Ezayi 13
1 Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, sou lavil Babilòn:
THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
2 -Mete yon drapo kanpe sou tèt yon mòn kote pa gen pyebwa menm! Rele byen fò pou sòlda yo pare yo! Leve men ou anlè. Ba yo siyal pou y' al atake pòtay lavil grannèg yo!
Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
3 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap bay sèvitè m' yo lòd! M'ap rele tout vanyan sòlda mwen yo, tout moun pa m' yo ki gen kè kontan, k'ap mache tèt anlè, pou yo pini moun k'ap fè m' fè kòlè yo.
I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
4 Koute yon gwo bri sou mòn yo! Se tankou bri yon gwo foul moun, yon kantite nasyon ak moun tout peyi k'ap sanble. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap fè enspeksyon lame li a anvan y' al goumen.
A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
5 Seyè a move, l'ap vini ansanm ak sòlda ki pral fè sa li ba yo lòd fè a. Y'ap soti byen lwen nan lòt peyi ki nan dènye bout latè pou yo vin ravaje tout peyi a.
to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
6 Nou mèt plenyen kont kò nou, paske jou Seyè a pre rive! Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pral vini pou l' devaste tè a.
Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
7 Se poutèt sa, tout moun sou latè pèdi kouraj, kè yo kase!
Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
8 Y'ap rete konsa, yo pral gen doulè ak lakranp nan tout kò yo. Yo pral tòde tankou fanm ansent ki gen tranche. Yonn ap gade lòt san di krik, y'ap rete ak je yo louvri byen gran tèlman y'a wont.
The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
9 Jou Seyè a ap rive. Seyè a ap san pitye, l'ap fè gwo kòlè, l'ap move anpil. L'ap fè tè a tounen yon dezè, l'ap disparèt dènye moun k'ap fè sa ki mal!
For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
10 Tout grenn zetwal nan syèl la, tout zetwal Oryon yo p'ap klere ankò. Solèy la ap tou nwa lè li leve, lalin lan menm p'ap klere ankò.
For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
11 Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè dezolasyon tonbe sou tout latè poutèt mechanste moun yo ap fè. Mwen pral pini tout mechan yo poutèt fòfè y'ap fè yo. Mwen pral kraze lògèy tout moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo. Mwen pral kraze awogans tout mechan k'ap peze moun anba pye yo.
And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
12 Moun k'ap chape yo ap pi ra pase bon lò, pase bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi.
And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
13 Se poutèt sa, jou mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a fè move san an, jou m'a fè gwo kòlè mwen an, m'ap fè syèl la tranble, m'ap fè tè a kite plas kote li ye a.
For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
14 Lè sa a, moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi Babilòn lan va kouri al lakay yo nan peyi yo, tankou gazèl bèf mawon k'ap kouri pou chasè, tankou mouton san gadò ki gaye nan savann.
And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
15 Y'ap touye tout moun peyi a y'a kontre sou wout yo, y'ap kraze tout moun peyi a y'a bare sou chemen yo.
For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
16 Y'ap krabinen ti pitit yo la devan je yo, y'ap piye kay yo, y'ap fè kadejak sou madanm yo.
And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
17 Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral voye moun peyi Medi yo vin atake yo. Se yon bann moun lajan pa di yo anyen, lò pa tante yo.
Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
18 Avèk banza yo, yo pral touye jenn gason. Y'ap san pitye pou timoun fenk fèt. Kè yo p'ap fè yo mal pou timoun piti.
They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
19 Lavil Babilòn, se yon bijou. Se li ki pi bèl pase tout peyi. Moun peyi Kalde yo plen lògèy, y'ap fè grandizè poutèt li. Men, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap kraze l' tankou mwen te kraze lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò.
And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
20 Moun p'ap janm al rete la ankò. L'ap rete san moun pou tout tan. Moun peyi Arabi k'ap mache nan dezè yo p'ap janm moute tant yo bò la, ni ankenn gadò mouton p'ap janm mennen mouton yo vin manje bò la.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
21 Se la tout bèt nan bwa pral rete. Koukou pral fè nich nan tout kay yo. Se la otrich pral fè kay yo. Se la kabrit mawon pral danse kalenda.
But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
22 Chen mawon pral wouke nan gwo kay yo. Chat mawon pral pran plezi yo nan bèl palè yo. Lè a prèt pou sonnen pou lavil Babilòn, jou l' prèt pou bout.
