Isaiah 36
1 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured 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 The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
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 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.
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 Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
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 that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled 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 Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who 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 you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You 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 Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on 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 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots 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 Have I come up now without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, “Go up 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 Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Do not speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who 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 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine 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 Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
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 The king says, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
Konsa pale wa a: ‘Pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, paske li p ap ka delivre nou!
15 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
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 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
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 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
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 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
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 are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Kote dye a Hamath ak Arpad yo? Kote dye a Sepharvaïm yo? Epi kilè yo te delivre Samarie nan men m?”
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my 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 But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
Men yo te pe la e pa t di l yon mo, paske lòd a wa a se te: “Pa reponn li”.
22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words 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.
