Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?
Pwofesi konsènan vale a vizyon an. Sa k pase nou koulye a, ke nou tout monte sou twati kay yo?
2 O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.
Nou menm ki te plen ak gwo bri, nou menm vil plen ak zen. Mò pa nou yo pa t mouri akoz nepe, ni yo pa t mouri nan batay la.
3 All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.
Tout chèf nou yo te kouri ale ansanm e te kaptire san sèvi ak banza yo. Nou tout ke yo te twouve yo te kaptire ansanm, malgre yo te sove ale rive byen lwen.
4 Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Akoz sa, mwen di nou: “Tounen zye nou byen lwen m; kite mwen kriye byen fò, pa eseye rekonfòte m pou destriksyon a fi a pèp mwen an.”
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.
Paske Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te fè yon jou panik opresyon ak konfizyon nan vale vizyon an, miray ki kraze ak kriye nan mòn lan.
6 And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Élam te leve fouwo flèch yo, cha yo, sòlda sou pa yo ak chevalye yo; epi Kir te dekouvri boukliye a.
7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
Vale pi bèl nou yo te vin plen ak cha e chevalye yo te pran pozisyon yo nan pòtay la.
8 And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
Epi li te retire defans Juda. Nan jou sa a, nou te depann de zam a kay forè yo.
9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,
Nou te wè ke brèch nan miray vil a David yo te anpil; epi nou te fè koleksyon dlo nan etan dlo pi ba a.
10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.
Konsa nou te konte kay Jérusalem e nou te detwi kay yo pou ranfòse miray la.
11 Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.
Nou te fè yon rezèvwa antre de miray yo pou dlo a ansyen etan dlo a. Men nou pa t depann sou Li ki te fè l, ni ou pa t fè konsiderasyon de Li ki te fè plan an depi tan ansyen nan.
12 And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
Akoz sa, nan jou ke Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te rele nou pou kriye ak gwo plenyen yo, pou pase razwa nan tèt ak mete twal sak yo.
13 And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
Men olye sa, nou fè gwo fèt ak kè kontan, touye bèf, kòche mouton, manje vyann ak bwè diven: “Kite nou fè fèt; paske demen nou va mouri.”
14 And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Men SENYÈ dèzame yo te revele Li menm nan zore m yo: “Anverite, nou p ap padone pou krim sa a jiskaske nou mouri”, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.
15 Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
Se konsa, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo: “Vini, ale kote jeran sila a, kote Schebna ki se chèf an tèt anndan kay wa a.
16 What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!
‘Ki dwa ou gen isit la e se kilès ou gen isit la ki fè w fouye yon tonm pou ou menm isit la?’ Ou menm ki fouye yon tonm sou gran wotè a, ki fouye yon plas repo nan wòch la?”
17 Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.
Gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou voye ou tèt devan. Li prèt pou sezi ou byen di,
18 He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.
epi fè ou woule fè yon bòl pou jete nan yon gwo peyi. La, ou va mouri e la, bèl cha ou yo ap ye; Ou menm ki se wont pou lakay mèt ou a.
19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.
M ap retire ou nan pozisyon ou e m ap rale ou desann soti nan wo plas ou.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.
Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va voye rele sèvitè Mwen an, Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a,
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Mwen va abiye l ak vètman pa w e tache sentiwon pa w, byen tache sou li. Mwen va fè l konfyans pou l pran otorite pa w la e li va vin yon papa a sila ki rete Jérusalem yo ak lakay Juda a.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Konsa, Mwen va mete kle lakay David la sou zepòl li. Lè l ouvri li, pèsòn p ap fèmen l e lè l fèmen l, pèsòn p ap ouvri li.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
Mwen va kondwi li antre tankou yon klou sou yon kote byen solid e li va devni yon twòn glwa pou lakay papa l.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.
Konsa, yo va kloue sou li tout glwa lakay papa l, desandan ak sila k ap vini yo, tout veso pi piti yo, soti nan bòl, jis rive nan bokal.
25 In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.
“Nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Klou ki kloue nan yon kote solid la, va rache tonbe. Epi chaj ki kenbe sou li a va koupe retire nèt; paske SENYÈ a te pale.”
