Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you. When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
Madichon pou lènmi nou yo! Y'ap devalize nou, pesonn pa devalize yo. Y'ap trayi nou, pesonn pa trayi yo. Men tou, lè y'a fin devalize nou, moun va devalize yo tou! Lè y'a fin trayi nou, moun va trayi yo tou!
2 LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Seyè, pitye pou nou! Se nan ou nou mete tout espwa nou! Pwoteje nou jou apre jou! Delivre nou lè nou anba tray!
3 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
Lè w'ap goumen pou nou, tande lòt nasyon yo tande bri lagè a, yo kouri met deyò, yo gaye.
4 Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
Tankou krikèt nan jaden, nou kouri lage kò nou sou tou sa yo genyen, nou ranmase tout bagay pote ale.
5 The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
Ala pouvwa Seyè a genyen! Li donminen sou tout bagay! L'ap fè tout moun mache dwat nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pesonn p'ap fè lenjistis sou mòn Siyon an.
6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
Li p'ap kite anyen rive pèp la ankò. Sa k'ap toujou sove yo, se va bon konprann ak konesans Bondye ap ba yo a. Pi gwo richès yo, se krentif y'a gen pou Seyè a.
7 Look, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Vanyan gason ap rele anmwe. Moun yo te voye pou siyen lapè yo ap kriye ak gwo lapenn nan kè yo.
8 The highways are desolate, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the witnesses; he has no regard for man.
Nanpwen pesonn sou granchemen yo. Moun pa vwayaje ankò. Lènmi yo pa respekte kontra yo te siyen an, yo pa kenbe dizon yo. Y'a manke tout moun dega.
9 The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
Peyi a nan lapenn, l'ap deperi. Nan peyi Liban, moun pa konn sa pou yo fè. Gwo rakbwa yo ap cheche. Bèl plenn peyi Sawon an tounen savann. Nan tout peyi Bazan ak peyi Kamèl, tout pyebwa ap pèdi fèy.
10 "Now I will arise," says the LORD; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
Seyè a pale ak lòt nasyon yo, li di yo: -Koulye a, m'ap leve kanpe, m'ap fè nou wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' gen fòs kouraj.
11 You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
N'ap fè yon bann lide nan tèt nou ki pa vo anyen. Se nou menm ankò k'ap touye tèt nou.
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
M'ap boule nou tankou yo boule wòch pou fè lacho, tankou pikan chèch yo jete nan dife.
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might."
Se pou tout moun, ni sa ki pre ni sa ki lwen, tande sa mwen te fè. Se pou tout moun konnen jan m' gen pouvwa.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
Nan lavil Siyon, moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo pral gen kè sere. Moun ki refize fè sa Bondye mande a pral tranble. Y'ap di: Jijman Bondye se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule san rete. Kilès nan nou ki ka chape anba yon dife konsa?
15 He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
Moun k'ap chape, se moun k'ap mache dwat yo, moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa sèvi ak pouvwa yo pou pwofite sou lòt moun, moun ki pa asepte lajan sou kote, moun ki pa dakò ak moun k'ap fè plan pou fè mechanste, moun ki pa mele ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.
16 he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
Se moun konsa ki pral rive nan lavi. Tankou yon moun ki nan yon gwo fò byen wo, anyen p'ap rive l': l'ap toujou jwenn manje pou l' manje ak dlo pou l' bwè.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
Yon jou, n'a wè yon wa k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay, nan yon gwo gwo peyi.
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
Lè sa a, n'a chonje sa ki te konn fè nou pè a. Nan kè nou, n'a mande: Kote prepoze kontribisyon yo? Kote kontwòlè mache yo? Kote moun ki t'ap mache enspekte fò yo?
19 You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't understand.
Nou p'ap wè bann moun awogan sa yo ankò, bann moun ki soti lòt peyi, ki pale lòt lang ou pa ka menm konprann, yon lang k'ap kòche zòrèy ou.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
Voye je ou gade lavil Siyon, kote nou fè gwo fèt nou yo! Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Yon bon kote pou moun rete san kè sote. L'ap tankou yon tant yo p'ap janm demoute, pikèt li yo p'ap janm rache, kòd li yo p'ap janm kase.
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
Se la Seyè a pral fè nou wè pouvwa li. M'ap rete bò gwo larivyè a ak gwo kannal dlo yo, men ankenn kannòt, ankenn batiman lènmi p'ap ka pase ladan yo.
22 For the LORD is our judge. The LORD is our lawgiver. The LORD is our king. He will save us.
Paske, se Seyè a menm k'ap chèf nou, se li menm k'ap gouvènen nou, se li ki wa nou, se li k'ap delivre nou.
23 Your rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
Tout kòd batiman yo p'ap sèvi yo anyen. Ma yo pèdi fòs, vwal yo pa ka louvri. Y'ap piye tou sa lènmi yo te pote sou batiman yo. Ata moun enfenm pral nan piyay la tou.
24 The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
Pesonn nan peyi a p'ap plenyen di li malad ankò. Bondye pral padonnen peche tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.
