Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Pwofesi konsènan Babylon ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè a.
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.
Leve yon drapo sou mòn toutouni an! Leve vwa nou vè yo! Fè sign ak men pou yo ka antre nan pòt a prens yo!
3 I have commanded my hallowed ones, I have also called my mighty men for mine anger, them that rejoice in my highness.
Mwen te pase lòd anvè konsakre Mwen yo; menm gran gèrye Mwen yo. Mwen te rele sila ki rejwi nan pwisans Mwen yo, pou egzekite kòlè Mwen.
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.
Yon bri a gwo zen sou mòn yo, tankou bri anpil moun! Yon son a gwo bri nan wayòm yo; son a nasyon yo ki vin rasanble ansanm! SENYÈ dèzame yo ap rasanble lame a pou batay.
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.
Yo sòti nan yon peyi byen lwen, soti nan ekstremite pi lwen yo, SENYÈ a avèk zouti a gwo kòlè Li yo, pou detwi tout peyi a.
6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.
Rele anmwey, paske jou SENYÈ a toupre! Li va rive tankou yon destriksyon k ap sòti nan Toupwisan an.
7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,
Akoz sa, tout men yo va tonbe san fòs e kè a tout moun va fann.
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 vin pè anpil; doulè ak gwo lapèn va sezi yo nèt. Yo va vire tòde tankou fanm k ap akouche; youn va gade lòt ak sezisman. Figi yo k ap fè flanm dife.
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.
Gade byen, jou SENYÈ a ap vini, byen sovaj ak gwo kòlè tèrib; kòlè k ap brile pou fè peyi a dezole! Li va ekstèmine pechè ki sou li yo.
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.
Konsa, zetwal syèl yo ak fòmasyon yo p ap bay limyè yo. Solèy la va nwa lè l leve e lalin nan p ap bay limyè li.
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.
Konsa Mwen va pini mond lan pou mechanste li ak mechan yo pou inikite yo. Mwen va mete fen ak awogans moun ògeye e desann awogans a sila ki san pitye a.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even man than the gold of Ophir.
Mwen va fè lòm mòtèl la vin pi ra pase lò san tach, e limanite ke lò Ophir.
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.
Pou sa, Mwen va fè syèl yo tranble e latè va fin souke jiskaske li kite plas li nan kòlè a SENYÈ dèzame yo nan jou kòlè Li k ap anflame 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.
Konsa li va rive ke menm tankou yon antilop k ap chase, oswa mouton san moun pou rasanble yo, yo chak va vire vè pwòp pèp yo, e yo chak va sove ale rive nan pwòp peyi yo.
15 All that are found shall be thrust through; and every one that is in league [with them] shall fall by the sword.
Nenpòt moun yo rankontre, yo va frennen touye nèt, e nenpòt moun ke yo kaptire, va mouri pa nepe.
16 And their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes, their houses shall be rifled, and their women ravished.
Timoun piti pa yo, anplis, va kraze an mòso devan zye yo. Lakay yo va piyaje e madanm yo va vyole.
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.
Gade byen, Mwen va fè Mèdes leve kont yo; kont sila ki p ap bay ajan valè yo, ni pran plezi nan lò 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.
Banza yo va koupe jennonm yo tankou zèb; yo p ap menm gen konpasyon pou fwi zantray la, ni zye yo p ap fè pitye pou timoun.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Konsa, Babylon bèlte a wayòm yo, glwa ak ògèy a Kaldeyen yo, va tankou lè ke Bondye te boulvèse Sodome ak Gomorrhe a.
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.
Li p ap janm abite ankò, ni pèsòn p ap viv ladann soti nan yon jenerasyon a yon lòt. Arab la p ap monte tant li la, ni bèje yo p ap fè twoupo yo kouche 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.
Men se bèt sovaj dezè ki va kouche la, e lakay yo va plen jakal. Anplis, otrich va viv la e kabrit mawon k ap vòltije la.
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.
Chat mawon va plenyen nan fò ki wo yo, e jakal yo nan bèl palè yo. Move lè pa li a va rive ase vit e jou li yo p ap pwolonje.
