< Isaiah 34 >
1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of it.
Nou menm moun tout nasyon yo, pwoche pou n' koute! Tout pèp sou latè, louvri zòrèy nou! Se pou tout moun ansanm ak tout bagay ki sou latè yo koute!
2 For the wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and [his] fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Seyè a fache sou tout nasyon yo nèt, ansanm ak lame sòlda yo. Li kondannen yo tout pou yo mouri, pou yo touye yo tankou bèt y'ap ofri pou touye pou li.
3 And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Yo p'ap antere kadav moun mouri yo. Y'ap kite yo pouri santi. Tout mòn yo pral wouj ak san.
4 And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered [fruit] from the fig-tree.
Tou sa ki nan syèl la, solèy, lalin ak zetwal yo, pral disparèt. Yo pral woule syèl la tankou yon woulo papye pote ale. Tou sa ki nan syèl la pral tonbe tankou fèy pye rezen ak fèy pye fig frans lè y'ap jete fèy.
5 For my sword is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment.
Nan syèl la, nepe Seyè a mande san. Men l'ap desann sou peyi Edon an pou l' pini moun mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te kondannen pou mouri.
6 The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Nepe Seyè a pral benyen ak san yo tankou san mouton ak san bouk yo touye pou li. Li pral kouvri ak grès tankou grès wonyon belye yo touye pou li. Yo pral fè yon ofrann bèt pou Seyè a lavil Bozra. Yo pral fè yon gwo masak nan peyi Edon.
7 And the buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Moun pral mouri tankou gwo towo bèf mawon ak jenn ti towo. Tè a pral plen san, li pral kouvri ak grès.
8 For it is the day of Jehovah's vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
Paske, se jou Seyè a pral pran revanj li sou lènmi peyi Siyon yo. Se jou li pral fè yo peye sa yo te fè a, pou l' ka delivre moun Siyon yo.
9 And the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch:
Tout dlo larivyè nan peyi Edon pral tounen goudwon. Pousyè tè a ap tounen souf. Tout peyi a pral boule tankou goudwon.
10 it shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
L'ap boule lajounen kou lannwit. Lafimen pral soti ladan l' tout tan san rete. Tè a ap tounen savann pou tout tan tout tan. Moun p'ap janm pase la ankò.
11 And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness.
Se la koukou ak frize pral fè nich yo. Se la kaou ak malfini pral rete. Seyè a pral fè l' tounen yon dezè san anyen ladan li.
12 Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought.
P'ap gen grannèg pou chwazi wa ankò pou gouvènen peyi a, tout chèf yo ap disparèt.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and it shall be a dwelling-place of wild dogs, a court for ostriches.
Pikan pral pouse nan tout palè l' yo, kwòkachen ak chadwon pral pouse nan tout fò yo. Se la chen mawon pral rete. Se la otrich pral fè nich yo.
14 And there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest.
Bèt k'ap viv nan dezè yo pral kontre ak chen mawon. Mal yo, yonn pral rele lòt. Se la lagrandyab la pral rete. Se la l'a jwenn yon kote pou l' poze kò l'.
15 There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another.
Se la koulèv pral fè nich yo, se la y'ap ponn. Se la y'ap kouve ze yo, se la y'ap okipe pitit yo. Se la malfini karanklou yo pral sanble.
16 Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.
Ale gade nan liv Bondye a. Li sa ki ladan l'. Pa manke yon sèl nan tout bèt li kreye yo. Yo yonn pa pèdi parèy yo. Se Seyè a menm ki bay lòd sa a. Se lespri li k'ap mete yo ansanm yonn ak lòt.
17 For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
Se li menm menm ki pral separe tè a ba yo chak pòsyon pa yo. Y'ap rete nan peyi a pou tout tan. Peyi a va rele yo pa yo jouk sa kaba.
