Ezayi 23
1 Men yon mesaj pou lavil Tir: -Nou menm maren ki sou batiman Tasis yo, nou mèt plenn sò nou! Lavil Tasis fini. Pa gen kay ankò, pa gen pò! Yo t'ap tounen soti peyi Kitim lè yo pran nouvèl la.
The burden of Tyrus. Howle, yee shippes of Tarshish: for it is destroied, so that there is none house: none shall come from the lande of Chittim: it is reueiled vnto them.
2 Nou menm kòmèsan Sidon yo, moun lakòt, nou pral rete men nan bouch. Nou te voye moun lòt bò lanmè
Be still, yee that dwell in the yles: the marchantes of Zidon, and such as passe ouer the sea, haue replenished thee.
3 achte ble yo rekòlte bò larivyè Nil nan peyi Lejip la, apre sa pou nou mache vann li avèk gwo benefis. Nou t'ap fè kòmès ak tout peyi.
The seede of Nilus growing by the abundance of waters, and the haruest of the riuer was her reuenues, and she was a marte of the nations.
4 Lavil Sidon, ou menm ki te yon si bon pò, yo pral fè ou wont! Lanmè a pale, li di konsa: Mwen pa janm gen pitit, mwen pa janm fè pitit. Mwen pa janm gen pitit gason pou m' elve, ni pitit fi pou m' bay levasyon.
Be ashamed, thou Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, euen the strength of the sea, saying, I haue not trauailed, nor brought forth children, neither nourished yong men, nor brought vp virgins.
5 Lè moun Lejip yo va pran nouvèl sa ki te rive lavil Tir, yo pral tranble nan kanson yo!
When the fame commeth to the Egyptians, they shall be sorie, concerning the rumour of Tyrus.
6 Nou menm moun peyi Finisi, moun lakòt, travèse lòt bò lanmè. Al nan peyi Tasis. Nou mèt plenn sò nou!
Goe you ouer to Tarshish: howle, yee that dwell in the yles.
7 Lavil sa a, se pa lavil kote moun te toujou ap fè fèt la? Se pa yon lavil ki la depi nan tan lontan? Se pa lavil ki te konn voye yon koloni moun pa l' yo al tabli nan peyi lòt bò lanmè pou chita pouvwa li plis?
Is not this that your glorious citie? her antiquitie is of ancient daies: her owne feete shall leade her afarre off to be a soiourner.
8 Se lavil Tir wa a te chita ap nonmen chèf. Tout kòmèsan li yo, se gwo chèf yo te ye. Negosyan l' yo menm, se moun yo te respekte toupatou sou latè. Kilès ki te pran desizyon fè lavil Tir la sa?
Who hath decreed this against Tyrus (that crowneth men) whose marchantes are princes? whose chapmen are the nobles of the worlde?
9 Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te pran desizyon sa a. Li fè sa pou kraze lògèy yo te genyen pou tout bèl bagay yo te fè, pou l' te ka trennen tout grannèg peyi a nan labou.
The Lord of hostes hath decreed this, to staine the pride of all glorie, and to bring to contempt all them that be glorious in the earth.
10 Nou menm moun li yo ki nan peyi Tasis, pito nou travay tè nou tankou moun bò larivyè Nil yo. Pa gen moun pou pwoteje nou ankò.
Passe through thy lande like a flood to the daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
11 Seyè a te lonje men l' anwo lanmè a. Li te jete wa ki t'ap gouvènen yo a. Li te bay lòd pou yo detwi tout pò moun Finisi yo te gen nan peyi Kanaran.
He stretched out his hand vpon the sea: he shooke the kingdomes: the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning the place of marchandise, to destroy the power thereof.
12 Li di: -Nou menm, moun lavil Siyon, nou pa nan fè fèt ankò! Nou tankou yon jenn fi yo ta fè kadejak sou li. Nou mèt leve, travèse lòt bò lanmè. Al nan peyi Kitim. Menm la, yo p'ap kite nou an repo.
And he saide, Thou shalt no more reioyce when thou art oppressed: O virgin daughter of Zidon: rise vp, goe ouer vnto Chittim: yet there thou shalt haue no rest.
13 Gade peyi Tir la! Se pa moun Lasiri yo ki te lage l' nan men bèt nan bwa yo. Se moun Babilòn yo ki te fè sa. Se yo ki te bati fò won byen wo pou sènen peyi a. Yo kraze tout fò lavil Tir yo. Yo fè yo tounen mazi.
Behold the lande of the Caldeans: this was no people: Asshur founded it by the inhabitantes of the wildernesse: they set vp the towers thereof: they raised the palaces thereof and hee brought it to ruine.
14 Nou menm maren ki sou batiman Tasis yo, nou mèt plenn sò nou, paske yo detwi gwo pò nou an!
Howle yee shippes of Tarshish, for your strength is destroyed.
15 Yon lè ap rive, yo pral bliye lavil Tir pandan swasanndizan, laj yon wa rive genyen anvan li mouri. Men, apre swasanndizan sa yo, lavil Tir pral tankou jennès yo pale nan chante a:
And in that day shall Tyrus bee forgotten seuentie yeeres, (according to the yeeres of one King) at the ende of seuentie yeeres shall Tyrus sing as an harlot.
16 Pran gita ou! Mache nan tout lavil la! Ou menm, jennès yo te bliye a! Jwe bèl mizik, chante bèl chante ou yo ankò pou yo ka chonje ou!
Take an harpe and go about the citie: (thou harlot thou hast beene forgotten) make sweete melodie, sing moe songes that thou maiest be remembred.
17 Wi, apre swasanndizan, Seyè a va kite lavil Tir reprann menm vye kòmès li a. Lavil Tir pral lage kò l' nan fè bagay derespektan ankò, li pral nan fè dezòd ak tout chèf k'ap gouvènen toupatou sou latè.
And at the ende of seuentie yeres shall the Lord visite Tyrus, and shee shall returne to her wages, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdomes of the earth, that are in the world.
18 Men, y'ap pran lajan y'ap ba li a ansanm ak benefis l'ap fè nan kòmès sal li a, y'ap mete yo apa pou Seyè a. Li p'ap ka ranmase yo pou l' sere. Se moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a ki pral sèvi ak lajan sa a pou achte manje plen vant yo ak bèl rad pou mete sou yo.
Yet her occupying and her wages shall bee holy vnto the Lord: it shall not be laied vp nor kept in store, but her marchandise shalbe for them that dwell before the Lord, to eate sufficiently, and to haue durable clothing.
