Ezayi 19

1 Pwofesi konsènan Égypte la. “Gade byen, SENYÈ a monte sou yon nwaj rapid pou L rive Égypte. Zidòl Égypte yo va tranble nan prezans Li; kè Ejipsyen yo va fann anndan yo.

THE VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.

2 Pou sa, Mwen va eksite Ejipsyen vin kont Ejipsyen. Yo chak va goumen kont frè pa yo, e yo chak kont vwazen yo; vil kont vil e wayòm kont wayòm.

And the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, and law against law.

3 Konsa, lespri a Ejipsyen yo va vin twouble anndan yo, e Mwen va boulvèse tout plan yo. Konsa, yo va vire kote zidòl, fantom a mò yo, sila ki pale ak mò yo ak divinò yo.

And the spirit of the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.

4 Anplis, Mwen va livre Ejipsyen yo nan men a yon mèt mechan. Yon gran wa pwisan va gouvène sou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.

And I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus says the Lord of hosts.

5 Dlo lanmè yo va vin sèch e rivyè a va vin sèch san dlo.

And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.

6 Kanal yo va lage yon movèz odè. Rivyè Égypte yo va vin sèch e san dlo. Wozo ak zèb dlo yo va rete pouri.

And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.

7 Gwo wozo a bò Rivyè Nil la, arebò Nil la ak tout chan ki fin plante akote Nil la va vin sèch, pouse ale, e p ap gen la ankò.

And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.

8 Moun lapèch yo va plenyen; tout sila ki konn voye yon liy nan Nil la va lamante, e sila ki ouvri filè sou dlo yo va santi gwo pèt.

And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.

9 Anplis, sila k ap pwodwi twal len nan ki fèt ak len swa ak bòs twal blan yo va tris nèt.

And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.

10 Pilye a Égypte yo va kraze nèt; tout anplwaye yo va afilje nan nanm yo.

And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.

11 Prens a Tsoan yo pa plis ke moun fou. Konseye a pi saj Farawon yo vin bèt nèt. Kòman nou menm, mesye, nou ka di Farawon: “Mwen se fis a moun saj yo, fis a wa ansyen yo”?

And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counselors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons of ancient kings?

12 Eh byen, kote moun saj ou yo? Souple, kite yo pale ak ou, e kite yo konprann sa ke SENYÈ dèzame yo te planifye pou fè kont Égypte.

Where are now your wise men? and let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts purposed upon Egypt?

13 Prens a Tsoan yo te aji nan foli. Prens a Noph yo te byen tronpe. Sila ki ta ang prensipal a pèp li a fin mennen Égypte nan wout egare.

The princes of Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.

14 SENYÈ a te mele nan li yon lespri ki fè l toudi; yo mennen Égypte nan wout egare nan tout sa li fè, tankou moun sou k ap glise tonbe nan vomisman li.

For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.

15 P ap gen travay pou Égypte; ni pou tèt li, ni pou ke li, branch palmis li, oswa sa ke wozo li yo ka fè.

And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.

16 Nan jou sa a, Ejipsyen yo va vin tankou fanm. Yo va tranble nan gwo laperèz akoz pase men ke SENYÈ a ap fè pase sou yo.

But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.

17 Peyi Juda va devni yon gwo laperèz pou Égypte. Tout moun ki tande non li va gen gwo lakrent li akoz volonte a SENYÈ dèzame yo, ki poze kont yo.

And the land of the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning it.

18 Nan jou sa a, senk gwo vil peyi Égypte yo va pale langaj a Kanaraneyen yo, e yo va sèmante alyans ak SENYÈ dèzame yo. Youn nan yo va rele Vil Destriksyon an.

In that day there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.

19 Nan jou sa a, va gen yon lotèl a SENYÈ a nan mitan peyi Égypte la, e yon pilye a SENYÈ a toupre fwontyè li a.

In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.

20 Li va vin fè yon sign ak yon temwen a SENYÈ dèzame yo nan peyi Égypte; paske yo va kriye a SENYÈ a akoz sila k ap oprime moun yo, e Li va voye ba yo yon sovè, yon defansè e Li va delivre yo.

And it shall be for a sign to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save them.

21 Konsa SENYÈ a va fè Égypte konnen Li. Konsa, Ejipsyen yo va konnen SENYÈ a nan jou sa a. Yo va anplis adore Li avèk sakrifis ak ofrann. Yo va fè yon ve a SENYÈ a, epi yo va akonpli li.

And the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].

22 SENYÈ a va frape Égypte; frape, men geri li. Yo va retounen kote SENYÈ, epi Li va reponn yo e geri yo.

And the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly heal them.

23 Nan jou sa a, va gen yon gran chemen soti an Égypte pou rive Assyrie. Asiryen yo va antre an Égypte, e Ejipsyen yo an Assyrie. Ejipsyen ak Asiryen yo va adore ansanm.

In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.

24 Nan jou sa a, Israël va fè yon twazyèm nan, ansanm ak Égypte ak Assyrie, yon gran benediksyon nan mitan mond lan.

In that day shall Israel be third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,

25 Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo ap beni yo e di: “Beni se Égypte, pèp Mwen an e Assyrie, zèv men Mwen an, ak Israël, eritaj Mwen an.”

saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is among the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
