Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
Pwofesi konsènan Babylon ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè a.
2 Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
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 sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
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 in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
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 To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, 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 ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
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 faint, 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 shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
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 the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to 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 heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
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 visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
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 A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
Mwen va fè lòm mòtèl la vin pi ra pase lò san tach, e limanite ke lò Ophir.
13 For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
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 they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to 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 Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, 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 Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be 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 shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
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 But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
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 that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
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 no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest 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 wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones 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 owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
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.
