Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Wi, kè Seyè a pral fè l' mal pou fanmi Jakòb la. L'ap chwazi pèp Izrayèl la ankò pou pèp pa li. L'ap kite yo rete nan peyi ki pou yo a. Moun lòt nasyon va vin jwenn yo, y'a rete viv ansanm ak moun fanmi Jakòb yo.
2 And the people 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 handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Anpil lòt nasyon va ede yo tounen nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm va pran yo ak yo nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Y'a fè yo sèvi domestik ak sèvant. Moun ki te fè pèp la prizonye, se yo ki pral tounen prizonye pèp la. Pèp Izrayèl la pral donminen sou moun ki t'ap peze yo anba pye yo.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Seyè a va fè nou jwenn repo apre tout tray, tout tribilasyon ak tout mizè yo te fè nou pase.
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Lè sa a, n'a chante pou nou pase wa lavil Babilòn lan nan betiz, n'a di: Gade ki jan moun ki t'ap maltrete nou an disparèt! Gade ki jan yo desann kòlèt li non!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, [and] the sceptre of the rulers.
Seyè a kase baton mechan yo. Li kase kokomakak chèf ki t'ap maltrete nou an!
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hindereth.
Lè yo move, yo te konn woule pèp la anba kou. Lè yo ankòlè, yo te konn kraze pèp la anba pye yo, yo pa t' ba yo souf.
7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Koulye a, tout moun sou latè ap pran souf. Y'ap viv ak kè poze. Toupatou se chante, se kè kontan.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Pye pichpen ak pye sèd peyi Liban yo kontan sa ki rive wa a. Y'ap di: Depi li tonbe a, pesonn pa moute vin mete rach nan dèyè nou ankò.
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Peyi kote mò yo ye a tèt anba pou resevwa ou. Nanm tout moun ki te gwo chèf sou latè ap souke kò yo pou ou. Nanm tout wa yo ap leve kanpe sot sou fotèy yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Yo tout pran pale, y'ap di: Gade! Yo desann ou jan ou te desann nou an. Ou tounen tankou nou.
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Jan yo te konn fè lwanj ou ak bèl mizik dous sou gita! Koulye a, men ou nan peyi mò yo. Ou kouche sou yon kabann plen vèmen. Vè kouvri tout kò ou. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Manyè di nou non, ou menm ki te klere tankou zetwal bajou a, ki jan ou fè tonbe sot nan syèl la? Ou menm ki te konn mache ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye ou, ki jan yo fè jete ou plat atè konsa?
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Ou t'ap di nan kè ou: M'ap moute rive jouk nan syèl la. Mwen pral mete fotèy mwen pi wo pase zetwal Bondye yo. Mwen pral chita tankou yon wa nan nò sou tèt mòn Randevou a.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Mwen pral moute sou tèt nwaj yo. M'ap tankou Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
Men koulye a, yo desann ou nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, jouk anba nan twou san fon an! (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Mò ki wè ou yo ap fikse je yo sou ou. Y'ap gade ou, y'ap di: Se pa moun ki te konn fè tè a tranble a sa? Se pa li ki te konn fè chèf yo tranble a sa?
17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
Se pa li ki te kraze tout lavil yo, ki te fè latè tounen yon dezè a sa? Se pa li ki pa t' janm kite moun li fè prizonye tounen lakay yo a sa?
18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Tout wa latè yo kouche nan bèl kavo yo, yon kavo pou yo chak.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Men, ou menm, ou pa menm gen yon tonm. Yo kite kadav ou ap trennen tankou kadav chen nan granchemen. L'ap pouri nan mitan kadav sòlda yo touye nan lagè, yo jete l' ansanm ak lòt kadav yo nan yon twou wòch, yo pilonnen l' anba pye yo.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Yo p'ap antere ou jan yo fè l' pou lòt wa yo, paske ou te fini ak peyi ou la, ou te touye pèp ou a. Yo p'ap janm chonje non fanmi lwijanboje sa yo!
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Pare pou nou masakre tout pitit wa yo poutèt mechanste papa yo te fè! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape pou yo pa janm vin chèf, pou yo pa janm mache bati lavil toupatou sou latè ankò.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di konsa: -Mwen pral leve dèyè yo. Mwen pral disparèt lavil Babilòn. Mwen p'ap kite anyen, ni non l', ni moun li yo, tout ras yo, tout pitit yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
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.
M'ap fè lavil Babilòn tounen yon marekay. Se zagoudi ase k'ap rete la. Mwen pral bale sa byen bale. M' p'ap kite anyen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki pale.
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:
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Sa se sèten. Sa m' te fè lide fè a, m'ap fè l'. Sa m' te deside fè a ap rive vre.
25 That I will break the Assyrian 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 shoulders.
M'ap kraze lame wa Lasiri a nan peyi mwen an. M'ap pilonnen l' anba pye m' sou mòn mwen yo. M'ap wete pye l' sou kou pèp mwen an, m'ap wete chay li te mete sou zepòl yo a.
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.
Men sa mwen fè lide fè pou latè. Mwen pral leve men m' pou m' pini 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?
Depi Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fin pran yon desizyon, pa gen moun ki ka enpoze l' fè sa li vle fè a. Li fin lonje men l' pou l' pini, pa gen moun ki ka rete l'.
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Lanne wa Akaz te mouri a, men mesaj Bondye te bay lè sa a:
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent.
-Nou menm, moun peyi Filisti yo, baton ki t'ap bat nou an kase. Men, nou pa bezwen kontan pou sa. Paske, lè yon sèpan mouri gen yon lòt ki pi mechan pase l' k'ap pran plas li. L'ap kale yon dragon ki gen zèl.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
Seyè a va tounen yon gadò pou pòv malere ki nan peyi a. L'a fè yo manje, l'a ba yo kote pou yo rete san yo pa bezwen pè ankenn danje. Men, m'ap voye yon sèl grangou sou ras moun Filisti yo, yo yonn p'ap chape.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times.
Nou menm k'ap veye pòtay lavil moun Filisti yo, nou mèt plenn kont kò nou! Nou menm ki rete anndan lavil yo, nou mèt pouse kont rèl nou. Nou tout moun peyi Filisti yo, nou mèt tranble nan tout kò nou. Yon nwaj nwa ap vini soti nan nò. Se yon gwo lame. Pa gen yonn nan sòlda li yo k'ap fè kazwèl!
32 What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Kisa n'a reponn mesaje moun peyi Filisti yo va voye kote nou an? N'a di yo se Seyè a menm ki mete peyi Siyon an kanpe ankò pou tout bon. Se la tout pèp li a, pèp ki t'ap soufri a, va vin jwenn pwoteksyon.
