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 them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
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 away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
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?
What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh 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.
Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
5 Malè a Assyrie, baton kòlè Mwen an, e zouti pou kòlè Mwen an.
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of 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 an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot 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 doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
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 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 hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and 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?”
Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images.”
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.
But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty 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 hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
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.”
The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that 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 against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that 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.
Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle 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.
The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers 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.
The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
19 Epi rès bwa ki rete nan forè li yo, va vin tèlman piti an kantite, ke yon timoun ta ka konte yo.
The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child 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.
In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, 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, to the mighty Potentate;
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, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with righteousness.
23 Paske yon destriksyon konplè nan tout latè a dekrete deja, e SENYÈ dèzame yo va egzekite li.
For devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole 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.
Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in 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.”
But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
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.
Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in 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.
In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
28 Li te vini kont Ajjath, li te pase nan Migron; nan Micmasch, li te depoze bagaj li.
He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth 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 pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
30 Kriye fò ak vwa ou, fi a Gallim nan! Fè atansyon, Laïs ak malere Anathoth!
Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
31 Madména fin sove ale. Abitan Guébim yo fin chache sekou.
Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
32 Men jodi a, li va rete Nob. Li souke ponyèt li vè mòn fi a Sion an, kolin a Jérusalem nan.
Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake 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.
But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall be brought low.
34 Li va koupe nèt gwo rakbwa forè a ak yon rach ki fèt an fè, e Liban va tonbe akoz Toupwisan an.
He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
