Ezayi 10
1 Malè a sila ki fè règleman lajistis ki pa dwat yo ak sila k ap anrejistre desizyon ki pa jis yo,
Woe unto those that decree decrees of unrighteousness, and the writers who write down wrongful things;
2 pou rache lajistis nan men a endijan yo, vòlè dwa a moun malere yo, pou vèv ka sèvi kon piyaj pou yo, e pou yo ka piyaje òfelen yo.
To turn aside from judgment the needy, and to rob the just due of the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may plunder the fatherless!
3 Alò, se kisa nou va fè nan jou chatiman an ak nan jou destriksyon ki va sòti byen lwen an? A kilès nou va kouri rive pou jwenn sekou? Epi se ki kote nou va lèse richès ak byen nou?
And what will ye do on the day of the visitation, and at the desolation which will come from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Anyen pa p rete men y ap akwoupi pami kaptif yo oswa tonbe pami sila ki touye yo. Malgre sa, kòlè Li pa detounen e men L toujou lonje.
Without me they shall kneel down under the prisoners, and under the slain shall they fall. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand still remaineth stretched out.
5 Malè a Assyrie, baton kòlè Mwen an, e zouti pou kòlè Mwen an.
Woe over Asshur, the rod of my anger; and a staff is in their hand my indignation.
6 Mwen voye li kont yon nasyon ki san Bondye e Mwen bay li komisyon kont pèp k ap resevwa kòlè Mwen an, pou kaptire piyaj yo, sezi byen yo, e pou foule yo anba tankou labou nan lari.
Against a hypocritical nation will I send him, and against the people of my fury will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to carry off the prey, and to render them trodden down like the mire of the streets.
7 Men se pa sa ki entansyon li; ni plan an pa konsa nan kè l. Men pito bi li se pou detwi e koupe retire nèt pami anpil nasyon.
But he deemeth it not so, and his heart doth not think so; but to destroy is in his heart, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Paske li di: “Èske tout prens mwen yo pa wa yo?
For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Èske Calno pa tankou Carkemisch, oswa Hamath pa tankou Arpad? Ni Samarie pa tankou Damas?
Is not Calno like Karkemish? is not Chamath like Arpad? is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Menm jan men m te rive kote wayòm a zidòl yo, ki te gen imaj taye pi gran pase sila Jérusalem ak Samarie yo,
As my hand hath reached the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images exceeded in number those of Jerusalem and of Samaria:
11 eske mwen p ap fè a Jérusalem ak imaj pa li yo menm jan ke m te fè a Samarie ak zidòl pa li yo?”
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, do so unto Jerusalem and unto her idols?”
12 Se konsa li va rive ke lè Senyè a fin akonpli tout travay Li yo sou Mòn Sion ak sou Jérusalem, Mwen va pini fwi a kè ògèy wa Assyrie a ak gwosè awogans li.
Wherefore shall it come to pass, that when the Lord hath completed all his work on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the haughtiness of the king of Asshur, and the vain-glory of his proud looks.
13 Paske li te di: “Ak pouvwa men m ak sajès mwen, mwen te fè sa a, paske mwen gen konprann. Mwen te retire bòn a tout pèp la, mwen te piyaje tout byen yo, e tankou yon nonm pwisan, mwen te ranvèse chèf yo.
For he hath said, “By the strength of my hand have I done it, and by my wisdom, for I have intelligence; and I have removed the boundaries of nations, and their laid-up treasures have I plundered, and brought down low those that were powerfully seated.
14 Epi men m te lonje desann jis li rive nan richès a pèp la kon yon nich, e tankou yon moun ta ranmase ze ki abandone, se konsa mwen te ranmase tout latè. Konsa, pa t gen youn nan yo ki te bat zèl li, oswa te ouvri bèk li, ni ki te kriye.”
And my hand hath reached, as a bird's nest, the wealth of the people: and as one gathereth up eggs that are forsaken, have I myself gathered up all the earth: and there was not one that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.”
15 Èske rach la fèt pou vin ògeye sou sila ki koupe avè l la? Èske si a konn egzalte tèt li sou sila ki manevre l la? Sa ta sanble ak yon baton ki voye sila ki leve l la, oswa tankou yon baton ki leve sa ki pa fèt ak bwa a.
Shall the axe boast itself over him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that swingeth it? as if the rod should swing about those that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up him who is no wood.
16 Pou sa, Senyè a, BONDYE dèzame yo, va voye yon maladi deperi moun nèt pami gèrye vanyan li yo; epi anba ògèy li, va rasanble yon dife tankou yon flanm k ap brile.
Therefore will the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, send forth among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory shall be kindled a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 Limyè Israël la va devni yon dife; Sila ki Sen an, yon flanm. Li va brile yo e devore pikan li yo ak raje li yo nan yon sèl jou.
And the light of Israel shall become a fire, and his Holy One a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers on one day.
18 Epi Li va detwi glwa a forè ak jaden plen ak fwi li yo, ni nanm, ni kò; epi sa va tankou lè yon nonm malad vin deperi nèt e deseche nèt.
And the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body, will he destroy: and he shall be as [a tree] eaten to powder by the worms.
19 Epi rès bwa ki rete nan forè li yo, va vin tèlman piti an kantite, ke yon timoun ta ka konte yo.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few in number, so that a boy may write them down.
20 Alò nan jou sa a, retay Israël la ak sila lakay Jacob ki te chape yo p ap janm depann de sila ki te frape yo, men va anverite depann de SENYÈ a, Sila ki sen an Israël la.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall not farther lean for support upon him that smiteth them; but they shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, in truth.
21 Yon retay va retounen, retay a Jacob la, retounen kote Bondye pwisan an.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Paske malgre pèp ou a, O Israël, kapab tankou sab lanmè, sèlman yon retay ladann va retounen. Yon destriksyon, debòde ak ladwati, fèt pou rive.
For though thy people Israel should be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant [only] of them shall return: destruction is decreed, it overfloweth with righteousness.
23 Paske yon destriksyon konplè nan tout latè a dekrete deja, e SENYÈ dèzame yo va egzekite li.
For it is completed and decreed: the Lord, the Eternal of hosts will do it in the midst of all the land.
24 Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo: “O pèp Mwen an, ki rete Sion an, pa pè Assyrie ki frape nou ak baton an e ki leve baton l kont nou kon Ejipsyen yo te konn fè a.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the Eternal of hosts, Be not afraid, O my people that dwellest in Zion, of Asshur, who will smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Paske nan yon tan byen kout, kòlè Mwen kont nou va fin pase, e kòlè Mwen va dirije vè destriksyon pa yo.”
For yet but a very little while more, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger shall be for their destruction.
26 SENYÈ dèzame yo va leve yon gwo fwèt kont li tankou masak a Madian nan wòch Oreb la. Baton Li va lonje sou lanmè a e Li va leve li wo jan Li te konn fè an Égypte la.
And the Lord shall lift up a scourge over him like [at] the smiting of Midian at the rock of 'Oreb: and as his staff was lifted over the sea, so will he carry him off after the manner of Egypt.
27 Konsa li va rive nan jou sa a, ke chaj Li va leve soti sou do nou, jouk Li sou kou nou, e jouk la va kraze akoz lwil oksonye.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be removed from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be broken because of the fatness.
28 Li te vini kont Ajjath, li te pase nan Migron; nan Micmasch, li te depoze bagaj li.
He cometh to 'Ayath, he passeth on to Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
29 Yo te pase nan lakoup lan epi te di: “Nan Guéba, nou va fè plas pou nou rete.” Rama nan laperèz nèt e Guibea a Saul la sove ale nèt.
They go through the pass; they take up their lodging at Geba'; Ramah trembleth; Gib'ah of Saul fleeth.
30 Kriye fò ak vwa ou, fi a Gallim nan! Fè atansyon, Laïs ak malere Anathoth!
Let thy voice resound, O daughter of Gallim; listen Layshah; O poor 'Anathoth!
31 Madména fin sove ale. Abitan Guébim yo fin chache sekou.
Madmenah is in motion; the inhabitants of Gebim are assembled to flee.
32 Men jodi a, li va rete Nob. Li souke ponyèt li vè mòn fi a Sion an, kolin a Jérusalem nan.
As yet today will he remain at Nob: then will he swing his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Gade byen, SENYÈ a, BONDYE dèzame yo va koupe tout branch yo ak yon gran bri. Sa osi ki gen gran tay va koupe nèt e sila a gran wotè yo va vin bese nèt.
Behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, will lop off the fruitful bough with terrific might: and those of towering growth shall be hewn down, and the high shall be laid low.
34 Li va koupe nèt gwo rakbwa forè a ak yon rach ki fèt an fè, e Liban va tonbe akoz Toupwisan an.
And he will cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and the Lebanon shall fall by [means of] a mighty one.
