2 Kings 19
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
Lè wa Ezekyas tande pawòl sa yo, li chire rad sou li tèlman sa te fè l' lapenn, li mete yon rad sak sou li, epi l' al nan tanp Seyè a.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Li voye Elyakim, chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, ak Chebna, sekretè a, ansanm ak chèf prèt yo, bò kote pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Yo tout te gen rad sak sou yo.
3 And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Men mesaj Ezekyas te ba yo pou Ezayi: —Jodi a se jou malè pou nou! Bondye ap peni nou. Se yon wont pou nou. Nou tankou yon fanm ansent ki deja kase lèzo, men ki pa gen fòs pou li pouse pitit la soti.
4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
Wa peyi Lasiri a te voye chèf gad palè li a manke Bondye vivan an dega. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, tande tout jouman sa yo. Se pou l' peni moun ki di pawòl sa yo. Ou menm, lapriyè pou rès moun pèp nou an ki vivan toujou.
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Lè moun wa Ezekyas yo al jwenn Ezayi,
6 And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
men repons Ezayi ba yo pou wa Ezekyas: —Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou pa bezwen pè tout pawòl ou tande yo, tout jouman moun wa Lasiri yo di sou mwen.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
Mwen pral fè wa Lasiri a tande yon sèl nouvèl, li pral kouri tounen nan peyi l'. Rive li rive, m'ap fè yon moun touye l'.
8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Chèf gad palè a te vin konnen wa Lasiri a te pati kite Lakis pou l' t al atake lavil Libna. Se la l' al jwenn wa a,
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'Behold, he is come out to fight against thee'; he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying:
paske wa a te pran nouvèl Tiraka, wa peyi Letiopi a, t'ap moute vin atake l'. Wa a voye lòt mesaje ankò bò kote Ezekyas.
10 'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Li di yo: —Men mesaj n'a bay Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pou mwen. Ou mèt tande Bondye ou la, Bondye ou fè konfyans la, di ou Jerizalèm p'ap tonbe nan men wa Lasiri a, pa kite l' twonpe ou.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Ou te pran nouvèl sa wa Lasiri yo te fè tout lòt peyi anvan ou yo. Yo te soti pou detwi yo nèt. Atò, se ou menm ki pou ta chape anba men m!
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
Lè zansèt mwen yo te touye dènye moun nan lavil Gozan, nan lavil Aran, nan lavil Rezèf ak dènye moun Betedenn yo ki rete lavil Telasa, èske bondye nasyon sa yo te delivre yo?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'
Kote wa lavil Amak la, wa lavil Apad la, wa lavil Sefarayim lan, wa lavil Ena a ak wa lavil Iva a?
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Ezekyas pran lèt la nan men mesaje yo, li li l'. Apre sa, li pati al nan tanp lan, li mete lèt la devan lotèl Seyè a.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth.
Epi li lapriyè Seyè a, li di l' konsa: —Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm ki chita sou fotèy zanj cheriben yo ap pote sou zepòl yo a, se ou menm sèl Bondye k'ap gouvènen tout peyi sou latè. Se ou menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
16 Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to taunt the living God.
Panche zòrèy ou non, Seyè, pou ou tande. Louvri je ou pou ou wè. Koute pawòl Senakerib voye di m', pawòl ki manke Bondye vivan an dega!
17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
Nou konnen, Seyè, wa peyi Lasiri yo te fini ak anpil nasyon, yo te detwi peyi yo.
18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
Yo te boule tout bondye yo paske se pa t' bondye yo te ye. Se estati fèt an bwa ak an wòch moun te fè ak men yo. Se poutèt sa yo te rive detwi yo.
19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save Thou us, I beseech Thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.'
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, tanpri, delivre nou anba men Senakerib, pou tout nasyon ki sou latè ka konnen se ou menm sèl, Seyè, ki Bondye.
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.
Lè sa a, Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, voye mesaj sa a bay Ezekyas: —Ou te lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a. Men repons li voye ba ou.
21 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Men pawòl Seyè a di sou Senakerib: Lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an ap ri ou, l'ap pase ou nan rizib. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rele chalbari dèyè ou.
22 Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel!
Ki moun ou konprann ou derespekte, ou joure konsa? Sou ki moun ou pale fò konsa? Ki moun w'ap klere je ou gade konsa? Se sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
23 By the messengers thou hast taunted the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypresses thereof; and I have entered into his farthest lodge, the forest of his fruitful field.
Ou voye moun ou yo vin manke Bondye dega. Ou deklare: O wi, avèk tout kalite cha lagè m' yo, mwen moute sou tèt tout mòn, ata sou tèt mòn Liban an. Mwen koupe pi gwo pye sèd li yo, pi bèl pye rezen li yo. Mwen rive jouk anwo nèt sou tèt li, nan mitan rakbwa li yo ki tankou bèl jaden.
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
Mwen fouye pi nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen bwè dlo. Mwen cheche dlo nan tout larivyè Lejip yo pou sòlda mwen yo pase san pye yo pa mouye.
25 Hast thou not heard? long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
Ou pa t' konnen gen lontan depi mwen te fè lide pou tou sa te rive? Gen lontan depi sa te nan tèt mwen? Koulye a, mwen kite sa rive, pou m' te ka kraze tout lavil ak ranpa yo pou fè yo tounen yon pil demoli.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it is grown up.
Moun ki te rete la te san fòs. Yo te pè, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo fè. Yo te tankou raje nan jaden, tankou zèb gazon, tankou raje k'ap pouse sou do kay, tankou pye mayi ki cheche anvan li mete zepi.
27 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
Mwen konnen lè ou leve, mwen konnen lè ou chita. Mwen konnen lè ou soti, mwen konnen lè ou antre. Mwen pran nouvèl jan ou fin anraje sou mwen.
28 Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thy tumult is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Koulye a, mwen vin konnen jan ou move sou mwen, jan ou vin awogan. Se poutèt sa, mwen mete yon fè won nan bwa nen ou, ak yon mò nan bouch ou. Mwen pral fè ou pran menm chimen ou te pran pou vini an pou ou tounen.
29 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Apre sa, Izayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: —Men sa ki pral sèvi yon siy pou ou. Lanne sa a, n'a manje rès grenn ki te tonbe atè. Lanne k'ap vin apre sa a, n'a manje grenn nou pa t' plante. Men, apre sa ankò, n'a ka plante, n'a ka fè rekòt. N'a plante pye rezen, n'a manje rezen.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Rès moun peyi Jida ki va chape yo va pran pye. Y'a kanpe ankò.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
Va gen yon ti rès moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak sou mòn Siyon an ki va chape. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè sa, paske li renmen ou anpil.
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
Men sa Seyè a di sou wa peyi Lasiri a: Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Li p'ap gen tan voye yon sèl grenn flèch sou li. P'ap gen yon sèl sòlda ak plak pwotèj k'ap pwoche bò kote l'. Ni yo p'ap fouye twou pou sènen l'.
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
Chemen li te pran pou l' vini an, se li menm l'ap pran pou l' tounen. Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a menm, ki di sa.
34 For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
M'ap pwoteje lavil sa a. M'ap delivre l' pou m' fè respè tèt mwen, pou m' kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, sèvitè m' lan.
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, zanj Seyè a al nan kan moun Lasiri yo, li touye sankatrevensenk mil (185.000) sòlda. Nan maten, lè moun leve se kadav yo ase yo jwenn. Yo tout te mouri.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, leve, li pati, li tounen lavil Neniv.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Yon jou, antan wa a t'ap fè sèvis nan tanp Niswòk, bondye li a, de nan pitit gason l' yo touye l' ak nepe yo, epi yo kouri al kache nan peyi Arara. Yo te rele Adramelèk ak Sarezè. Se yon lòt nan pitit gason li yo ki te rele Asaradon ki moute wa nan plas li.
