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 [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
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.
Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil 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 do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you 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.
It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
5 Malè a Assyrie, baton kòlè Mwen an, e zouti pou kòlè Mwen an.
“Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
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.
I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
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.
And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—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 says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
9 Èske Calno pa tankou Carkemisch, oswa Hamath pa tankou Arpad? Ni Samarie pa tankou Damas?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as 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 has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than 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?”
Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
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.
And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
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 has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
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 gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
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.
Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not 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 the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As 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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in 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 his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
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 [are] few, And a youth writes them.
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 has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Yon retay va retounen, retay a Jacob la, retounen kote Bondye pwisan an.
A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To 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 your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
23 Paske yon destriksyon konplè nan tout latè a dekrete deja, e SENYÈ dèzame yo va egzekite li.
For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making 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 said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way 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 a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
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 YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way 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 has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
28 Li te vini kont Ajjath, li te pase nan Migron; nan Micmasch, li te depoze bagaj li.
He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
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 have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Kriye fò ak vwa ou, fi a Gallim nan! Fè atansyon, Laïs ak malere Anathoth!
Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
31 Madména fin sove ale. Abitan Guébim yo fin chache sekou.
Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
32 Men jodi a, li va rete Nob. Li souke ponyèt li vè mòn fi a Sion an, kolin a Jérusalem nan.
Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, 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, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become 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 has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
