Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, shalt not thou thyself also be spoiled? and thou that despisest, shalt not thyself also be despised? when thou shalt have made an end of spoiling, thou shalt be spoiled: when being wearied thou shalt cease to despise, thou shalt be despised.
Malè a ou menm, O ou ki detwi lòt pandan ou pa t detwi; epi sila ki fè trèt pandan lòt moun pa t aji an trèt avè w. Depi ou fin detwi, ou osi va vin detwi nèt. Depi ou fin fè trèt, lòt moun va fè trèt kont ou.
2 O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
O SENYÈ, fè nou gras. Nou t ap tann Ou. Sèvi kon fòs pa nou chak maten, delivrans pa nou nan tan gwo twoub.
3 At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
Lè bri zen an vin leve, pèp yo sove ale. Lè Ou fè leve Ou menm, nasyon yo gaye.
4 And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.
Piyaj pa W va ranmase tankou cheni ranmase. Tankou krikèt volan konn vòltije, se konsa y ap vòltije sou li.
5 The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.
SENYÈ a leve wo, paske se anwo ke Li rete. Li te ranpli Sion ak jistis ak ladwati.
6 And there shall be faith in thy times: riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Se Li k ap fè tan pa nou estab, richès a delivrans, sajès ak konesans. Lakrent SENYÈ a se trezò ou.
7 Behold they that see shall cry without, the angels of peace shall weep bitterly.
Gade byen, mesye pwisan pa yo, kriye nan lari, anbasadè lapè yo kriye fò.
8 The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.
Gran chemen yo rete vid. Moun ki vwayaje yo sispann. Li te kase akò a. Li te meprize vil yo. Li pa respekte pèsòn.
9 The land hath mourned, and languished: Libanus is confounded and become foul, and Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and Carmel are shaken.
Peyi a kriye ak doulè, ak kè fennen. Liban vin wont e tanme disparèt. Saron vin tankou yon dezè e Basan ak Carmel pèdi tout fèyaj.
10 Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
“Koulye a, Mwen va leve”, SENYÈ a di: “Koulye a Mwen va egzalte. Koulye a Mwen va leve wo.
11 You shall conceive heat, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath as fire shall devour you.
Nou te ansent pay, e nou va akouche pay. Souf Mwen va manje nou tankou dife.
12 And the people shall be as ashes after a fire, as a bundle of thorns they shall be burnt with fire.
Pèp yo va brile kon lacho, tankou pikan koupe ki fin brile nan dife a.”
13 Hear, you that are far off, what I have done, and you that are near know my strength.
“Nou menm ki lwen yo, koute sa ke M te fè a; epi nou menm ki toupre, rekonèt pwisans Mwen.”
14 The sinners in Sion are afraid, trembling hath seized upon the hypocrites. Which of you can dwell with devouring fire? which of you shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Pechè Sion yo vin sezi ak laperèz; tranbleman fin sezi enkwayan yo. Se kilès pami nou ki ka viv ak yon dife ki manje tout bagay? “Se kilès nan nou ki ka viv ak dife k ap brile tou tan an?”
15 He that walketh in justices, and speaketh truth, that casteth away avarice by oppression, and shaketh his hands from all bribes, that stoppeth his ears lest he hear blood, and shutteth his eyes that he may see no evil.
Sila ki mache nan ladwati a e ki pale ak kè sensè a? Sila ki refize benefis lajan ki sòti nan enjistis la, e ki souke men l pou sa ki vèse anba tab pa rete nan yo; sila ki bouche zòrèy li pou l pa menm tande afè vèse san, e ki fèmen zye l pou l pa gade mal.
16 He shall dwell on high, the fortifications of rocks shall be his highness: bread is given him, his waters are sure.
Li va demere nan wotè yo; pwotèj pa li va nan wòch solid ke lènmi yo pa ka pwoche. Pen li va vèse bay li, e dlo li va asire.
17 His eyes shall see the king in his beauty, they shall see the land far off.
Zye nou va wè Wa a nan tout bèlte Li. Yo va wè yon peyi ki byen lwen.
18 Thy heart shall meditate fear: where is the learned? where is he that pondereth the words of the law? where is the teacher of little ones?
Kè ou va medite sou gwo laperèz la. “Kote sila ki te konte a? Kote sila ki te peze a? Kote sila ki te konte fò yo?”
19 The shameless people thou shalt not see, the people of profound speech: so that thou canst not understand the eloquence of his tongue, in whom there is no wisdom.
Ou p ap ankò wè yon pèp fewòs, yon pèp ak langaj dwòl ke ou pa konprann, a lang bege ke pèsòn pa konprann.
20 Look upon Sion the city of our solemnity: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem, a rich habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed: neither shall the nails thereof be taken away for ever, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken:
Gade sou Sion, gran vil a gwo fèt dezinye yo. Zye ou va wè Jérusalem, yon abitasyon san twoub, yon tant ki p ap bezwen pliye. Pikèt li p ap janm rache, ni kòd li yo p ap chire.
21 Because only there our Lord is magnificent: it place of rivers, very broad and spacious streams: no ship with oars shall pass by it, neither shall the great galley pass through it.
Men la, SENYÈ va avèk nou nan majeste, yon kote ak rivyè ak gwo kanal, sou sila gwo kannòt ak anpil zaviwon p ap janm pase, ni gwo bato p ap janm pase la.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king: he will save us.
Paske SENYÈ a se jij nou. Se SENYÈ a ki bay lwa nou yo. Se SENYÈ a ki wa nou. Se Li menm ki va sove nou.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no strength: thy mast shall be in such condition, that thou shalt not be able to spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall take the spoil.
Kòd vwal nou yo vin lach. Yo p at ka soutini baz ma bato a byen, ni kenbe vwal la gran ouvri. Alò, piyaj la a gwo boutin nan te divize. Sila ki bwate a te pran piyaj la.
24 Neither shall he that is near, say: I am feeble. The people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity taken away from them.
Pèp peyi a pa p di: “Mwen malad”. Moun ki rete la yo va padone pou inikite yo.
