Ezayi 18

1 Lòt bò larivyè peyi Letiopi yo, gen yon peyi kote yo tande yon bri tankou bri zèl yon bann krikèt.

Oh, the lande shadowing with winges, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia,

2 Mesaje ap soti nan peyi sa a, y'ap desann larivyè Nil lan nan pipirit fèt ak wozo. Nou menm mesaje yo, mete zèl nan pye nou. Tounen lakay nou. Pote nouvèl la bay moun peyi nou an. Se yon gwo peyi ki fò anpil, ki gen anpil larivyè k'ap koule ladan l'. Al pote nouvèl la bay moun bèl wotè yo, ki gen po yo boule nan solèy. Se yon pèp tout moun pè.

Sending ambassadours by the Sea, euen in vessels of reedes vpon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, vnto a terrible people from their beginning euen hitherto: a nation by litle and litle, euen troden vnder foote, whose land the floods haue spoyled.

3 Nou tout ki rete sou latè, leve je nou gade. Yo pral bay siyal la ak drapo kanpe sou tèt mòn yo. Louvri zòrèy nou, tande. Yo pral sonnen klewon an.

Al ye the inhabitants of ye world and dwellers in the earth, shall see when he setteth vp a signe in the mountaines, and when he bloweth the trumpet, ye shall heare.

4 Seyè a di m' konsa: M'ap rete rete m' kote m' ye nan syèl la, m'ap gade anba san m' pa fè ankenn bri, tankou solèy la lè l'ap klere gwo midi, tankou lawouze k'ap tonbe nan mitan chalè lannwit nan sezon rekòt.

For so the Lord saide vnto me, I will rest and beholde in my tabernacle, as the heate drying vp the rayne, and as a cloude of dewe in the heate of haruest.

5 Paske, menm jan anvan rekòt rezen yo, lè yo fin fleri, lè rezen yo pral mi, yo debranche yo ak kouto, yo wete tout ti branch yo, yo ba yo lè, se konsa lènmi yo pral detwi moun peyi Letiopi yo.

For afore the haruest when the floure is finished, and the fruite is riping in the floure, then he shall cut downe the branches with hookes, and shall take away, and cut off the boughes:

6 Yo pral kite kadav sòlda yo konsa pou zwezo ki manje vyann epi ki rete nan mòn ak pou bèt nan bwa. Nan sezon chalè, zwezo va vin manje yo. Nan sezon fredi, se bèt nan bwa ki va vin manje yo.

They shall be left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beastes of the earth: for the foule shall sommer vpon it, and euery beast of the earth shall winter vpon it.

7 Lè sa a, bann moun bèl wotè ki gen po yo boule nan solèy, pèp tout moun pè a, moun ki rete nan gwo peyi ki gen fò anpil la, yo menm ki rete nan peyi ki nan tèt dlo larivyè Nil lan, y'a pote kado bay Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Y'a vin jouk sou mòn Siyon an kote moun fè sèvis pou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.

At that time shall a present be brought vnto the Lord of hostes, (a people that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, and of a terrible people from their beginning hitherto, a nation, by litle and litle euen troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoyled) to the place of the Name of the Lord of hostes, euen the mount Zion.
