Ezayi 22
1 Men yon mesaj pou Fon Vizyon an: -Sa k'ap pase konsa? Poukisa tout moun nan lavil la ap moute sou teras anwo kay yo pou fè fèt konsa?
This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
2 Tout lavil la tèt anba. Toupatou se bri, se banbòch. Moun ki mouri nan mitan nou yo, se pa nan goumen ni nan lagè yo mouri.
O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
3 Tout chèf lame nou yo vole gadjè. Anvan menm yo te voye yon flèch, yo te gen tan fè yo tout prizonye. Tout moun ki t'ap kouri met deyò yo, yo fè yo tout prizonye tou.
All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
4 Se poutèt sa mwen di: Kite m' pou kont mwen pou m' ka kriye kont kriye mwen! Pa chache konsole m' pou gwo malè sèk sa a ki tonbe sou pèp mwen an!
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
5 Jounen jòdi a, se yon jou debandad, se jou yo pèdi batay la, se jou pesonn pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki fè sa rive nou. Nan Fon Vizyon an, y'ap kraze miray lavil yo met atè. Nan tout mòn yo, y'ap rele mande sekou.
For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
6 Sòlda peyi Elam yo moute sou cha yo ak sou chwal yo. Banza yo ak flèch yo tou pare, y'ap vini. Lame peyi Ki a pran zam pou pare kou yo.
Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
7 Cha lagè anvayi tout plenn kote nou gen pi bon venn tè jaden. Sòlda yo kanpe sou chwal yo devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.
Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
8 Pa gen anyen ankò pou defann moun peyi Jida yo. Lè sa a, nou kouri al chache zam nan depo zam palè wa a.
He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
9 Nou te wè te gen anpil kote ki fann nan miray lavil David la. Nou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan rezèvwa anba a.
You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
10 Nou mache konte tout kay ki nan lavil Jerizalèm. Nou kraze de twa ladan yo pou nou fè miray lavil la pi solid.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
11 Nou bati yon rezèvwa nan mitan de miray pou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan Vye Basen. Men, nou pa janm dòmi reve Bondye, li menm ki te fè lide sa a depi lontan, li menm ki lakòz tout bagay sa yo rive konsa.
You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
12 Jou sa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te rele nou, li te mande nou pou nou kriye, pou nou plenn, pou nou koupe tout cheve nan tèt nou, pou nou mete rad sak sou nou.
On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 Men, gade! Nou pito rete ap ri, n'ap fè fèt, n'ap touye bèf, n'ap touye kabrit ak mouton pou n' manje, n'ap bwè diven. N'ap plede di: Annou manje, annou bwè, paske denmen nou pral mouri.
But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale nan zòrèy mwen, li di m': Yo p'ap janm padonnen moun sa yo fòt yo fè la a jouk jou yo mouri. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
15 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di m' ankò: -Ale kay Chebna, chèf ki reskonsab kay wa a. Msye te fè fouye yon kavo sou ti mòn lan pou lè li mouri. W'a di l' pou mwen:
This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
16 Kisa ou genyen ki pou ou isit la? Ki fanmi ou gen isit la pou ou fè fouye yon kavo pou ou nan flan ti mòn lan?
What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
17 Ou mèt grannèg kont kò ou, Seyè a pral pase men l' pran ou, l'ap voye ou jete byen lwen.
Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
18 L'ap plòtonnen ou, l'ap fè ou tounen yon boul, l'ap voye ou al teri nan yon pi gwo peyi. Se la l'ap voye ou al mouri nan mitan tout cha ki t'ap fè ou fè tout granpanpan sa a. Ou se yon wont pou kay mèt ou a.
roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
19 M'ap kase ou nan plas kote ou ye a, m'ap fè ou desann soti kote ou chita a.
I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
20 Lè sa a, m'a voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Elyakim, pitit gason Ilkija a.
On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21 M'a pran palto ki sou do ou la, m'a ba li l'. M'a pran senti ki pase nan ren ou lan, m'a mare ren pa l' avè l'. Pouvwa ou te genyen an, m'ap ba li l': l'ap tankou yon papa pou tout moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida.
I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Apre wa a, pitit pitit ki soti nan fanmi David la, se li menm k'ap sèl chèf. M'ap ba li kle pou l' reskonsab kay David la: Lè li louvri, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen. Lè li fèmen, pesonn p'ap ka louvri.
I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
23 M'ap mete l' chita, l'ap tankou yon zegwi bwa yo fè antre byen fon nan yon poto. Li pral sèvi yon lwanj pou fanmi papa l'.
I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
24 Men, tout fanmi l', tout ti fanmi l' yo pral tounen yon chay twò lou pou li. Yo pral pandye nan kou l' tankou gode ak bòl ki pandye nan yon zegwi bwa.
So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
25 Lè sa a, men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Zegwi yo te fè antre byen fon nan poto a pral rache. L'ap soti, l'ap tonbe atè, epi tout chay ki sou li a pral tonbe tou. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
