< Isaiah 34 >
1 Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
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 the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up 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 Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with 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 hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the 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 hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 The sword of Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth 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 The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
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 Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
Paske SENYÈ a gen yon jou vanjans, yon ane vanjans pou koz a Sion an.
9 Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall 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 Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
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 The pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
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 Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
Yo va rele prens li yo a wayòm nan, menp ap gen k ap parèt. Tout prens li yo p ap anyen.
13 Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
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 The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
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 There also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
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 Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather 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 He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
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.
