Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Pwofesi sou Damas. “Gade byen, Damas prèt pou retire nèt kon vil. Li va tonbe nèt an yon gwo pil mazi.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Vil Aroër yo ap abandone nèt. Y ap sèvi kon plas pou twoupo yo kouche. P ap gen pèsòn pou fè yo pè.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
Vil fòtifye a va disparèt nan Éphraïm e wa Damas la ak retay Syrie. Yo va tankou laglwa a fis Israël yo,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
Alò, nan jou sa a, glwa Jacob la va febli nèt, e grès chè li va vin megri.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing corn, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Li va tankou lè mwasonè sereyal la ap ranmase; lè bra li ap rekòlte tèt sereyal yo. Wi, tankou yon moun k ap ranmase tèt sereyal nan vale Rephaïm yo.
6 Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
Sepandan, kèk nan mwason an va rete tankou lè yo rekòlte bwa doliv. Y ap jwenn de oswa twa grenn sou branch piwo a, kat oswa senk nan bwa ki donnen pi byen yo, deklare SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
7 In that day shall a man look unto his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
Nan jou sa a, lòm va gen respè pou Kreyatè li a e zye li va gade vè Sila Ki Sen An Israël la.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall he have respect to that which his fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.
Yo p ap gade vè lotèl yo, zèv a men li yo, ni yo p ap okipe sa ke dwèt yo te fè; ni Asherim yo ni lanp lansan yo.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel: and it shall be a desolation.
Nan jou sa a, vil ranfòse yo va tankou kote abandone nan forè a; tankou branch ke yo te abandone devan fis Israël yo. Konsa, tè a va dezole.
10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips:
Paske nou te bliye Bondye a sali nou an, ni nou pa t sonje wòch ki se sekou nou an. Pou sa, nou plante bèl plant e plase yo pami boujon chan a dye etranje yo.
11 In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom: but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Nan jou ke nou plante l la, nou fè bèl kloti pou li. Nan maten, nou fè jèm nan rive fè flè; men rekòlt la ap sove ale nan jou gwo maladi, nan jou doulè san rete a.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, which roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Sepandan, gwo zen a anpil nasyon ki gwonde tankou anpil dlo yo, e ki fè bri a anpil nasyon k ap kouri desann tankou gwo dlo pwisan!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Nasyon yo fè gwo bri desann tankou gwonde a anpil dlo, men Li va repwoche yo e yo va kouri rive byen lwen, yo va chase tankou pay sou mòn devan van, oswa toubiyon van an fè avan gwo tanpèt.
14 At eventide behold terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Nan aswè, gade, gwo laperèz! Avan maten, yo disparèt nèt. Se konsa pòsyon a sila k ap ranmase byen nou yo e tiraj osò a sila ki piyaje nou yo.
