Isaiah 30
1 “Woe to the rebellious children”, says Yahweh, “who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
Men sa Seyè a di: -Madichon pou pitit mwen yo k'ap fè tèt di ak mwen! Nan tou sa y'ap fè, se pwòp lide yo y'ap swiv, se pa lide pa m'. Y'ap siyen lòt kontra, atout mwen di yo non. Y'ap fè peche sou peche.
2 who set out to go down into Egypt without asking for my advice, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
Yo desann al nan peyi Lejip san yo pa mande m' konsèy. Y' al mande farawon an pou l' pwoteje yo, y' al mete kò yo anba zèl peyi Lejip.
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Men, farawon an p'ap ka fè anyen pou nou. Pwoteksyon peyi Lejip la ap tounen yon wont pou nou.
4 For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
Malgre delege yo gen tan rive lavil Zoan ak lavil Anès,
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can’t profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
pèp Jida a pral règrèt yo te janm mete konfyans yo nan yon pèp ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo, yon nasyon ki pa ka ni ede yo ni pote yo sekou, yon nasyon k'ap fè yo wont, yon nasyon k'ap ba yo desepsyon.
6 The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
Men yon mesaj Bondye bay sou bèt nan dezè Negèv yo: -Delege yo ap vwayaje nan yon peyi ki gen anpil danje, kote lyon ak manman lyon rete, kote gen move sèpan ak dragon azèl. Yo chaje bourik yo ak chamo yo avèk kado pou yon nasyon ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo.
7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
Paske konkou Lejip ap ba yo a p'ap sèvi yo anyen, paske li pa vo anyen, se poutèt sa mwen bay peyi a yon ti non. Mwen rele l': Dragon dan kase a.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Seyè a di m': -Koulye a al ekri sa moun sa yo ye a sou yon adwaz. Ekri l' nan yon woulo liv, pou sa ka toujou sèvi m' temwen kont yo pou tout tan tout tan.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear Yahweh’s law;
Yo toujou ap fè tèt di ak Bondye. Se yon bann pitit ki toujou ap bay manti, ki pa vle koute lòd Bondye, Seyè a.
10 who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
Y'ap di divinò yo: Pa di nou vizyon nou fè yo. Y'ap di pwofèt yo: Pa fè nou konnen sa nou dwe fè. Di nou bèl pawòl dous k'ap fè nou plezi. Kite nou ak sa nou kwè a.
11 Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
Wete kò nou sou bon wout la! Fè sou kote! Pa vin pale nou sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
12 Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
Se poutèt sa, men sa Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye apa a, ap di: Nou pa vle koute avètisman m'ap ban nou an. Nou pito met konfyans nou nan moun k'ap fè mechanste, nan moun k'ap fè bagay sou kote. Se sou yo nou apiye.
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
Enben, se nou ki va pote chay la. Nou tankou yon miray ki make fann, tankou yon gwo miray byen wo ki gen yon pati ladan l' k'ap souke, ki gonfle prèt pou tonbe. N'ap rete konsa, n'ap tonbe anvan nou bat je nou.
14 He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
N'ap tonbe an miyèt moso tankou kannari kraze. P'ap menm gen yon moso ki ka sèvi pou ranmase chabon dife osinon pou al chache dlo nan sous.
15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused,
Men, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki yon Bondye apa, te di pèp la: Tounen vin jwenn mwen, lèfini ret trankil, n'a delivre. Ret dousman, met konfyans nou nan mwen. Se sa ki tout fòs nou. Men, nou pa t' vle.
16 but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;” therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;” therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
Men nou te pito di: Ann moute chwal nou kouri ale. Enben, ale! Ale non! Sove kò nou! Nou te pito di: n'a moute sou chwal ki konn kouri. Men tou, sa k'ap kouri dèyè nou yo pral kouri pi vit pase nou!
17 One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
Lè n'a wè yon sèl moun nan lènmi yo, mil nan nou pral kraze rak. Lè n'a wè senk menm, se nou tout k'ap kouri met deyò. Sèl bagay k'ap rete nan lame nou an, se va drapo n'a kite kanpe sou tèt ti mòn lan.
18 Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Men, Seyè a ap tann lè pou l' fè nou gras. Li tou pare pou l' gen pitye pou nou, paske Seyè a, se yon Bondye k'ap toujou fè sa ki byen! benediksyon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li.
19 For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.
Nou menm ki rete lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Siyon an, nou p'ap kriye ankò. Rele n'a rele l', l'a fè nou gras. Tande l'a tande nou, l'ap reponn nou.
20 Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers won’t be hidden any more, but your eyes will see your teachers;
Bondye va fè nou manje kont mizè nou, l'a fè nou pase kont tray nou, men l'ap la pou l' moutre nou sa pou l' moutre nou an. N'ap wè l' ak de grenn je nou, nou p'ap bezwen al chache l' ankò.
21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”
Si nou chankre sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch, n'a tande yon vwa nan do nou k'ap di nou: Men bon chemen an bò isit. Se la a pou ou pase!
22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!”
N'a pran estati zidòl nou yo ki kouvri ak ajan ansanm ak lò sou tout kò yo pou bagay k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye, n'ap voye yo jete tankou vye bagay sal, n'a di yo: Soti devan je nou!
23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
Lè n'a plante grenn nan jaden nou, Bondye va voye lapli pou l' fè yo pouse. L'a fè tè a bay manje k'ap bon nan bouch nou, manje k'ap ban nou fòs. N'a gen kont kote pou nou mennen bèt nou yo al manje.
24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Towo bèf ak bourik k'ap sèvi pou travay tè nou va jwenn bon manje pou yo manje, bon zèb sale y'a vannen epi y'a ranmase ak fouch mete nan depo.
25 There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Jou y'a kraze fò lènmi nou yo, jou y'a masakre tout lènmi nou yo, sous dlo pral pete nan tout gwo mòn, nan tout ti mòn koule desann.
26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
Jou Seyè a pral mete renmèd sou kote ki te blese nan pèp la, jou l'ap geri tout kote pèp la te blese a, lalin pral klere tankou solèy, limyè solèy la menm pral sèt fwa pi klere, ou ta di limyè sèt jou mete ansanm. Wi, tou sa pral rive jou Seyè a.
27 Behold, Yahweh’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation. His tongue is as a devouring fire.
Pouvwa Bondye a pral vin soti byen lwen. Dife ak lafimen ap fè wè jan li move. L'ap fè kòlè, pawòl li yo tankou boukan dife nan raje.
28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. A bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples.
Li fè van soufle, ou ta di yon ravin k'ap desann, dlo li rive rabo. L'ap boulvèse nasyon yo jouk li detwi yo, l'ap detounen tout move lide yo te gen nan tèt yo.
29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.
Men, nou menm pèp Bondye a, nou pral chante, nou pral fè fèt tankou nou fè l' lavèy jou fèt nou. Nou pral kontan tankou moun k'ap jwe fif lè yo sou wout pou ale sou mòn Seyè a, Bondye k'ap defann pèp Izrayèl la.
30 Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones.
Seyè a pral fè tout moun tande fòs vwa li, li pral fè yo santi fòs ponyèt li lè li move. Lè sa a, va gen flanm dife, van siklòn, gwo tanpèt, lapli ak tanpèt lagrèl.
31 For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod.
Moun peyi Lasiri yo pral tranble lè y'a tande vwa Seyè a k'ap ba yo baton.
32 Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons.
Chak fwa Seyè a va ba yo yon kout baton pou l' pini yo, y'a tande son tanbou ak son gita k'ap jwe nan peyi Izrayèl. Se Seyè a menm ki pral goumen ak moun Lasiri yo.
33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, it is prepared for the king. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
Depi lontan yo te pare yon gwo twou pou dife boukan an. Se ladan l' yo pral boule wa a. Yo fè twou a byen fon, byen laj. Yo plen l' bwa. Seyè a pral soufle yon flanm dife melanje ak souf sou li pou boule l'.
