Ezayi 32
1 Yon jou, va gen yon wa k'ap gouvènen peyi a san patipri. Chèf yo va dirije peyi a jan sa dwe fèt.
Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
2 Yo chak pral tankou kote moun al kache pou move van, tankou kote moun al kache pou van tanpèt. Y'ap tankou yon sous dlo k'ap koule nan dezè, tankou yon kokenn wòch k'ap bay lonbray kote ki pa gen dlo.
And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
3 Je tout moun va louvri pou yo wè sa k'ap pase. Zòrèy tout moun va louvri pou yo konnen sa k'ap fèt nan peyi a.
The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
4 Moun kè cho yo va pran san yo pou yo konprann anvan yo aji. Moun bege yo pral pale byen klè pou tout moun konprann.
And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
5 P'ap gen moun k'ap asepte pran moun sòt pou moun debyen, ni bakoulou pou bon moun.
He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
6 Moun sòt yo ap plede di yon bann vye koze san sans. Y'ap fè move lide nan tèt yo. Konsa, y'ap fè bagay Bondye pa vle moun fè, y'ap bay manti sou Bondye. Yo p'ap janm bay moun ki grangou yon ti manje, yo p'ap janm bay moun ki swaf dlo yon ti gout dlo pou yo bwè.
For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
7 Bakoulou, se koken k'ap fè mechanste. L'ap fè move plan nan tèt li pou l' woule pòv malere yo anba manti, pou l' enpoze endijan yo jwenn jistis.
The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
8 Men, bon moun, se toujou sa ki byen l'ap chache fè, li p'ap janm fè anyen ki pa sa.
Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
9 Nou menm medam k'ap viv alèz yo, leve non. Koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm medam ki san pwoblèm yo, louvri zòrèy nou tande sa m'ap di:
You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
10 Bann paresèz, nan ennan ankò, nou pral nan kont traka nou, paske p'ap gen rezen pou nou keyi, p'ap gen rekòt rezen k'ap fèt.
For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
11 Bann byennerèz, nou pral nan ka! Bann paresèz, nou pral tranble! Wete rad sou nou, rete toutouni, mare ren nou ak ranyon,
Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
12 paske nou pral nan lapenn lè n'a chonje bèl jaden ak bèl grap rezen nou yo, lè n'a wè se pikan ak raje k'ap pouse nan tout jaden pèp mwen an.
Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
13 Nou pral kriye lè n'a chonje tout kay kote moun yo te konn gen kè kontan nan lavil ki te gen anpil aktivite a.
Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
14 Kay wa a ap rete san pesonn ladan l'. Tout moun pral kouri kite kapital la. Bit mòn Ofèl la ak fò ki t'ap pwoteje l' la pral tounen savann pou tout tan. Se la bourik mawon pral pran plezi yo, se la kabrit ak mouton pral chache manje.
For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
15 Men, Bondye gen pou l' voye lespri li desann sou nou ankò. Dezè a va tounen yon bon venn tè. Jaden nou yo va bay bèl rekòt.
until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
16 Toupatou nan peyi a, nan dezè a kou nan jaden yo, p'ap gen lenjistis, ni patipri.
And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
17 Paske tout moun ap fè sa ki dwat, y'a viv ak kè poze, san danje ni malè pou tout tan.
And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
18 Pèp Bondye a va rete lakay yo ak kè poze, san danje. Yo p'ap gen pwoblèm.
And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
19 Men lagrèl pral tonbe sou gwo rakbwa a. Yo pral kraze lavil la.
But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
20 Ala kontan n'a kontan jwenn kont dlo nou pou fè jaden! Lè sa a, nou p'ap bezwen mete bèf ak bourik nou yo nan kòd ankò!
Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
