Ezayi 19

1 Men mesaj Bondye bay sou peyi Lejip la: -Seyè a chita sou yon nwaj k'ap kouri desann bò peyi Lejip la. Zidòl Lejip yo tranble devan l'. Moun peyi Lejip yo gen kè kase.

THE VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.

2 Seyè a di: M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo leve yonn dèyè lòt. Yo pral goumen yonn ak lòt, vwazinaj ak vwazinaj, vil ak vil, chèf ak chèf.

And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbour, city against city, and law against law.

3 Nou pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo, yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè. Yo pral rele nan pye zidòl yo, yo pral kay majisyen, kay divinò ak kay moun k'ap rele mò.

And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.

4 Mwen pral lage moun Lejip yo nan men yon chèf ki rèd anpil, nan men yon wa mechan ki pral gouvènen yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!

And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus says the Lord of hosts.

5 Dlo larivyè Nil lan pral bese jouk l'a rive chèch nèt.

And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.

6 Kannal yo pral santi, dlo kannal yo pral bese jouk yo chèch. Pye wozo ak pye jon yo pral fennen.

And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.

7 Tout pyebwa ki pouse, tout jaden yo te plante bò larivyè Nil, depi anwo jouk nan lanbouchi, pral cheche. Van pral bwote yo ale, li p'ap kite anyen.

And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.

8 Pechè yo pral plenn, moun ki te konn peche pwason ak zen nan larivyè a pral pran lapenn. Moun ki te konn voye privye nan larivyè a pral nan gwo chagren.

And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.

9 Moun ki te konn fè bèl twal swa yo pral dekouraje. Sa ki te konn tise lenn yo, sa ki te konn tise bèl twal blan yo pral nan lafliksyon.

And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.

10 Bòs k'ap fè twal yo pral nan gwo tèt chaje. Moun k'ap travay yo menm pral nan gwo lapenn.

And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.

11 Chèf lavil Zoan yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Sa ki pi fò nan moun k'ap bay farawon an konsèy yo, se ranse y'ap ranse. Ki jan yo ka fè di wa a se pitit ansyen moun lespri ak pitit ansyen wa yo li ye?

And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counsellors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings?

12 Farawon, kote moun lespri ou yo? Se pou yo ka di ou sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a gen lide fè peyi Lejip pase! Se pou yo ka fè ou konn sa!

Where are now your wise men? and let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon Egypt?

13 Chèf lavil Zoan ak chèf lavil Menmfis yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Yo kite moun ap twonpe yo! Yo te la pou mennen peyi Lejip sou bon chemen. Yo lage l' nan bwa.

The princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.

14 Seyè a fè tout moun nan peyi a pèdi tèt yo nèt! Sa ki rive? Peyi Lejip pèdi chemen l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, li tankou yon nonm sou k'ap glise tonbe nan sa l'ap vonmi an!

For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.

15 Nan peyi Lejip, pesonn, rich kou pòv, gwo kou piti, pa ka fè anyen pou peyi a ankò.

And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.

16 Jou sa a, gason peyi Lejip yo ap tankou fanm: yo pral tranble, kè yo pral kase lè y'a wè Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap leve men l' pou pini yo.

But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.

17 Peyi Jida a ap fè kè moun peyi Lejip yo sote. Chak fwa y'a nonmen non peyi Jida nan zòrèy yo, y'a pè, paske y'a chonje sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te gen lide fè yo pase.

And the land of the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning it.

18 Lè sa a, y'a gen senk lavil nan peyi Lejip kote moun va pale ebre. Moun la va pran non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou fè sèman. Yonn nan lavil sa yo va rele Lavil Solèy.

In that day there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.

19 Lè sa a va gen yon lotèl pou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a nan peyi Lejip. Sou fwontyè peyi a, y'ap kanpe yon gwo wòch y'ap mete apa pou Seyè a.

In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.

20 Sa va sèvi yon mak pou fè konnen Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a kanpe la nan peyi Lejip la. Lè moun va konprann pou fè yo pase tray, y'a lapriyè Seyè a mande l' sekou. Seyè a va voye yon moun pou vin delivre yo. L'a pran defans yo, l'a sove yo.

And it shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.

21 Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè moun Lejip yo konnen ki moun li ye. Yo menm y'a rekonèt sa, y'a ofri bèt pou touye pou li, y'a ofri rekòt nan jaden yo ba li. Y'a fè Seyè a gwo pwomès. Lèfini, y'a kenbe pwomès yo.

And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].

22 Seyè a gen pou l' pini moun Lejip yo. Men, l'a geri yo. Y'a tounen vin jwenn li. Seyè a va koute lè y'ap lapriyè nan pye l', l'a geri yo.

And the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly heal them.

23 Jou sa a, ap gen yon gwo wout k'ap soti peyi Lejip rive jouk nan peyi Lasiri. Moun peyi Lasiri va vwayaje al nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Lejip va vwayaje al nan peyi Lasiri. Tou de peyi yo pral sèvi Seyè a.

In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.

24 Lè sa a, peyi Izrayèl la va sou menm pye ak peyi Lejip ansanm ak peyi Lasiri: twa nasyon sa yo va yon benediksyon pou tout moun sou latè.

In that day shall Israel be third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,

25 Seyè a va beni yo, l'a di konsa: -benediksyon pou Lejip, pèp mwen an, pou Lasiri mwen te fè ak men mwen an, ak pou Izrayèl ki rele m' pa m' lan.

saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is amongst the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
