Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear, And you peoples, give attention, The earth and its fullness hear, The world, and all its productions.
Rapwoche, O nasyon yo pou tande! Koute, o pèp yo! Kite latè ak tout sa ki ladann tande, e lemonn ak tout sa ki ladann.
2 For to YHWH [is] wrath against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He has devoted them to destruction, He has given them to slaughter.
Paske gwo kòlè SENYÈ a kont tout nasyon yo e jijman Li brile kont tout lame yo. Li te detwi yo nèt. Li te donnen yo a yon gwo masak.
3 And their wounded are cast out, And their carcasses cause their stench to ascend, And mountains have been melted from their blood.
Konsa, mò yo va jete deyò. Kadav yo va fè movèz odè, e mòn yo va tranpe ak san yo.
4 And all the host of the heavens have been consumed, And the heavens have been rolled together as a scroll, And all their hosts fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig tree.
Tout lame syèl la va vin efase. Syèl la va woule monte tankou yon woulo liv; e tout lame li yo va vin fennen nèt, tankou yon fèy ta fennen sou branch chan rezen an, oswa jan li deseche tonbe sou yon pye fig.
5 For My sword was soaked in the heavens, Behold, it comes down on Edom, On the people of My curse for judgment.
Paske nepe Mwen bwe ase nan syèl la. Gade byen, li va desann pou jije Édom ak pèp ke Mwen te chwazi pou destriksyon yo.
6 A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, It has been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Nepe SENYÈ a plen ak san. Li kouvri ak grès, ak san jenn mouton, ak bouk yo, ak grès a ren belye. Paske SENYÈ a gen yon sakrifis nan Botsra, ak yon gwo masak nan peyi Édom.
7 And reems have come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, And their land has been soaked from blood, And their dust is made fat from fatness.
Anplis, bèf mawon va desann ak yo, ak jenn towo, ak towo pwisan yo. Konsa, peyi yo va tranpe ak san, e pousyè yo va vin gra ak grès.
8 (For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife),
Paske SENYÈ a gen yon jou vanjans, yon ane vanjans pou koz a Sion an.
9 And her streams have been turned to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land has become burning pitch.
Sous dlo li yo va devni goudwon e tè pousyè li kon souf. Peyi li va tounen goudwon k ap brile.
10 She is not quenched by night and by day, Her smoke goes up for all time, She is desolate from generation to generation, Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
Li p ap etenn ni lajounen, ni lannwit. Lafimen li va monte jis pou tout tan. De jenerasyon an jenerasyon, li va dezole. Okenn moun p ap pase ladann pou tout tan e pou tout tan.
11 And pelican and hedgehog possess her, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He has stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
Men grangozye ak ti bèt atè a va vin posede li e ibou ak kònèy a va demere ladann. Li va tann sou li lign latwoublay, ak fil a plon vid la.
12 They call her nobles [to] the kingdom, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
Yo va rele prens li yo a wayòm nan, menp ap gen k ap parèt. Tout prens li yo p ap anyen.
13 And thorns have gone up her palaces, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it has been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
Pikan yo va pouse nan gwo fò li yo, chadwon ak gwo raje nan gwo vil ranfòse yo. L ap devni yon kote frekante pa chen mawon. Li va fè kay tribinal pou otrich la.
14 And desert-dwellers have met with howlers, And the goat calls for its companion, Surely the night-owl has rested there, And has found a place of rest for herself.
Bèt dezè yo va fè reyinyon ak lou yo; kabrit sovaj ak gwo plim va kriye anvè parèy li. Wi, gwo bèt lannwit va vin rete la; l ap twouve pou kont li yon kote pou l ka repoze.
15 The owl has made her nest there, Indeed, she lays, and has hatched, And has gathered under her shadow, Surely vultures have been gathered there, Each with its companion.
La, koulèv pyebwa a va fè nich li pou ponn ze; li va kale yo e ranmase yo anba pwotèj li. Menm bèt malfini yo va rankontre la, yo chak ak pwòp parèy yo.
16 Seek out of the scroll of YHWH, and read, One of these has not been lacking, None has missed its companion, For My mouth—it has commanded, And His Spirit—He has gathered them.
Chache nan liv SENYÈ a, epi li: Nanpwen youn nan sila yo ki p ap la; okenn p ap manke parèy yo. Paske bouch Mwen te pase lòd, e Lespri Li te ranmase yo.
17 And He has cast a lot for them, And His hand has apportioned [it] to them by line, They possess it for all time, They dwell in it from generation to generation!
Li te tire osò pou yo, e se men L ki separe bay yo selon lign mezi a. Yo va posede kote a jis pou tout tan. De jenerasyon an jenerasyon, yo va abite ladann.
