Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, sou lavil Babilòn:
2 Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain, raise the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
-Mete yon drapo kanpe sou tèt yon mòn kote pa gen pyebwa menm! Rele byen fò pou sòlda yo pare yo! Leve men ou anlè. Ba yo siyal pou y' al atake pòtay lavil grannèg yo!
3 I have commanded my hallowed ones, I have also called my mighty men for mine anger, them that rejoice in my highness.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap bay sèvitè m' yo lòd! M'ap rele tout vanyan sòlda mwen yo, tout moun pa m' yo ki gen kè kontan, k'ap mache tèt anlè, pou yo pini moun k'ap fè m' fè kòlè yo.
4 The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Koute yon gwo bri sou mòn yo! Se tankou bri yon gwo foul moun, yon kantite nasyon ak moun tout peyi k'ap sanble. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap fè enspeksyon lame li a anvan y' al goumen.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens — Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation — to destroy the whole land.
Seyè a move, l'ap vini ansanm ak sòlda ki pral fè sa li ba yo lòd fè a. Y'ap soti byen lwen nan lòt peyi ki nan dènye bout latè pou yo vin ravaje tout peyi a.
6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.
Nou mèt plenyen kont kò nou, paske jou Seyè a pre rive! Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pral vini pou l' devaste tè a.
7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,
Se poutèt sa, tout moun sou latè pèdi kouraj, kè yo kase!
8 and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.
Y'ap rete konsa, yo pral gen doulè ak lakranp nan tout kò yo. Yo pral tòde tankou fanm ansent ki gen tranche. Yonn ap gade lòt san di krik, y'ap rete ak je yo louvri byen gran tèlman y'a wont.
9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Jou Seyè a ap rive. Seyè a ap san pitye, l'ap fè gwo kòlè, l'ap move anpil. L'ap fè tè a tounen yon dezè, l'ap disparèt dènye moun k'ap fè sa ki mal!
10 For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Tout grenn zetwal nan syèl la, tout zetwal Oryon yo p'ap klere ankò. Solèy la ap tou nwa lè li leve, lalin lan menm p'ap klere ankò.
11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè dezolasyon tonbe sou tout latè poutèt mechanste moun yo ap fè. Mwen pral pini tout mechan yo poutèt fòfè y'ap fè yo. Mwen pral kraze lògèy tout moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo. Mwen pral kraze awogans tout mechan k'ap peze moun anba pye yo.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even man than the gold of Ophir.
Moun k'ap chape yo ap pi ra pase bon lò, pase bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to shake, and the earth shall be removed out of her place, at the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Se poutèt sa, jou mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a fè move san an, jou m'a fè gwo kòlè mwen an, m'ap fè syèl la tranble, m'ap fè tè a kite plas kote li ye a.
14 And it shall be as with a chased roe, and as with a flock that no man gathereth together; every one shall turn to his own people, and every one flee into his own land.
Lè sa a, moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi Babilòn lan va kouri al lakay yo nan peyi yo, tankou gazèl bèf mawon k'ap kouri pou chasè, tankou mouton san gadò ki gaye nan savann.
15 All that are found shall be thrust through; and every one that is in league [with them] shall fall by the sword.
Y'ap touye tout moun peyi a y'a kontre sou wout yo, y'ap kraze tout moun peyi a y'a bare sou chemen yo.
16 And their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes, their houses shall be rifled, and their women ravished.
Y'ap krabinen ti pitit yo la devan je yo, y'ap piye kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou madanm yo.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who do not regard silver, and as for gold, they have no delight in it.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral voye moun peyi Medi yo vin atake yo. Se yon bann moun lajan pa di yo anyen, lò pa tante yo.
18 And [their] bows shall dash the young men to pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb: their eye shall not spare children.
Avèk banza yo, yo pral touye jenn gason. Y'ap san pitye pou timoun fenk fèt. Kè yo p'ap fè yo mal pou timoun piti.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lavil Babilòn, se yon bijou. Se li ki pi bèl pase tout peyi. Moun peyi Kalde yo plen lògèy, y'ap fè grandizè poutèt li. Men, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap kraze l' tankou mwen te kraze lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in, even to generation and generation; nor shall Arabian pitch tent there, nor shepherds make fold there.
Moun p'ap janm al rete la ankò. L'ap rete san moun pou tout tan. Moun peyi Arabi k'ap mache nan dezè yo p'ap janm moute tant yo bò la, ni ankenn gadò mouton p'ap janm mennen mouton yo vin manje bò la.
21 But beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
Se la tout bèt nan bwa pral rete. Koukou pral fè nich nan tout kay yo. Se la otrich pral fè kay yo. Se la kabrit mawon pral danse kalenda.
22 And jackals shall cry to one another in their palaces, and wild dogs in the pleasant castles. And her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Chen mawon pral wouke nan gwo kay yo. Chat mawon pral pran plezi yo nan bèl palè yo. Lè a prèt pou sonnen pou lavil Babilòn, jou l' prèt pou bout.
