< Isaiah 16 >
1 Send forth, O Lord, the lamb, the ruler of the earth, from Petra of the desert, to the mount of the daughter of Sion.
Voye mouton tribi a bay gouvènè peyi a, soti nan Sela pa wout dezè a, jis rive nan mòn a fi Sion an.
2 And it shall come to pass, that as a bird fleeing away, and as young ones flying out of the nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be in the passage of Arnon.
Li va rive ke tankou zwazo k ap sove ale, oswa k ap gaye sòti nan nich yo, fi Moab yo va parèt kote pou janbe Arnon an.
3 Take counsel, gather a council: make thy shadow as the night in the midday: hide them that flee, and betray not them that wander about.
“Bannou konsèy! Fè yon desizyon! Voye lonbraj ou tankou lannwit nan gran lajounen! Kache sila ki san abri yo! Pa trayi refijye a!
4 My fugitives shall dwell with thee: O Moab, be thou a covert to them from the face of the destroyer: for the dust is at an end, the wretch is consumed: he hath failed, that trod the earth under foot.
Kite refijye Moab yo rete avè w! Devni yon kote pou yo kache kont destriktè a.” Paske opresè yo p ap reyisi. Destriksyon an va sispann. Opresè ap disparèt nèt nan peyi a.
5 And a throne shall be prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.
Yon twòn va etabli avèk lanmou dous, e yon jij va chita ak fidelite sou li nan tant David la. Li va chache jistis e va fè vit pou etabli ladwati.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his pride and his arrogancy, and his indignation is more than his strength.
Nou konn tande afè ògèy Moab la, yon ògèy ki depase; afè awogans li an, ògèy li a, ak gwo kòlè li a. Pawòl anfle ògèy li pa anyen.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl to Moab, every one shall howl: to them that rejoice upon the brick walls, tell ye their stripes.
Pou sa, Moab va rele anmwey; tout sila nan Moab yo va plenyen anlè. Ou va plenyen pou gato rezen a Kir-Haréseth kon sila konplètman frape yo.
8 For the suburbs of Hesebon are desolate, and the lords of the nations have destroyed the vineyard of Sabama: the branches thereof have reached even to Jazer: they have wandered in the wilderness, the branches thereof are left, they are gone over the sea.
Paske chan a Hesbon yo te fennen, ansanm ak chan rezen a Sibma yo. Mèt nasyon yo te kraze gwo grap ki te pi chwazi li yo, ki te rive jis Jaezer e te lonje kote dezè yo. Branch li yo te gaye nèt e te menm pase lòtbò lanmè a.
9 Therefore I will lament with the weeping of Jazer the vineyard of Sabama: I will water thee with my tears, O Hesebon, and Eleale: for the voice of the treaders hath rushed in upon thy vintage, and upon thy harvest.
Pou sa, Mwen va kriye byen fò pou Jaezer, pou chan Sibma a. Mwen va tranpe nou nèt ak dlo k ap sòti nan zye m, O Hesbon ak Élealé, paske sou fwi gran sezon nou yo ak rekòlt nou yo gen gwo lagè.
10 And gladness and joy shall be taken away from Carmel, and there shall be no rejoicing nor shouting in the vineyards. He shall not tread out wine in the press that was wont to tread it out: the voice of the treaders I have taken away.
Kè kontan ak lajwa sou chan fètil la ale. Nan chan rezen yo tou, p ap genyen chante a, ni gwo kri egzaltasyon yo, ni ouvriye k ap foule diven anba pye li nan peze yo. Mwen te fè kriye sa yo sispann.
11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for the brick wall.
Pou sa, kè mwen sone tankou ap pou Moab ak santiman anndan mwen pou Kir-Haréseth.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on his high places, that he shall go in to his sanctuaries to pray, and shall not prevail.
Konsa, li va rive ke lè Moab prezante tèt li, lè l fin fatige kò l sou wo plas li e rive nan sanktiyè li a pou fè lapriyè, li p ap reyisi.
13 This is the word, that the Lord spoke to Moab from that time:
Se pawòl sa a ke SENYÈ a te pale avan sa sou Moab.
14 And now the Lord hath spoken, saying: In three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be taken away for all the multitude of the people, and it shall be left small and feeble, not many.
Men koulye a, SENYÈ a pale e di: “Avan twazan fin rive, jan yon anplwaye ta konte yo, glwa a Moab la va vin degrade ansanm ak tout gwo kantite pèp li a, e retay li va vin piti e san fòs.”
