Isaiah 24
1 Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
Gade byen, SENYÈ a va devaste tout latè ak gwo destriksyon, boulvèse sifas li e gaye tout moun ki rete ladann.
2 And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
Pèp la menm jan ak prèt la, sèvitè a tankou mèt li, sèvant lan tankou mètrès li, sa k ap achte tankou sa k ap vann, sila k ap fè prè a tankou sila k ap prete a, sila ki resevwa kredi a tankou sila k ap bay kredi a.
3 The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
Latè va devaste nèt e vin depouye, paske SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa a.
4 The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
Latè kriye ak doulè e vin fennen nèt. Sila ki egzalte wo sou moun latè yo vin disparèt.
5 And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
Anplis, latè vin plen ak pouriti a moun k ap viv ladann, paske yo te transgrese lalwa yo, vyole règleman yo, e te kraze akò letènèl la.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
Akoz sa, yon malediksyon devore latè a, e sila ki rete ladann yo vin twouve koupab. Konsa, sila ki rete sou latè yo vin brile e se sèl kèk grenn moun ki rete.
7 The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
Diven nèf la fèb. Chan rezen an gate. Tout kè kontan yo fè gwo plent.
8 The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
Kè kontan a tanbouren yo vin rete, bri a moun k ap fete yo vin sispann.
9 They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
Yo pa bwè diven ak chanson; bwason fò yo vin anmè pou sila ki bwè l yo.
10 It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
Vil gwo dezòd la vin kraze nèt. Tout kay vin fèmen pou pèsòn pa antre.
11 In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
Gen gwo kriye nan lari a pou afè diven. Tout kè kontan vire an gwo tristès.
12 Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
Se dezolasyon ki rete nan vil la e pòtay la fin kraze nèt.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
Paske se konsa l ap ye nan mitan latè a pami pèp yo; tankou lè bwa doliv souke fò, tankou sila ki ranmase apre rekòlt rezen an fin fèt yo.
14 They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
Yo leve vwa yo; yo kriye ak kè kontan. Yo kriye soti nan lwès akoz majeste SENYÈ a.
15 Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
Pou sa, bay glwa a SENYÈ a nan lès, non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan peyi kot lanmè yo.
16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Soti nan dènye pwent latè, nou tande chan yo: “Glwa a Sila Ki Dwat la,” men mwen di: “Malè a mwen menm! Malè a mwen menm! Elas pou mwen! Moun trèt yo aji an trèt e moun trèt yo aji an trèt anpil.”
17 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Gwo laperèz, twou fòs ak pèlen vin devan nou menm ki rete sou latè.
18 And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
Konsa, li va rive ke sila ki sove ale lè l tande gwo dega a va vin tonbe nan fòs la, e sila ki rale kò l sòti nan fòs la va pran nan pèlen an; paske fenèt anlè yo vin louvri e fondasyon latè yo ap tranble.
19 The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
Latè vin dechire. Latè vin fann nèt. Latè souke ak vyolans.
20 The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
Latè woule de bò tankou moun ki anba gwòg. Li pyete tankou vye kay pay. Akoz transgresyon li yo peze lou sou li, li va tonbe nèt pou l pa janm leve ankò.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
Li va rive nan jou sa a ke SENYÈ a va pini lame syèl anwo yo ak wa latè sou latè yo.
22 And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
Yo va ranmase ansanm tankou prizonye nan yon kacho e yo va fèmen nan prizon. Apre anpil jou, yo va pini.
23 And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
Konsa, lalin nan va vin twouble e solèy la va vin wont, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo va renye sou Mòn Sion ak Jérusalem, e laglwa Li va devan ansyen Li yo.
