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.
To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.
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 ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? — from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?
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 it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
5 Malè a Assyrie, baton kòlè Mwen an, e zouti pou kòlè Mwen an.
Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand [is] Mine 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 profane nation I send him, 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 — he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not 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 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 got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven 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 hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil 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 hath said, 'By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,
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 as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I — I have gathered, And there hath 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.
— Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth 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 doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth 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 hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath 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 honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath 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 doth write 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 hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Yon retay va retounen, retay a Jacob la, retounen kote Bondye pwisan an.
A remnant returneth — a 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 be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, 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, Jehovah 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, Jehovah of Hosts, 'Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, 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, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine 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 awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath 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 hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.
28 Li te vini kont Ajjath, li te pase nan Migron; nan Micmasch, li te depoze bagaj li.
He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh 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, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Kriye fò ak vwa ou, fi a Gallim nan! Fè atansyon, Laïs ak malere Anathoth!
Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.
31 Madména fin sove ale. Abitan Guébim yo fin chache sekou.
Fled away hath Madmenah, 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 to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth 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.
Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are 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 hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!
