Ezayi 37
1 Lè wa Ezekyas tande pawòl sa yo, li chire rad sou li sitèlman sa te fè l' lapenn, li mete yon rad sak sou li, epi li al nan tanp Seyè a.
And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
2 Li voye Elyakim, chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, ak Chebna, sekretè a, ansanm ak chèf prèt yo bò kote pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Yo tout te gen rad sak sou yo.
and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and [the] elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
3 Men mesaj Ezekyas te ba yo pou Ezayi: -Jòdi a se yon jou malè pou nou! Bondye ap pini nou. Se yon wont pou nou. Nou tankou yon fanm ansent ki deja kase lezo men ki pa gen fòs pou li pouse pitit la soti.
and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bear.
4 Wa peyi Lasiri a te voye chèf gad palè li a manke Bondye vivan an dega. Se pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, tande tout jouman sa yo. Se pou l' pini moun ki di pawòl sa yo. Ou menm, se pou ou lapriyè pou rès moun pèp nou an ki vivan toujou.
It may be your God YHWH hears the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
5 Moun wa Ezekyas yo al jwenn Ezayi.
And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
6 Men repons Ezayi ba yo pou wa Ezekyas: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou pa bezwen pè tout pawòl ou tande yo, tout jouman moun wa Lasiri yo di sou mwen.
and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
7 Mwen pral fè wa Lasiri a tande yon sèl nouvèl, li pral kouri tounen nan peyi l'. Rive li rive, m'ap fè touye l'.
Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
8 Chèf gad palè a te vin konnen wa Lasiri a te pati kite Lakis pou l' te al atake lavil Libna. Se la li al jwenn wa a.
And Rabshakeh turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
9 Paske wa a te pran nouvèl Tiraka, wa peyi Letiopi a, t'ap moute vin atake l'. Wa a voye lòt mesaje ankò bò kote Ezekyas.
And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to fight with you”; and he hears, and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Li di yo: -Men mesaj n'a bay Ezekyas, wa Jida a, pou mwen. Ou mèt tande Bondye ou la, Bondye ou fè konfyans lan, di ou Jerizalèm p'ap tonbe nan men wa Lasiri a, pa kite l' twonpe ou.
“Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Ou te pran nouvèl sa wa Lasiri yo te fè tout lòt peyi yo. Yo te soti pou detwi yo nèt. Atò, se ou menm ki pou ta chape anba men m'!
Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them—and you are delivered!
12 Lè zansèt mwen yo te touye dènye moun nan lavil Gozan, lavil Aran, lavil Rezèf ak moun Betedenn yo ki rete lavil Tèlasa, èske bondye nasyon sa yo te delivre yo?
Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Telassar?
13 Kote wa lavil Amat la, wa lavil Apad la, wa lavil Sefarayim lan, wa lavil Ena ak wa lavil Iva?
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
14 Ezekyas pran lèt la nan men mesaje yo, li li l'. Apre sa, li pati al nan tanp lan, li mete lèt la devan lotèl Seyè a.
And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and reads them, and Hezekiah goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
15 Epi li vire bò Seyè a, li lapriyè, li di l':
And Hezekiah prays to YHWH, saying,
16 -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm ki chita sou fotèy zanj cheriben yo ap pote sou zepòl yo a, se ou menm sèl Bondye k'ap gouvènen tout peyi sou latè. Se ou menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
“YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all kingdoms of the earth, You have made the heavens and the earth.
17 Panche zòrèy ou, Seyè, pou ou tande. Louvri je ou pou ou wè. Koute tou sa Senakerib voye di pou manke Bondye vivan an dega.
Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to reproach the living God.
18 Nou konnen, Seyè, wa peyi Lasiri yo te fini ak anpil nasyon, yo te detwi peyi yo.
Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
19 Yo te boule tout bondye yo paske se pa t' bondye yo te ye. Se estati fèt an bwa ak wòch moun te fè ak men yo. Se poutèt sa yo te rive detwi yo.
so as to put their gods into fire—for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone—and they destroy them.
20 Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, tanpri, delivre nou anba men Senakerib, pou tout nasyon ki sou latè ka konnen se ou menm sèl, Seyè, ki Bondye.
And now, our God YHWH, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH, You alone.”
21 Lè sa a, Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, voye mesaj sa a bay Ezekyas. -Ou te lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a. Men repons li voye ba ou.
And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur—
22 Men pawòl Seyè a di sou li: Senakerib, lavil Jerizalèm ki sou mòn Siyon an ap ri ou, l'ap pase ou nan rizib. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ap rele chalbari dèyè ou.
this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you, laughed at you, Has the virgin daughter of Zion, The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken the head behind you.
23 Ki moun ou konprann ou derespekte, ou joure konsa? Sou ki moun ou pale fò konsa? Se sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom—lifted up the voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Ou voye moun ou yo vin manke Bondye dega. Ou deklare: O wi, avèk tout kantite cha lagè m' yo, mwen moute sou tèt tout mòn ata sou mòn Liban an. Mwen koupe pi gwo pye sèd li yo, pi bèl pye sikren li yo, mwen rive jouk anwo nèt sou tèt li, nan mitan rakbwa li yo ki tankou bèl jaden.
By the hand of your servants You have reviled the Lord, and say: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
25 Mwen fouye pi nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen bwè dlo. Mwen cheche dlo nan tout larivyè Lejip yo pou sòlda mwen yo pase san pye yo pa mouye.
I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
26 Ou pa t' konnen gen lontan depi mwen te fè lide pou tou sa te rive? Gen lontan depi sa te nan tèt mwen? Koulye a, mwen kite sa rive, pou ou te ka kraze tout lavil ak ranpa yo pou fè yo tounen yon pil demoli.
Have you not heard from afar [that] I did it, From days of old—that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps—fortified cities,
27 Moun ki te rete la yo te san fòs. Yo te pè, yo pa t' konn sa pou yo fè. Yo te tankou raje nan jaden, tankou zèb gazon, tankou raje k'ap pouse sou do kay, tankou pye mayi ki cheche anvan li mete zepi.
And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain, before it has risen up.
28 Mwen konnen lè ou leve, mwen konnen lè ou chita. Mwen konnen lè ou soti, mwen konnen lè ou antre. Mwen konnen lè ou fin anraje sou mwen.
And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me.
29 Koulye a, mwen vin konnen jan ou move sou mwen, jan ou vin awogan. Se poutèt sa, mwen mete yon fè won nan bwa nen ou, ak yon mò nan bouch ou. Mwen pral fè ou pran menm chemen ou te pran pou vini an pou ou tounen.
Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And I have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
30 Apre sa, Ezayi di wa Ezekyas konsa: -Men sa ki pral sèvi yon siy pou ou. Lanne sa a, n'a manje rès grenn ki te tonbe atè. Lanne k'ap vini apre sa a, n'a manje grenn nou pa t' plante. Men, apre sa ankò, n'a ka plante, n'a ka fè rekòt. N'a plante pye rezen, n'a manje rezen.
And this [is] the sign to you, Self-sown grain [is] food of the year, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Rès moun peyi Jida ki va chape yo va pran pye ankò. Y'a kanpe ankò.
And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah that has been left—To take root beneath, And it has made fruit upward.
32 Va gen yon ti rès moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak sou mòn Siyon an ki va chape. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè sa, paske li renmen ou anpil.
For a remnant goes forth from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
33 Men sa Seyè a di sou wa peyi Lasiri a: Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Li p'ap gen tan voye yon sèl grenn flèch sou li. P'ap gen yon sèl sòlda ak plak pwotèj k'ap pwoche bò kote l'. Ni yo p'ap fouye twou pou sènen l'.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it [with] shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
34 Chemen li te pran pou l' vini an, se li menm l'ap pran pou l' tounen. Li p'ap mete pye l' nan lavil sa a. Se mwen menm, Seyè a menm, ki di sa.
In the way that he came, in it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH,
35 M'ap pwoteje lavil sa a, m'ap delivre l' pou m' fè respè tèt mwen, pou m' kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, sèvitè m' lan.
And I have covered over this city, To save it, for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
36 Zanj Seyè a al nan kan moun Lasiri yo, li touye sankatrevensenk mil sòlda. Nan maten, lè moun leve, se kadav yo ase yo jwenn. Yo tout te mouri.
And a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes in the camp of Asshur one hundred and eighty-five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
37 Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, leve, li pati. Li tounen lavil Niniv.
And he journeys, and goes, and Sennacherib king of Asshur turns back, and dwells in Nineveh.
38 Yon jou, antan wa a t'ap fè sèvis nan tanp Niswòk, bondye li a, de nan pitit gason l' yo touye l' ak nepe yo, epi yo kouri al kache nan peyi Arara. Yo te rele Adramelèk ak Sarezè. Se yon lòt nan pitit gason l' yo ki te rele Asaradon, ki te vin moute wa nan plas li.
And it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
