Ezayi 22
1 Pwofesi konsènan vale a vizyon an. Sa k pase nou koulye a, ke nou tout monte sou twati kay yo?
The prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, That all thine inhabitants are gone up to the house-tops?
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 wast full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city! Thy slain fall not by the sword; They are not slain 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 leaders flee together, By the bowmen are they bound; All found within thee are made captive together, Even they who have fled from afar.
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, say I, look away from me, that I may weep bitterly; Strive not to comfort me for the desolation 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 a day of trouble, of desolation, and of perplexity cometh From the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision. They break down the walls; The cry reacheth 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 beareth the quiver, With chariots full of men, and with horsemen; Kir uncovereth the shield.
7 Vale pi bèl nou yo te vin plen ak cha e chevalye yo te pran pozisyon yo nan pòtay la.
Thy fairest valleys, [[O Jerusalem, ]] are full of chariots; The horsemen set themselves in array against the gate;
8 Epi li te retire defans Juda. Nan jou sa a, nou te depann de zam a kay forè yo.
The veil of Judah is torn from her. But in such a day ye look to the armor 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 mark how many are the breaches of the city of David, And collect the waters of the lower pool;
10 Konsa nou te konte kay Jérusalem e nou te detwi kay yo pou ranfòse miray la.
Ye number the houses of Jerusalem, And ye break down the houses to prepare 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 make a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool; But ye look not to Him who hath done this; Ye regard not Him that hath prepared this from afar.
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.
The Lord, Jehovah of hosts, calleth you this day To weeping and to lamentation, 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.”
But, behold, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating flesh and drinking wine! “Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow 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.
Therefore it hath been revealed in my ears by Jehovah of hosts; “This iniquity shall not be forgiven you, till ye die,” Saith the Lord, Jehovah 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, Jehovah of hosts: Go in to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the household, 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 here hewest thee out a sepulchre, —That thou hewest out thy sepulchre on high, And gravest out a habitation for thyself in the rock?
17 Gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou voye ou tèt devan. Li prèt pou sezi ou byen di,
Behold, Jehovah will cast thee headlong with a mighty thrust;
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 violently roll thee together like a ball; Like a ball will he hurl thee into a wide country. There shalt thou die; And there shall be thy splendid chariots, Thou disgrace of the house of thy lord!
19 M ap retire ou nan pozisyon ou e m ap rale ou desann soti nan wo plas ou.
I will drive thee from thy post, And from thy station I will 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,
In that day I will call my servant, Even 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.
I will clothe him with thy robe, And bind thy girdle around him; Thy government will I commit to 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.
I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; 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.
I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, And he shall be a glorious seat for 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.
Upon him shall hang all the glory of his father's house, The offspring and the offshoots; Every small vessel, from the goblet even to all the pitchers.
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 Jehovah of hosts, The peg that was once fastened in a sure place shall be moved; It shall be cut down, and fall, And the burden which was upon it shall come to the ground. For Jehovah hath said it.
