Ezayi 31
1 Madichon pou moun k'ap desann peyi Lejip al chache sekou! Yo mete konfyans yo nan chwal, nan kantite cha lagè, nan fòs sòlda kavalye. Yo pa dòmi reve Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa. Yo pa chache pwoteksyon bò Seyè a.
Woe to! those [who] go down Egypt for help on horses they depend and they have relied on chariotry for [it is] many and on horsemen for they are numerous exceedingly and not they look on [the] holy [one] of Israel and Yahweh not they seek.
2 Men tou, Seyè a konn sa l'ap fè. L'ap voye malè sou mechan yo, li p'ap chanje pawòl. L'ap pini mechan yo ansanm ak moun k'ap pwoteje mechan yo.
And also he [is] wise and he has brought calamity and words his not he has turned aside and he will rise up on [the] house of evil-doers and on [the] help of [those who] do wickedness.
3 Moun Lejip yo, se moun yo ye, yo pa bondye. Chwal yo tankou tout chwal. Se pa chwal Bondye voye! Seyè a pral lonje men l', moun k'ap bay pwoteksyon an ap bite, moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon an ap tonbe. Y'ap mouri ansanm!
And Egypt [is] humankind and not God and horses their [are] flesh and not spirit and Yahweh he will stretch out hand his and he will stumble [one who] helps and he will fall [one who] is helped and together all of them they will come to an end!
4 Men sa Seyè a di m' ankò: -Menm jan yon gwo lyon osinon yon ti lyon ap gwonde lè li fin pran yon bèt, tout gadò yo te mèt mete ansanm pou goumen ak li, yo te mèt rele, sa p'ap fè l' pè, yo te mèt anpil, sa p'ap kraponnen l', konsa tou, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral desann pou l' pran defans mòn Siyon an ak ti mòn ki pou li a.
For thus he has said Yahweh - to me just as it growls the lion and the young lion over prey its that it is summoned on it a multitude of shepherds from voice their not it is dismayed and from tumult their not it cringes so he will come down Yahweh of hosts to wage war on [the] mountain of Zion and on hill its.
5 Menm jan zwezo louvri zèl li anwo nich li pou pwoteje pitit li, konsa tou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral louvri zèl li pwoteje lavil Jerizalèm. L'ap pwoteje l', l'ap delivre l', l'ap pran defans li, l'ap sove l'.
Like birds flying so he will defend Yahweh of hosts Jerusalem he will defend [it] and he will rescue [it] he will pass over [it] and he will deliver [it].
6 Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, nou te vire do ban mwen, nou te kenbe tèt ak mwen anpil. Koulye a, tounen vin jwenn mwen!
Return to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.
7 Jou sa a, n'a voye jete tout bann vye zidòl nou te fè an ajan ak an lò ak men plen san nou yo.
For in the day that they will reject! everyone [the] idols of silver his and [the] idols of gold his which they have made for you hands your sin.
8 Lagè pral fini ak peyi Lasiri, men se pa moun ki pral fè lagè avè l'. Lè batay la, li pral kouri met deyò, men y'ap pran tout jenn gason l' yo fè yo tounen esklav.
And it will fall Assyria by a sword not a human and a sword not a human it will consume it and it will flee itself from before a sword and young men its forced labor they will become.
9 Wa a menm pral kouri met deyò sitèlman l'ap pè. Yon sèl latranblad pral pran chèf lagè li yo, y'ap lage drapo yo atè kouri ale. Seyè a pale, se pou li dife k'ap boule sou mòn Siyon an, se pou li gwo boukan ki nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
And rock its from terror it will pass away and they will be dismayed from a standard commanders its [the] utterance of Yahweh who fire [belongs] to him in Zion and an oven [belongs] to him in Jerusalem.
