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 hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, 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 hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused 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 filled have been my loins [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.
Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made 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 watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye 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 unto me: 'Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
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 hath seen a chariot — a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention — He hath 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 crieth — a lion, 'On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed 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 lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: 'Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken 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 Jehovah 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. Unto me is [one] calling 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 hath said, 'Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, 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. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers 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.
To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, 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 from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out 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 unto me: 'Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
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 Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'
