Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, sou lavil Babilòn:
2 Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.
-Mete yon drapo kanpe sou tèt yon mòn kote pa gen pyebwa menm! Rele byen fò pou sòlda yo pare yo! Leve men ou anlè. Ba yo siyal pou y' al atake pòtay lavil grannèg yo!
3 I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap bay sèvitè m' yo lòd! M'ap rele tout vanyan sòlda mwen yo, tout moun pa m' yo ki gen kè kontan, k'ap mache tèt anlè, pou yo pini moun k'ap fè m' fè kòlè yo.
4 The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell.
Koute yon gwo bri sou mòn yo! Se tankou bri yon gwo foul moun, yon kantite nasyon ak moun tout peyi k'ap sanble. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap fè enspeksyon lame li a anvan y' al goumen.
5 They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land.
Seyè a move, l'ap vini ansanm ak sòlda ki pral fè sa li ba yo lòd fè a. Y'ap soti byen lwen nan lòt peyi ki nan dènye bout latè pou yo vin ravaje tout peyi a.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Nou mèt plenyen kont kò nou, paske jou Seyè a pre rive! Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pral vini pou l' devaste tè a.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
Se poutèt sa, tout moun sou latè pèdi kouraj, kè yo kase!
8 And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.
Y'ap rete konsa, yo pral gen doulè ak lakranp nan tout kò yo. Yo pral tòde tankou fanm ansent ki gen tranche. Yonn ap gade lòt san di krik, y'ap rete ak je yo louvri byen gran tèlman y'a wont.
9 Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.
Jou Seyè a ap rive. Seyè a ap san pitye, l'ap fè gwo kòlè, l'ap move anpil. L'ap fè tè a tounen yon dezè, l'ap disparèt dènye moun k'ap fè sa ki mal!
10 For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.
Tout grenn zetwal nan syèl la, tout zetwal Oryon yo p'ap klere ankò. Solèy la ap tou nwa lè li leve, lalin lan menm p'ap klere ankò.
11 And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè dezolasyon tonbe sou tout latè poutèt mechanste moun yo ap fè. Mwen pral pini tout mechan yo poutèt fòfè y'ap fè yo. Mwen pral kraze lògèy tout moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo. Mwen pral kraze awogans tout mechan k'ap peze moun anba pye yo.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Moun k'ap chape yo ap pi ra pase bon lò, pase bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi.
13 Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Se poutèt sa, jou mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a fè move san an, jou m'a fè gwo kòlè mwen an, m'ap fè syèl la tranble, m'ap fè tè a kite plas kote li ye a.
14 And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.
Lè sa a, moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi Babilòn lan va kouri al lakay yo nan peyi yo, tankou gazèl bèf mawon k'ap kouri pou chasè, tankou mouton san gadò ki gaye nan savann.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Y'ap touye tout moun peyi a y'a kontre sou wout yo, y'ap kraze tout moun peyi a y'a bare sou chemen yo.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
Y'ap krabinen ti pitit yo la devan je yo, y'ap piye kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou madanm yo.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral voye moun peyi Medi yo vin atake yo. Se yon bann moun lajan pa di yo anyen, lò pa tante yo.
18 With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children.
Avèk banza yo, yo pral touye jenn gason. Y'ap san pitye pou timoun fenk fèt. Kè yo p'ap fè yo mal pou timoun piti.
19 And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah.
Lavil Babilòn, se yon bijou. Se li ki pi bèl pase tout peyi. Moun peyi Kalde yo plen lògèy, y'ap fè grandizè poutèt li. Men, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap kraze l' tankou mwen te kraze lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò.
20 It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there.
Moun p'ap janm al rete la ankò. L'ap rete san moun pou tout tan. Moun peyi Arabi k'ap mache nan dezè yo p'ap janm moute tant yo bò la, ni ankenn gadò mouton p'ap janm mennen mouton yo vin manje bò la.
21 But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there.
Se la tout bèt nan bwa pral rete. Koukou pral fè nich nan tout kay yo. Se la otrich pral fè kay yo. Se la kabrit mawon pral danse kalenda.
22 And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
Chen mawon pral wouke nan gwo kay yo. Chat mawon pral pran plezi yo nan bèl palè yo. Lè a prèt pou sonnen pou lavil Babilòn, jou l' prèt pou bout.
