< Isaiah 22 >
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What — to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee — to the roofs?
Pwofesi konsènan vale a vizyon an. Sa k pase nou koulye a, ke nou tout monte sou twati kay yo?
2 Full of stirs — a noisy city — an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
Nou menm ki te plen ak gwo bri, nou menm vil plen ak zen. Mò pa nou yo pa t mouri akoz nepe, ni yo pa t mouri nan batay la.
3 All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.
Tout chèf nou yo te kouri ale ansanm e te kaptire san sèvi ak banza yo. Nou tout ke yo te twouve yo te kaptire ansanm, malgre yo te sove ale rive byen lwen.
4 Therefore I said, 'Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.'
Akoz sa, mwen di nou: “Tounen zye nou byen lwen m; kite mwen kriye byen fò, pa eseye rekonfòte m pou destriksyon a fi a pèp mwen an.”
5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.
Paske Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te fè yon jou panik opresyon ak konfizyon nan vale vizyon an, miray ki kraze ak kriye nan mòn lan.
6 And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men — horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.
Élam te leve fouwo flèch yo, cha yo, sòlda sou pa yo ak chevalye yo; epi Kir te dekouvri boukliye a.
7 And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.
Vale pi bèl nou yo te vin plen ak cha e chevalye yo te pran pozisyon yo nan pòtay la.
8 And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,
Epi li te retire defans Juda. Nan jou sa a, nou te depann de zam a kay forè yo.
9 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,
Nou te wè ke brèch nan miray vil a David yo te anpil; epi nou te fè koleksyon dlo nan etan dlo pi ba a.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.
Konsa nou te konte kay Jérusalem e nou te detwi kay yo pou ranfòse miray la.
11 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.
Nou te fè yon rezèvwa antre de miray yo pou dlo a ansyen etan dlo a. Men nou pa t depann sou Li ki te fè l, ni ou pa t fè konsiderasyon de Li ki te fè plan an depi tan ansyen nan.
12 And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
Akoz sa, nan jou ke Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te rele nou pou kriye ak gwo plenyen yo, pou pase razwa nan tèt ak mete twal sak yo.
13 And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Men olye sa, nou fè gwo fèt ak kè kontan, touye bèf, kòche mouton, manje vyann ak bwè diven: “Kite nou fè fèt; paske demen nou va mouri.”
14 And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.
Men SENYÈ dèzame yo te revele Li menm nan zore m yo: “Anverite, nou p ap padone pou krim sa a jiskaske nou mouri”, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.
15 Thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: 'Go, enter in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house:
Se konsa, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo: “Vini, ale kote jeran sila a, kote Schebna ki se chèf an tèt anndan kay wa a.
16 What — to thee here? And who — to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here — a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.
‘Ki dwa ou gen isit la e se kilès ou gen isit la ki fè w fouye yon tonm pou ou menm isit la?’ Ou menm ki fouye yon tonm sou gran wotè a, ki fouye yon plas repo nan wòch la?”
17 Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
Gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou voye ou tèt devan. Li prèt pou sezi ou byen di,
18 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides — there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.
epi fè ou woule fè yon bòl pou jete nan yon gwo peyi. La, ou va mouri e la, bèl cha ou yo ap ye; Ou menm ki se wont pou lakay mèt ou a.
19 And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth thee down.
M ap retire ou nan pozisyon ou e m ap rale ou desann soti nan wo plas ou.
20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va voye rele sèvitè Mwen an, Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a,
21 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
Mwen va abiye l ak vètman pa w e tache sentiwon pa w, byen tache sou li. Mwen va fè l konfyans pou l pran otorite pa w la e li va vin yon papa a sila ki rete Jérusalem yo ak lakay Juda a.
22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.
Konsa, Mwen va mete kle lakay David la sou zepòl li. Lè l ouvri li, pèsòn p ap fèmen l e lè l fèmen l, pèsòn p ap ouvri li.
23 And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father.
Mwen va kondwi li antre tankou yon klou sou yon kote byen solid e li va devni yon twòn glwa pou lakay papa l.
24 And they have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
Konsa, yo va kloue sou li tout glwa lakay papa l, desandan ak sila k ap vini yo, tout veso pi piti yo, soti nan bòl, jis rive nan bokal.
25 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'
“Nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Klou ki kloue nan yon kote solid la, va rache tonbe. Epi chaj ki kenbe sou li a va koupe retire nèt; paske SENYÈ a te pale.”
