Isaiah 33
1 Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.
Madichon pou lènmi nou yo! Y'ap devalize nou, pesonn pa devalize yo. Y'ap trayi nou, pesonn pa trayi yo. Men tou, lè y'a fin devalize nou, moun va devalize yo tou! Lè y'a fin trayi nou, moun va trayi yo tou!
2 O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.
Seyè, pitye pou nou! Se nan ou nou mete tout espwa nou! Pwoteje nou jou apre jou! Delivre nou lè nou anba tray!
3 At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.
Lè w'ap goumen pou nou, tande lòt nasyon yo tande bri lagè a, yo kouri met deyò, yo gaye.
4 And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.
Tankou krikèt nan jaden, nou kouri lage kò nou sou tou sa yo genyen, nou ranmase tout bagay pote ale.
5 The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.
Ala pouvwa Seyè a genyen! Li donminen sou tout bagay! L'ap fè tout moun mache dwat nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pesonn p'ap fè lenjistis sou mòn Siyon an.
6 And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.
Li p'ap kite anyen rive pèp la ankò. Sa k'ap toujou sove yo, se va bon konprann ak konesans Bondye ap ba yo a. Pi gwo richès yo, se krentif y'a gen pou Seyè a.
7 See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.
Vanyan gason ap rele anmwe. Moun yo te voye pou siyen lapè yo ap kriye ak gwo lapenn nan kè yo.
8 The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.
Nanpwen pesonn sou granchemen yo. Moun pa vwayaje ankò. Lènmi yo pa respekte kontra yo te siyen an, yo pa kenbe dizon yo. Y'a manke tout moun dega.
9 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.
Peyi a nan lapenn, l'ap deperi. Nan peyi Liban, moun pa konn sa pou yo fè. Gwo rakbwa yo ap cheche. Bèl plenn peyi Sawon an tounen savann. Nan tout peyi Bazan ak peyi Kamèl, tout pyebwa ap pèdi fèy.
10 Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.
Seyè a pale ak lòt nasyon yo, li di yo: -Koulye a, m'ap leve kanpe, m'ap fè nou wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' gen fòs kouraj.
11 Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
N'ap fè yon bann lide nan tèt nou ki pa vo anyen. Se nou menm ankò k'ap touye tèt nou.
12 And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
M'ap boule nou tankou yo boule wòch pou fè lacho, tankou pikan chèch yo jete nan dife.
13 Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
Se pou tout moun, ni sa ki pre ni sa ki lwen, tande sa mwen te fè. Se pou tout moun konnen jan m' gen pouvwa.
14 The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
Nan lavil Siyon, moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo pral gen kè sere. Moun ki refize fè sa Bondye mande a pral tranble. Y'ap di: Jijman Bondye se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule san rete. Kilès nan nou ki ka chape anba yon dife konsa?
15 He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
Moun k'ap chape, se moun k'ap mache dwat yo, moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa sèvi ak pouvwa yo pou pwofite sou lòt moun, moun ki pa asepte lajan sou kote, moun ki pa dakò ak moun k'ap fè plan pou fè mechanste, moun ki pa mele ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.
16 He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
Se moun konsa ki pral rive nan lavi. Tankou yon moun ki nan yon gwo fò byen wo, anyen p'ap rive l': l'ap toujou jwenn manje pou l' manje ak dlo pou l' bwè.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
Yon jou, n'a wè yon wa k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay, nan yon gwo gwo peyi.
18 Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
Lè sa a, n'a chonje sa ki te konn fè nou pè a. Nan kè nou, n'a mande: Kote prepoze kontribisyon yo? Kote kontwòlè mache yo? Kote moun ki t'ap mache enspekte fò yo?
19 Never again will you see the cruel people, a people whose tongue has no sense for you; whose language is strange to you.
Nou p'ap wè bann moun awogan sa yo ankò, bann moun ki soti lòt peyi, ki pale lòt lang ou pa ka menm konprann, yon lang k'ap kòche zòrèy ou.
20 Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.
Voye je ou gade lavil Siyon, kote nou fè gwo fèt nou yo! Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Yon bon kote pou moun rete san kè sote. L'ap tankou yon tant yo p'ap janm demoute, pikèt li yo p'ap janm rache, kòd li yo p'ap janm kase.
21 But there the Lord will be with us in his glory, ... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
Se la Seyè a pral fè nou wè pouvwa li. M'ap rete bò gwo larivyè a ak gwo kannal dlo yo, men ankenn kannòt, ankenn batiman lènmi p'ap ka pase ladan yo.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
Paske, se Seyè a menm k'ap chèf nou, se li menm k'ap gouvènen nou, se li ki wa nou, se li k'ap delivre nou.
23 Your cords have become loose; they were not able to make strong the support of their sails, the sail was not stretched out: then the blind will take much property, the feeble-footed will make division of the goods of war.
Tout kòd batiman yo p'ap sèvi yo anyen. Ma yo pèdi fòs, vwal yo pa ka louvri. Y'ap piye tou sa lènmi yo te pote sou batiman yo. Ata moun enfenm pral nan piyay la tou.
24 And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.
Pesonn nan peyi a p'ap plenyen di li malad ankò. Bondye pral padonnen peche tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.
