Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
SENYÈ a va ankò gen konpasyon sou Jacob, pou l chwazi Israël ankò e fè yo rete nan pwòp peyi yo. Etranje yo va vin jwenn ak yo e atache yo menm a kay Jacob la.
2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Yo va mennen yo fè yo vini nan plas yo, e lakay Israël va posede yo nan peyi SENYÈ a, kon sèvant ak sèvitè. Konsa, yo va pran sila ki te pran yo kaptif yo, yo va kaptire yo e vin mèt sou sila ki te oprime yo.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,
Li va rive nan jou lè SENYÈ a ba ou repò sou doulè ou, twoub ou ak redi di nan sila ou te vin esklav la,
4 that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!
Ke ou va pran chante sa a kont wa Babylon nan epi di: “Gade kijan opresè a vin sispann! Gwo twoub la pa la ankò!”
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers,
SENYÈ a fin kase baton a mechan an, baton a wa yo
6 That smote the peoples in wrath with an incessant stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
ki te konn frape pèp la ak gran kolè, ak kou san rete, ki te soumèt nasyon yo ak gwo kòlè ak gwo pèsekisyon san fren.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
Tout latè gen repo e rete kalm. Yo eklate ak chante kè kontan yo.
8 Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.'
Menm bwa siprè yo rejwi sou ou e bwa sèd Liban yo ap di: “Paske ou te bese ou, pa gen moun ki koupe bwa k ap monte kont nou.
9 The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
Sejou mò a depi anba, gen kè kontan sou ou, pou l ka rankontre ou lè ou vini. Li leve menm pou ou lespri mò yo, tout chèf sou tout latè yo. Li fè leve tout wa a tout nasyon yo soti nan twòn yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they do answer and say unto thee: 'Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
Yo tout va reponn epi mande ou: ‘Ou menm, èske ou vin fèb tankou nou? Èske ou vini tankou nou?’
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Sheol h7585)
Tout gwo bagay fèt ou ak mizik ap ou yo fin desann rive nan sejou mò yo. Se vè ki fè kabann anba ou e se vè k ap kouvri ou.” (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations!
Kòman ou te tonbe soti nan syèl la, O zetwal granmmaten an! Ou te koupe ra tè; ou menm ki te detwi tout nasyon yo!
13 And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north;
Men nan kè ou, ou te di: “Mwen va monte jis rive nan syèl la! Mwen va fè leve twòn mwen piwo zetwal Bondye yo! Mwen va chita sou mòn asanble a nan fon nò yo!
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'
Mwen va monte piwo nwaj yo! Mwen va fè mwen menm tankou Pi Wo a!”
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world, to the uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Sepandan, ou va pouse desann nan Sejou mò yo, kote fon a gwo fòs la ye a. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee, they gaze earnestly at thee: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Sila ki wè ou va fikse zye sou ou. Yo va reflechi sou ou pou di: “Èske se nonm sila a ki te fè tè a tranble a, ki te souke wayòm yo?
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?'
Ki te fè mond lan tankou yon dezè a, ki te boulvèse gwo vil li yo, ki te refize kite prizonye li yo ale lakay yo?”
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
Tout wa sou latè yo kouche nan glwa yo, yo chak nan pwòp tonbo pa yo.
19 But thou art cast forth away from thy grave like an abhorred offshoot, in the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the pavement of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
Men ou menm, ou te jete deyò tonbo pa ou a, tankou yon branch rejte, abiye ak sila ki te touye yo, ki te pèse ak nepe yo, ki te desann kote wòch a fòs la tankou yon kadav, kraze foule ak pye.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.
Ou p ap reyini ak yo nan antèman, akoz ou te detwi peyi ou a. Ou te touye pèp ou a. Konsa, non desandan a malfektè sila yo pa p nonmen jis pou tout tan!
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
Prepare pou fis li yo yon kote pou masak, akoz inikite a papa yo. Konsa pou yo pa leve pran posesyon latè e ranpli sifas mond lan ak gwo vil.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and offshoot and offspring, saith the LORD.
“Mwen va leve kont yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. “Mwen va koupe retire yo nèt de non Babylone ak desandan yo de sila ki fèt ak sila ki gen pou vini yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
“Anplis, M ap fè l tounen yon marekaj pou kochon mawon yo. Mwen va bale li ak bale destriksyon an,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,
SENYÈ dèzame yo fin sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, jan ke Mwen te fè plan an, se konsa li va rive! Jan ke M te planifye a, se konsa l ap kanpe!
25 That I will break Asshur in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
Pou M kraze Assyrie nan peyi Mwen an e pou M foule li sou mòn Mwen yo. Konsa jouk li va retire sou yo e gwo chaj li va sòti sou zepòl yo.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Sa se plan a ki te fòme kont tout tè a. Sa se men ki lonje kont tout nasyon yo.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo te fè yon plan e se kilès ki ka anpeche l? Epi pou men lonje pa l la, se kilès ki ka fè l fè bak?”
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Nan ane Wa Achaz te mouri an, Pwofesi sa a te fèt:
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.
Pa rejwi, O Peyi Filisten yo, nou tout, akoz baton ki te konn frape ou a fin kase. Soti nan rasin sèpan an, yon vipè va vin parèt, k ap fè kon fwi, yon sèpan k ap vole.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Premyè nè malere a va manje byen, e endijan an va kouche ansekirite. Mwen va detwi rasin pa ou ak gwo grangou, e anplis l ap touye sila ki te chape yo.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Rele anmwey, O pòtay la! Kriye fò, O Gran Vil la! Fann nèt, O Filistia, nou tout! Paske lafimen ap sòti nan nò e nanpwen moun k ap fè reta. Lennmi a kwense nou nèt.
32 What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of His people take refuge.
Alò, kòman yon moun ka reponn mesaje a nasyon yo? Ke se SENYÈ a ki te etabli Sion, e aflije a pèp Li yo va chache sekou nan li.
