2 Wa 19
1 Lè Ézéchias te tande sa, li te chire rad li. Li te kouvri kò li avèk twal sak e li te antre lakay SENYÈ a.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 Epi li te voye Éliakim ki te sou tout kay avèk Schebna, grefye a ak ansyen pami prèt yo, kouvri avèk twal sak kote Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la.
And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 Yo te di li: “Konsa pale Ézéchias: ‘Jou sa a se yon jou gwo twoub, chatiman, ak abandon; pwiske pitit yo vin parèt pou akouche, men pa gen fòs pou fè l.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Petèt SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, va tande tout pawòl a Rabschaké yo ke mèt li a, wa Assyrie a, te voye pou repwoche Bondye Vivan an e va repwoche pawòl ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te tande a. Pou sa, ofri lapriyè pou retay ki toujou rete a.’”
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Pou sa, sèvitè a wa Ézéchias yo te vin kote Ésaïe.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ésaïe te di yo: “Konsa nou va pale a mèt nou an: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Pa krent akoz pawòl ke ou te tande yo, avèk sila sèvitè a wa Assyrie yo te blasfeme Mwen yo.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Veye byen, mwen va mete yon lespri nan li pou l tande yon fo nouvèl pou retounen nan pwòp peyi pa li. Epi Mwen va fè l tonbe pa nepe nan pwòp peyi li.”’”
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Alò, Rabschaké te retounen e te twouve wa Assyrie a t ap goumen kont Libna; paske li te tande ke li te fin kite Lakis.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Lè l te tande sa pa Tirhaka, wa Ethiopie a, vwala, li vin parèt pou goumen kont ou, li te ankò voye mesaje yo kote Ézéchias e te di:
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Konsa ou va pale a Ézéchias, wa Juda a, ‘Pa kite Bondye ou a nan Sila ou mete konfyans ou an twonpe ou e di: “Jérusalem p ap antre nan men a wa Assyrie a.”
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Gade byen, ou konn tande sa ke wa Assyrie a te fè a tout peyi yo, destriksyon konplèt. Èske se konsa ke ou va delivre a?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Èske dye a nasyon sila yo ke zansèt mwen yo te detwi yo, te delivre yo, menm? Gozan, Charan, Retseph, avèk fis a Éden ki te Telassar yo?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Edom which were in Telassar?
13 Kibò wa Hamath la ye, wa Arpad la, wa gran vil Sepharvaïm nan, Henna, avèk Ivva?’”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Alò, Ézéchias te pran lèt la soti nan men a mesaje yo e li te li li. Li te monte lakay SENYÈ a, e li te louvri li devan SENYÈ a.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Ézéchias te priye devan SENYÈ a, e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, ki chita sou twòn li pami cheriben yo, Ou se Bondye a, Ou sèl Ou pami tout wayòm sou latè yo. Ou te fè syèl la avèk tè a.
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
16 Panche zòrèy Ou, O SENYÈ a pou tande. Ouvri zye Ou O SENYÈ pou wè. Koute pawòl a Sanchérib yo, ke li te voye pou repwoche Bondye Vivan an.
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 Anverite, O SENYÈ, wa Assyrie yo te devaste nasyon yo avèk peyi pa yo,
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 epi yo te jete dye pa yo nan dife, paske se pa dye yo ye, men se zèv a men lèzòm yo, bwa avèk wòch. Pou sa, yo te detwi yo.
and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Alò, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, mwen priye Ou, delivre nou nan men li pou tout wayòm sou latè yo kab konnen Ou sèl, O SENYÈ, se Bondye a.”
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
20 Epi Ésaïe, fis a Amots la te voye kote Ézéchias e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Akoz ou te priye a Mwen pou Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, Mwen te tande.”
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee].
21 Sa se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale kont li an: “Li te meprize ou e moke ou, Fi vyèj a Sion an. Li te souke tèt li dèyè do ou, Fi a Jérusalem nan!
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
22 Se kilès ou te repwoche e blasfeme a? Epi kont kilès ou te leve vwa ou a, avèk ògèy, ou te leve zye ou? Kont Sila ki Sen a Israël la?
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
23 Pa mesaje ou yo, ou te repwoche SENYÈ a. Ou te di: “Avèk anpil cha mwen yo, mwen te rive sou wotè a mòn yo. Jis rive nan kote pi izole nan Liban an, mwen va koupe gwo bwa sèd li yo, avèk bwa pichpen pi chwazi li yo. Epi mwen va antre jis nan lojman pi izole yo, nan pi gran rakbwa ki te genyen yo.
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Mwen te fouye pwi yo e te bwè dlo etranje li yo, Epi avèk pla pye mwen, mwen te seche tout rivyè Égypte yo.”
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
25 Èske ou pa t tande? Depi lontan Mwen te fè l; Depi nan tan ansyen yo, Mwen te planifye l. Koulye a, Mwen gen tan fè l vin rive, ke ou ta fè vil fòtifye yo vin pil ranblè.
Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Pou sa, abitan pa yo te manke fòs. Yo te deranje e te vin wont nèt. Yo te tankou zèb chan, tankou zèb vèt, tankou zèb sou twati kay ki vin brile avan li kab grandi.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
27 Men M konnen chita ou, sòti avèk antre pa ou, ak laraj ke ou konn fè kont Mwen.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
28 Epi akoz laraj ou kont Mwen, akoz awogans ou vin monte nan zòrèy Mwen, pou sa, mwen va mete zen Mwen nan nen ou, ak brid Mwen, pou antre nan lèv ou, epi Mwen va vire ou fè ou fè bak pa menm chemen ke ou te antre a.”
Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29 “Epi sa va sign lan pou ou: Ou va manje nan lane sila a sa ki grandi pou kont li, nan dezyèm ane a, sa ki sòti menm jan an konsa e nan twazyèm ane a, ou va simen, rekòlte, plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi pa yo.
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
30 Retay ki chape lakay Juda a va ankò pran rasin k ap pouse pa anba pou bay fwi pa anlè.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Paske depi Jérusalem, va vin sòti yon retay e sòti nan Mòn Sion, sila ki chape yo. Zèl SENYÈ a va acheve sa.”
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD shall perform this.
32 “Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a selon wa Assyrie a: ‘Li p ap rive nan vil sila a, ni tire yon flèch la. Li p ap rive devan li avèk yon boukliye, ni monte yon ran syèj kont li.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
33 Pa menm chemen ke li te antre a, pa li menm, li va retounen e li p ap rive nan vil sila a’, deklare SENYÈ a.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
34 ‘Paske Mwen va defann vil sa a pou sove li pou koz Mwen menm ak pou koz sèvitè mwen an, David.’”
For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
35 Epi li te vin rive menm nwit sa a ke zanj SENYÈ a te sòti e te frape san-katre-ven-senk-mil moun nan kan Asiryen yo. Lè moun yo te leve granmmaten, men vwala, yo tout te mouri.
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 Pou sa, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te sòti e te retounen lakay li pou te rete Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 Konsa, li te vin rive pandan li t ap adore lakay Nisroc la, dye pa li a, ke Adrammélec avèk Scharetser te touye li avèk nepe, epi yo te chape nan peyi Ararat. Epi Ésar-Haddon, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
