Isaiah 10
1 Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.
Madichon pou chèf k'ap bay move lòd pou kache lenjistis y'ap fè, k'ap ekri move lwa pou peze pèp la!
2 To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.
Se konsa, yo enpoze pòv malere yo defann dwa yo. Yo fè jijman ki pou ta nan avantaj pèp la tounen nan avantaj pa yo. Y'ap piye fanm ki pèdi mari yo, y'ap vòlò byen timoun ki san papa yo!
3 And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? — from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?
Kisa n'a fè lè Bondye va fè malè soti byen lwen vin tonbe sou nou? Kay ki moun n'a kouri al chache sekou ak pwoteksyon? Ki kote n' aval kache tout richès nou yo?
4 Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
Adye! Y'ap fè nou prizonye. Y'ap depòte nou, si nou pa gen tan mouri nan lagè. Men, se poko sa toujou. Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo!
5 Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand [is] Mine indignation.
Seyè a di: -Madichon pou peyi Lasiri a! Paske, l'ap tankou yon baton nan men m' pou m' pini pèp la. M'ap sèvi avèk pouvwa ki nan men l' lan pou m' fè pèp la wè jan m' ankòlè.
6 Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
Mwen te voye l' kouri al atake yon nasyon ki derespekte m'. Mwen te ba li manda pou l' regle yon pèp ki te fè m' fache anpil, pou l' pase men pran tou sa yo genyen, pou l' piye yo, pou l' pilonnen yo anba pye l' tankou pousyè nan lari.
7 And he — he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For — to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.
Men, wa peyi Lasiri a pa t' wè bagay la konsa. Se pa konsa li te konprann li. Paske lide li te met nan tèt li se kraze brize, se disparèt anpil anpil nasyon.
8 For he saith, 'Are not my princes altogether kings?
Li t'ap plede di: Tout chèf lame mwen yo se wa yo ye nan lòt peyi!
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Mwen pran lavil Kalno menm jan mwen te pran lavil Kakemich. Mwen pran lavil Amat menm jan mwen te pran lavil Apad. Mwen pran lavil Samari menm jan mwen te pran lavil Damas.
10 As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
Menm jan mwen te leve men m' pou m' te pini peyi k'ap sèvi zidòl yo, peyi ki te gen plis estati zidòl pase lavil Jerizalèm ak lavil Samari,
11 Do I not — as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?
menm jan nou wè mwen te aji ak Samari ak zidòl li yo, se konsa m'ap aji ak lavil Jerizalèm ak pòtre l'ap adore yo.
12 And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
Men sa Seyè a di: Lè m'a fin fè sa m'ap fè a sou mòn Siyon ak nan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap pini wa peyi Lasiri a pou pretansyon li mete nan tèt li, pou awogans li genyen lè l'ap gade moun.
13 For he hath said, 'By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,
Paske l'ap mache di: Se ak fòs ponyèt mwen mwen fè tou sa! Mwen gen bon konprann, mwen gen anpil lespri. Mwen wete bòn ki te make fwontyè pèp yo. Mwen devalize tou sa yo te sere. Tankou gwo towo bèf, mwen kraze tout moun ki t'ap viv la yo anba pye m'.
14 And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I — I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.'
Nasyon latè yo te tankou nich zwezo pou mwen: mwen annik lonje men m', mwen pran tout richès yo. Mwen mache toupatou sou latè ap ranmase, tankou moun ranmase ze k'ap drive nan nich san gadò. Pa t' gen yonn ki bat zèl li pou fè m' pè. Pa t' gen yon bouch ki louvri pou di m' anyen, ni pou plenyen.
15 — Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: Eske yon rach ka pretann travay li fè a se li ki fè l'? Se pa moun k'ap sèvi avè l' la ki fè l'? Eske yon goyin ka mache di sa l' fè a se li ki fè l'? Moun k'ap sèvi avè l' la pou anyen nan sa l'ap fè a? Se tankou si se fwèt la k'ap kòmande moun ki kenbe l' nan men l' lan, tankou si se baton an k'ap sèvi ak moun ki genyen l' nan men l' lan.
16 Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral voye yon sèl maladi deperi sou bann moun gra sa yo, yon sèl chalè ki pral leve nan tout kò yo, tankou yon gwo dife ki pran sou yo.
17 And the light of Israel hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
Bondye ki limyè pèp Izrayèl la pral tounen yon dife. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa pral tounen yon flanm dife. Nan yon sèl jou l'ap boule tout pikan ak tout raje, fè yo tounen sann.
18 And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
Li pral detwi gwo rakbwa yo ak bèl jaden yo nèt. Depi nan rasin yo jouk nan fèy yo, pyebwa yo ap cheche, menm jan yon move maladi souse yon moun jouk li touye l'.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth doth write them.
P'ap rete anpil pyebwa nan rak li yo ankò. Nenpòt timoun piti ka konte ti rès la.
20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Yon jou gen pou vini. Lè sa a, ti rès moun pèp Izrayèl la, sa ki te chape anba lanmò nan fanmi Jakòb la, p'ap konte ankò sou pèp ki te twaka fini ak yo a. Y'a mete konfyans yo tout bon nan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
21 A remnant returneth — a remnant of Jacob, Unto the Mighty God.
Se yon ti ponyen moun ase, yon ti rès nan fanmi Jakòb la k'ap tounen vin jwenn Bondye yo a ki gen pouvwa.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
Menm si moun pèp Izrayèl yo te anpil tankou grenn sab bò lanmè, se yon ti ponyen ase k'ap tounen. Wè pa wè, y'ap detwi pèp la. Se sa menm li merite.
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
Wi, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral fè lènmi mache nan tout peyi a pou yo devalize l' jan li te di l'ap fè l' la.
24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, 'Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, in the way of Egypt.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè sèl Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a di konsa: -Nou menm, pèp mwen ki rete sou mòn Siyon an, nou pa bezwen pè moun peyi Lasiri yo k'ap woule nou anba baton, k'ap leve men yo pou yo frape nou menm jan moun peyi Lejip yo te fè nou an.
25 For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.
Talè konsa, m'ap fin regle ak nou. Apre sa, m'ap vire sou yo, m'ap disparèt yo.
26 And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.
Mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'ap pran fwèt pou m' bat yo, menm jan mwen te bat moun peyi Madyan yo bò gwo wòch Orèb la. M'ap fè peyi Lasiri soufri menm jan mwen te fè peyi Lejip soufri a.
27 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.
Lè jou sa a va rive, m'a wete chay sa a sou zepòl nou; m'a delivre nou anba moun peyi Lasiri yo. Nou p'ap nan mizè ankò, n'ap gen tou sa n'a bezwen.
28 He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.
Lènmi gen tan rive nan peyi Ajat! Men y'ap travèse peyi Migwon! Yo kite tout zafè yo lavil Mikmas.
29 They have gone over the passage, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Yo travèse pas la! Yo pase nwit lan lavil Geba! Moun lavil Rama yo ap tranble. Moun lavil Gibeya yo, peyi wa Sayil la, kouri mete deyò.
30 Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.
Nou menm moun lavil Gatim, pete rele! Nou menm moun lavil Layich, mache sou piga nou! Nou menm moun lavil Anatòt, nou nan ka!
31 Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Moun lavil Madmena yo chape kò yo. Moun lavil Gebim yo al kache.
32 Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
Jòdi a, lènmi an fè yon rete lavil Nòb. L'ap giyonnen moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon yo. L'ap lonje dwèt sou lavil Jerizalèm.
33 Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,
Seyè sèl Mèt ki gen tout pouvwa a pral desann yo tankou branch bwa y'ap koupe mete atè. L'ap koupe tèt tou sa ki wo yo. Tou sa ki byen kanpe yo, l'ap lage yo atè.
34 And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!
L'ap koupe yo tankou lè y'ap mete rach nan gwo pyebwa nan rak. Bèl pyebwa ki sou mòn Liban yo pral kouche plat atè!
