Isaiah 24
1 Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
Gade byen, SENYÈ a va devaste tout latè ak gwo destriksyon, boulvèse sifas li e gaye tout moun ki rete ladann.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.
Pèp la menm jan ak prèt la, sèvitè a tankou mèt li, sèvant lan tankou mètrès li, sa k ap achte tankou sa k ap vann, sila k ap fè prè a tankou sila k ap prete a, sila ki resevwa kredi a tankou sila k ap bay kredi a.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
Latè va devaste nèt e vin depouye, paske SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa a.
4 The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
Latè kriye ak doulè e vin fennen nèt. Sila ki egzalte wo sou moun latè yo vin disparèt.
5 And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
Anplis, latè vin plen ak pouriti a moun k ap viv ladann, paske yo te transgrese lalwa yo, vyole règleman yo, e te kraze akò letènèl la.
6 Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.
Akoz sa, yon malediksyon devore latè a, e sila ki rete ladann yo vin twouve koupab. Konsa, sila ki rete sou latè yo vin brile e se sèl kèk grenn moun ki rete.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;
Diven nèf la fèb. Chan rezen an gate. Tout kè kontan yo fè gwo plent.
8 the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Kè kontan a tanbouren yo vin rete, bri a moun k ap fete yo vin sispann.
9 They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
Yo pa bwè diven ak chanson; bwason fò yo vin anmè pou sila ki bwè l yo.
10 The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.
Vil gwo dezòd la vin kraze nèt. Tout kay vin fèmen pou pèsòn pa antre.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;
Gen gwo kriye nan lari a pou afè diven. Tout kè kontan vire an gwo tristès.
12 desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.
Se dezolasyon ki rete nan vil la e pòtay la fin kraze nèt.
13 For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.
Paske se konsa l ap ye nan mitan latè a pami pèp yo; tankou lè bwa doliv souke fò, tankou sila ki ranmase apre rekòlt rezen an fin fèt yo.
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Yo leve vwa yo; yo kriye ak kè kontan. Yo kriye soti nan lwès akoz majeste SENYÈ a.
15 Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.
Pou sa, bay glwa a SENYÈ a nan lès, non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan peyi kot lanmè yo.
16 From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
Soti nan dènye pwent latè, nou tande chan yo: “Glwa a Sila Ki Dwat la,” men mwen di: “Malè a mwen menm! Malè a mwen menm! Elas pou mwen! Moun trèt yo aji an trèt e moun trèt yo aji an trèt anpil.”
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.
Gwo laperèz, twou fòs ak pèlen vin devan nou menm ki rete sou latè.
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.
Konsa, li va rive ke sila ki sove ale lè l tande gwo dega a va vin tonbe nan fòs la, e sila ki rale kò l sòti nan fòs la va pran nan pèlen an; paske fenèt anlè yo vin louvri e fondasyon latè yo ap tranble.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.
Latè vin dechire. Latè vin fann nèt. Latè souke ak vyolans.
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.
Latè woule de bò tankou moun ki anba gwòg. Li pyete tankou vye kay pay. Akoz transgresyon li yo peze lou sou li, li va tonbe nèt pou l pa janm leve ankò.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Li va rive nan jou sa a ke SENYÈ a va pini lame syèl anwo yo ak wa latè sou latè yo.
22 And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Yo va ranmase ansanm tankou prizonye nan yon kacho e yo va fèmen nan prizon. Apre anpil jou, yo va pini.
23 And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
Konsa, lalin nan va vin twouble e solèy la va vin wont, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo va renye sou Mòn Sion ak Jérusalem, e laglwa Li va devan ansyen Li yo.
