Isaiah 21
1 [the] oracle of [the] wilderness of [the] sea Like storm-winds in the south to sweep on from [the] wilderness [someone is] coming from a land to be feared.
Men mesaj Bondye bay sou plenn bò lanmè a, nan peyi Babilòn: -Tankou yon van siklòn k'ap bale dezè Negèv la, yon gwo malè pral soti nan peyi san manman yo.
2 A vision severe it has been told to me the traitor - [is] acting treacherously and the destroyer - [is] destroying go up O Elam lay siege O Media all groaning its I will cause to cease.
Mwen fè yon vizyon, mwen wè bagay ki pou bay gwo lapenn lan. Mwen wè moun k'ap trayi, moun k'ap kraze brize! Nou menm lame peyi Elam lan, moute al atake! Nou menm sòlda peyi Medi yo, al sènen lavil li yo! Bondye pral fè moun k'ap soufri anba peyi Babilòn lan sispann plenn.
3 There-fore they are full loins my anguish pangs they have seized me like [the] pangs of [a woman who] gives birth I am bent over from hearing I am terrified from seeing.
Se poutèt sa, tout zantray mwen ap bouyi! Mwen gen yon sèl doulè anba vant tankou yon fanm ki prèt pou akouche. M'ap tòde. Mwen rete vant ba: mwen pa wè anyen, mwen pa tande anyen.
4 It has wandered heart my shuddering it has overwhelmed me [the] twilight of desire my it has made for me trembling.
Tèt mwen ap vire. M'ap tranble tèlman mwen pè. Mwen t'ap tann solèy la kouche. Men, lè aswè rive, se te pi mal.
5 They are arranging the table they are spreading out the rug eating drinking arise O officials smear a shield.
Nan vizyon an, mwen wè yon tab byen ranje, yo louvri tapi atè pou envite yo chita. Y'ap manje, y'ap bwè. Yon moman, yo bay yon lòd: Kanpe, chèf lame yo! Pare zam nou pou defann nou!
6 For thus he has said to me [the] Lord go station the watchman [that] which he will see let him tell.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Ale non! Mete yon gad veye! W'a di l' pou l' fè ou konnen tou sa la wè.
7 And he will see a rider a pair of horses a rider of a donkey a rider of a camel and he will pay attention attentiveness greatness of attentiveness.
Si l' wè kavalye k'ap vini sou chwal yo, de pa de ak yon pati moun sou bourik, yon lòt pati sou chamo, se pou l' louvri je l' gade byen.
8 And he called out a lion on a watchtower - O Lord I [am] standing continually by day and at post my I [am] stationed all the nights.
Gad la rele byen fò: -Mèt, m'ap rete kanpe la nan pòs mwen tout lajounen. Mwen p'ap deplase kote m' ye a. M'ap veye tout lannwit.
9 And there! this [is] coming a rider a man a pair of horses and he answered and he said it has fallen it has fallen Babylon and all [the] images of gods its someone has broken to the ground.
Lè sa a, yon lame kavalye parèt. Y'ap mache vini de pa de. Gad la bay nouvèl la. Li di: Lavil Babilòn tonbe! Wi, li tonbe! Tout estati zidòl yo tonbe plat atè, yo kraze!
10 O threshed one my and [the] son of threshing floor my [that] which I have heard from with Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel I have told to you.
Nou menm, pèp mwen an, mwen te fwote nou anba pye m' tankou moun fwote diri sou glasi. Men, koulye a m'ap fè nou konnen bon nouvèl mwen te tande a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki te fè m' konn sa.
11 [the] oracle of Dumah to me [someone is] calling from Seir O watchman what? [is] from [the] night O watchman what? [is] from [the] night.
Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Edon yo: -Yon moun rete peyi Seyi, l'ap rele m'. Li di m': Ey, gad! Kilè li ye? Konbe tan ankò pou nwit lan bout? Konbe tan ankò anvan solèy leve?
12 He says [the] watchman it will come morning and also night if you will enquire! enquire return come.
Mwen reponn: -Bajou prèt pou kase. Men apre sa, se va lannwit ankò. Si nou vle mande sa ankò, tounen vin mande.
13 [the] oracle On Arabia in the thicket[s] in Arabia you will lodge O caravans of Dedanites.
Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Arabi yo: -Nou menm moun peyi Dedan, se nan mitan raje ki nan savann Arabi a nou pral moute kan nou pase nwit!
14 To meet [the] thirsty bring water O inhabitants of [the] land of Tema with bread his they met fugitive[s].
Al kontre moun ki swaf dlo yo pou ba yo bwè. Moun peyi Tema yo al kontre moun k'ap kouri sove yo, yo pote manje ba yo.
15 For from before swords they have fled from before - a sword drawn and from before a bow bent and from before [the] weight of battle.
Moun yo pran kouri pou yo chape anba nepe sòlda ki te soti pou touye yo, anba flèch ki te tou pare pou pèse yo, anba gwo danje ki te gen nan batay la.
16 For thus he has said [the] Lord to me in yet a year like [the] years of a hired laborer and it will be finished all [the] splendor of Kedar.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nan yon lanne, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, p'ap rete anyen nan tout bèl pouvwa peyi Keda a!
17 And [the] remnant of a number of bowmen [the] warriors of [the] people of Kedar they will be few for Yahweh [the] God of Israel he has spoken.
Ou tande jan nan peyi sa a gen anpil vanyan sòlda ki konn tire banza byen? Enben! Se de twa ase ki va rete. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki di sa.
