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 defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
Ezekyas te gen katòzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri, vin atake tout lavil nan peyi Jida ki te gen gwo ranpa pou pwoteje yo. Li pran yo.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh 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 fuller’s field.
Apre sa, li bay chèf gad palè li a lòd pou li kite lavil lakis ak yon gwo lame pou l' moute lavil Jerizalèm ale bò kote wa Ezekyas. Chèf gad palè a rive sou wout ki mennen nan jaden kote yo rense twal ki fenk tenn yo, li moute kan li toupre gwo kannal ki bay dlo nan sitèn anwo lavil la.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph’s son, the recorder.
Twa moun Jida soti vin jwenn li. Se te Elyakim, pitit Ilkija a, ki te chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a, ak Joak, pitit Asaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this wherein thou trustest?
Chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a di yo konsa: -Ale di wa Ezekyas men mesaj gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye ba li: Poukisa ou gen tout konfyans sa a?
5 I say, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain words) [I have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Ou konprann ou ka fè lagè ak bèl pawòl ase san ou pa bezwen entèlijans ak bon sòlda? Sou ki moun ou apiye kò ou pou ou kenbe tèt ak mwen konsa?
6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on 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 in him.
Ou al mete konfyans ou nan peyi Lejip! Yon baton wozo tou kase! Anvan ou apiye sou li, l'ap antre nan men ou, l'ap blese ou. Farawon an, wa peyi Lejip ou wè a, se konsa li ye pou tout moun ki fè l' konfyans.
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is it] not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Nou pral di m' koulye a se nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou! Atò, se pa kote nou te mete apa pou li yo ansanm ak tout lotèl li yo wa Ezekyas te fè disparèt nan peyi a, lèfini li mande pou tout moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm vin adore devan yon sèl lotèl la?
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to 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.
Antann nou avèk mèt mwen an, wa peyi Lasiri a. Lèfini, m'ap ban nou demil chwal si nou ka jwenn demil sòlda pou moute yo.
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Ou pa menm gen moun ase pou bat yonn nan pi piti chèf ki sou lòd wa mwen an! Epi, se sou peyi Lejip w'ap konte jwenn cha lagè ak kavalye pou fè lagè!
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.
Epitou, pa konprann se san konsantman Seyè a mwen vin atake peyi a pou m' detwi l'. Se Seyè a menm ki di m' vin atake peyi ou la pou m' detwi l'.
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian 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.
Lè sa a, Elyakim, Chebna ansanm ak Joak di chèf gad palè a: -Tanpri, mèt. Pale lang arameyen ak nou. Nou konprann lang sa a. Men pa pale ebre. Tout moun ki sou miray la ap koute.
12 But Rabshakeh 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, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
Men chèf gad palè a di yo an ebre: -An! Nou konprann se avè wa nou an ansanm ak nou twa la a ase wa mwen an voye m' vin pale pawòl sa yo? Non. Se ak tout moun ki chita sou miray la menm m'ap pale. Yo menm tou pral manje poupou yo, yo pral bwè pipi yo ansanm ak nou!
13 Then Rabshakeh 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.
Lè sa a, chèf gad palè a kanpe, li pran pale byen fò an ebre, li di: -Koute sa gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye di nou:
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
Li voye di nou pa kite Ezekyas twonpe nou. Li pa ka sove nou tande!
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Pa kite l' pran tèt nou lè l'ap di nou nou mèt sèten Seyè a pral sove nou, li p'ap lage lavil la nan men wa peyi Lasiri a.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, 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 wa Ezekyas! Wa peyi Lasiri a mande pou nou fè lapè avè l', pou nou rann tèt nou ba li. Konsa, nou tout n'a manje rezen nan jaden rezen nou, n'a manje fig frans nan pye fig frans nou, n'a bwè dlo nan pi nou.
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.
Lè wa a va vin isit la, l'a pran nou, l'a mennen nou nan yon lòt peyi ki tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil ble pou fè farin ak anpil rezen pou fè diven.
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?
Pa kite Ezekyas pran tèt nou pou nou kwè Seyè a va delivre nou. Eske bondye lòt nasyon yo te delivre yo anba men wa peyi Lasiri a?
19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Kote bondye moun Amat yo ak bondye moun Apad yo? Kote bondye moun Sefavayim yo? Eske yo te sove peyi Samari anba men l'?
20 Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Nan tout bondye sa yo, kilès ki te rive sove yonn nan peyi sa yo anba men l'? Atò, se Seyè a ki ta ka sove lavil Jerizalèm anba men l'?
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Men pèp la pa louvri bouch li reponn. Yo pa di yon mo paske wa a te bay lòd pou pesonn pa reponn.
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 Rabshakeh.
Apre sa, Elyakim, pitit Ilkiya a, ki te chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a, ak Joak, pitit Asaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a, chire rad sou yo sitèlman sa te fè yo lapenn. Yo tounen al jwenn Ezekyas, yo rapòte l' tou sa chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a te di.
