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.
Here! Yahweh [is] about to lay waste the earth and [is] about to devastate it and he will twist surface its and he will scatter inhabitants its.
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.
And it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.
3 Yo pral ravaje tout tè a, yo pral piye tout bagay. Seyè a fin pale, se sa ki pou rive.
Certainly - it will be laid waste the earth and certainly - it will be plundered for Yahweh he has spoken the word this.
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.
It has dried up it has withered the earth it has languished it has withered [the] world they have languished [the] noble[s] of [the] people of the earth.
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.
And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.
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.
There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.
7 Pye rezen yo ap fennen. Ou pa ka jwenn diven. Tout moun ki te konn fè fèt yo ap plenn.
It has dried up new wine it has languished [the] vine they have groaned all [the people] joyful of heart.
8 Yo pa bat tanbou ankò. Pa gen gwo fèt ankò. Yo pa jwe gita ankò.
It has ceased [the] gaiety of tambourines it has stopped [the] uproar of jubilant [people] it has ceased [the] gaiety of [the] harp.
9 Nanpwen chante ankò lè y'ap bwè diven. Gwòg vin anmè nan bouch gwògmann yo.
With song not people will drink wine it will be bitter strong drink to [those who] drink it.
10 Pa gen moun nan lavil la. Yo kite kay yo ap tonbe. Tout pòt kay fèmen, moun pa antre la ankò.
It has been broken [the] town of formlessness it has been shut up every house from entering.
11 Nan tout lari moun ap rele paske nanpwen diven ankò. Pa gen fèt rejwisans ankò. Nanpwen kè kontan nan peyi a.
An outcry on wine [will be] in the streets it has become evening all gladness it has departed [the] gaiety of the earth.
12 Lavil la ap fini, ata pòtay yo fin kraze.
It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.
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.
For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] 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 they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.
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.
There-fore in the east glorify Yahweh in [the] islands of the sea [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
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] extremity of the earth songs we have heard splendor [belongs] to the righteous [one] and I said leanness [belongs] to me leanness [belongs] to me woe! to me [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously and treachery [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously.
17 Nou menm ki rete sou latè, se kè sere, se gwo twou, se pèlen ki pare pou nou!
Dread and pit and snare [are] on you O inhabitant 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.
And it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.
19 Latè pral fann, l'ap pete fè miyèt moso. L'ap tranble, l'ap souke tout kò l'.
Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.
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.
Wildly it will stagger [the] earth like drunkard and it will sway like hut and it will be heavy on it transgression its and it will fall and not it will repeat to rise.
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.
And it will be in the day that he will visit [judgment] Yahweh on [the] host of the height in the height[s] and on [the] kings of the earth on the earth.
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.
And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will be visited.
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.
And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
