Isaiah 36
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Alò, nan katòzyèm ane a Wa Ézéchias la, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont tout vil ranfòse Juda yo e te sezi yo.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fullers' field.
Konsa, wa Assyrie a te voye Rabschaké sòti Lakis nan Jérusalem vè wa Ézéchias avèk yon gwo lame. Li te kanpe kote kanal la sou gran chemen a ki rele Chan Foule a.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay wa a, Schebna, grefye a ak Joach, fis a Asaph la, grefye achiv la, te sòti vin kote l.
4 And Rab-shakeh said unto them: 'Say ye now to Hezekiah: Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Rabschaké te di yo: “Pale koulye a a Ézéchias; ‘Se konsa gran wa a, wa Assyrie a pale: “Ki konfyans sa ou genyen an?
5 I said: It is but vain words; for counsel and strength are for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
Mwen di ou ke Konsèy nou ak fòs pou fè lagè nou pa plis pase pawòl vid. Alò, de kilès nou va depann lè nou fè rebelyon kont mwen an?
6 Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
Gade byen, ou depann de baton a wozo kraze sila a. Égypte menm. Men si yon nonm apiye kote li, baton li an ap antre nan men l e frennen l nèt. Se konsa Farawon, wa Égypte la ye pou tout sila ki depann de li yo.
7 But if thou say unto me: We trust in the LORD our God; is not that He, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem: Ye shall worship before this altar?
Men si ou di m: ‘Nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an’, èske se pa wo plas ak lotèl a Li menm yo ke Ézéchias te retire e te di Juda ak Jérusalem: ‘Ou va adore isit la devan lotèl sila a’?
8 Now therefore, I pray thee, make a wager with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Alò, pou rezon sa a, vin fè yon antant ak mèt mwen an, wa Assyrie a, e mwen va bannou de-mil cheval, si nou ka jwenn chevalye kont pou mete sou yo.
9 How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain, even of the least of my master's servants? yet thou puttest thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
Kijan, alò, nou ka refize menm youn nan pi piti ofisye a mèt mwen yo pou depann de Égypte pou cha ak chevalye?
10 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said unto me: Go up against this land, and destroy it.'
Èske konsa, mwen te monte san pèmisyon SENYÈ a, kont peyi sa a pou detwi l? SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ale monte kont peyi sa a pou detwi l.”’”
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Aramean language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.'
Epi Éliakim, Schebna ak Joach te di a Rabschaké: “Alò, pale ak sèvitè ou yo an Arameyen, paske nou konprann li. Pa pale ak nou an Jideyen nan zòrèy a moun ki sou miray yo.”
12 But Rab-shakeh said: 'Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?'
Men Rabschaké te di: “Èske mèt mwen an te voye m sèlman a mèt nou ak nou menm pou pale pawòl sa yo, e pa a moun sila yo ki chita sou miray la, ki va oblije manje pwòp poupou yo e bwè dlo pipi yo ansanm avèk nou?”
13 Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: 'Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Konsa Rabschaké te kanpe e te kriye ak yon gwo vwa an Jideyen. Li te di: “Tande pawòl a gran wa a, wa Assyrie a.
14 Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah beguile you, for he will not be able to deliver you;
Konsa pale wa a: ‘Pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, paske li p ap ka delivre nou!
15 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying: The LORD will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Ni pa kite Ézéchias fè nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, oswa di nou: “Anverite SENYÈ a va delivre nou, vil sa a p ap bay nan men a wa Assyrie a.”’
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
Pa koute Ézéchias, paske konsa pale wa Assyrie a: ‘Fè lapè ak mwen, vin jwenn mwen, chak moun va manje nan pwòp chan rezen pa li, chak moun nan pwòp pye fig pa li, e chak moun va bwè dlo nan pwòp sitèn pa li,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
jiskaske m vin mennen nou ale nan yon peyi tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi ak anpil sereyal ak diven nèf, yon peyi ak pen ak chan rezen.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying: The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Veye pou Ézéchias pa egare nou e di nou: “SENYÈ a va delivre nou”. Èske youn nan dye a nasyon yo te delivre tè li a anba men a wa Assyrie la?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Kote dye a Hamath ak Arpad yo? Kote dye a Sepharvaïm yo? Epi kilè yo te delivre Samarie nan men m?”
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'
Se kilès pami tout dye peyi sila yo ki te delivre peyi pa yo nan men m, pou SENYÈ a ta delivre Jérusalem nan soti men m?’”
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying: 'Answer him not.'
Men yo te pe la e pa t di l yon mo, paske lòd a wa a se te: “Pa reponn li”.
22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay la, Schebna, sekretè a ak Joach, fis a Asaph, achivist la, te rive kote Ézéchias ak rad yo chire, e te di li pawòl a Rabschaké yo.
