Isaiah 34
1 Come close, you nations, and listen! You peoples, pay attention! Hear these words everyone who lives on earth, and all that comes from 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 The Lord's anger is against all the nations and his fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them; he will have them slaughtered.
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 Those who are killed won't be buried; the stink of their bodies will rise; mountains will be washed away 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 The sun, moon, and stars of heaven will fade away, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll. All the stars will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine, like dried-up figs from a 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 After my sword has finished what it has to do in the heavens, it will come down on Edom, on the people I have doomed for destruction.
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 the Lord is coated in blood and covered with fat—the blood of lambs and goats, and the fat of rams' kidneys. For there is a sacrifice for Lord happening in Bozrah, 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 Wild ox will fall with them, the young bulls along with the mature ones. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil soaked with fat.
Moun pral mouri tankou gwo towo bèf mawon ak jenn ti towo. Tè a pral plen san, li pral kouvri ak grès.
8 For the Lord has a day of punishment, a year of retribution, for the trouble caused to 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 Edom's streams will be turned into tar, its soil into sulfur, and her land will become burning tar!
Tout dlo larivyè nan peyi Edon pral tounen goudwon. Pousyè tè a ap tounen souf. Tout peyi a pral boule tankou goudwon.
10 The fire will burn day and night, and will never go out, its smoke will rise forever. From one generation to the next it will remain desolate—people won't ever go there again.
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 The desert owl and screech owl will take it over, and the eagle owl and raven will live there. The Lord will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of destruction and a plumb line of desolation.
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 Its nobles won't have anything to call a kingdom; all its princes will be gone.
P'ap gen grannèg pou chwazi wa ankò pou gouvènen peyi a, tout chèf yo ap disparèt.
13 Thorns will grow over its palaces; weeds and thistles will take over its fortresses. It will be a place where jackals live, a home for owls.
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 It will be a meeting place for desert animals and hyenas, and wild goats will call to each other there. Night animals will settle there and find a place to 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 the owl will build its nest, lay and hatch its eggs, and raise its chicks in the shade of its wings. It has become a roost for birds of prey, each one with its mate.
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 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read what it says: Not a single one of these will be missing its mate, for the Lord has ordered this to happen, and his Spirit has gathered them together.
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 He assigns them their territories, he divides up the land for them using a measuring line. These birds and animals will own it forever, from one generation to the next.
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.
