Isaiah 47
1 Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
Ou menm, lavil Babilòn, desann sou fotèy ou a! Al chita atè nan pousyè! Yon lè, ou te tankou yon jenn tifi. Wi, kapital moun peyi Kalde yo pral chita atè plat, yo p'ap janm konsidere ou ankò tankou yon bèl tifi ki renmen plezi, ki pa nan leve ni lou ni lejè.
2 Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
Pran wòl moulen yo, al moulen farin! Wete vwal ki sou tèt ou a! Moute ke rad ou wotè jenou ou. Dekouvri janm ou pou ou janbe dlo.
3 Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
Rete toutouni pou moun ka wè jan ou tonbe ba! Mwen pral tire revanj. Pesonn p'ap ka rete m'.
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
Moun k'ap delivre nou an rele Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
5 Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
Men sa li di lavil Babilòn: Chita la! Pa di yon mo! Rete nan fènwa a! Yo p'ap janm rele ou ankò larenn tout peyi yo.
6 I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
Wi, mwen te move sou pèp mwen an. Mwen pa t' aji ak yo tankou moun pa m'. Mwen te lage yo nan men ou. Men, ou te san pitye pou yo. Ou te aji mal anpil, ata ak vye granmoun yo.
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
Ou te mete nan tèt ou ou t'ap toujou larenn. Ou pa t' rete kalkile bagay sa yo byen nan tèt ou. Ou pa t' kalkile ki jan sa tapral fini.
8 Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
Koulye a, louvri zòrèy ou, ou menm ki renmen pran plezi ou, ou menm ki chita kè pòpòz epi k'ap di nan kè ou: Se mwen menm ki sèl chèf. Nanpwen lòt! Mwen p'ap janm pèdi mari m'. Mwen p'ap janm konnen sa ki rele pèdi pitit!
9 But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
Enben! De malè sa yo pral tonbe sou ou anmenmtan, yon sèl jou. Ou pral pèdi pitit ou yo ansanm ak mari ou! Wi, malè sa yo pral tonbe ansanm sou ou, malgre tout maji ou pral fè yo, malgre pakèt wanga ou genyen yo!
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
Ou te konte sou mechanste ou t'ap fè yo. Ou t'ap di nan kè ou pesonn pa wè ou. Bon konprann ak konesans vire tèt ou. Ou t'ap di nan kè ou se ou menm ki sèl chèf. Nanpwen lòt.
11 Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
Yon malè pral tonbe sou ou, ou p'ap ka detounen l' ak maji ou yo. Yon sèl malè pral tonbe sou ou, ou p'ap ka fè anyen pou ou anpeche l' rive ou. W'a rete konsa, yon boulvès pral tonbe sou ou, yon boulvès ou pa t' janm mete nan tèt ou te ka rive ou.
12 Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
Ou mèt rete ak maji ou yo, ak tout wanga ou yo! Depi ou jenn w'ap fatige kò ou sèvi ak yo. Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka fè kichòy pou ou! Ou ka fè moun pè ou ak yo!
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
Ou chaje ak moun k'ap ba ou konsèy jouk ou pa konn sa pou ou fè. Se pou moun ki te ba ou tout konsèy sa yo vini koulye a, se pou yo sove ou, yo menm k'ap etidye zetwal, yo menm k'ap separe syèl la an divès zòn, yo menm k'ap di ou chak lalin nouvèl tou sa ki gen pou rive.
14 Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
Yo tankou ti moso pay. Yon sèl dife pral boule yo. Yo p'ap menm ka sove pwòp tèt pa yo. Se p'ap yon ti dife tankou dife yo fè pou kwit manje ni tankou boukan yo limen pou moun chofe dife.
15 Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
Men kote konsèy moun sa yo ap mennen ou. Ou te touye tèt ou ap sèvi yo depi ou te jenn tifi. Y'ap kouri kite ou, yo chak bò pa yo. Yo yonn p'ap rete pou delivre ou!
