Ezayi 29
1 Mwen wè malè pou lotèl Bondye a, lavil Jerizalèm! Mwen wè malè pou lavil kote David te moute kan li an. Kite ennan, dezan konsa pase, kite tout fèt yo fin pase,
Ah altar, altar of the citie that Dauid dwelt in: adde yere vnto yere: let them kill lambs.
2 Seyè a pral voye yon sèl lafliksyon sou lotèl Bondye a. Moun pral rele, yo pral plenn. Lavil la pral tounen yon lotèl Bondye tout bon kote y'ap ofri bèt yo touye pou li.
But I wil bring the altar into distresse, and there shalbe heauines and sorowe, and it shall be vnto me like an altar.
3 Bondye pral atake lavil la tankou David te fè l' la. Li pral sènen l' ak sòlda. L'ap fèmen l' toupatou.
And I wil besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast vp ramparts against thee.
4 Lavil Jerizalèm pral tankou yon moun anba tè k'ap pale. Pousyè tè ap toufe pawòl nan bouch li. Antan li anba tè a, l'ap pale tankou yon zonbi ak yon vwa nan nen tou fèb!
So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Men, tout lènmi ou yo pral gaye tankou pousyè nan van. Tout kantite moun ki t'ap fè ou pase tray yo pral disparèt tankou pay van ap bwote. W'ap rete konsa,
Moreouer, the multitude of thy strangers shalbe like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shalbe as chaffe that passeth away, and it shall be in a moment, euen suddenly.
6 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap parèt sou ou, avèk gwo van loraj, tranblemanntè, ak yon pakèt gwo bri, avèk siklòn, van tanpèt ak gwo flanm dife k'ap boule.
Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hostes with thunder, and shaking, and a great noyse, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of a deuouring fire.
7 Lè sa a, tout bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki t'ap fè lagè avèk lotèl Bondye a, tout gwo lame ki te anvayi peyi a, ki te sènen lavil la, ki t'ap toufounen l' kote l' te ye a, yo tout yo pral disparèt tankou yon move rèv ou t'ap fè, tankou yon vizyon w'ap fè nan mitan lannwit.
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against the altar, shalbe as a dreame or vision by night: euen all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes against it, and lay siege vnto it.
8 Wi, tout bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki t'ap fè lagè ak lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Siyon an, y'ap tankou yon moun k'ap mouri grangou epi ki reve l'ap manje. Men, lè li leve, li grangou pi rèd. Osinon, tankou yon moun k'ap mouri swaf dlo, li reve l'ap bwè dlo. Men, lè li leve, li tou fèb, li swaf dlo pi rèd.
And it shalbe like as an hungry man dreameth, and beholde, he eateth: and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie: or like as a thirsty man dreameth, and loe, he is drinking, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is faint, and his soule longeth: so shall the multitude of all nations be that fight against mount Zion.
9 Nou pral sezi, nou pral rete bèbè! Fèmen je nou pou nou pa wè! Nou pral sou, san nou pa menm bwè. N'ap titibe san nou pa pran yon gout gwòg!
Stay your selues, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken but not with wine: they stagger, but not by strong drinke.
10 Paske Seyè a fè nou anvi dòmi. Li fè je nou vin lou. Pwofèt yo, se je pèp la yo ye! Li kouvri tèt nou. Divinò yo, se tèt pèp la yo ye.
For the Lord hath couered you with a spirite of slumber, and hath shut vp your eyes: the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath he couered.
11 Nou pa ka konprann tou sa Bondye fè nou konnen la a. Y'ap tankou yon liv yo sele. Si nou pote l' bay yon moun ki konn li pou nou mande l' li l' pou nou, l'ap reponn nou li pa kapab, paske liv la sele.
And the vision of them all is become vnto you, as the wordes of a booke that is sealed vp, which they deliuer to one that can reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall he say, I can not: for it is sealed.
12 Lè ou pote l' bay yon moun ki pa konn li pou ou mande l' li l' pou ou, l'ap reponn ou li pa konn li.
And the booke is giuen vnto him that can not reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I can not reade.
13 Seyè a di: -Lè moun sa yo ap fè sèvis pou mwen, se pawòl nan bouch! Y'ap louvri bouch yo pou fè lwanj mwen, men lespri yo byen lwen. Si y'ap mache di yo gen krentif pou mwen, se pawòl granmoun lontan moutre yo y'ap repete lè konsa.
Therefore the Lord sayd, Because this people come neere vnto me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but haue remooued their heart farre from me, and their feare toward me was taught by the precept of men,
14 Se poutèt sa, mwen pral fè yon lòt seri mèvèy ak mirak devan je yo. Mwen pral detounen bon konprann moun save yo. Moun lespri yo ak tout konesans yo p'ap konprann anyen.
Therefore behold, I wil againe doe a marueilous worke in this people, euen a marueilous worke, and a wonder: for the wisdome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shalbe hid.
15 Madichon pou moun k'ap kache Seyè a sa yo gen lide fè! Y'ap fè plan yo an kachèt. Y'ap di pa gen moun ki wè yo. Pa gen moun k'ap konnen sa y'ap fè.
Wo vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from the Lord: for their workes are in darkenes, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
16 Nou vire tout bagay lanvè! Kilès ki pi konsekan, moun k'ap fè krich yo osinon tè wouj la? Eske bagay yon nonm fè ka di moun ki fè l' la se pa ou ki fè m'? Eske yon krich ka di moun ki fè l' la se moun sòt ou ye?
Your turning of deuises shall it not be esteemed as the potters clay? for shall the worke say of him that made it, Hee made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that facioned it, He had none vnderstanding?
17 Anvan nou bat je nou, rakbwa peyi Liban tounen jaden, jaden tounen rakbwa.
Is it not yet but a litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted as a forest?
18 Jou sa a, moun soudè yo va tande pawòl y'ap li nan liv. Avèg yo ki t'ap viv nan fènwa va louvri je yo, y'a wè.
And in that day shall the deafe heare the wordes of the booke, and the eyes of the blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
19 Seyè a va fè tipitit yo gen kè kontan ankò. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki yon Bondye apa, va fè malere yo danse tèlman y'a kontan.
The meeke in the Lord shall receiue ioye againe, and the poore men shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.
20 Paske lwijanboje a pral jwenn ak bout li. Moun ki t'ap pase Bondye nan betiz la pral disparèt. Yo pral fini ak tout moun ki t'ap chache okazyon pou fè sa ki mal,
For the cruel man shall cease, and the scornefull shalbe consumed: and all that hasted to iniquitie, shalbe cut off:
21 moun k'ap fè inonsan peye pou koupab, moun k'ap antrave travay jij yo nan tribinal, moun k'ap bay manti pou moun serye pa jwenn jistis.
Which made a man to sinne in ye worde, and tooke him in a snare: which reproued them in the gate, and made the iust to fall without cause.
22 Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki te delivre Abraram lan, di: Moun Jakòb yo p'ap janm wont ankò. Figi yo p'ap dekonpoze ankò.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord vnto the house of Iaakob, euen hee that redeemed Abraham, Iaakob shall not now be confounded, neither now shall his face be pale.
23 Lè y'a wè pitit mwen menm m'ap ba yo nan kò kay yo, y'a rekonèt se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Y'a rekonèt Bondye fanmi Jakòb la se yon Bondye apa. Y'a respekte m', y'a genyen m' krentif.
But when he seeth his children, the worke of mine hands, in the mids of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the holy one of Iaakob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
24 Moun ki te pèdi tèt yo va rive gen bon konprann. Moun ki te toujou ap bougonnen yo va kontan aprann nan men mwen.
Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
