Isaiah 29
1 Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year. Let the feasts come round.
Mwen wè malè pou lotèl Bondye a, lavil Jerizalèm! Mwen wè malè pou lavil kote David te moute kan li an. Kite ennan, dezan konsa pase, kite tout fèt yo fin pase,
2 Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and she shall be to me as Ariel.
Seyè a pral voye yon sèl lafliksyon sou lotèl Bondye a. Moun pral rele, yo pral plenn. Lavil la pral tounen yon lotèl Bondye tout bon kote y'ap ofri bèt yo touye pou li.
3 And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops. And I will raise siege works against thee.
Bondye pral atake lavil la tankou David te fè l' la. Li pral sènen l' ak sòlda. L'ap fèmen l' toupatou.
4 And thou shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of he who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Lavil Jerizalèm pral tankou yon moun anba tè k'ap pale. Pousyè tè ap toufe pawòl nan bouch li. Antan li anba tè a, l'ap pale tankou yon zonbi ak yon vwa nan nen tou fèb!
5 But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passes away. Yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.
Men, tout lènmi ou yo pral gaye tankou pousyè nan van. Tout kantite moun ki t'ap fè ou pase tray yo pral disparèt tankou pay van ap bwote. W'ap rete konsa,
6 She shall be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap parèt sou ou, avèk gwo van loraj, tranblemanntè, ak yon pakèt gwo bri, avèk siklòn, van tanpèt ak gwo flanm dife k'ap boule.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
Lè sa a, tout bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki t'ap fè lagè avèk lotèl Bondye a, tout gwo lame ki te anvayi peyi a, ki te sènen lavil la, ki t'ap toufounen l' kote l' te ye a, yo tout yo pral disparèt tankou yon move rèv ou t'ap fè, tankou yon vizyon w'ap fè nan mitan lannwit.
8 And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats. But he awakes, and his soul is empty. Or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks. But he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite. So shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion.
Wi, tout bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki t'ap fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Siyon an, y'ap tankou yon moun k'ap mouri grangou epi ki reve l'ap manje. Men, lè li leve, li grangou pi rèd. Osinon, tankou yon moun k'ap mouri swaf dlo, li reve l'ap bwè dlo. Men, lè li leve, li tou fèb, li swaf dlo pi rèd.
9 Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink.
Nou pral sezi, nou pral rete bèbè! Fèmen je nou pou nou pa wè! Nou pral sou, san nou pa menm bwè. N'ap titibe san nou pa pran yon gout gwòg!
10 For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered.
Paske Seyè a fè nou anvi dòmi. Li fè je nou vin lou. Pwofèt yo, se je pèp la yo ye! Li kouvri tèt nou. Divinò yo, se tèt pèp la yo ye.
11 And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
Nou pa ka konprann tou sa Bondye fè nou konnen la a. Y'ap tankou yon liv yo sele. Si nou pote l' bay yon moun ki konn li pou nou mande l' li l' pou nou, l'ap reponn nou li pa kapab, paske liv la sele.
12 And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.
Lè ou pote l' bay yon moun ki pa konn li pou ou mande l' li l' pou ou, l'ap reponn ou li pa konn li.
13 And the Lord said, Inasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, but in vain they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
Seyè a di: -Lè moun sa yo ap fè sèvis pou mwen, se pawòl nan bouch! Y'ap louvri bouch yo pou fè lwanj mwen, men lespri yo byen lwen. Si y'ap mache di yo gen krentif pou mwen, se pawòl granmoun lontan moutre yo y'ap repete lè konsa.
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.
Se poutèt sa, mwen pral fè yon lòt seri mèvèy ak mirak devan je yo. Mwen pral detounen bon konprann moun save yo. Moun lespri yo ak tout konesans yo p'ap konprann anyen.
15 Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and, Who knows us?
Madichon pou moun k'ap kache Seyè a sa yo gen lide fè! Y'ap fè plan yo an kachèt. Y'ap di pa gen moun ki wè yo. Pa gen moun k'ap konnen sa y'ap fè.
16 Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay, that the thing made should say of him who made it, He did not make me, or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
Nou vire tout bagay lanvè! Kilès ki pi konsekan, moun k'ap fè krich yo osinon tè wouj la? Eske bagay yon nonm fè ka di moun ki fè l' la se pa ou ki fè m'? Eske yon krich ka di moun ki fè l' la se moun sòt ou ye?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
Anvan nou bat je nou, rakbwa peyi Liban tounen jaden, jaden tounen rakbwa.
18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Jou sa a, moun soudè yo va tande pawòl y'ap li nan liv. Avèg yo ki t'ap viv nan fènwa va louvri je yo, y'a wè.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Seyè a va fè tipitit yo gen kè kontan ankò. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki yon Bondye apa, va fè malere yo danse tèlman y'a kontan.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases. And all those who watch for iniquity are cut off,
Paske lwijanboje a pral jwenn ak bout li. Moun ki t'ap pase Bondye nan betiz la pral disparèt. Yo pral fini ak tout moun ki t'ap chache okazyon pou fè sa ki mal,
21 who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
moun k'ap fè inonsan peye pou koupab, moun k'ap antrave travay jij yo nan tribinal, moun k'ap bay manti pou moun serye pa jwenn jistis.
22 Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.
Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki te delivre Abraram lan, di: Moun Jakòb yo p'ap janm wont ankò. Figi yo p'ap dekonpoze ankò.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name. Yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Lè y'a wè pitit mwen menm m'ap ba yo nan kò kay yo, y'a rekonèt se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Y'a rekonèt Bondye fanmi Jakòb la se yon Bondye apa. Y'a respekte m', y'a genyen m' krentif.
24 They also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmur shall receive instruction.
Moun ki te pèdi tèt yo va rive gen bon konprann. Moun ki te toujou ap bougonnen yo va kontan aprann nan men mwen.
