Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.
Malè a ou menm, O ou ki detwi lòt pandan ou pa t detwi; epi sila ki fè trèt pandan lòt moun pa t aji an trèt avè w. Depi ou fin detwi, ou osi va vin detwi nèt. Depi ou fin fè trèt, lòt moun va fè trèt kont ou.
2 O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.
O SENYÈ, fè nou gras. Nou t ap tann Ou. Sèvi kon fòs pa nou chak maten, delivrans pa nou nan tan gwo twoub.
3 The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
Lè bri zen an vin leve, pèp yo sove ale. Lè Ou fè leve Ou menm, nasyon yo gaye.
4 Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
Piyaj pa W va ranmase tankou cheni ranmase. Tankou krikèt volan konn vòltije, se konsa y ap vòltije sou li.
5 The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
SENYÈ a leve wo, paske se anwo ke Li rete. Li te ranpli Sion ak jistis ak ladwati.
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
Se Li k ap fè tan pa nou estab, richès a delivrans, sajès ak konesans. Lakrent SENYÈ a se trezò ou.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
Gade byen, mesye pwisan pa yo, kriye nan lari, anbasadè lapè yo kriye fò.
8 The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
Gran chemen yo rete vid. Moun ki vwayaje yo sispann. Li te kase akò a. Li te meprize vil yo. Li pa respekte pèsòn.
9 The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Peyi a kriye ak doulè, ak kè fennen. Liban vin wont e tanme disparèt. Saron vin tankou yon dezè e Basan ak Carmel pèdi tout fèyaj.
10 “Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
“Koulye a, Mwen va leve”, SENYÈ a di: “Koulye a Mwen va egzalte. Koulye a Mwen va leve wo.
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
Nou te ansent pay, e nou va akouche pay. Souf Mwen va manje nou tankou dife.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
Pèp yo va brile kon lacho, tankou pikan koupe ki fin brile nan dife a.”
13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
“Nou menm ki lwen yo, koute sa ke M te fè a; epi nou menm ki toupre, rekonèt pwisans Mwen.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
Pechè Sion yo vin sezi ak laperèz; tranbleman fin sezi enkwayan yo. Se kilès pami nou ki ka viv ak yon dife ki manje tout bagay? “Se kilès nan nou ki ka viv ak dife k ap brile tou tan an?”
15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
Sila ki mache nan ladwati a e ki pale ak kè sensè a? Sila ki refize benefis lajan ki sòti nan enjistis la, e ki souke men l pou sa ki vèse anba tab pa rete nan yo; sila ki bouche zòrèy li pou l pa menm tande afè vèse san, e ki fèmen zye l pou l pa gade mal.
16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
Li va demere nan wotè yo; pwotèj pa li va nan wòch solid ke lènmi yo pa ka pwoche. Pen li va vèse bay li, e dlo li va asire.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
Zye nou va wè Wa a nan tout bèlte Li. Yo va wè yon peyi ki byen lwen.
18 Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
Kè ou va medite sou gwo laperèz la. “Kote sila ki te konte a? Kote sila ki te peze a? Kote sila ki te konte fò yo?”
19 You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
Ou p ap ankò wè yon pèp fewòs, yon pèp ak langaj dwòl ke ou pa konprann, a lang bege ke pèsòn pa konprann.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
Gade sou Sion, gran vil a gwo fèt dezinye yo. Zye ou va wè Jérusalem, yon abitasyon san twoub, yon tant ki p ap bezwen pliye. Pikèt li p ap janm rache, ni kòd li yo p ap chire.
21 But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.
Men la, SENYÈ va avèk nou nan majeste, yon kote ak rivyè ak gwo kanal, sou sila gwo kannòt ak anpil zaviwon p ap janm pase, ni gwo bato p ap janm pase la.
22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.
Paske SENYÈ a se jij nou. Se SENYÈ a ki bay lwa nou yo. Se SENYÈ a ki wa nou. Se Li menm ki va sove nou.
23 Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
Kòd vwal nou yo vin lach. Yo p at ka soutini baz ma bato a byen, ni kenbe vwal la gran ouvri. Alò, piyaj la a gwo boutin nan te divize. Sila ki bwate a te pran piyaj la.
24 And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.
Pèp peyi a pa p di: “Mwen malad”. Moun ki rete la yo va padone pou inikite yo.
