Ezayi 16
1 Moun peyi Moab yo ap rete lavil Sila nan dezè a, y'ap voye yon mouton fè chèf lavil Jerizalèm lan kado sou tèt mòn Siyon an.
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Y'ap rete tann bò larivyè Anon an. Yo san pozisyon, yo tankou ti zwazo yo mete deyò nan nich yo.
For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
3 Y'ap di moun peyi Jida yo: -Ban nou ti konsèy non! Di nou sa pou nou fè! Pwoteje nou anba zèl ou, tankou yon pyebwa k'ap bay bon lonbray fre gwo midi. Se chape n'ap chache chape kò nou. Tanpri, kache nou. Pa lage nou nan men lènmi nou yo.
Give counsel. Execute justice. Make your shade like the night in the midst of the noonday. Hide the outcasts. Do not betray the fugitive.
4 Kite nou rete nan peyi nou an. Pwoteje nou anba moun ki soti pou fini ak nou yo. Moun ki t'ap kraze nou an p'ap la ankò. Piyay la ap fini. Moun ki t'ap pilonnen peyi a anba pye yo a ap disparèt.
Let the outcasts of Moab dwell with you; be a hiding place to them from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is at an end, destruction has ceased, oppressors have finished from the land.
5 Gouvènman peyi Jida a pral kanpe byen kanpe. Yon chèf pral soti nan ras fanmi wa David la. Li pral moute chita sou fotèy la pou l' dirije pèp la avèk bon kè, san patipri. L'ap soti pou l' fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye. L'ap prese fè tout moun jistis.
A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
6 Moun peyi Jida yo di: -Nou tande jan moun Moab yo se moun ki gen lògèy. Wa pa kouzen yo. Nou konnen jan yo estomake, jan yo gen gwo tanta, jan yo awogan. Men, tou sa se van. Anyen menm!
We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
7 Men moun Moab yo pral plenyen sò peyi Moab la. Yo tout pral kriye lè y'a chonje bon pen rezen yo konn jwenn lavil Kyerès. Yo pral plenn, y'ap pèdi tout kouraj yo.
Ah, let not Moab wail; let everyone wail for Moab. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
8 Gwo jaden peyi Esbon yo pral deperi. Pye rezen lavil Sibma yo ki te konn bay bon diven chèf nasyon yo te konn bwè a pral cheche. Te gen yon lè jaden rezen sa yo te rive jouk bò lavil Jazè. Yo te pouse kouvri tout dezè a. Yo te gaye kò yo toupatou rive lòt bò lanmè Mouri a.
For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
9 Se poutèt sa, m'ap kriye pou pye rezen Sibma yo, jan mwen te kriye pou jaden rezen Jazè yo. Dlo ap kouri nan je m' pou Esbon ak Eleale, paske moun ap rele pou bèl rezen yo te konn rekòlte la a.
Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
10 Nanpwen kè kontan ak fèt nan jaden nou yo! Nan jaden rezen nou yo, nanpwen chante, nanpwen koudjay ankò! Pa gen rezen pou kraze nan basen kote yo fè ji. Tout fèt kaba!
Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing and there will be no jubilant shouting. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
11 Se poutèt sa, m'a plenn, kè m' fè m' mal pou peyi Moab, mwen nan gwo lapenn pou lavil Kyerès.
Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
12 Moun peyi Moab yo ap touye tèt yo moute nan mòn. Yo pral nan tanp pou yo lapriyè. Men, sa p'ap sèvi yo anyen.
It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
13 Anvan sa, men sa Seyè a te di k'ap rive lavil Moab la.
This is the word that Jehovah spoke concerning Moab in time past.
14 Koulye a, Seyè a pale ankò. Li di konsa: Nan twazan, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, yo pral pase sa ki fè pouvwa peyi Moab la nan tenten. Atout li gen anpil moun koulye a, se de twa ase ki pral rete, yon ti ponyen tou fèb ki p'ap vo anyen!
But now Jehovah has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble."
