Ezayi 22
1 Pwofesi konsènan vale a vizyon an. Sa k pase nou koulye a, ke nou tout monte sou twati kay yo?
This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
2 Nou menm ki te plen ak gwo bri, nou menm vil plen ak zen. Mò pa nou yo pa t mouri akoz nepe, ni yo pa t mouri nan batay la.
O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
3 Tout chèf nou yo te kouri ale ansanm e te kaptire san sèvi ak banza yo. Nou tout ke yo te twouve yo te kaptire ansanm, malgre yo te sove ale rive byen lwen.
All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
4 Akoz sa, mwen di nou: “Tounen zye nou byen lwen m; kite mwen kriye byen fò, pa eseye rekonfòte m pou destriksyon a fi a pèp mwen an.”
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
5 Paske Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te fè yon jou panik opresyon ak konfizyon nan vale vizyon an, miray ki kraze ak kriye nan mòn lan.
For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
6 Élam te leve fouwo flèch yo, cha yo, sòlda sou pa yo ak chevalye yo; epi Kir te dekouvri boukliye a.
Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
7 Vale pi bèl nou yo te vin plen ak cha e chevalye yo te pran pozisyon yo nan pòtay la.
Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
8 Epi li te retire defans Juda. Nan jou sa a, nou te depann de zam a kay forè yo.
He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
9 Nou te wè ke brèch nan miray vil a David yo te anpil; epi nou te fè koleksyon dlo nan etan dlo pi ba a.
You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
10 Konsa nou te konte kay Jérusalem e nou te detwi kay yo pou ranfòse miray la.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
11 Nou te fè yon rezèvwa antre de miray yo pou dlo a ansyen etan dlo a. Men nou pa t depann sou Li ki te fè l, ni ou pa t fè konsiderasyon de Li ki te fè plan an depi tan ansyen nan.
You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
12 Akoz sa, nan jou ke Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo te rele nou pou kriye ak gwo plenyen yo, pou pase razwa nan tèt ak mete twal sak yo.
On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 Men olye sa, nou fè gwo fèt ak kè kontan, touye bèf, kòche mouton, manje vyann ak bwè diven: “Kite nou fè fèt; paske demen nou va mouri.”
But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14 Men SENYÈ dèzame yo te revele Li menm nan zore m yo: “Anverite, nou p ap padone pou krim sa a jiskaske nou mouri”, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.
The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
15 Se konsa, pale Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo: “Vini, ale kote jeran sila a, kote Schebna ki se chèf an tèt anndan kay wa a.
This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
16 ‘Ki dwa ou gen isit la e se kilès ou gen isit la ki fè w fouye yon tonm pou ou menm isit la?’ Ou menm ki fouye yon tonm sou gran wotè a, ki fouye yon plas repo nan wòch la?”
What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
17 Gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou voye ou tèt devan. Li prèt pou sezi ou byen di,
Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
18 epi fè ou woule fè yon bòl pou jete nan yon gwo peyi. La, ou va mouri e la, bèl cha ou yo ap ye; Ou menm ki se wont pou lakay mèt ou a.
roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
19 M ap retire ou nan pozisyon ou e m ap rale ou desann soti nan wo plas ou.
I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
20 Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va voye rele sèvitè Mwen an, Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a,
On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21 Mwen va abiye l ak vètman pa w e tache sentiwon pa w, byen tache sou li. Mwen va fè l konfyans pou l pran otorite pa w la e li va vin yon papa a sila ki rete Jérusalem yo ak lakay Juda a.
I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Konsa, Mwen va mete kle lakay David la sou zepòl li. Lè l ouvri li, pèsòn p ap fèmen l e lè l fèmen l, pèsòn p ap ouvri li.
I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
23 Mwen va kondwi li antre tankou yon klou sou yon kote byen solid e li va devni yon twòn glwa pou lakay papa l.
I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
24 Konsa, yo va kloue sou li tout glwa lakay papa l, desandan ak sila k ap vini yo, tout veso pi piti yo, soti nan bòl, jis rive nan bokal.
So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
25 “Nan jou sa a”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Klou ki kloue nan yon kote solid la, va rache tonbe. Epi chaj ki kenbe sou li a va koupe retire nèt; paske SENYÈ a te pale.”
In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
