Isaiah 19
1 This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Men mesaj Bondye bay sou peyi Lejip la: -Seyè a chita sou yon nwaj k'ap kouri desann bò peyi Lejip la. Zidòl Lejip yo tranble devan l'. Moun peyi Lejip yo gen kè kase.
2 “So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Seyè a di: M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo leve yonn dèyè lòt. Yo pral goumen yonn ak lòt, vwazinaj ak vwazinaj, vil ak vil, chèf ak chèf.
3 Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
Nou pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo, yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè. Yo pral rele nan pye zidòl yo, yo pral kay majisyen, kay divinò ak kay moun k'ap rele mò.
4 I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
Mwen pral lage moun Lejip yo nan men yon chèf ki rèd anpil, nan men yon wa mechan ki pral gouvènen yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!
5 The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
Dlo larivyè Nil lan pral bese jouk l'a rive chèch nèt.
6 The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
Kannal yo pral santi, dlo kannal yo pral bese jouk yo chèch. Pye wozo ak pye jon yo pral fennen.
7 The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
Tout pyebwa ki pouse, tout jaden yo te plante bò larivyè Nil, depi anwo jouk nan lanbouchi, pral cheche. Van pral bwote yo ale, li p'ap kite anyen.
8 Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
Pechè yo pral plenn, moun ki te konn peche pwason ak zen nan larivyè a pral pran lapenn. Moun ki te konn voye privye nan larivyè a pral nan gwo chagren.
9 The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
Moun ki te konn fè bèl twal swa yo pral dekouraje. Sa ki te konn tise lenn yo, sa ki te konn tise bèl twal blan yo pral nan lafliksyon.
10 The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
Bòs k'ap fè twal yo pral nan gwo tèt chaje. Moun k'ap travay yo menm pral nan gwo lapenn.
11 The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
Chèf lavil Zoan yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Sa ki pi fò nan moun k'ap bay farawon an konsèy yo, se ranse y'ap ranse. Ki jan yo ka fè di wa a se pitit ansyen moun lespri ak pitit ansyen wa yo li ye?
12 Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
Farawon, kote moun lespri ou yo? Se pou yo ka di ou sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a gen lide fè peyi Lejip pase! Se pou yo ka fè ou konn sa!
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
Chèf lavil Zoan ak chèf lavil Menmfis yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Yo kite moun ap twonpe yo! Yo te la pou mennen peyi Lejip sou bon chemen. Yo lage l' nan bwa.
14 The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
Seyè a fè tout moun nan peyi a pèdi tèt yo nèt! Sa ki rive? Peyi Lejip pèdi chemen l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, li tankou yon nonm sou k'ap glise tonbe nan sa l'ap vonmi an!
15 There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
Nan peyi Lejip, pesonn, rich kou pòv, gwo kou piti, pa ka fè anyen pou peyi a ankò.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
Jou sa a, gason peyi Lejip yo ap tankou fanm: yo pral tranble, kè yo pral kase lè y'a wè Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap leve men l' pou pini yo.
17 The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
Peyi Jida a ap fè kè moun peyi Lejip yo sote. Chak fwa y'a nonmen non peyi Jida nan zòrèy yo, y'a pè, paske y'a chonje sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te gen lide fè yo pase.
18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
Lè sa a, y'a gen senk lavil nan peyi Lejip kote moun va pale ebre. Moun la va pran non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou fè sèman. Yonn nan lavil sa yo va rele Lavil Solèy.
19 In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
Lè sa a va gen yon lotèl pou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a nan peyi Lejip. Sou fwontyè peyi a, y'ap kanpe yon gwo wòch y'ap mete apa pou Seyè a.
20 It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
Sa va sèvi yon mak pou fè konnen Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a kanpe la nan peyi Lejip la. Lè moun va konprann pou fè yo pase tray, y'a lapriyè Seyè a mande l' sekou. Seyè a va voye yon moun pou vin delivre yo. L'a pran defans yo, l'a sove yo.
21 The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè moun Lejip yo konnen ki moun li ye. Yo menm y'a rekonèt sa, y'a ofri bèt pou touye pou li, y'a ofri rekòt nan jaden yo ba li. Y'a fè Seyè a gwo pwomès. Lèfini, y'a kenbe pwomès yo.
22 And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
Seyè a gen pou l' pini moun Lejip yo. Men, l'a geri yo. Y'a tounen vin jwenn li. Seyè a va koute lè y'ap lapriyè nan pye l', l'a geri yo.
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
Jou sa a, ap gen yon gwo wout k'ap soti peyi Lejip rive jouk nan peyi Lasiri. Moun peyi Lasiri va vwayaje al nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Lejip va vwayaje al nan peyi Lasiri. Tou de peyi yo pral sèvi Seyè a.
24 In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
Lè sa a, peyi Izrayèl la va sou menm pye ak peyi Lejip ansanm ak peyi Lasiri: twa nasyon sa yo va yon benediksyon pou tout moun sou latè.
25 The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
Seyè a va beni yo, l'a di konsa: -benediksyon pou Lejip, pèp mwen an, pou Lasiri mwen te fè ak men mwen an, ak pou Izrayèl ki rele m' pa m' lan.
