< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
Pwofesi konsènan Babylon ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè a.
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.
Leve yon drapo sou mòn toutouni an! Leve vwa nou vè yo! Fè sign ak men pou yo ka antre nan pòt a prens 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.
Mwen te pase lòd anvè konsakre Mwen yo; menm gran gèrye Mwen yo. Mwen te rele sila ki rejwi nan pwisans Mwen yo, pou egzekite kòlè Mwen.
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.
Yon bri a gwo zen sou mòn yo, tankou bri anpil moun! Yon son a gwo bri nan wayòm yo; son a nasyon yo ki vin rasanble ansanm! SENYÈ dèzame yo ap rasanble lame a pou batay.
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.
Yo sòti nan yon peyi byen lwen, soti nan ekstremite pi lwen yo, SENYÈ a avèk zouti a gwo kòlè Li yo, pou detwi tout peyi a.
6 Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.
Rele anmwey, paske jou SENYÈ a toupre! Li va rive tankou yon destriksyon k ap sòti nan Toupwisan an.
7 Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,
Akoz sa, tout men yo va tonbe san fòs e kè a tout moun va fann.
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 vin pè anpil; doulè ak gwo lapèn va sezi yo nèt. Yo va vire tòde tankou fanm k ap akouche; youn va gade lòt ak sezisman. Figi yo k ap fè flanm dife.
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.
Gade byen, jou SENYÈ a ap vini, byen sovaj ak gwo kòlè tèrib; kòlè k ap brile pou fè peyi a dezole! Li va ekstèmine pechè ki sou li yo.
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.
Konsa, zetwal syèl yo ak fòmasyon yo p ap bay limyè yo. Solèy la va nwa lè l leve e lalin nan p ap bay limyè li.
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.
Konsa Mwen va pini mond lan pou mechanste li ak mechan yo pou inikite yo. Mwen va mete fen ak awogans moun ògeye e desann awogans a sila ki san pitye a.
12 I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.
Mwen va fè lòm mòtèl la vin pi ra pase lò san tach, e limanite ke lò Ophir.
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.
Pou sa, Mwen va fè syèl yo tranble e latè va fin souke jiskaske li kite plas li nan kòlè a SENYÈ dèzame yo nan jou kòlè Li k ap anflame 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.
Konsa li va rive ke menm tankou yon antilop k ap chase, oswa mouton san moun pou rasanble yo, yo chak va vire vè pwòp pèp yo, e yo chak va sove ale rive nan pwòp peyi yo.
15 Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.
Nenpòt moun yo rankontre, yo va frennen touye nèt, e nenpòt moun ke yo kaptire, va mouri pa nepe.
16 Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
Timoun piti pa yo, anplis, va kraze an mòso devan zye yo. Lakay yo va piyaje e madanm yo va vyole.
17 Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde.
Gade byen, Mwen va fè Mèdes leve kont yo; kont sila ki p ap bay ajan valè yo, ni pran plezi nan lò 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.
Banza yo va koupe jennonm yo tankou zèb; yo p ap menm gen konpasyon pou fwi zantray la, ni zye yo p ap fè pitye pou timoun.
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.
Konsa, Babylon bèlte a wayòm yo, glwa ak ògèy a Kaldeyen yo, va tankou lè ke Bondye te boulvèse Sodome ak Gomorrhe a.
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.
Li p ap janm abite ankò, ni pèsòn p ap viv ladann soti nan yon jenerasyon a yon lòt. Arab la p ap monte tant li la, ni bèje yo p ap fè twoupo yo kouche 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.
Men se bèt sovaj dezè ki va kouche la, e lakay yo va plen jakal. Anplis, otrich va viv la e kabrit mawon k ap vòltije la.
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.
Chat mawon va plenyen nan fò ki wo yo, e jakal yo nan bèl palè yo. Move lè pa li a va rive ase vit e jou li yo p ap pwolonje.
