Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
Pwofesi sou Damas. “Gade byen, Damas prèt pou retire nèt kon vil. Li va tonbe nèt an yon gwo pil mazi.
2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
Vil Aroër yo ap abandone nèt. Y ap sèvi kon plas pou twoupo yo kouche. P ap gen pèsòn pou fè yo pè.
3 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Vil fòtifye a va disparèt nan Éphraïm e wa Damas la ak retay Syrie. Yo va tankou laglwa a fis Israël yo,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
4 And in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
Alò, nan jou sa a, glwa Jacob la va febli nèt, e grès chè li va vin megri.
5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
Li va tankou lè mwasonè sereyal la ap ranmase; lè bra li ap rekòlte tèt sereyal yo. Wi, tankou yon moun k ap ranmase tèt sereyal nan vale Rephaïm yo.
6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord God of Israel.
Sepandan, kèk nan mwason an va rete tankou lè yo rekòlte bwa doliv. Y ap jwenn de oswa twa grenn sou branch piwo a, kat oswa senk nan bwa ki donnen pi byen yo, deklare SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
7 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke to the holy one of Israel.
Nan jou sa a, lòm va gen respè pou Kreyatè li a e zye li va gade vè Sila Ki Sen An Israël la.
8 And hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
Yo p ap gade vè lotèl yo, zèv a men li yo, ni yo p ap okipe sa ke dwèt yo te fè; ni Asherim yo ni lanp lansan yo.
9 In that day shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
Nan jou sa a, vil ranfòse yo va tankou kote abandone nan forè a; tankou branch ke yo te abandone devan fis Israël yo. Konsa, tè a va dezole.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
Paske nou te bliye Bondye a sali nou an, ni nou pa t sonje wòch ki se sekou nou an. Pou sa, nou plante bèl plant e plase yo pami boujon chan a dye etranje yo.
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
Nan jou ke nou plante l la, nou fè bèl kloti pou li. Nan maten, nou fè jèm nan rive fè flè; men rekòlt la ap sove ale nan jou gwo maladi, nan jou doulè san rete a.
12 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.
Sepandan, gwo zen a anpil nasyon ki gwonde tankou anpil dlo yo, e ki fè bri a anpil nasyon k ap kouri desann tankou gwo dlo pwisan!
13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
Nasyon yo fè gwo bri desann tankou gwonde a anpil dlo, men Li va repwoche yo e yo va kouri rive byen lwen, yo va chase tankou pay sou mòn devan van, oswa toubiyon van an fè avan gwo tanpèt.
14 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
Nan aswè, gade, gwo laperèz! Avan maten, yo disparèt nèt. Se konsa pòsyon a sila k ap ranmase byen nou yo e tiraj osò a sila ki piyaje nou yo.
