Isaiah 8
1 And the Lord seide to me, Take to thee a greet book, and write ther ynne with the poyntil of man, Swiftli drawe thou awei spuylis, take thou prey soone.
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Pran yon gwo wòch plat ak yon sizo mason. Ekri pawòl sa yo sou li an gwo lèt: Prese piye, prese devalize.
2 And Y yaf to me faithful witnessis, Vrie, the prest, and Sacarie, the sone of Barachie.
Lèfini, mwen pran de moun serye, Ouri, yon prèt, ak Zakari, pitit Jeberekiya a, pou yo sèvi m' temwen.
3 And Y neiyede to the profetesse; and sche conseyuede, and childide a sone. And the Lord seide to me, Clepe thou his name Haste thou to drawe awei spuylis, haaste thou for to take prey.
Apre sa, m' al kouche ak madanm mwen. Li vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. Seyè a di m' konsa: -W'a rele l': Prese piye, prese devalize.
4 For whi bifor that the child kan clepe his fadir and his modir, the strengthe of Damask schal be doon awei, and the spuylis of Samarie, bifor the kyng of Assiriens.
Paske, anvan pitit la ka pale pou l' di papa manman, moun peyi Lasiri yo va gen tan pran tout richès moun lavil Damas yo ak tou sa moun Samari yo pran nan piyay, y'a pote yo ale bay wa pa yo a.
5 And the Lord addide to speke yit to me, and he seide,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
6 For that thing that this puple hath caste awei the watris of Siloe, that goen with silence, and hath take more Rasyn, and the sone of Romelie, for this thing lo!
-Paske pèp la meprize dlo larivyè Siloe a k'ap koule tou dousman, paske yo tranble devan wa Rezen ak wa Pekak, pitit Remalya a,
7 the Lord schal brynge on hem the stronge and many watris of the flood, the king of Assiriens, and al his glorie; and he schal stiye on alle the stremes therof, and he schal flowe on alle the ryueris therof.
mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap fè wa peyi Lasiri a vin atake yo ak tout fòs li. L'ap vini tankou dlo gwo larivyè Lefrat la lè l'ap desann. L'ap gonfle, l'ap debòde sou tout rivaj li yo.
8 And he schal go flowynge bi Juda, and he schal passe til to the necke, and schal come; and the spredyng forth of hise wyngis schal be, and schal fille the breede of thi lond, thou Emanuel.
L'ap anvayi tout peyi Jida a, l'ap rive ra kou, l'ap kouvri tout peyi a. Bondye avèk nou! L'ap pwoteje peyi a anba zèl li!
9 Puplis, be ye gaderid togidere, and be ye ouercomun; and alle londis afer, here ye. Be ye coumfortid, and be ye ouercomun; gird ye you, and be ye ouercomun;
Nou menm, moun tout nasyon yo, manyè konn sa! Nou mèt tranble! Nou menm ki rete nan peyi byen lwen, louvri zòrèy nou! Pare pou nou goumen! Men, konnen nou anba kou! Wi, mwen di nou pare pou nou goumen. Men, konnen nou anba kou!
10 take ye councel, and it schal be destried; speke ye a word, and it schal not be doon, for God is with vs.
Nou mèt fè plan nou. Men, sa p'ap mache! Nou mèt pale jan nou vle. Men, sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen, paske nou menm patizan Bondye yo, se Bondye ki avèk nou!
11 For whi the Lord seith these thingis to me, as he tauyte me in a stronge hond, that Y schulde not go in to the weie of this puple,
Wi, Seyè a lonje men l', li pran m'. Li tou pale m' pou m' pa swiv chemen pèp la t'ap swiv la. Li di m' konsa:
12 and seide, Seie ye not, It is sweryng togidere, for whi alle thingis which this puple spekith is sweryng togidere; and drede ye not the ferdfulnesse therof, nether be ye aferd.
Pa rele konplo sa pèp la rele konplo. Ou pa bezwen pè sa pèp la pè a. Wi, ou pa bezwen gen kè sote.
13 Halowe ye the Lord hym silf of oostis; and he schal be youre inward drede, and he schal be youre ferdfulnesse, and he schal be to you in to halewyng.
Chonje, se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, pou nou konsidere tankou Bondye apa a! Se mwen menm pou nou pè. Se pou mwen nou dwe gen krentif.
14 Forsothe he schal be in to a stoon of hirtyng, and in to a stoon of sclaundre, to tweyne housis of Israel; in to a snare, and in to fallyng, to hem that dwellen in Jerusalem.
Paske se mwen menm ki yon Bondye apa. M'ap tounen yon wòch k'ap fè nou bite, yon wòch k'ap fè moun peyi Izrayèl yo ak moun peyi Jida yo tonbe! M'ap tounen yon move pa, yon pèlen pou moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
15 And ful many of hem schulen offende, and schulen falle, and thei schulen be al to-brokun, and thei schulen be boundun, and schulen be takun.
Anpil moun pral bite, y'ap tonbe, y'ap kase ren yo. Y'ap tonbe nan pèlen an, y'ap pran ladan l'.
16 Bynde thou witnessyng, mark thou the lawe in my disciplis.
Se pou patizan m' yo kenbe pawòl Bondye di m' lan. Se pou yo kenbe lòd Bondye yo nan kè yo!
17 Y schal abide the Lord, that hath hid his face fro the hous of Jacob, and Y schal abide hym.
Seyè a vire do l' bay moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Men, mwen menm m'ap konte sou li, m'ap mete tout espwa m' nan li.
18 Lo! Y and my children, whiche the Lord yaf to me in to a signe, and greet wondur to Israel, of the Lord of oostis that dwellith in the hil of Sion.
Men mwen ansanm ak tout pitit Seyè a ban mwen yo! Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, li menm ki rete sou mòn Siyon an, li fè nou tounen yon siy nan mitan pèp la pou nou moutre sa ki pral rive.
19 And whanne thei seien to you, Axe ye of coniureris, and of false dyuynouris, that gnasten in her enchauntyngis, whether the puple schal not axe of her God a reuelacioun for quyke men and deed?
Si pèp la mande nou pou n' al kay divinò ak moun k'ap rele mò, yon bann moun k'ap pale chwichwi pou moun pa ka konprann, si yo di nou: Eske moun pa gen dwa mande bondye yo sa pou yo fè? Eske yo pa gen dwa al rele mò yo pou vivan yo?
20 It is to go to the lawe more and to the witnessyng, that if thei seien not after this word, morewtide liyt schal not be to hem.
W'a reponn yo: Koute pawòl Seyè a, koute sa li te moutre nou an! Si nou koute moun k'ap di nou fè lòt bagay, n'ap toujou rete nan fènwa.
21 And it schal passe bi that, and it schal falle doun, and it schal hungre. And whanne it schal hungre, it schal be wrooth, and schal curse his kyng and his God, and it schal biholde vpward.
Moun pral pwonmennen mache nan tout peyi a, y'ap dekouraje, y'ap grangou. Grangou pral fè yo move, y'a rive rele madichon pou wa yo a ansanm ak Bondye yo a. Y'a leve je yo gade nan syèl,
22 And it schal loke to the erthe, and lo! tribulacioun, and derknessis, and vnbyndyng, ether discoumfort, and angwisch, and myist pursuynge; and it schal not mow fle awei fro his angwisch.
y'a bese je yo gade atè. Toupatou se va renk kè sere ak fènwa, yon fènwa k'ap fè kè tout moun kase. Y'ap pèdi nan gwo fènwa. Tout moun nan peyi a te mèt gen kè kase, rive yon lè sa gen pou chanje, fènwa a p'ap toujou rete la.
