Ezayi 10
1 Madichon pou chèf k'ap bay move lòd pou kache lenjistis y'ap fè, k'ap ekri move lwa pou peze pèp la!
Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:
2 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!
To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
3 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?
What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 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!
That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 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.
Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 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.
I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 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.
But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Li t'ap plede di: Tout chèf lame mwen yo se wa yo ye nan lòt peyi!
For he shall say:
9 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.
Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 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,
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.
11 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.
Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 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.
And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 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'.
For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high.
14 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.
And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.
15 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.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood.
16 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.
Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.
17 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.
And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.
18 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'.
And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear.
19 P'ap rete anpil pyebwa nan rak li yo ankò. Nenpòt timoun piti ka konte ti rès la.
And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.
20 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that striketh them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Se yon ti ponyen moun ase, yon ti rès nan fanmi Jakòb la k'ap tounen vin jwenn Bondye yo a ki gen pouvwa.
The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 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.
For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice.
23 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.
For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land.
24 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.
Therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt.
25 Talè konsa, m'ap fin regle ak nou. Apre sa, m'ap vire sou yo, m'ap disparèt yo.
For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.
26 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.
And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt.
27 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil.
28 Lènmi gen tan rive nan peyi Ajat! Men y'ap travèse peyi Migwon! Yo kite tout zafè yo lavil Mikmas.
He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages.
29 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.
They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away.
30 Nou menm moun lavil Gatim, pete rele! Nou menm moun lavil Layich, mache sou piga nou! Nou menm moun lavil Anatòt, nou nan ka!
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth.
31 Moun lavil Madmena yo chape kò yo. Moun lavil Gebim yo al kache.
Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.
32 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.
It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 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.
Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.
34 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!
And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
