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 burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.

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 I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

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 Egypt has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.

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 have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.

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

And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and 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 they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.

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.

Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.

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 fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.

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

And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.

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

And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.

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”?

Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”

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] they now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against 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.

Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her 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.

YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs in his vomit.

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 is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.

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.

In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving over it.

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 Judah has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling against 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 are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.

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 is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near 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 has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered 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 YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].

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

And YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed 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 a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with 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 Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.

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.”

In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
