Ezayi 34
1 Nou menm moun tout nasyon yo, pwoche pou n' koute! Tout pèp sou latè, louvri zòrèy nou! Se pou tout moun ansanm ak tout bagay ki sou latè yo koute!
Come near, you nations, to hear, And you peoples, give attention, The earth and its fullness hear, The world, and all its productions.
2 Seyè a fache sou tout nasyon yo nèt, ansanm ak lame sòlda yo. Li kondannen yo tout pou yo mouri, pou yo touye yo tankou bèt y'ap ofri pou touye pou li.
For to YHWH [is] wrath against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He has devoted them to destruction, He has given them to slaughter.
3 Yo p'ap antere kadav moun mouri yo. Y'ap kite yo pouri santi. Tout mòn yo pral wouj ak san.
And their wounded are cast out, And their carcasses cause their stench to ascend, And mountains have been melted from their blood.
4 Tou sa ki nan syèl la, solèy, lalin ak zetwal yo, pral disparèt. Yo pral woule syèl la tankou yon woulo papye pote ale. Tou sa ki nan syèl la pral tonbe tankou fèy pye rezen ak fèy pye fig frans lè y'ap jete fèy.
And all the host of the heavens have been consumed, And the heavens have been rolled together as a scroll, And all their hosts fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig tree.
5 Nan syèl la, nepe Seyè a mande san. Men l'ap desann sou peyi Edon an pou l' pini moun mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te kondannen pou mouri.
For My sword was soaked in the heavens, Behold, it comes down on Edom, On the people of My curse for judgment.
6 Nepe Seyè a pral benyen ak san yo tankou san mouton ak san bouk yo touye pou li. Li pral kouvri ak grès tankou grès wonyon belye yo touye pou li. Yo pral fè yon ofrann bèt pou Seyè a lavil Bozra. Yo pral fè yon gwo masak nan peyi Edon.
A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, It has been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Moun pral mouri tankou gwo towo bèf mawon ak jenn ti towo. Tè a pral plen san, li pral kouvri ak grès.
And reems have come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, And their land has been soaked from blood, And their dust is made fat from fatness.
8 Paske, se jou Seyè a pral pran revanj li sou lènmi peyi Siyon yo. Se jou li pral fè yo peye sa yo te fè a, pou l' ka delivre moun Siyon yo.
(For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife),
9 Tout dlo larivyè nan peyi Edon pral tounen goudwon. Pousyè tè a ap tounen souf. Tout peyi a pral boule tankou goudwon.
And her streams have been turned to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land has become burning pitch.
10 L'ap boule lajounen kou lannwit. Lafimen pral soti ladan l' tout tan san rete. Tè a ap tounen savann pou tout tan tout tan. Moun p'ap janm pase la ankò.
She is not quenched by night and by day, Her smoke goes up for all time, She is desolate from generation to generation, Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
11 Se la koukou ak frize pral fè nich yo. Se la kaou ak malfini pral rete. Seyè a pral fè l' tounen yon dezè san anyen ladan li.
And pelican and hedgehog possess her, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He has stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
12 P'ap gen grannèg pou chwazi wa ankò pou gouvènen peyi a, tout chèf yo ap disparèt.
They call her nobles [to] the kingdom, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
13 Pikan pral pouse nan tout palè l' yo, kwòkachen ak chadwon pral pouse nan tout fò yo. Se la chen mawon pral rete. Se la otrich pral fè nich yo.
And thorns have gone up her palaces, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it has been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
14 Bèt k'ap viv nan dezè yo pral kontre ak chen mawon. Mal yo, yonn pral rele lòt. Se la lagrandyab la pral rete. Se la l'a jwenn yon kote pou l' poze kò l'.
And desert-dwellers have met with howlers, And the goat calls for its companion, Surely the night-owl has rested there, And has found a place of rest for herself.
15 Se la koulèv pral fè nich yo, se la y'ap ponn. Se la y'ap kouve ze yo, se la y'ap okipe pitit yo. Se la malfini karanklou yo pral sanble.
The owl has made her nest there, Indeed, she lays, and has hatched, And has gathered under her shadow, Surely vultures have been gathered there, Each with its companion.
16 Ale gade nan liv Bondye a. Li sa ki ladan l'. Pa manke yon sèl nan tout bèt li kreye yo. Yo yonn pa pèdi parèy yo. Se Seyè a menm ki bay lòd sa a. Se lespri li k'ap mete yo ansanm yonn ak lòt.
Seek out of the scroll of YHWH, and read, One of these has not been lacking, None has missed its companion, For My mouth—it has commanded, And His Spirit—He has gathered them.
17 Se li menm menm ki pral separe tè a ba yo chak pòsyon pa yo. Y'ap rete nan peyi a pou tout tan. Peyi a va rele yo pa yo jouk sa kaba.
And He has cast a lot for them, And His hand has apportioned [it] to them by line, They possess it for all time, They dwell in it from generation to generation!
