Ezayi 16
1 Voye mouton tribi a bay gouvènè peyi a, soti nan Sela pa wout dezè a, jis rive nan mòn a fi Sion an.
Send ye the lamb due to the ruler of the land, From Sela towards the desert, —Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion;
2 Li va rive ke tankou zwazo k ap sove ale, oswa k ap gaye sòti nan nich yo, fi Moab yo va parèt kote pou janbe Arnon an.
Yet shall it be that—Like wandering birds from a nest cast forth, Shall be the daughters of Moab, at the fords of Arnon.
3 “Bannou konsèy! Fè yon desizyon! Voye lonbraj ou tankou lannwit nan gran lajounen! Kache sila ki san abri yo! Pa trayi refijye a!
Bring thou, in counsel, Execute thou judgment, Make as the night, thy shadow in the midst of high noon, —Hide thou the outcasts, The wanderer, do not thou reveal.
4 Kite refijye Moab yo rete avè w! Devni yon kote pou yo kache kont destriktè a.” Paske opresè yo p ap reyisi. Destriksyon an va sispann. Opresè ap disparèt nèt nan peyi a.
Let mine own outcasts, sojourn with thee, O Moab, become thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler, —For vanished is the oppressor, At an end is extortion, They who tread down have ceased out of the land.
5 Yon twòn va etabli avèk lanmou dous, e yon jij va chita ak fidelite sou li nan tant David la. Li va chache jistis e va fè vit pou etabli ladwati.
So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David, —Judging—and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.
6 Nou konn tande afè ògèy Moab la, yon ògèy ki depase; afè awogans li an, ògèy li a, ak gwo kòlè li a. Pawòl anfle ògèy li pa anyen.
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Proud exceedingly! His haughtiness and his arrogance and his passion, Not true, are his boastings.
7 Pou sa, Moab va rele anmwey; tout sila nan Moab yo va plenyen anlè. Ou va plenyen pou gato rezen a Kir-Haréseth kon sila konplètman frape yo.
Therefore shall, Moab, howl for, Moab, All that belong to her, shall wail, —For the ruins of Kir-hareseth, shall they moan out Utterly stricken!
8 Paske chan a Hesbon yo te fennen, ansanm ak chan rezen a Sibma yo. Mèt nasyon yo te kraze gwo grap ki te pi chwazi li yo, ki te rive jis Jaezer e te lonje kote dezè yo. Branch li yo te gaye nèt e te menm pase lòtbò lanmè a.
For, the fields of Heshbon are withered—The vine of Sibmah, the owners of nations, have broken off ruddy branches, Unto Jazer, had they reached, They had spread abroad to the desert, —Her boughs, had stretched forth, had gone over to the sea.
9 Pou sa, Mwen va kriye byen fò pou Jaezer, pou chan Sibma a. Mwen va tranpe nou nèt ak dlo k ap sòti nan zye m, O Hesbon ak Élealé, paske sou fwi gran sezon nou yo ak rekòlt nou yo gen gwo lagè.
For this cause, will I bewail, in the wailing of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I will drench thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh, —For, upon thy fruit-harvest, and upon thy grain-harvest, the battle-shout, hath fallen.
10 Kè kontan ak lajwa sou chan fètil la ale. Nan chan rezen yo tou, p ap genyen chante a, ni gwo kri egzaltasyon yo, ni ouvriye k ap foule diven anba pye li nan peze yo. Mwen te fè kriye sa yo sispann.
Now shall be withdrawn rejoicing and exultation out of the garden-land, And, in the vineyards, shall be neither singing nor shouting, —Wine in the winepress, the treader, shall not tread, The vintage-shout, have I made to cease.
11 Pou sa, kè mwen sone tankou ap pou Moab ak santiman anndan mwen pou Kir-Haréseth.
For this cause, mine inward parts—for Moab, like a lyre, shall make a plaintive sound, —Yea what is within me, for Kir-heres.
12 Konsa, li va rive ke lè Moab prezante tèt li, lè l fin fatige kò l sou wo plas li e rive nan sanktiyè li a pou fè lapriyè, li p ap reyisi.
And it shall be—When it is seen that Moab hath laboured in vain on the high place, He shall enter into his holy place to pray, and shall not prevail,
13 Se pawòl sa a ke SENYÈ a te pale avan sa sou Moab.
This, is the word which Yahweh spake concerning Moab in, time past;
14 Men koulye a, SENYÈ a pale e di: “Avan twazan fin rive, jan yon anplwaye ta konte yo, glwa a Moab la va vin degrade ansanm ak tout gwo kantite pèp li a, e retay li va vin piti e san fòs.”
But now, hath Yahweh spoken saying, In three years, —as the years of a hireling, shall the glory of Moab be diminished, with all the great multitude, —even a very small remnant, of no account.
