Ezayi 21
1 Pwofesi konsènan dezè lanmè a. Kon tanpèt van nan dezè a kontinye ravaje, sa sòti nan dezè a, de yon peyi etonnan.
The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
2 Yon vizyon tèlman rèd devwale devan m. Moun nan ki trèt la, fè trèt toujou, e sila k ap detwi a, detwi toujou. Monte Élam, fè syèj! Mwen te fè tout plenyen Médie sispann.
A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
3 Pou rezon sa a, kwis mwen plen doulè. Gwo lapèn sezi mwen tankou doulè a fanm ansent. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa ka tande. Mwen tèlman pè ke m pa ka wè.
Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
4 Panse mwen ap vire tounen. Gwo efryans plen tèt mwen. Ti limyè aswè a ke m te anvi wè a, koulye a vin fè m tranble.
My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
5 Yo prepare tab la, yo plase watchman nan, yo manje, yo bwè. Leve, o kapitèn yo, mete lwil sou boukliye yo!
Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
6 Paske konsa SENYÈ a pale avèk mwen: “Ale pozisyone gadyen an; kite li bay rapò a sa li wè a.
For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
7 Lè l wè sila ki monte cheval yo, chevalye aliye pa de yo, yon lign bourik yo, yon lign chamo yo, kite li veye ak atansyon, veye byen pre.”
And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
8 Gadyen nan rele kon yon lyon: “O SENYÈ, mwen kanpe tout jou yo san deplase sou wo tou la! Nan lanwit sou pòs gad la!
And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
9 Atansyon! Veye byen! Men yon ekip moun monte, chevalye alinye pa de yo ap vini.” Li te reponn: “Tonbe, Babylone fin tonbe! Tout imaj a dye li yo kraze atè.”
And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
10 O moun pa m ke yo fin bat nèt kon sereyal! Sa ke m te tande soti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, sa mwen fè nou konnen.
O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
11 Pwofesi konsènan Edom an. Gen yon moun ki toujou ap rele m depi nan Séir: “Gadyen, kijan nwit lan ap avanse? Gadyen, kijan nwit lan ap avanse?”
The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
12 Gadyen an reponn: “Maten an vin pwoche; men osi anplis, nwit lan. Si ou ta vle fè ankèt, fè ankèt. Retounen ankò.”
The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
13 Pwofesi konsènan Arabie a. Fòk nou pase nwit lan nan rakbwa pikan Arabie yo, O karavàn a Dedan yo.
The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
14 Pote dlo pou moun swaf yo, O moun ki rete nan peyi Théma yo; rankontre ak sila k ap sove ale ak pen an.
Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
15 Paske yo te sove ale chape devan nepe yo, devan nepe ki rale yo, banza ki koube a ak presyon batay la.
For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
16 Paske konsa SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Nan yon ane, jan yon anplwaye ta kab konwole li, tout grandè a Kédar va fini;
For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
17 epi retay sòlda banza yo, mesye pwisan a, fis a Kédar yo, va vin yon tikras; paske SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te pale.”
And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
