Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.
Seyè a pral souke tè a, li pral ravaje l'. Li pral boulvèse l'. Tout moun ki rete sou tè a pral kouri gaye toupatou.
2 And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.
Tout moun pral pase, prèt yo kou moun nan pèp la, esklav yo kou mèt yo, sèvant yo kou metrès yo, sa k'ap vann kou sa k'ap achte, sa k'ap bay ponya kou sa k'ap pran ponya, sa k'ap bay kredi kou sa k'ap pran kredi.
3 The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.
Yo pral ravaje tout tè a, yo pral piye tout bagay. Seyè a fin pale, se sa ki pou rive.
4 The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.
Tout moun sou latè nan lapenn. Yo pa kapab ankò. Pèp la ap plenn, y'ap deperi. Chèf yo ap plenn ansanm ak rès pèp la.
5 The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.
Moun yo pa respekte peyi Bondye a. Yo pa koute lòd Bondye ba yo. Yo derefize fè sa l' te mande yo fè a, yo derefize obeyi kòmandman Bondye yo. Yo pa kenbe kontra li te fè ak yo pou tout tan an.
6 Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.
Se poutèt sa madichon ap fini ak latè: moun ki rete sou latè ap peye pou sa yo te fè ki mal. Y'ap deperi grenn pa grenn. Se yon ti ponyen ki rete.
7 The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.
Pye rezen yo ap fennen. Ou pa ka jwenn diven. Tout moun ki te konn fè fèt yo ap plenn.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.
Yo pa bat tanbou ankò. Pa gen gwo fèt ankò. Yo pa jwe gita ankò.
9 They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.
Nanpwen chante ankò lè y'ap bwè diven. Gwòg vin anmè nan bouch gwògmann yo.
10 The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.
Pa gen moun nan lavil la. Yo kite kay yo ap tonbe. Tout pòt kay fèmen, moun pa antre la ankò.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.
Nan tout lari moun ap rele paske nanpwen diven ankò. Pa gen fèt rejwisans ankò. Nanpwen kè kontan nan peyi a.
12 In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Lavil la ap fini, ata pòtay yo fin kraze.
13 Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.
Se konsa sa pral ye nan tout peyi sou latè. Se va tankou apre rekòt lè y'ap gole dènye oliv ki rete nan pye oliv yo, lè y'ap fè grapyay apre rekòt rezen an.
14 They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.
Sa ki chape yo pral rele, yo pral chante byen fò ak kè kontan. Y'ap rete bò solèy kouche a, yo pral di jan Seyè a gen pouvwa.
15 Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.
Konsa tou, moun ki rete bò solèy leve pral fè lwanj Seyè a. Moun ki rete sou zile nan lanmè a pral fè chante pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
16 From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.
Byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, nou tande y'ap chante, y'ap fè lwanj pou moun ki mache dwat yo. Men mwen menm, mwen di: Pa gen rechap pou mwen! Pa gen chape pou mwen! Gade nan kisa m' ye! Trèt yo ap trayi moun toujou! Chak jou y'ap trayi moun pi rèd!
17 Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Nou menm ki rete sou latè, se kè sere, se gwo twou, se pèlen ki pare pou nou!
18 And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.
Moun k'ap kouri lè y'a tande rèl moun ki pè yo pral tonbe nan twou. Moun k'ap moute soti nan twou pral pran nan pèlen. Paske gwo lapli a pral tonbe sot nan syèl la. Fondasyon latè pral pran tranble.
19 The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.
Latè pral fann, l'ap pete fè miyèt moso. L'ap tranble, l'ap souke tout kò l'.
20 The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.
Latè pral balanse tankou moun sou. Li pral souke tankou yon ti joupa lè van ap soufle fò. Peche lèzòm yo peze lou sou li: l'ap tonbe, li p'ap janm ka leve ankò.
21 And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.
Jou sa a, Seyè a pral pini zanj yo ki anwo nan syèl la, l'ap pini tout chèf k'ap gouvènen sou latè.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.
L'ap mete yo ansanm nan prizon nan yon tonm. L'ap fèmen yo nan kacho. Apre yon bon tan, l'ap pini yo.
23 Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.
lalin lan pral vin tou nwa. Solèy la p'ap klere ankò, paske Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral sèl wa. Li pral gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Tout chèf fanmi pèp li a pral wè gwo pouvwa li.
