Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in rest in their own land; and the stranger shall be united to them, and they shall be joined to the house of Jacob.
SENYÈ a va ankò gen konpasyon sou Jacob, pou l chwazi Israël ankò e fè yo rete nan pwòp peyi yo. Etranje yo va vin jwenn ak yo e atache yo menm a kay Jacob la.
2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Yo va mennen yo fè yo vini nan plas yo, e lakay Israël va posede yo nan peyi SENYÈ a, kon sèvant ak sèvitè. Konsa, yo va pran sila ki te pran yo kaptif yo, yo va kaptire yo e vin mèt sou sila ki te oprime yo.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy trouble and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Li va rive nan jou lè SENYÈ a ba ou repò sou doulè ou, twoub ou ak redi di nan sila ou te vin esklav la,
4 that thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased, — the exactress of gold ceased!
Ke ou va pran chante sa a kont wa Babylon nan epi di: “Gade kijan opresè a vin sispann! Gwo twoub la pa la ankò!”
5 Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers.
SENYÈ a fin kase baton a mechan an, baton a wa yo
6 He that smote the peoples in wrath with a relentless stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted unsparingly.
ki te konn frape pèp la ak gran kolè, ak kou san rete, ki te soumèt nasyon yo ak gwo kòlè ak gwo pèsekisyon san fren.
7 The whole earth is at rest, is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Tout latè gen repo e rete kalm. Yo eklate ak chante kè kontan yo.
8 Even the cypresses rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, [saying, ] Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Menm bwa siprè yo rejwi sou ou e bwa sèd Liban yo ap di: “Paske ou te bese ou, pa gen moun ki koupe bwa k ap monte kont nou.
9 Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming, stirring up the dead for thee, all the he-goats of the earth; making to rise from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Sejou mò a depi anba, gen kè kontan sou ou, pou l ka rankontre ou lè ou vini. Li leve menm pou ou lespri mò yo, tout chèf sou tout latè yo. Li fè leve tout wa a tout nasyon yo soti nan twòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become powerless as we; art thou become like unto us!
Yo tout va reponn epi mande ou: ‘Ou menm, èske ou vin fèb tankou nou? Èske ou vini tankou nou?’
11 — Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, the noise of thy lyres: the maggot is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Tout gwo bagay fèt ou ak mizik ap ou yo fin desann rive nan sejou mò yo. Se vè ki fè kabann anba ou e se vè k ap kouvri ou.” (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!
Kòman ou te tonbe soti nan syèl la, O zetwal granmmaten an! Ou te koupe ra tè; ou menm ki te detwi tout nasyon yo!
13 And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north;
Men nan kè ou, ou te di: “Mwen va monte jis rive nan syèl la! Mwen va fè leve twòn mwen piwo zetwal Bondye yo! Mwen va chita sou mòn asanble a nan fon nò yo!
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High:
Mwen va monte piwo nwaj yo! Mwen va fè mwen menm tankou Pi Wo a!”
Sepandan, ou va pouse desann nan Sejou mò yo, kote fon a gwo fòs la ye a. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, [saying, ] Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms;
Sila ki wè ou va fikse zye sou ou. Yo va reflechi sou ou pou di: “Èske se nonm sila a ki te fè tè a tranble a, ki te souke wayòm yo?
17 [that] made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; [that] dismissed not his prisoners homewards?
Ki te fè mond lan tankou yon dezè a, ki te boulvèse gwo vil li yo, ki te refize kite prizonye li yo ale lakay yo?”
18 — All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house;
Tout wa sou latè yo kouche nan glwa yo, yo chak nan pwòp tonbo pa yo.
19 but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain — those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.
Men ou menm, ou te jete deyò tonbo pa ou a, tankou yon branch rejte, abiye ak sila ki te touye yo, ki te pèse ak nepe yo, ki te desann kote wòch a fòs la tankou yon kadav, kraze foule ak pye.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.
Ou p ap reyini ak yo nan antèman, akoz ou te detwi peyi ou a. Ou te touye pèp ou a. Konsa, non desandan a malfektè sila yo pa p nonmen jis pou tout tan!
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children, because of the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise up and possess the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Prepare pou fis li yo yon kote pou masak, akoz inikite a papa yo. Konsa pou yo pa leve pran posesyon latè e ranpli sifas mond lan ak gwo vil.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and scion and descendant, saith Jehovah.
“Mwen va leve kont yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. “Mwen va koupe retire yo nèt de non Babylone ak desandan yo de sila ki fèt ak sila ki gen pou vini yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
23 And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Anplis, M ap fè l tounen yon marekaj pou kochon mawon yo. Mwen va bale li ak bale destriksyon an,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
24 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn saying, Assuredly as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, it shall stand:
SENYÈ dèzame yo fin sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, jan ke Mwen te fè plan an, se konsa li va rive! Jan ke M te planifye a, se konsa l ap kanpe!
25 to break the Assyrian in my land; and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Pou M kraze Assyrie nan peyi Mwen an e pou M foule li sou mòn Mwen yo. Konsa jouk li va retire sou yo e gwo chaj li va sòti sou zepòl yo.
26 This is the counsel which is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand which is stretched out upon all the nations.
Sa se plan a ki te fòme kont tout tè a. Sa se men ki lonje kont tout nasyon yo.
27 For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate [it]? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te fè yon plan e se kilès ki ka anpeche l? Epi pou men lonje pa l la, se kilès ki ka fè l fè bak?”
28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:
Nan ane Wa Achaz te mouri an, Pwofesi sa a te fèt:
29 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
Pa rejwi, O Peyi Filisten yo, nou tout, akoz baton ki te konn frape ou a fin kase. Soti nan rasin sèpan an, yon vipè va vin parèt, k ap fè kon fwi, yon sèpan k ap vole.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; but I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Premyè nè malere a va manje byen, e endijan an va kouche ansekirite. Mwen va detwi rasin pa ou ak gwo grangou, e anplis l ap touye sila ki te chape yo.
31 Howl, O gate! cry, O city! thou, Philistia, art wholly dissolved; for there cometh from the north a smoke, and none remaineth apart in his gatherings [of troops].
Rele anmwey, O pòtay la! Kriye fò, O Gran Vil la! Fann nèt, O Filistia, nou tout! Paske lafimen ap sòti nan nò e nanpwen moun k ap fè reta. Lennmi a kwense nou nèt.
32 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and the afflicted of his people find refuge in it.
Alò, kòman yon moun ka reponn mesaje a nasyon yo? Ke se SENYÈ a ki te etabli Sion, e aflije a pèp Li yo va chache sekou nan li.
