Ezayi 30
1 Men sa Seyè a di: -Madichon pou pitit mwen yo k'ap fè tèt di ak mwen! Nan tou sa y'ap fè, se pwòp lide yo y'ap swiv, se pa lide pa m'. Y'ap siyen lòt kontra, atout mwen di yo non. Y'ap fè peche sou peche.
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to sin:
2 Yo desann al nan peyi Lejip san yo pa mande m' konsèy. Y' al mande farawon an pou l' pwoteje yo, y' al mete kò yo anba zèl peyi Lejip.
That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Men, farawon an p'ap ka fè anyen pou nou. Pwoteksyon peyi Lejip la ap tounen yon wont pou nou.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
4 Malgre delege yo gen tan rive lavil Zoan ak lavil Anès,
For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
5 pèp Jida a pral règrèt yo te janm mete konfyans yo nan yon pèp ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo, yon nasyon ki pa ka ni ede yo ni pote yo sekou, yon nasyon k'ap fè yo wont, yon nasyon k'ap ba yo desepsyon.
They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a reproach.
6 Men yon mesaj Bondye bay sou bèt nan dezè Negèv yo: -Delege yo ap vwayaje nan yon peyi ki gen anpil danje, kote lyon ak manman lyon rete, kote gen move sèpan ak dragon azèl. Yo chaje bourik yo ak chamo yo avèk kado pou yon nasyon ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo.
The doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
7 Paske konkou Lejip ap ba yo a p'ap sèvi yo anyen, paske li pa vo anyen, se poutèt sa mwen bay peyi a yon ti non. Mwen rele l': Dragon dan kase a.
And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting still.
8 Seyè a di m': -Koulye a al ekri sa moun sa yo ye a sou yon adwaz. Ekri l' nan yon woulo liv, pou sa ka toujou sèvi m' temwen kont yo pou tout tan tout tan.
Now go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
9 Yo toujou ap fè tèt di ak Bondye. Se yon bann pitit ki toujou ap bay manti, ki pa vle koute lòd Bondye, Seyè a.
For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Y'ap di divinò yo: Pa di nou vizyon nou fè yo. Y'ap di pwofèt yo: Pa fè nou konnen sa nou dwe fè. Di nou bèl pawòl dous k'ap fè nou plezi. Kite nou ak sa nou kwè a.
Who have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
11 Wete kò nou sou bon wout la! Fè sou kote! Pa vin pale nou sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One of Israel.
12 Se poutèt sa, men sa Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye apa a, ap di: Nou pa vle koute avètisman m'ap ban nou an. Nou pito met konfyans nou nan moun k'ap fè mechanste, nan moun k'ap fè bagay sou kote. Se sou yo nou apiye.
Therefore thus hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
13 Enben, se nou ki va pote chay la. Nou tankou yon miray ki make fann, tankou yon gwo miray byen wo ki gen yon pati ladan l' k'ap souke, ki gonfle prèt pou tonbe. N'ap rete konsa, n'ap tonbe anvan nou bat je nou.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
14 N'ap tonbe an miyèt moso tankou kannari kraze. P'ap menm gen yon moso ki ka sèvi pou ranmase chabon dife osinon pou al chache dlo nan sous.
And he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.
15 Men, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki yon Bondye apa, te di pèp la: Tounen vin jwenn mwen, lèfini ret trankil, n'a delivre. Ret dousman, met konfyans nou nan mwen. Se sa ki tout fòs nou. Men, nou pa t' vle.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
16 Men nou te pito di: Ann moute chwal nou kouri ale. Enben, ale! Ale non! Sove kò nou! Nou te pito di: n'a moute sou chwal ki konn kouri. Men tou, sa k'ap kouri dèyè nou yo pral kouri pi vit pase nou!
And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers be swift.
17 Lè n'a wè yon sèl moun nan lènmi yo, mil nan nou pral kraze rak. Lè n'a wè senk menm, se nou tout k'ap kouri met deyò. Sèl bagay k'ap rete nan lame nou an, se va drapo n'a kite kanpe sou tèt ti mòn lan.
One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign on a hill.
18 Men, Seyè a ap tann lè pou l' fè nou gras. Li tou pare pou l' gen pitye pou nou, paske Seyè a, se yon Bondye k'ap toujou fè sa ki byen! benediksyon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li.
And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that wait for him.
19 Nou menm ki rete lavil Jerizalèm sou mòn Siyon an, nou p'ap kriye ankò. Rele n'a rele l', l'a fè nou gras. Tande l'a tande nou, l'ap reponn nou.
For O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth thee.
20 Bondye va fè nou manje kont mizè nou, l'a fè nou pase kont tray nou, men l'ap la pou l' moutre nou sa pou l' moutre nou an. N'ap wè l' ak de grenn je nou, nou p'ap bezwen al chache l' ankò.
And the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 Si nou chankre sou bò dwat osinon sou bò gòch, n'a tande yon vwa nan do nou k'ap di nou: Men bon chemen an bò isit. Se la a pou ou pase!
And thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 N'a pran estati zidòl nou yo ki kouvri ak ajan ansanm ak lò sou tout kò yo pou bagay k'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou pa ka sèvi Bondye, n'ap voye yo jete tankou vye bagay sal, n'a di yo: Soti devan je nou!
And ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
23 Lè n'a plante grenn nan jaden nou, Bondye va voye lapli pou l' fè yo pouse. L'a fè tè a bay manje k'ap bon nan bouch nou, manje k'ap ban nou fòs. N'a gen kont kote pou nou mennen bèt nou yo al manje.
Then will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
24 Towo bèf ak bourik k'ap sèvi pou travay tè nou va jwenn bon manje pou yo manje, bon zèb sale y'a vannen epi y'a ranmase ak fouch mete nan depo.
The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 Jou y'a kraze fò lènmi nou yo, jou y'a masakre tout lènmi nou yo, sous dlo pral pete nan tout gwo mòn, nan tout ti mòn koule desann.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers fall.
26 Jou Seyè a pral mete renmèd sou kote ki te blese nan pèp la, jou l'ap geri tout kote pèp la te blese a, lalin pral klere tankou solèy, limyè solèy la menm pral sèt fwa pi klere, ou ta di limyè sèt jou mete ansanm. Wi, tou sa pral rive jou Seyè a.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise of their wound.
27 Pouvwa Bondye a pral vin soti byen lwen. Dife ak lafimen ap fè wè jan li move. L'ap fè kòlè, pawòl li yo tankou boukan dife nan raje.
Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
28 Li fè van soufle, ou ta di yon ravin k'ap desann, dlo li rive rabo. L'ap boulvèse nasyon yo jouk li detwi yo, l'ap detounen tout move lide yo te gen nan tèt yo.
And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.
29 Men, nou menm pèp Bondye a, nou pral chante, nou pral fè fèt tankou nou fè l' lavèy jou fèt nou. Nou pral kontan tankou moun k'ap jwe fif lè yo sou wout pou ale sou mòn Seyè a, Bondye k'ap defann pèp Izrayèl la.
[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Seyè a pral fè tout moun tande fòs vwa li, li pral fè yo santi fòs ponyèt li lè li move. Lè sa a, va gen flanm dife, van siklòn, gwo tanpèt, lapli ak tanpèt lagrèl.
And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.
31 Moun peyi Lasiri yo pral tranble lè y'a tande vwa Seyè a k'ap ba yo baton.
For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.
32 Chak fwa Seyè a va ba yo yon kout baton pou l' pini yo, y'a tande son tanbou ak son gita k'ap jwe nan peyi Izrayèl. Se Seyè a menm ki pral goumen ak moun Lasiri yo.
And at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.
33 Depi lontan yo te pare yon gwo twou pou dife boukan an. Se ladan l' yo pral boule wa a. Yo fè twou a byen fon, byen laj. Yo plen l' bwa. Seyè a pral soufle yon flanm dife melanje ak souf sou li pou boule l'.
For already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
