Isaiah 31
1 Wo to hem that goon doun in to Egipt to help, and hopen in horsis, and han trist on cartis, for tho ben manye, and on knyytis, for thei ben ful stronge; and thei tristiden not on the hooli of Israel, and thei souyten not the Lord.
Madichon pou moun k'ap desann peyi Lejip al chache sekou! Yo mete konfyans yo nan chwal, nan kantite cha lagè, nan fòs sòlda kavalye. Yo pa dòmi reve Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa. Yo pa chache pwoteksyon bò Seyè a.
2 Forsothe he that is wijs, hath brouyt yuel, and took not awei hise wordis; and he schal rise togidere ayens the hous of worste men, and ayens the helpe of hem that worchen wickidnesse.
Men tou, Seyè a konn sa l'ap fè. L'ap voye malè sou mechan yo, li p'ap chanje pawòl. L'ap pini mechan yo ansanm ak moun k'ap pwoteje mechan yo.
3 Egipt is a man, and not God; and the horsis of hem ben fleisch, and not spirit; and the Lord schal bowe doun his hond, and the helpere schal falle doun, and he schal falle, to whom help is youun, and alle schulen be wastid togidere.
Moun Lejip yo, se moun yo ye, yo pa bondye. Chwal yo tankou tout chwal. Se pa chwal Bondye voye! Seyè a pral lonje men l', moun k'ap bay pwoteksyon an ap bite, moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon an ap tonbe. Y'ap mouri ansanm!
4 For whi the Lord seith these thingis to me, If a lioun rorith, and a whelp of a lioun on his prey, whanne the multitude of schipherdis cometh ayens hym, he schal not drede of the vois of hem, and he schal not drede of the multitude of hem; so the Lord of oostis schal come doun, for to fiyte on the mounteyn of Sion, and on the litil hil therof.
Men sa Seyè a di m' ankò: -Menm jan yon gwo lyon osinon yon ti lyon ap gwonde lè li fin pran yon bèt, tout gadò yo te mèt mete ansanm pou goumen ak li, yo te mèt rele, sa p'ap fè l' pè, yo te mèt anpil, sa p'ap kraponnen l', konsa tou, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral desann pou l' pran defans mòn Siyon an ak ti mòn ki pou li a.
5 As briddis fleynge, so the Lord of oostis schal defende Jerusalem; he defendynge and delyuerynge, passynge forth and sauynge.
Menm jan zwezo louvri zèl li anwo nich li pou pwoteje pitit li, konsa tou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral louvri zèl li pwoteje lavil Jerizalèm. L'ap pwoteje l', l'ap delivre l', l'ap pran defans li, l'ap sove l'.
6 Ye sones of Israel, be conuertid, as ye hadden go awei in to depthe.
Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, nou te vire do ban mwen, nou te kenbe tèt ak mwen anpil. Koulye a, tounen vin jwenn mwen!
7 Forsothe in that dai a man schal caste awei the idols of his siluer, and the idols of his gold, whiche youre hondis maden to you in to synne.
Jou sa a, n'a voye jete tout bann vye zidòl nou te fè an ajan ak an lò ak men plen san nou yo.
8 And Assur schal falle bi swerd, not of man, and a swerd, not of man, schal deuoure hym; and he schal fle, not fro the face of swerd, and hise yonge men schulen be tributaries;
Lagè pral fini ak peyi Lasiri, men se pa moun ki pral fè lagè avè l'. Lè batay la, li pral kouri met deyò, men y'ap pran tout jenn gason l' yo fè yo tounen esklav.
9 and the strengthe of hym schal passe fro ferdfulnesse, and hise princes fleynge schulen drede. The Lord seide, whos fier is in Sion, and his chymeney is in Jerusalem.
Wa a menm pral kouri met deyò sitèlman l'ap pè. Yon sèl latranblad pral pran chèf lagè li yo, y'ap lage drapo yo atè kouri ale. Seyè a pale, se pou li dife k'ap boule sou mòn Siyon an, se pou li gwo boukan ki nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
