Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
Wi, kè Seyè a pral fè l' mal pou fanmi Jakòb la. L'ap chwazi pèp Izrayèl la ankò pou pèp pa li. L'ap kite yo rete nan peyi ki pou yo a. Moun lòt nasyon va vin jwenn yo, y'a rete viv ansanm ak moun fanmi Jakòb yo.
2 The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
Anpil lòt nasyon va ede yo tounen nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm va pran yo ak yo nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Y'a fè yo sèvi domestik ak sèvant. Moun ki te fè pèp la prizonye, se yo ki pral tounen prizonye pèp la. Pèp Izrayèl la pral donminen sou moun ki t'ap peze yo anba pye yo.
3 On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,
Seyè a va fè nou jwenn repo apre tout tray, tout tribilasyon ak tout mizè yo te fè nou pase.
4 you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!
Lè sa a, n'a chante pou nou pase wa lavil Babilòn lan nan betiz, n'a di: Gade ki jan moun ki t'ap maltrete nou an disparèt! Gade ki jan yo desann kòlèt li non!
5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.
Seyè a kase baton mechan yo. Li kase kokomakak chèf ki t'ap maltrete nou an!
6 It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.
Lè yo move, yo te konn woule pèp la anba kou. Lè yo ankòlè, yo te konn kraze pèp la anba pye yo, yo pa t' ba yo souf.
7 All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.
Koulye a, tout moun sou latè ap pran souf. Y'ap viv ak kè poze. Toupatou se chante, se kè kontan.
8 Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
Pye pichpen ak pye sèd peyi Liban yo kontan sa ki rive wa a. Y'ap di: Depi li tonbe a, pesonn pa moute vin mete rach nan dèyè nou ankò.
9 Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you— all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
Peyi kote mò yo ye a tèt anba pou resevwa ou. Nanm tout moun ki te gwo chèf sou latè ap souke kò yo pou ou. Nanm tout wa yo ap leve kanpe sot sou fotèy yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”
Yo tout pran pale, y'ap di: Gade! Yo desann ou jan ou te desann nou an. Ou tounen tankou nou.
11 Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket. (Sheol h7585)
Jan yo te konn fè lwanj ou ak bèl mizik dous sou gita! Koulye a, men ou nan peyi mò yo. Ou kouche sou yon kabann plen vèmen. Vè kouvri tout kò ou. (Sheol h7585)
12 How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.
Manyè di nou non, ou menm ki te klere tankou zetwal bajou a, ki jan ou fè tonbe sot nan syèl la? Ou menm ki te konn mache ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye ou, ki jan yo fè jete ou plat atè konsa?
13 You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.
Ou t'ap di nan kè ou: M'ap moute rive jouk nan syèl la. Mwen pral mete fotèy mwen pi wo pase zetwal Bondye yo. Mwen pral chita tankou yon wa nan nò sou tèt mòn Randevou a.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
Mwen pral moute sou tèt nwaj yo. M'ap tankou Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
Men koulye a, yo desann ou nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, jouk anba nan twou san fon an! (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
Mò ki wè ou yo ap fikse je yo sou ou. Y'ap gade ou, y'ap di: Se pa moun ki te konn fè tè a tranble a sa? Se pa li ki te konn fè chèf yo tranble a sa?
17 who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
Se pa li ki te kraze tout lavil yo, ki te fè latè tounen yon dezè a sa? Se pa li ki pa t' janm kite moun li fè prizonye tounen lakay yo a sa?
18 All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
Tout wa latè yo kouche nan bèl kavo yo, yon kavo pou yo chak.
19 But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
Men, ou menm, ou pa menm gen yon tonm. Yo kite kadav ou ap trennen tankou kadav chen nan granchemen. L'ap pouri nan mitan kadav sòlda yo touye nan lagè, yo jete l' ansanm ak lòt kadav yo nan yon twou wòch, yo pilonnen l' anba pye yo.
20 You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.
Yo p'ap antere ou jan yo fè l' pou lòt wa yo, paske ou te fini ak peyi ou la, ou te touye pèp ou a. Yo p'ap janm chonje non fanmi lwijanboje sa yo!
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.
Pare pou nou masakre tout pitit wa yo poutèt mechanste papa yo te fè! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape pou yo pa janm vin chèf, pou yo pa janm mache bati lavil toupatou sou latè ankò.
22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,”
Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di konsa: -Mwen pral leve dèyè yo. Mwen pral disparèt lavil Babilòn. Mwen p'ap kite anyen, ni non l', ni moun li yo, tout ras yo, tout pitit yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
23 “I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
M'ap fè lavil Babilòn tounen yon marekay. Se zagoudi ase k'ap rete la. Mwen pral bale sa byen bale. M' p'ap kite anyen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki pale.
24 The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Sa se sèten. Sa m' te fè lide fè a, m'ap fè l'. Sa m' te deside fè a ap rive vre.
25 I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
M'ap kraze lame wa Lasiri a nan peyi mwen an. M'ap pilonnen l' anba pye m' sou mòn mwen yo. M'ap wete pye l' sou kou pèp mwen an, m'ap wete chay li te mete sou zepòl yo a.
26 This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.
Men sa mwen fè lide fè pou latè. Mwen pral leve men m' pou m' pini tout nasyon yo.
27 The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
Depi Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fin pran yon desizyon, pa gen moun ki ka enpoze l' fè sa li vle fè a. Li fin lonje men l' pou l' pini, pa gen moun ki ka rete l'.
28 In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:
Lanne wa Akaz te mouri a, men mesaj Bondye te bay lè sa a:
29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
-Nou menm, moun peyi Filisti yo, baton ki t'ap bat nou an kase. Men, nou pa bezwen kontan pou sa. Paske, lè yon sèpan mouri gen yon lòt ki pi mechan pase l' k'ap pran plas li. L'ap kale yon dragon ki gen zèl.
30 Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.
Seyè a va tounen yon gadò pou pòv malere ki nan peyi a. L'a fè yo manje, l'a ba yo kote pou yo rete san yo pa bezwen pè ankenn danje. Men, m'ap voye yon sèl grangou sou ras moun Filisti yo, yo yonn p'ap chape.
31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
Nou menm k'ap veye pòtay lavil moun Filisti yo, nou mèt plenn kont kò nou! Nou menm ki rete anndan lavil yo, nou mèt pouse kont rèl nou. Nou tout moun peyi Filisti yo, nou mèt tranble nan tout kò nou. Yon nwaj nwa ap vini soti nan nò. Se yon gwo lame. Pa gen yonn nan sòlda li yo k'ap fè kazwèl!
32 What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”
Kisa n'a reponn mesaje moun peyi Filisti yo va voye kote nou an? N'a di yo se Seyè a menm ki mete peyi Siyon an kanpe ankò pou tout bon. Se la tout pèp li a, pèp ki t'ap soufri a, va vin jwenn pwoteksyon.
