Isaiah 14
1 But the Lord will be merciful to the descendants of Jacob. Once again he will choose Israel and he will bring them back to live once more in their own land. Foreigners will come and join them there, and they will unite with the descendants of Jacob.
SENYÈ a va ankò gen konpasyon sou Jacob, pou l chwazi Israël ankò e fè yo rete nan pwòp peyi yo. Etranje yo va vin jwenn ak yo e atache yo menm a kay Jacob la.
2 Nations will go with them and escort them to their own land. The foreigners who stay in the Lord's land will serve the Israelites. In this way the captors become their captives, and they rule over their former oppressors.
Yo va mennen yo fè yo vini nan plas yo, e lakay Israël va posede yo nan peyi SENYÈ a, kon sèvant ak sèvitè. Konsa, yo va pran sila ki te pran yo kaptif yo, yo va kaptire yo e vin mèt sou sila ki te oprime yo.
3 At that time the Lord will give you relief from your pain and trouble, and from the hard labor you were forced to do.
Li va rive nan jou lè SENYÈ a ba ou repò sou doulè ou, twoub ou ak redi di nan sila ou te vin esklav la,
4 You will mock the king of Babylon, saying, “How your oppressive rule has been ended, and your insolence stopped!
Ke ou va pran chante sa a kont wa Babylon nan epi di: “Gade kijan opresè a vin sispann! Gwo twoub la pa la ankò!”
5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the rulers' scepter.
SENYÈ a fin kase baton a mechan an, baton a wa yo
6 You kept on furiously hitting foreign peoples without stopping, and aggressively ruled nations with unrestrained persecution.
ki te konn frape pèp la ak gran kolè, ak kou san rete, ki te soumèt nasyon yo ak gwo kòlè ak gwo pèsekisyon san fren.
7 Now the whole earth rests peacefully, and everyone starts celebrating!
Tout latè gen repo e rete kalm. Yo eklate ak chante kè kontan yo.
8 The cypress and cedar trees are glad you're gone. They sing, ‘Since you were cut down no woodcutters are coming to cut us down!’
Menm bwa siprè yo rejwi sou ou e bwa sèd Liban yo ap di: “Paske ou te bese ou, pa gen moun ki koupe bwa k ap monte kont nou.
9 Those in the grave beneath are keen to meet you when you arrive. It wakes the spirits of the dead to welcome you, those of all the rulers of the earth. All the kings of the nations stand up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
Sejou mò a depi anba, gen kè kontan sou ou, pou l ka rankontre ou lè ou vini. Li leve menm pou ou lespri mò yo, tout chèf sou tout latè yo. Li fè leve tout wa a tout nasyon yo soti nan twòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all speak up and tell you, ‘So you too are as weak as we are—you've become just like us!
Yo tout va reponn epi mande ou: ‘Ou menm, èske ou vin fèb tankou nou? Èske ou vini tankou nou?’
11 Your pride is now buried with you in the grave, along with the harp music you loved. Maggots are the bed you lie on, and worms are your blanket.’ (Sheol h7585)
Tout gwo bagay fèt ou ak mizik ap ou yo fin desann rive nan sejou mò yo. Se vè ki fè kabann anba ou e se vè k ap kouvri ou.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Morning star, son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven! Destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground!
Kòman ou te tonbe soti nan syèl la, O zetwal granmmaten an! Ou te koupe ra tè; ou menm ki te detwi tout nasyon yo!
13 You said to yourself: ‘I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mountain of meeting, the summit of the northern mountain.
Men nan kè ou, ou te di: “Mwen va monte jis rive nan syèl la! Mwen va fè leve twòn mwen piwo zetwal Bondye yo! Mwen va chita sou mòn asanble a nan fon nò yo!
14 I will ascend to the high places above the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
Mwen va monte piwo nwaj yo! Mwen va fè mwen menm tankou Pi Wo a!”
Sepandan, ou va pouse desann nan Sejou mò yo, kote fon a gwo fòs la ye a. (Sheol h7585)
16 Those who see you will stare at you, examining you closely, asking, ‘Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble?
Sila ki wè ou va fikse zye sou ou. Yo va reflechi sou ou pou di: “Èske se nonm sila a ki te fè tè a tranble a, ki te souke wayòm yo?
17 Is this the one who turned the world into a desert, destroyed cities, and never let his prisoners return home?’
Ki te fè mond lan tankou yon dezè a, ki te boulvèse gwo vil li yo, ki te refize kite prizonye li yo ale lakay yo?”
18 All the other kings of the nations lie in splendor in their great mausoleums.
Tout wa sou latè yo kouche nan glwa yo, yo chak nan pwòp tonbo pa yo.
19 But you are thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, buried underneath the bodies of those killed by the sword. You are like a corpse trodden underfoot. You are tossed into a pit full of rocks—
Men ou menm, ou te jete deyò tonbo pa ou a, tankou yon branch rejte, abiye ak sila ki te touye yo, ki te pèse ak nepe yo, ki te desann kote wòch a fòs la tankou yon kadav, kraze foule ak pye.
20 you will not be buried like those other kings because you destroyed your own land and killed your own people. The descendants of those who do evil will never survive.
Ou p ap reyini ak yo nan antèman, akoz ou te detwi peyi ou a. Ou te touye pèp ou a. Konsa, non desandan a malfektè sila yo pa p nonmen jis pou tout tan!
21 Get ready to execute his sons because of their fathers' sins. Don't let them take over the earth; don't let them fill the whole world with their cities.
Prepare pou fis li yo yon kote pou masak, akoz inikite a papa yo. Konsa pou yo pa leve pran posesyon latè e ranpli sifas mond lan ak gwo vil.
22 I will come and attack them, declares the Lord Almighty. I will destroy everything: their reputation, those who remain, their children, and their descendants, says the Lord.
“Mwen va leve kont yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. “Mwen va koupe retire yo nèt de non Babylone ak desandan yo de sila ki fèt ak sila ki gen pou vini yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
23 I will make Babylon into a place for water birds and into marshland. I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.”
“Anplis, M ap fè l tounen yon marekaj pou kochon mawon yo. Mwen va bale li ak bale destriksyon an,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn an oath: It will be as I have planned. It will happen as I have decided.
SENYÈ dèzame yo fin sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, jan ke Mwen te fè plan an, se konsa li va rive! Jan ke M te planifye a, se konsa l ap kanpe!
25 I will smash the Assyrians when they are in my country Israel; I will trample them underfoot on my mountains. I will remove their yoke from my people, and take away the burdens they place on my people's shoulders.
Pou M kraze Assyrie nan peyi Mwen an e pou M foule li sou mòn Mwen yo. Konsa jouk li va retire sou yo e gwo chaj li va sòti sou zepòl yo.
26 This is the plan I have made regarding the whole earth; my hand stretches out to control all the nations.
Sa se plan a ki te fòme kont tout tè a. Sa se men ki lonje kont tout nasyon yo.
27 The Lord Almighty has made his plan, and who will block it? His hand stretches out, and who will push back against it?
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te fè yon plan e se kilès ki ka anpeche l? Epi pou men lonje pa l la, se kilès ki ka fè l fè bak?”
28 The following message came in the year King Ahaz died.
Nan ane Wa Achaz te mouri an, Pwofesi sa a te fèt:
29 All you Philistines, don't celebrate the fact that the rod that was hitting you is broken, because from the root of that snake will grow up a viper, its fruit will be a flying serpent.
Pa rejwi, O Peyi Filisten yo, nou tout, akoz baton ki te konn frape ou a fin kase. Soti nan rasin sèpan an, yon vipè va vin parèt, k ap fè kon fwi, yon sèpan k ap vole.
30 The poor will have food, and the needy will live in safety, but you Philistines will die in a famine, and I will kill those who survive.
Premyè nè malere a va manje byen, e endijan an va kouche ansekirite. Mwen va detwi rasin pa ou ak gwo grangou, e anplis l ap touye sila ki te chape yo.
31 Howl, gates! Weep, town! Melt away in feat, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke is approaching from the north—an army with no soldier hanging back.
Rele anmwey, O pòtay la! Kriye fò, O Gran Vil la! Fann nèt, O Filistia, nou tout! Paske lafimen ap sòti nan nò e nanpwen moun k ap fè reta. Lennmi a kwense nou nèt.
32 What will be the answer given to the messengers from that nation? “The Lord was the one who laid the foundations of Zion, and that's where his suffering people will be kept safe.”
Alò, kòman yon moun ka reponn mesaje a nasyon yo? Ke se SENYÈ a ki te etabli Sion, e aflije a pèp Li yo va chache sekou nan li.
