Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
Men yon mesaj pou Fon Vizyon an: -Sa k'ap pase konsa? Poukisa tout moun nan lavil la ap moute sou teras anwo kay yo pou fè fèt konsa?
2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
Tout lavil la tèt anba. Toupatou se bri, se banbòch. Moun ki mouri nan mitan nou yo, se pa nan goumen ni nan lagè yo mouri.
3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
Tout chèf lame nou yo vole gadjè. Anvan menm yo te voye yon flèch, yo te gen tan fè yo tout prizonye. Tout moun ki t'ap kouri met deyò yo, yo fè yo tout prizonye tou.
4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Se poutèt sa mwen di: Kite m' pou kont mwen pou m' ka kriye kont kriye mwen! Pa chache konsole m' pou gwo malè sèk sa a ki tonbe sou pèp mwen an!
5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the LORD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
Jounen jòdi a, se yon jou debandad, se jou yo pèdi batay la, se jou pesonn pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki fè sa rive nou. Nan Fon Vizyon an, y'ap kraze miray lavil yo met atè. Nan tout mòn yo, y'ap rele mande sekou.
6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
Sòlda peyi Elam yo moute sou cha yo ak sou chwal yo. Banza yo ak flèch yo tou pare, y'ap vini. Lame peyi Ki a pran zam pou pare kou yo.
7 It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
Cha lagè anvayi tout plenn kote nou gen pi bon venn tè jaden. Sòlda yo kanpe sou chwal yo devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.
8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
Pa gen anyen ankò pou defann moun peyi Jida yo. Lè sa a, nou kouri al chache zam nan depo zam palè wa a.
9 You saw the breaches of the City of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
Nou te wè te gen anpil kote ki fann nan miray lavil David la. Nou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan rezèvwa anba a.
10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
Nou mache konte tout kay ki nan lavil Jerizalèm. Nou kraze de twa ladan yo pou nou fè miray lavil la pi solid.
11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
Nou bati yon rezèvwa nan mitan de miray pou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan Vye Basen. Men, nou pa janm dòmi reve Bondye, li menm ki te fè lide sa a depi lontan, li menm ki lakòz tout bagay sa yo rive konsa.
12 In that day the LORD of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for shaved heads, and for the wearing of sackcloth.
Jou sa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te rele nou, li te mande nou pou nou kriye, pou nou plenn, pou nou koupe tout cheve nan tèt nou, pou nou mete rad sak sou nou.
13 But look, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
Men, gade! Nou pito rete ap ri, n'ap fè fèt, n'ap touye bèf, n'ap touye kabrit ak mouton pou n' manje, n'ap bwè diven. N'ap plede di: Annou manje, annou bwè, paske denmen nou pral mouri.
14 The LORD of hosts revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the LORD of hosts.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale nan zòrèy mwen, li di m': Yo p'ap janm padonnen moun sa yo fòt yo fè la a jouk jou yo mouri. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
15 Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of the house, and say,
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di m' ankò: -Ale kay Chebna, chèf ki reskonsab kay wa a. Msye te fè fouye yon kavo sou ti mòn lan pou lè li mouri. W'a di l' pou mwen:
16 'What are you doing here, and whom have you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock."
Kisa ou genyen ki pou ou isit la? Ki fanmi ou gen isit la pou ou fè fouye yon kavo pou ou nan flan ti mòn lan?
17 Look, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
Ou mèt grannèg kont kò ou, Seyè a pral pase men l' pran ou, l'ap voye ou jete byen lwen.
18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
L'ap plòtonnen ou, l'ap fè ou tounen yon boul, l'ap voye ou al teri nan yon pi gwo peyi. Se la l'ap voye ou al mouri nan mitan tout cha ki t'ap fè ou fè tout granpanpan sa a. Ou se yon wont pou kay mèt ou a.
19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
M'ap kase ou nan plas kote ou ye a, m'ap fè ou desann soti kote ou chita a.
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
Lè sa a, m'a voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Elyakim, pitit gason Ilkija a.
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
M'a pran palto ki sou do ou la, m'a ba li l'. M'a pran senti ki pase nan ren ou lan, m'a mare ren pa l' avè l'. Pouvwa ou te genyen an, m'ap ba li l': l'ap tankou yon papa pou tout moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida.
22 I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
Apre wa a, pitit pitit ki soti nan fanmi David la, se li menm k'ap sèl chèf. M'ap ba li kle pou l' reskonsab kay David la: Lè li louvri, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen. Lè li fèmen, pesonn p'ap ka louvri.
23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
M'ap mete l' chita, l'ap tankou yon zegwi bwa yo fè antre byen fon nan yon poto. Li pral sèvi yon lwanj pou fanmi papa l'.
24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
Men, tout fanmi l', tout ti fanmi l' yo pral tounen yon chay twò lou pou li. Yo pral pandye nan kou l' tankou gode ak bòl ki pandye nan yon zegwi bwa.
25 "In that day," says the LORD of hosts, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it."
Lè sa a, men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Zegwi yo te fè antre byen fon nan poto a pral rache. L'ap soti, l'ap tonbe atè, epi tout chay ki sou li a pral tonbe tou. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
