Ezayi 5
1 Mwen pral chante yon chante pou nou, yon chante sou zanmi m' ak jaden rezen l' lan. Zanmi m' lan te gen yon jaden rezen, sou tèt yon ti mòn ki te gen yon bon venn tè.
Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
2 Li bat tout tè a, li wete tout wòch ladan l'. Li plante pi bon kalite pye rezen ladan l'. Apre sa, li bati yon ti kay tou won nan mitan jaden an pou veye l'. Li fè yon basen pou kraze rezen yo. Li te kwè jaden an tapral ba li bon rezen. Men, se vye rezen si ase li bay.
And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
3 Lè sa a, zanmi mwen an di: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun peyi Jida yo, nou pral di m' kilès nan nou de a, jaden rezen an ak mwen menm, ki antò.
And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 Kisa pou m' te fè pou jaden rezen an mwen pa t' fè? Mwen t'ap tann li ban m' bon jan rezen. Poukisa se bann vye rezen si sa yo li donnen?
What — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
5 Enben! M'ap fè nou konnen sa mapral fè jaden rezen mwen an. Mwen pral kraze tout lantiray li a pou bèt antre vin manje l', pou yo kraze l' anba pye yo.
And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
6 M'ap fè l' tounen yon jaden yo piye. Yo p'ap netwaye branch li yo, yo p'ap sekle l' ankò. Zèb pikan ak raje ap fin anvayi l'. Mwen p'ap kite lapli tonbe sou li.
And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
7 Pèp Izrayèl la, se li ki jaden rezen Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Moun peyi Jida yo, se yo ki bon plan li te plante a. Li t'ap tann yo mache dwat: Yo lage kò yo nan fè lenjistis. Li t'ap tann yo fè sa ki dwat devan je l', men, nan tout peyi a, se rèl malere ase ou tande.
Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
8 Madichon pou moun k'ap bati kay sou kay, pou moun k'ap achte tè pou mete sou sa yo genyen deja! Talè konsa, p'ap gen plas pou lòt moun nan peyi a. Yo vle se yo menm ase ki pou rete nan peyi a.
Woe [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
9 Men sèman mwen tande Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, fè: Tout kay sa yo gen pou yo tounen mazi. Yo te mèt bèl kou yo bèl, yo te mèt gwo kou yo gwo, p'ap gen moun pou rete ladan yo.
By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
10 Jaden rezen ki sou dis kawo tè ap bay yon sèl barik diven. Pou chak dis mamit grenn yo plante, y'a rekòlte yon sèl mamit.
For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
11 Madichon pou moun k'ap leve granmaten pou yo ale chache gwòg pou yo bwè, pou moun k'ap rete byen ta lannwit pou bwè diven jouk yo sou!
Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
12 Lè y'ap fè fèt, se pou gen gita ak bandjo, tanbou ak fif ak barik plen diven. Men, yo pa chache konprann sa Seyè a ap fè, yo pa wè travay l'ap fè a.
And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
13 Pèp la pa konn anyen menm. Se poutèt sa y'ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Grannèg yo pral mouri grangou. Pèp la menm ap mouri swaf dlo.
Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
14 Peyi kote mò yo ye a ap tann yo konsa. L'ap louvri pòtay li yo byen gran pou l' resevwa yo. Se la tout grannèg yo pral desann ansanm ak pèp la k'ap fè bri ak kè kontan. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into her. (Sheol h7585)
15 Yo pral trennen tout moun nan labou. Yo pral fè yo wont. Tout moun ki t'ap gonfle lestonmak yo pral bese je yo atè.
And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
16 Men, Seyè a pral moutre jan li gen pouvwa lè l'a fè sa li gen pou l' fè a. Li pral fè wè jan li se Bondye tout bon ki apa a lè l'a jije pèp li a.
And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
17 Toupatou, nan lavil yo, mouton yo ap mache manje zèb tankou nan savann. P'ap gen pak ankò pou angrese bèt. Tout bèt ap lage. Y'ap mache manje toupatou nan lavil la.
And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
18 Madichon pou nou! Nou sitèlman renmen mechanste n'ap fè a, n'ap trennen l' dèyè nou kote nou pase. Peche nou yo te mèt gwo, n'ap rale yo dèyè nou tankou bèt k'ap rale kabwèt!
Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
19 Y'ap plede di: Se pou Bondye fè vit! Se pou li prese fè sa l'ap fè a pou nou ka wè l'. Se pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa prese fè travay li vle fè a, pou nou ka wè sa li gen nan tèt li.
Who are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
20 Madichon pou moun ki vle fè byen pase pou mal, mal pase pou byen, pou moun k'ap di fènwa se limyè, limyè se fènwa, pou moun k'ap di bagay anmè dous, bagay dous anmè!
Woe [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
21 Madichon pou moun ki konprann yo gen konesans, pou moun ki mete nan tèt yo yo gen lespri!
Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
22 Madichon pou nou! Lè se boutèy diven pou nou desann, nou pa manke kouraj! Lè se gwòg pike pou nou konpoze, nou pa manke vanyan gason!
Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23 Men, nou lage moun ki koupab yo pou lajan. Nou pa kite moun k'ap mache dwat yo jwenn jistis.
Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
24 Se sa ki fè y'ap disparèt nou sou tè a tankou pay ak zèb chèch ki boule nan dife. Rasin yo ap pouri anba tè. Van ap pran flè yo, l'ap bwote yo ale tankou pousyè, paske yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te ba yo. Yo te meprize kòmandman Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te bay.
Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
25 Se sa ki fè tou, Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp li a. Li te leve men l' sou yo, li frape yo. Lè sa a, mòn yo tranble. Kadav moun mouri yo ap trennen nan mitan lari tankou fatra. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin ak yo.
Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
26 Seyè a leve drapo l' pou l' bay siyal la. L'ap rele yon pèp ki byen lwen. L'ap soufle byen fò, l'ap rele moun soti jouk lòt bò nèt, nan dènye bout latè. Gade! Y'ap vole konsa, y'ap kouri vini!
And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
27 Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki bouke! Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki fè bitay! Yo pa konn sa ki rele kabicha, ale wè dòmi! Ren yo toujou mare. Sapat yo toujou mare byen sere nan pye yo.
There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
28 Pwent flèch yo taye byen fen. Banza yo tou pare pou tire. Pye chwal yo di kou wòch. Kabwèt yo woule vit tankou van siklòn.
Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
29 Sòlda yo gwonde tankou fenmèl lyon. Yo rele tankou yon bann ti lyon. Yo gwonde, yo tonbe sou bèt yo pran an, yo pote l' ale. Pa gen moun ki pou rache l' soti nan bouch yo!
Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
30 Jou sa a, y'ap gwonde sou pèp Izrayèl la. Y'ap fè bri tankou lanmè lè li move. Voye je, gade peyi a! Se renk fènwa ak tray pou tout moun. Nwaj nwa bouche toupatou nan syèl la!
And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
