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 rams to the ruler of the land from Selah in the wilderness, to 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.
As wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so the women of Moab are at the fords of the Arnon River.
3 “Bannou konsèy! Fè yon desizyon! Voye lonbraj ou tankou lannwit nan gran lajounen! Kache sila ki san abri yo! Pa trayi refijye a!
“Give instruction, execute justice; provide some shade like night in the middle of the day; hide the fugitives; do not betray the fugitives.
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 them live among you, the refugees from Moab; be a hiding place for them from the destroyer.” For the oppression will stop, and destruction will cease, those who trample will disappear from 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.
A throne will be established in covenant faithfulness; and one from David's tent will faithfully sit there. He will judge as he seeks justice and does 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 Moab's pride, his arrogance, his boasting, and his anger. But his boastings are empty words.
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.
So Moab wails for Moab—they all wail! Mourn, you who are utterly destroyed, for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
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.
The fields of Heshbon have dried up as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have trampled the choice vines that reached to Jazer and spread into the desert. Its shoots spread abroad; they went 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.
Indeed I will weep along with Jazer for the vineyard of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh. For on your fields of summer fruits and harvest I have ended the shouts of joy.
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.
Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruit tree groves; and there is no singing, or shouts in the vineyards. No one treads out wine in the presses, for I have put an end to the shouts of the one who treads.
11 Pou sa, kè mwen sone tankou ap pou Moab ak santiman anndan mwen pou Kir-Haréseth.
So my heart sighs like a harp for Moab, and my inward being for Kir Hareseth.
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.
When Moab wears himself out on the high place and enters his temple to pray, his prayers will accomplish nothing.
13 Se pawòl sa a ke SENYÈ a te pale avan sa sou Moab.
This is the word that Yahweh spoke concerning Moab previously.
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.”
Again Yahweh speaks, “Within three years, the glory of Moab will disappear; in spite of his many people, the remnant will be very few and insignificant.”
