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?
The doom of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the roofs?
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 noiseful, tumultuous city, joyous town? thy slain ones are not slain with the sword, and not those that die 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 thy rulers are fled together, they are made prisoners by the bowmen: all that are found in thee are made prisoners together, who have run away from afar.
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 said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; be not urgent to comfort me, because of the wasting 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 a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity hath the Lord Eternal of hosts in the valley of vision; walls are broken, and crying is heard against the mountain.
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.
And 'Elam beareth the quiver, [cometh] with men in chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovereth 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.
And it is so, that thy choicest valleys are full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array against the gate.
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.
And he laid open the covering of Judah; and thou didst look on that day toward the armor of 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.
And the breaches of the city of David have ye seen, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of 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.
And the houses of Jerusalem have ye numbered, and ye have pulled down the houses to fortify 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.
And a tank have ye made between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked at the Maker thereof, him that fashioned it in distant times have ye not regarded.
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.
And the Lord Eternal of hosts called on that day for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with 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.
And behold [there are] gladness and joy, slaying of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we must 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.
And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven unto you until ye die, said the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
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:
Thus hath said the Lord, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is [superintendent] over the house;
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 hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn out for thyself here a sepulchre, [the man] that hath hewn out on high his sepulchre, that holloweth out in the rock a habitation for himself?
17 Ou mèt grannèg kont kò ou, Seyè a pral pase men l' pran ou, l'ap voye ou jete byen lwen.
Behold, the Lord will thrust thee about with a mighty throw, O man! and will lay fast hold of thee;
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.
He will roll thee up as a bundle, and [toss thee] like a ball into a country of ample space: there shalt thou die, and there shall [remain] the chariots of thy glory, thou disgrace of the house of thy lord.
19 M'ap kase ou nan plas kote ou ye a, m'ap fè ou desann soti kote ou chita a.
And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.
20 Lè sa a, m'a voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Elyakim, pitit gason Ilkija a.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.
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.
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants 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.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall 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'.
And I will fasten him as a tent-nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a chair of honor to his father's house.
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.
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the shoots and offshoots, all the small vessels, from the vessels of basins, even to all the vessels of flagons.
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.
On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall be removed the nail that is fastened in the sure place, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
