Ezayi 33
1 Madichon pou lènmi nou yo! Y'ap devalize nou, pesonn pa devalize yo. Y'ap trayi nou, pesonn pa trayi yo. Men tou, lè y'a fin devalize nou, moun va devalize yo tou! Lè y'a fin trayi nou, moun va trayi yo tou!
Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
2 Seyè, pitye pou nou! Se nan ou nou mete tout espwa nou! Pwoteje nou jou apre jou! Delivre nou lè nou anba tray!
Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in you: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
3 Lè w'ap goumen pou nou, tande lòt nasyon yo tande bri lagè a, yo kouri met deyò, yo gaye.
By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of you, and the heathen were scattered.
4 Tankou krikèt nan jaden, nou kouri lage kò nou sou tou sa yo genyen, nou ranmase tout bagay pote ale.
And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
5 Ala pouvwa Seyè a genyen! Li donminen sou tout bagay! L'ap fè tout moun mache dwat nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pesonn p'ap fè lenjistis sou mòn Siyon an.
The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgement and righteousness.
6 Li p'ap kite anyen rive pèp la ankò. Sa k'ap toujou sove yo, se va bon konprann ak konesans Bondye ap ba yo a. Pi gwo richès yo, se krentif y'a gen pou Seyè a.
They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety towards the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
7 Vanyan gason ap rele anmwe. Moun yo te voye pou siyen lapè yo ap kriye ak gwo lapenn nan kè yo.
Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom you feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
8 Nanpwen pesonn sou granchemen yo. Moun pa vwayaje ankò. Lènmi yo pa respekte kontra yo te siyen an, yo pa kenbe dizon yo. Y'a manke tout moun dega.
For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.
9 Peyi a nan lapenn, l'ap deperi. Nan peyi Liban, moun pa konn sa pou yo fè. Gwo rakbwa yo ap cheche. Bèl plenn peyi Sawon an tounen savann. Nan tout peyi Bazan ak peyi Kamèl, tout pyebwa ap pèdi fèy.
The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
10 Seyè a pale ak lòt nasyon yo, li di yo: -Koulye a, m'ap leve kanpe, m'ap fè nou wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' gen fòs kouraj.
Now will I arise, says the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
11 N'ap fè yon bann lide nan tèt nou ki pa vo anyen. Se nou menm ankò k'ap touye tèt nou.
Now shall you see, now shall you perceive; the strength of your breath, shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
12 M'ap boule nou tankou yo boule wòch pou fè lacho, tankou pikan chèch yo jete nan dife.
And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
13 Se pou tout moun, ni sa ki pre ni sa ki lwen, tande sa mwen te fè. Se pou tout moun konnen jan m' gen pouvwa.
They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall know my strength.
14 Nan lavil Siyon, moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo pral gen kè sere. Moun ki refize fè sa Bondye mande a pral tranble. Y'ap di: Jijman Bondye se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule san rete. Kilès nan nou ki ka chape anba yon dife konsa?
The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
15 Moun k'ap chape, se moun k'ap mache dwat yo, moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa sèvi ak pouvwa yo pou pwofite sou lòt moun, moun ki pa asepte lajan sou kote, moun ki pa dakò ak moun k'ap fè plan pou fè mechanste, moun ki pa mele ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.
He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgement of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.
16 Se moun konsa ki pral rive nan lavi. Tankou yon moun ki nan yon gwo fò byen wo, anyen p'ap rive l': l'ap toujou jwenn manje pou l' manje ak dlo pou l' bwè.
he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
17 Yon jou, n'a wè yon wa k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay, nan yon gwo gwo peyi.
You shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
18 Lè sa a, n'a chonje sa ki te konn fè nou pè a. Nan kè nou, n'a mande: Kote prepoze kontribisyon yo? Kote kontwòlè mache yo? Kote moun ki t'ap mache enspekte fò yo?
Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counsellors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
19 Nou p'ap wè bann moun awogan sa yo ankò, bann moun ki soti lòt peyi, ki pale lòt lang ou pa ka menm konprann, yon lang k'ap kòche zòrèy ou.
[even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
20 Voye je ou gade lavil Siyon, kote nou fè gwo fèt nou yo! Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Yon bon kote pou moun rete san kè sote. L'ap tankou yon tant yo p'ap janm demoute, pikèt li yo p'ap janm rache, kòd li yo p'ap janm kase.
Behold the city of Sion, our refuge: your eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
21 Se la Seyè a pral fè nou wè pouvwa li. M'ap rete bò gwo larivyè a ak gwo kannal dlo yo, men ankenn kannòt, ankenn batiman lènmi p'ap ka pase ladan yo.
for the name of the Lord is great to you: you shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: you shall not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
22 Paske, se Seyè a menm k'ap chèf nou, se li menm k'ap gouvènen nou, se li ki wa nou, se li k'ap delivre nou.
For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
23 Tout kòd batiman yo p'ap sèvi yo anyen. Ma yo pèdi fòs, vwal yo pa ka louvri. Y'ap piye tou sa lènmi yo te pote sou batiman yo. Ata moun enfenm pral nan piyay la tou.
Your cords are broken, for they had no strength: your meat has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
24 Pesonn nan peyi a p'ap plenyen di li malad ankò. Bondye pral padonnen peche tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.
And the people dwelling amongst them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
