Ezayi 22

1 Pwofesi konsènan vale a vizyon an. Sa k pase nou koulye a, ke nou tout monte sou twati kay yo?

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

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.

Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead 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 thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, [which] have fled from far.

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 said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling 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 [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of 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.

And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 Vale pi bèl nou yo te vin plen ak cha e chevalye yo te pran pozisyon yo nan pòtay la.

And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

8 Epi li te retire defans Juda. Nan jou sa a, nou te depann de zam a kay forè yo.

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of 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.

Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10 Konsa nou te konte kay Jérusalem e nou te detwi kay yo pou ranfòse miray la.

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify 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.

Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned 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.

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with 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.”

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall 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.

And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

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.

Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, [even] unto Shebna, which [is] over the house, [and say],

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 hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou voye ou tèt devan. Li prèt pou sezi ou byen di,

Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

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.

He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’s house.

19 M ap retire ou nan pozisyon ou e m ap rale ou desann soti nan wo plas ou.

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

20 Konsa, li va rive nan jou sa a ke Mwen va voye rele sèvitè Mwen an, Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a,

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the 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.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants 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.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall 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.

And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

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.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

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, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
