2 Kings 19
1 And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
Lè Ézéchias te tande sa, li te chire rad li. Li te kouvri kò li avèk twal sak e li te antre lakay SENYÈ a.
2 And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
Epi li te voye Éliakim ki te sou tout kay avèk Schebna, grefye a ak ansyen pami prèt yo, kouvri avèk twal sak kote Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la.
3 And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.
Yo te di li: “Konsa pale Ézéchias: ‘Jou sa a se yon jou gwo twoub, chatiman, ak abandon; pwiske pitit yo vin parèt pou akouche, men pa gen fòs pou fè l.
4 Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”
Petèt SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, va tande tout pawòl a Rabschaké yo ke mèt li a, wa Assyrie a, te voye pou repwoche Bondye Vivan an e va repwoche pawòl ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te tande a. Pou sa, ofri lapriyè pou retay ki toujou rete a.’”
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
Pou sa, sèvitè a wa Ézéchias yo te vin kote Ésaïe.
6 And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
Ésaïe te di yo: “Konsa nou va pale a mèt nou an: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Pa krent akoz pawòl ke ou te tande yo, avèk sila sèvitè a wa Assyrie yo te blasfeme Mwen yo.
7 Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”
Veye byen, mwen va mete yon lespri nan li pou l tande yon fo nouvèl pou retounen nan pwòp peyi pa li. Epi Mwen va fè l tonbe pa nepe nan pwòp peyi li.”’”
8 Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.
Alò, Rabschaké te retounen e te twouve wa Assyrie a t ap goumen kont Libna; paske li te tande ke li te fin kite Lakis.
9 And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
Lè l te tande sa pa Tirhaka, wa Ethiopie a, vwala, li vin parèt pou goumen kont ou, li te ankò voye mesaje yo kote Ézéchias e te di:
10 “So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
“Konsa ou va pale a Ézéchias, wa Juda a, ‘Pa kite Bondye ou a nan Sila ou mete konfyans ou an twonpe ou e di: “Jérusalem p ap antre nan men a wa Assyrie a.”
11 For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?
Gade byen, ou konn tande sa ke wa Assyrie a te fè a tout peyi yo, destriksyon konplèt. Èske se konsa ke ou va delivre a?
12 Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?
Èske dye a nasyon sila yo ke zansèt mwen yo te detwi yo, te delivre yo, menm? Gozan, Charan, Retseph, avèk fis a Éden ki te Telassar yo?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”
Kibò wa Hamath la ye, wa Arpad la, wa gran vil Sepharvaïm nan, Henna, avèk Ivva?’”
14 And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.
Alò, Ézéchias te pran lèt la soti nan men a mesaje yo e li te li li. Li te monte lakay SENYÈ a, e li te louvri li devan SENYÈ a.
15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.
Ézéchias te priye devan SENYÈ a, e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, ki chita sou twòn li pami cheriben yo, Ou se Bondye a, Ou sèl Ou pami tout wayòm sou latè yo. Ou te fè syèl la avèk tè a.
16 Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.
Panche zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ a pou tande. Ouvri zye Ou O SENYÈ pou wè. Koute pawòl a Sanchérib yo, ke li te voye pou repwoche Bondye Vivan an.
17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.
Anverite, O SENYÈ, wa Assyrie yo te devaste nasyon yo avèk peyi pa yo,
18 And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.
epi yo te jete dye pa yo nan dife, paske se pa dye yo ye, men se zèv a men lèzòm yo, bwa avèk wòch. Pou sa, yo te detwi yo.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”
Alò, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, mwen priye Ou, delivre nou nan men li pou tout wayòm sou latè yo kab konnen Ou sèl, O SENYÈ, se Bondye a.”
20 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.
Epi Ésaïe, fis a Amots la te voye kote Ézéchias e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Akoz ou te priye a Mwen pou Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, Mwen te tande.”
21 This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.
Sa se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale kont li an: “Li te meprize ou e moke ou, Fi vyèj a Sion an. Li te souke tèt li dèyè do ou, Fi a Jérusalem nan!
22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Se kilès ou te repwoche e blasfeme a? Epi kont kilès ou te leve vwa ou a, avèk ògèy, ou te leve zye ou? Kont Sila ki Sen a Israël la?
23 By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,
Pa mesaje ou yo, ou te repwoche SENYÈ a. Ou te di: “Avèk anpil cha mwen yo, mwen te rive sou wotè a mòn yo. Jis rive nan kote pi izole nan Liban an, mwen va koupe gwo bwa sèd li yo, avèk bwa pichpen pi chwazi li yo. Epi mwen va antre jis nan lojman pi izole yo, nan pi gran rakbwa ki te genyen yo.
24 I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’
Mwen te fouye pwi yo e te bwè dlo etranje li yo, Epi avèk pla pye mwen, mwen te seche tout rivyè Égypte yo.”
25 But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.
Èske ou pa t tande? Depi lontan Mwen te fè l; Depi nan tan ansyen yo, Mwen te planifye l. Koulye a, Mwen gen tan fè l vin rive, ke ou ta fè vil fòtifye yo vin pil ranblè.
26 And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.
Pou sa, abitan pa yo te manke fòs. Yo te deranje e te vin wont nèt. Yo te tankou zèb chan, tankou zèb vèt, tankou zèb sou twati kay ki vin brile avan li kab grandi.
27 Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.
Men M konnen chita ou, sòti avèk antre pa ou, ak laraj ke ou konn fè kont Mwen.
28 You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.
Epi akoz laraj ou kont Mwen, akoz awogans ou vin monte nan zòrèy Mwen, pou sa, mwen va mete zen Mwen nan nen ou, ak brid Mwen, pou antre nan lèv ou, epi Mwen va vire ou fè ou fè bak pa menm chemen ke ou te antre a.”
29 But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.
“Epi sa va sign lan pou ou: Ou va manje nan lane sila a sa ki grandi pou kont li, nan dezyèm ane a, sa ki sòti menm jan an konsa e nan twazyèm ane a, ou va simen, rekòlte, plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi pa yo.
30 And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.
Retay ki chape lakay Juda a va ankò pran rasin k ap pouse pa anba pou bay fwi pa anlè.
31 Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.
Paske depi Jérusalem, va vin sòti yon retay e sòti nan Mòn Sion, sila ki chape yo. Zèl SENYÈ a va acheve sa.”
32 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.
“Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a selon wa Assyrie a: ‘Li p ap rive nan vil sila a, ni tire yon flèch la. Li p ap rive devan li avèk yon boukliye, ni monte yon ran syèj kont li.
33 By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
Pa menm chemen ke li te antre a, pa li menm, li va retounen e li p ap rive nan vil sila a’, deklare SENYÈ a.
34 And I will protect this city, and I will 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 koz Mwen menm ak pou koz sèvitè mwen an, David.’”
35 And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.
Epi li te vin rive menm nwit sa a ke zanj SENYÈ a te sòti e te frape san-katre-ven-senk-mil moun nan kan Asiryen yo. Lè moun yo te leve granmmaten, men vwala, yo tout te mouri.
36 And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.
Pou sa, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te sòti e te retounen lakay li pou te rete Ninive.
37 And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
Konsa, li te vin rive pandan li t ap adore lakay Nisroc la, dye pa li a, ke Adrammélec avèk Scharetser te touye li avèk nepe, epi yo te chape nan peyi Ararat. Epi Ésar-Haddon, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
