< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And when King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes and put on sackecloth, and came into the house of the Lord,
Lè wa Ezekyas tande pawòl sa yo, li chire rad sou li tèlman sa te fè l' lapenn, li mete yon rad sak sou li, epi l' al nan tanp Seyè a.
2 And sent Eliakim which was the stewarde of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and the Elders of the Priestes clothed in sackecloth to Isaiah the Prophet the sonne of Amoz.
Li voye Elyakim, chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, ak Chebna, sekretè a, ansanm ak chèf prèt yo, bò kote pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Yo tout te gen rad sak sou yo.
3 And they said vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke, and blasphemie: for the childre are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
Men mesaj Ezekyas te ba yo pou Ezayi: —Jodi a se jou malè pou nou! Bondye ap peni nou. Se yon wont pou nou. Nou tankou yon fanm ansent ki deja kase lèzo, men ki pa gen fòs pou li pouse pitit la soti.
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard all the wordes of Rabshakeh, whome the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Wa peyi Lasiri a te voye chèf gad palè li a manke Bondye vivan an dega. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, tande tout jouman sa yo. Se pou l' peni moun ki di pawòl sa yo. Ou menm, lapriyè pou rès moun pèp nou an ki vivan toujou.
5 So the seruants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Lè moun wa Ezekyas yo al jwenn Ezayi,
6 And Isaiah said vnto them, So shall ye say to your master, Thus sayeth the Lord, Be not afraide of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
men repons Ezayi ba yo pou wa Ezekyas: —Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou pa bezwen pè tout pawòl ou tande yo, tout jouman moun wa Lasiri yo di sou mwen.
7 Beholde, I will sende a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne lande: and I will cause him to fall by the sworde in his owne lande.
Mwen pral fè wa Lasiri a tande yon sèl nouvèl, li pral kouri tounen nan peyi l'. Rive li rive, m'ap fè yon moun touye l'.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and founde the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Chèf gad palè a te vin konnen wa Lasiri a te pati kite Lakis pou l' t al atake lavil Libna. Se la l' al jwenn wa a,
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: he therefore departed and sent other messengers vnto Hezekiah, saying,
paske wa a te pran nouvèl Tiraka, wa peyi Letiopi a, t'ap moute vin atake l'. Wa a voye lòt mesaje ankò bò kote Ezekyas.
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, and say, Let not thy God deceiue thee in whome thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be deliuered into the hande of the King of Asshur.
Li di yo: —Men mesaj n'a bay Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pou mwen. Ou mèt tande Bondye ou la, Bondye ou fè konfyans la, di ou Jerizalèm p'ap tonbe nan men wa Lasiri a, pa kite l' twonpe ou.
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all landes, how they haue destroyed them: and shalt thou be deliuered?
Ou te pran nouvèl sa wa Lasiri yo te fè tout lòt peyi anvan ou yo. Yo te soti pou detwi yo nèt. Atò, se ou menm ki pou ta chape anba men m!
12 Haue the gods of the heathen deliuered them which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were in Thelasar?
Lè zansèt mwen yo te touye dènye moun nan lavil Gozan, nan lavil Aran, nan lavil Rezèf ak dènye moun Betedenn yo ki rete lavil Telasa, èske bondye nasyon sa yo te delivre yo?
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Shepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
Kote wa lavil Amak la, wa lavil Apad la, wa lavil Sefarayim lan, wa lavil Ena a ak wa lavil Iva a?
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hande of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went vp into the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
Ezekyas pran lèt la nan men mesaje yo, li li l'. Apre sa, li pati al nan tanp lan, li mete lèt la devan lotèl Seyè a.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and saide, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
Epi li lapriyè Seyè a, li di l' konsa: —Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm ki chita sou fotèy zanj cheriben yo ap pote sou zepòl yo a, se ou menm sèl Bondye k'ap gouvènen tout peyi sou latè. Se ou menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
16 Lord, bow downe thine eare, and heare: Lord open thine eyes and behold, and heare the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
Panche zòrèy ou non, Seyè, pou ou tande. Louvri je ou pou ou wè. Koute pawòl Senakerib voye di m', pawòl ki manke Bondye vivan an dega!
17 Trueth it is, Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed the nations and their landes,
Nou konnen, Seyè, wa peyi Lasiri yo te fini ak anpil nasyon, yo te detwi peyi yo.
18 And haue set fire on their gods: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood and stone: therefore they destroyed them.
Yo te boule tout bondye yo paske se pa t' bondye yo te ye. Se estati fèt an bwa ak an wòch moun te fè ak men yo. Se poutèt sa yo te rive detwi yo.
19 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, saue thou vs out of his hande, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou, O Lord, art onely God.
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, tanpri, delivre nou anba men Senakerib, pou tout nasyon ki sou latè ka konnen se ou menm sèl, Seyè, ki Bondye.
20 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I haue heard that which thou hast prayed me, concerning Saneherib King of Asshur.
Lè sa a, Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, voye mesaj sa a bay Ezekyas: —Ou te lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a. Men repons li voye ba ou.
21 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, O Virgine, daughter of Zion, he hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: O daughter of Ierusalem, he hath shaken his head at thee.
Men pawòl Seyè a di sou Senakerib: Lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an ap ri ou, l'ap pase ou nan rizib. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rele chalbari dèyè ou.
22 Whome hast thou railed on? and whome hast thou blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the Holie one of Israel.
Ki moun ou konprann ou derespekte, ou joure konsa? Sou ki moun ou pale fò konsa? Ki moun w'ap klere je ou gade konsa? Se sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
23 By thy messengers thou hast rayled on the Lord, and said, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the toppe of the mountaines, by the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe into the lodging of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
Ou voye moun ou yo vin manke Bondye dega. Ou deklare: O wi, avèk tout kalite cha lagè m' yo, mwen moute sou tèt tout mòn, ata sou tèt mòn Liban an. Mwen koupe pi gwo pye sèd li yo, pi bèl pye rezen li yo. Mwen rive jouk anwo nèt sou tèt li, nan mitan rakbwa li yo ki tankou bèl jaden.
24 I haue digged, and drunke the waters of others, and with the plant of my feete haue I dried all the floods closed in.
Mwen fouye pi nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen bwè dlo. Mwen cheche dlo nan tout larivyè Lejip yo pou sòlda mwen yo pase san pye yo pa mouye.
25 Hast thou not heard, howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I nowe bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
Ou pa t' konnen gen lontan depi mwen te fè lide pou tou sa te rive? Gen lontan depi sa te nan tèt mwen? Koulye a, mwen kite sa rive, pou m' te ka kraze tout lavil ak ranpa yo pou fè yo tounen yon pil demoli.
26 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afraid, and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field, and greene herbe, or grasse on ye house toppes, or as corne blasted before it be growen.
Moun ki te rete la te san fòs. Yo te pè, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo fè. Yo te tankou raje nan jaden, tankou zèb gazon, tankou raje k'ap pouse sou do kay, tankou pye mayi ki cheche anvan li mete zepi.
27 I knowe thy dwelling, yea, thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy furie against me.
Mwen konnen lè ou leve, mwen konnen lè ou chita. Mwen konnen lè ou soti, mwen konnen lè ou antre. Mwen pran nouvèl jan ou fin anraje sou mwen.
28 And because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vp to mine eares, I will put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lippes, and will bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
Koulye a, mwen vin konnen jan ou move sou mwen, jan ou vin awogan. Se poutèt sa, mwen mete yon fè won nan bwa nen ou, ak yon mò nan bouch ou. Mwen pral fè ou pran menm chimen ou te pran pou vini an pou ou tounen.
29 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such things as growe of them selues, and the next yeere such as growe without sowing, and the third yeere sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyardes, and eate the fruites thereof.
Apre sa, Izayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: —Men sa ki pral sèvi yon siy pou ou. Lanne sa a, n'a manje rès grenn ki te tonbe atè. Lanne k'ap vin apre sa a, n'a manje grenn nou pa t' plante. Men, apre sa ankò, n'a ka plante, n'a ka fè rekòt. N'a plante pye rezen, n'a manje rezen.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downewarde, and beare fruite vpwarde.
Rès moun peyi Jida ki va chape yo va pran pye. Y'a kanpe ankò.
31 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and some that shall escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
Va gen yon ti rès moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak sou mòn Siyon an ki va chape. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè sa, paske li renmen ou anpil.
32 Wherefore thus saith the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrowe there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it:
Men sa Seyè a di sou wa peyi Lasiri a: Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Li p'ap gen tan voye yon sèl grenn flèch sou li. P'ap gen yon sèl sòlda ak plak pwotèj k'ap pwoche bò kote l'. Ni yo p'ap fouye twou pou sènen l'.
33 But he shall returne the way he came, and shall not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
Chemen li te pran pou l' vini an, se li menm l'ap pran pou l' tounen. Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a menm, ki di sa.
34 For I will defende this citie to saue it for mine owne sake, and for Dauid my seruants sake.
M'ap pwoteje lavil sa a. M'ap delivre l' pou m' fè respè tèt mwen, pou m' kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, sèvitè m' lan.
35 And the same night the Angell of the Lord went out and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth foure score and fiue thousande: so when they rose earely in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, zanj Seyè a al nan kan moun Lasiri yo, li touye sankatrevensenk mil (185.000) sòlda. Nan maten, lè moun leve se kadav yo ase yo jwenn. Yo tout te mouri.
36 So Saneherib King of Asshur departed, and went his way, and returned, and dwelt in Nineueh.
Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, leve, li pati, li tounen lavil Neniv.
37 And as he was in the Temple worshipping Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sworde: and they escaped into the land of Ararat, and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
Yon jou, antan wa a t'ap fè sèvis nan tanp Niswòk, bondye li a, de nan pitit gason l' yo touye l' ak nepe yo, epi yo kouri al kache nan peyi Arara. Yo te rele Adramelèk ak Sarezè. Se yon lòt nan pitit gason li yo ki te rele Asaradon ki moute wa nan plas li.
