ak Asiryen yo va adore ansanm.
24 In that day Israel shall be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
Nan jou sa a, Israël va fè yon twazyèm nan, ansanm ak Égypte ak Assyrie, yon gran benediksyon nan mitan mond lan.
25 in that Jehovah of hosts has blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo ap beni yo e di: “Beni se Égypte, pèp Mwen an e Assyrie, zèv men Mwen an, ak Israël, eritaj Mwen an.”
