Isaiah 37
1 On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
Lè wa Ézéchias te tande sa, li te chire rad li, te kouvri kò l ak sak twal, e li te antre lakay SENYÈ a.
2 And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
Li te voye Éliakim ki te chèf nan kay la avèk Schebna, grefye a ak ansyen a prèt yo, kouvri ak sak twal, kote Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la.
3 to tell him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.
Yo te di l: “Men konsa pale Ézéchias: ‘Jou sa a se yon jou gwo malè, repwòch ak rejè; paske pitit yo rive nan lè pou yo fèt e nanpwen fòs pou akouche yo.
4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”
Petèt, SENYÈ Bondye ou a va tande pawòl a Rabschaké, ke mèt li a, wa Assyrie a, te voye pou repwoche Bondye vivan an, e li va repwoche pawòl ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te tande yo. Pou sa, leve lapriyè yo pou retay ki la toujou yo.’”
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
Se konsa sèvitè a Wa Ézéchias yo te rive kote Ésaïe.
6 who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
Ésaïe te di yo: “Konsa nou va pale mèt nou an, ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale: “Pa pè akoz pawòl ke ou te tande yo, avèk sila sèvitè a wa Assyrie yo te blasfeme non Mwen.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
Gade byen, Mwen va mete yon lespri nan li pou l tande yon rimè pou li retounen nan pwòp peyi li. Epi Mwen va fè l tonbe pa nepe nan pwòp peyi li.”’”
8 When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.
Pou sa a, Rabschaké te retounen e te twouve wa Assyrie a t ap goumen kont Libna, paske li te tande ke wa a te kite Lakis.
9 Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “He has set out to fight against you.” On hearing this, Sennacherib sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Lè li menm, wa Assyrie a tande yo pale de Tirhaka, wa Cush la: “Li te parèt deyò pou goumen kont nou,” epi lè l tande sa, li te voye mesaje yo kote Ézéchias e te di:
10 “Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
“Konsa ou va di a Ézéchias, wa a Juda a: ‘Pa kite Bondye ou a nan sila ou mete konfyans ou an pase ou anba rizib pou di ou: “Jérusalem p ap bay nan men wa Assyrie a.”
11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
Gade byen, ou te tande sa ke wa Assyrie yo te fè a tout peyi yo, ke yo te detwi yo nèt. Konsa, èske ou va chape?
12 Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?
Èske dye a nasyon sa yo ke papa m te detwi yo te delivre yo; Gozan, Charan, Retseph, ak fis a Éden ki te Telassar yo?
13 Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Kote wa Hamath la, wa Arpad la, ak wa nan vil a Sepharvaïm lan, Héna, ak Ivva?’”
14 So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
Ézéchias te pran lèt la nan men mesaje a, li te li li. Konsa, li te monte lakay SENYÈ a, e li te ouvri li devan SENYÈ a.
15 And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD:
Ézéchias te priye a SENYÈ a e te di:
16 “O LORD of Hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
“O SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, ki chita sou twòn li anwo cheriben yo, Ou se Bondye a, Ou menm sèl, sou tout wayòm latè yo. Ou te fè syèl la ak latè a.
17 Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to all the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.
Panche zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ pou tande. Ouvri zye Ou, O SENYÈ pou Ou wè. Koute byen tout pawòl ke Sanchérib te voye pou repwoche Bondye vivan an.
18 Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all these countries and their lands.
Anverite O SENYÈ, wa Assyrie yo te detwi tout peyi yo ak tout tè pa yo.
19 They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.
Epi li te jete dye pa yo nan dife, paske se pa t dye yo te ye, men zèv ki te fèt pa men a lòm, ak bwa ak wòch. Konsa yo te detwi yo.
20 And now, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
Koulye a, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, delivre nou soti nan men l pou tout wayòm latè yo ka konnen ke Ou menm sèl SENYÈ a, se Bondye.”
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Ésaïe, fis a Amots la te voye kote Ézéchias e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ‘Akoz nou te priye a Mwen menm sou Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a,
22 this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
men pawòl ke SENYÈ a fin pale kont li: Fi vyèj a Sion an desann ou nèt! Li pa bay ou valè. Fi a Jérusalem nan souke tèt li devan w!
23 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Se kilès ou te meprize e blasfeme? Kont kilès ou te leve vwa ou, e kont kilès ou te leve zye ou ak ògèy la? Kont Sila Ki Sen an Israël la!
24 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest heights, the densest of its forests.
Ak sèvitè ou yo, ou te meprize SENYÈ a! Ou te di: ‘Ak tout cha mwen yo, mwen te monte sou wotè a mòn yo, kote pi izole nan Liban yo. Epi mwen va koupe bwa sèd li yo ak tout bwa pichpen pi bèl yo. Mwen va monte kote tèt mòn pi wo li a, nan forè pi bèl li yo.
25 I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
Mwen te fouye pwi yo, mwen te bwè dlo yo e ak pla pye mwen, mwen fè tout rivyè an Égypte yo vin sèch.’”
26 Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
“Èske ou pa t tande? Lontan sa, Mwen te fè li; depi nan tan ansyen yo, Mwen te planifye sa. Koulye a Mwen fin fè l rive, pou ou ta fè gwo vil fòtifye yo vin tounen gwo pil mazi.
27 Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
Akoz sa, moun ki te rete ladann yo te manke fòs. Yo te plen konfizyon ak wont. Yo te tankou zèb chan, tankou zèb vèt, tankou zèb sou twati kay ki fennen avan li fin grandi.
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
Men Mwen konnen lè ou chita ak lè ou sòti, lè ou antre ak lè ou fè laraj kont Mwen.
29 Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
Akoz laraj ou fè kont Mwen, e akoz ògèy ou rive monte nan zòrèy Mwen; pou sa, Mwen va mete yon gwo kwòk nan nen ou ak brid Mwen nan lèv ou, e Mwen va vire fè ou tounen pa chemen ke ou te antre a.”
30 And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
“Epi sa va sign pou ou: ou va manje ane sa a sa ki grandi pou li, nan dezyèm ane sa ki vin parèt menm jan an. Nan twazyèm ane a, plante, rekòlte, plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi yo.
31 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below and bear fruit above.
Retay lakay Juda ki chape a va ankò pran rasin anba pou donnen fwi anlè.
32 For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
Paske soti nan Jérusalem, va vin parèt yon retay e sòti nan Mòn Sion, kèk moun ki chape. Zèl kouraj SENYÈ a va akonpli sa a.”
33 So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
“Pou sa” pale SENYÈ a, pale konsènan wa Assyrie a konsa: “Li p ap rive nan vil sa a, ni tire yon flèch la. Li p ap parèt devan l ak boukliye, ni monte yon ran syèj kont li.
34 He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’
Pa menm chemen ke li te vini an, pa li menm li va retounen e li p ap rive sou vil sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
35 ‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
‘Paske Mwen va defann vil sa a pou sove li pou pwòp koz pa M, e pou koz sèvitè Mwen an, David.’”
36 Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
Epi zanj SENYÈ a te sòti deyò e te frape san-katre-ven-senk-mil lòm nan kan Asiryen yo. Lè moun te leve bonè granmmaten, gade byen, yo tout te mouri.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
Konsa, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a te sòti, te retounen lakay li e te rete Ninive.
38 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
Li te vin rive pandan li t ap adore lakay Nisroc, dye pa li a, ke Adrammélec ak Scharetser, fis li yo, te touye li ak nepe e yo te chape antre nan peyi Ararat. Konsa, Ésar-Haddon, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
