Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make leagues, but not by my Spirit, that they may heap sin upon sin;
Men sa Seyè a di: -Madichon pou pitit mwen yo k'ap fè tèt di ak mwen! Nan tou sa y'ap fè, se pwòp lide yo y'ap swiv, se pa lide pa m'. Y'ap siyen lòt kontra, atout mwen di yo non. Y'ap fè peche sou peche.
2 who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth, — to take refuge under the protection of Pharaoh, and trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Yo desann al nan peyi Lejip san yo pa mande m' konsèy. Y' al mande farawon an pou l' pwoteje yo, y' al mete kò yo anba zèl peyi Lejip.
3 For to you the protection of Pharaoh shall be a shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt a confusion.
Men, farawon an p'ap ka fè anyen pou nou. Pwoteksyon peyi Lejip la ap tounen yon wont pou nou.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Malgre delege yo gen tan rive lavil Zoan ak lavil Anès,
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] did not profit them, nor were a help or profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
pèp Jida a pral règrèt yo te janm mete konfyans yo nan yon pèp ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo, yon nasyon ki pa ka ni ede yo ni pote yo sekou, yon nasyon k'ap fè yo wont, yon nasyon k'ap ba yo desepsyon.
6 — The burden of the beasts of the south: Through a land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to the people that shall not profit [them].
Men yon mesaj Bondye bay sou bèt nan dezè Negèv yo: -Delege yo ap vwayaje nan yon peyi ki gen anpil danje, kote lyon ak manman lyon rete, kote gen move sèpan ak dragon azèl. Yo chaje bourik yo ak chamo yo avèk kado pou yon nasyon ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
Paske konkou Lejip ap ba yo a p'ap sèvi yo anyen, paske li pa vo anyen, se poutèt sa mwen bay peyi a yon ti non. Mwen rele l': Dragon dan kase a.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
Seyè a di m': -Koulye a al ekri sa moun sa yo ye a sou yon adwaz. Ekri l' nan yon woulo liv, pou sa ka toujou sèvi m' temwen kont yo pou tout tan tout tan.
9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
Yo toujou ap fè tèt di ak Bondye. Se yon bann pitit ki toujou ap bay manti, ki pa vle koute lòd Bondye, Seyè a.
10 who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
Y'ap di divinò yo: Pa di nou vizyon nou fè yo. Y'ap di pwofèt yo: Pa fè nou konnen sa nou dwe fè. Di nou bèl pawòl dous k'ap fè nou plezi. Kite nou ak sa nou kwè a.
11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
Wete kò nou sou bon wout la! Fè sou kote! Pa vin pale nou sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
Se poutèt sa, men sa Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye apa a, ap di: Nou pa vle koute avètisman m'ap ban nou an. Nou pito met konfyans nou nan moun k'ap fè mechanste, nan moun k'ap fè bagay sou kote. Se sou yo nou apiye.
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
Enben, se nou ki va pote chay la. Nou tankou yon miray ki make fann, tankou yon gwo miray byen wo ki gen yon pati ladan l' k'ap souke, ki gonfle prèt pou tonbe. N'ap rete konsa, n'ap tonbe anvan nou bat je nou.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
N'ap tonbe an miyèt moso tankou kannari kraze. P'ap menm gen yon moso ki ka sèvi pou ranmase chabon dife osinon pou al chache dlo nan sous.
15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
Men, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki yon Bondye apa, te di pèp la: Tounen vin jwenn mwen, lèfini ret trankil, n'a delivre. Ret dousman, met konfyans nou nan mwen. Se sa ki tout fòs nou. Men, nou pa t' vle.
16 And ye said, No, but we will flee upon horses, — therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift, — therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Men nou te pito di: Ann moute chwal nou kouri ale. Enben, ale! Ale non! Sove kò nou! Nou te pito di: n'a moute sou chwal ki konn kouri. Men tou, sa k'ap kouri dèyè nou yo pral kouri pi vit pase nou!
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Lè n'a wè yon sèl moun nan lènmi yo, mil nan nou pral kraze rak. Lè n'a wè senk menm, se nou tout k'ap kouri met deyò. Sèl bagay k'ap rete nan lame nou an, se va drapo n'a kite kanpe sou tèt ti mòn lan.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he lift himself up, that he may have mercy upon you; for Jehovah is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Men, Seyè a ap tann lè pou l' fè nou gras. Li tou pare pou l' gen pitye pou nou, paske Seyè a, se yon Bondye k'ap toujou fè sa ki byen! benediksyon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion, at Jerusalem. Thou shalt weep no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; as he heareth it, he will answer thee.
Nou menm ki rete lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Siyon an, nou p'ap kriye ankò. Rele n'a rele l', l'a fè nou gras. Tande l'a tande nou, l'ap reponn nou.
20 And the Lord will give you the bread of adversity, and the water of oppression; yet thy teachers shall not be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Bondye va fè nou manje kont mizè nou, l'a fè nou pase kont tray nou, men l'ap la pou l' moutre nou sa pou l' moutre nou an. N'ap wè l' ak de grenn je nou, nou p'ap bezwen al chache l' ankò.
21 And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
Si nou chankre sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch, n'a tande yon vwa nan do nou k'ap di nou: Men bon chemen an bò isit. Se la a pou ou pase!
22 And ye shall defile the silver covering of your graven images, and the gold overlaying of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou say unto it.
N'a pran estati zidòl nou yo ki kouvri ak ajan ansanm ak lò sou tout kò yo pou bagay k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye, n'ap voye yo jete tankou vye bagay sal, n'a di yo: Soti devan je nou!
23 And he will give the rain of thy seed with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread, the produce of the ground, and it shall be fat and rich. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;
Lè n'a plante grenn nan jaden nou, Bondye va voye lapli pou l' fè yo pouse. L'a fè tè a bay manje k'ap bon nan bouch nou, manje k'ap ban nou fòs. N'a gen kont kote pou nou mennen bèt nou yo al manje.
24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Towo bèf ak bourik k'ap sèvi pou travay tè nou va jwenn bon manje pou yo manje, bon zèb sale y'a vannen epi y'a ranmase ak fouch mete nan depo.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill that is lifted up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Jou y'a kraze fò lènmi nou yo, jou y'a masakre tout lènmi nou yo, sous dlo pral pete nan tout gwo mòn, nan tout ti mòn koule desann.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the wound of their stroke.
Jou Seyè a pral mete renmèd sou kote ki te blese nan pèp la, jou l'ap geri tout kote pèp la te blese a, lalin pral klere tankou solèy, limyè solèy la menm pral sèt fwa pi klere, ou ta di limyè sèt jou mete ansanm. Wi, tou sa pral rive jou Seyè a.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his anger — a grievous conflagration; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a consuming fire;
Pouvwa Bondye a pral vin soti byen lwen. Dife ak lafimen ap fè wè jan li move. L'ap fè kòlè, pawòl li yo tankou boukan dife nan raje.
28 and his breath as an overflowing torrent, which reacheth even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jaws of the peoples, that causeth them to go astray.
Li fè van soufle, ou ta di yon ravin k'ap desann, dlo li rive rabo. L'ap boulvèse nasyon yo jouk li detwi yo, l'ap detounen tout move lide yo te gen nan tèt yo.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a feast is sanctified; and joy of heart, as of one who goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Men, nou menm pèp Bondye a, nou pral chante, nou pral fè fèt tankou nou fè l' lavèy jou fèt nou. Nou pral kontan tankou moun k'ap jwe fif lè yo sou wout pou ale sou mòn Seyè a, Bondye k'ap defann pèp Izrayèl la.
30 And Jehovah will cause the majesty of his voice to be heard, and will shew the lighting down of his arm with indignation of anger, and a flame of consuming fire, with waterflood and storm and hailstones.
Seyè a pral fè tout moun tande fòs vwa li, li pral fè yo santi fòs ponyèt li lè li move. Lè sa a, va gen flanm dife, van siklòn, gwo tanpèt, lapli ak tanpèt lagrèl.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken down: he will smite [him] with the rod.
Moun peyi Lasiri yo pral tranble lè y'a tande vwa Seyè a k'ap ba yo baton.
32 And wherever shall pass the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambours and harps; and with tumultuous battles will he fight with it.
Chak fwa Seyè a va ba yo yon kout baton pou l' pini yo, y'a tande son tanbou ak son gita k'ap jwe nan peyi Izrayèl. Se Seyè a menm ki pral goumen ak moun Lasiri yo.
33 For Topheth is prepared of old; for the king also it is prepared: he hath made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Depi lontan yo te pare yon gwo twou pou dife boukan an. Se ladan l' yo pral boule wa a. Yo fè twou a byen fon, byen laj. Yo plen l' bwa. Seyè a pral soufle yon flanm dife melanje ak souf sou li pou boule l'.
