Ezayi 24
1 Seyè a pral souke tè a, li pral ravaje l'. Li pral boulvèse l'. Tout moun ki rete sou tè a pral kouri gaye toupatou.
Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—
2 Tout moun pral pase, prèt yo kou moun nan pèp la, esklav yo kou mèt yo, sèvant yo kou metrès yo, sa k'ap vann kou sa k'ap achte, sa k'ap bay ponya kou sa k'ap pran ponya, sa k'ap bay kredi kou sa k'ap pran kredi.
people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
3 Yo pral ravaje tout tè a, yo pral piye tout bagay. Seyè a fin pale, se sa ki pou rive.
The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered.
4 Tout moun sou latè nan lapenn. Yo pa kapab ankò. Pèp la ap plenn, y'ap deperi. Chèf yo ap plenn ansanm ak rès pèp la.
The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
5 Moun yo pa respekte peyi Bondye a. Yo pa koute lòd Bondye ba yo. Yo derefize fè sa l' te mande yo fè a, yo derefize obeyi kòmandman Bondye yo. Yo pa kenbe kontra li te fè ak yo pou tout tan an.
The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Se poutèt sa madichon ap fini ak latè: moun ki rete sou latè ap peye pou sa yo te fè ki mal. Y'ap deperi grenn pa grenn. Se yon ti ponyen ki rete.
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.
7 Pye rezen yo ap fennen. Ou pa ka jwenn diven. Tout moun ki te konn fè fèt yo ap plenn.
The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
8 Yo pa bat tanbou ankò. Pa gen gwo fèt ankò. Yo pa jwe gita ankò.
The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
9 Nanpwen chante ankò lè y'ap bwè diven. Gwòg vin anmè nan bouch gwògmann yo.
They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
10 Pa gen moun nan lavil la. Yo kite kay yo ap tonbe. Tout pòt kay fèmen, moun pa antre la ankò.
The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
11 Nan tout lari moun ap rele paske nanpwen diven ankò. Pa gen fèt rejwisans ankò. Nanpwen kè kontan nan peyi a.
In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
12 Lavil la ap fini, ata pòtay yo fin kraze.
The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
13 Se konsa sa pral ye nan tout peyi sou latè. Se va tankou apre rekòt lè y'ap gole dènye oliv ki rete nan pye oliv yo, lè y'ap fè grapyay apre rekòt rezen an.
So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
14 Sa ki chape yo pral rele, yo pral chante byen fò ak kè kontan. Y'ap rete bò solèy kouche a, yo pral di jan Seyè a gen pouvwa.
They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
15 Konsa tou, moun ki rete bò solèy leve pral fè lwanj Seyè a. Moun ki rete sou zile nan lanmè a pral fè chante pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
16 Byen lwen nan dènye bout latè, nou tande y'ap chante, y'ap fè lwanj pou moun ki mache dwat yo. Men mwen menm, mwen di: Pa gen rechap pou mwen! Pa gen chape pou mwen! Gade nan kisa m' ye! Trèt yo ap trayi moun toujou! Chak jou y'ap trayi moun pi rèd!
From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.
17 Nou menm ki rete sou latè, se kè sere, se gwo twou, se pèlen ki pare pou nou!
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth.
18 Moun k'ap kouri lè y'a tande rèl moun ki pè yo pral tonbe nan twou. Moun k'ap moute soti nan twou pral pran nan pèlen. Paske gwo lapli a pral tonbe sot nan syèl la. Fondasyon latè pral pran tranble.
Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Latè pral fann, l'ap pete fè miyèt moso. L'ap tranble, l'ap souke tout kò l'.
The earth is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently.
20 Latè pral balanse tankou moun sou. Li pral souke tankou yon ti joupa lè van ap soufle fò. Peche lèzòm yo peze lou sou li: l'ap tonbe, li p'ap janm ka leve ankò.
The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.
21 Jou sa a, Seyè a pral pini zanj yo ki anwo nan syèl la, l'ap pini tout chèf k'ap gouvènen sou latè.
In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
22 L'ap mete yo ansanm nan prizon nan yon tonm. L'ap fèmen yo nan kacho. Apre yon bon tan, l'ap pini yo.
They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
23 lalin lan pral vin tou nwa. Solèy la p'ap klere ankò, paske Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral sèl wa. Li pral gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Tout chèf fanmi pèp li a pral wè gwo pouvwa li.
The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
