Isaiah 33
1 Woe, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee.
Malè a ou menm, O ou ki detwi lòt pandan ou pa t detwi; epi sila ki fè trèt pandan lòt moun pa t aji an trèt avè w. Depi ou fin detwi, ou osi va vin detwi nèt. Depi ou fin fè trèt, lòt moun va fè trèt kont ou.
2 O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity.
O SENYÈ, fè nou gras. Nou t ap tann Ou. Sèvi kon fòs pa nou chak maten, delivrans pa nou nan tan gwo twoub.
3 From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.
Lè bri zen an vin leve, pèp yo sove ale. Lè Ou fè leve Ou menm, nasyon yo gaye.
4 And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.
Piyaj pa W va ranmase tankou cheni ranmase. Tankou krikèt volan konn vòltije, se konsa y ap vòltije sou li.
5 Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
SENYÈ a leve wo, paske se anwo ke Li rete. Li te ranpli Sion ak jistis ak ladwati.
6 And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah — it [is] His treasure.
Se Li k ap fè tan pa nou estab, richès a delivrans, sajès ak konesans. Lakrent SENYÈ a se trezò ou.
7 Lo, 'Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
Gade byen, mesye pwisan pa yo, kriye nan lari, anbasadè lapè yo kriye fò.
8 Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man.
Gran chemen yo rete vid. Moun ki vwayaje yo sispann. Li te kase akò a. Li te meprize vil yo. Li pa respekte pèsòn.
9 Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.
Peyi a kriye ak doulè, ak kè fennen. Liban vin wont e tanme disparèt. Saron vin tankou yon dezè e Basan ak Carmel pèdi tout fèyaj.
10 Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
“Koulye a, Mwen va leve”, SENYÈ a di: “Koulye a Mwen va egzalte. Koulye a Mwen va leve wo.
11 Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! — fire devoureth you.
Nou te ansent pay, e nou va akouche pay. Souf Mwen va manje nou tankou dife.
12 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn.
Pèp yo va brile kon lacho, tankou pikan koupe ki fin brile nan dife a.”
13 Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might.
“Nou menm ki lwen yo, koute sa ke M te fè a; epi nou menm ki toupre, rekonèt pwisans Mwen.”
14 Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us — consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us — burnings of the age?
Pechè Sion yo vin sezi ak laperèz; tranbleman fin sezi enkwayan yo. Se kilès pami nou ki ka viv ak yon dife ki manje tout bagay? “Se kilès nan nou ki ka viv ak dife k ap brile tou tan an?”
15 Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
Sila ki mache nan ladwati a e ki pale ak kè sensè a? Sila ki refize benefis lajan ki sòti nan enjistis la, e ki souke men l pou sa ki vèse anba tab pa rete nan yo; sila ki bouche zòrèy li pou l pa menm tande afè vèse san, e ki fèmen zye l pou l pa gade mal.
16 He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.
Li va demere nan wotè yo; pwotèj pa li va nan wòch solid ke lènmi yo pa ka pwoche. Pen li va vèse bay li, e dlo li va asire.
17 A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
Zye nou va wè Wa a nan tout bèlte Li. Yo va wè yon peyi ki byen lwen.
18 Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
Kè ou va medite sou gwo laperèz la. “Kote sila ki te konte a? Kote sila ki te peze a? Kote sila ki te konte fò yo?”
19 The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
Ou p ap ankò wè yon pèp fewòs, yon pèp ak langaj dwòl ke ou pa konprann, a lang bege ke pèsòn pa konprann.
20 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.
Gade sou Sion, gran vil a gwo fèt dezinye yo. Zye ou va wè Jérusalem, yon abitasyon san twoub, yon tant ki p ap bezwen pliye. Pikèt li p ap janm rache, ni kòd li yo p ap chire.
21 But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers — streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.
Men la, SENYÈ va avèk nou nan majeste, yon kote ak rivyè ak gwo kanal, sou sila gwo kannòt ak anpil zaviwon p ap janm pase, ni gwo bato p ap janm pase la.
22 For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king — He doth save us.
Paske SENYÈ a se jij nou. Se SENYÈ a ki bay lwa nou yo. Se SENYÈ a ki wa nou. Se Li menm ki va sove nou.
23 Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil.
Kòd vwal nou yo vin lach. Yo p at ka soutini baz ma bato a byen, ni kenbe vwal la gran ouvri. Alò, piyaj la a gwo boutin nan te divize. Sila ki bwate a te pran piyaj la.
24 Nor doth an inhabitant say, 'I was sick,' The people that is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity!
Pèp peyi a pa p di: “Mwen malad”. Moun ki rete la yo va padone pou inikite yo.
