Ezayi 24
1 Gade byen, SENYÈ a va devaste tout latè ak gwo destriksyon, boulvèse sifas li e gaye tout moun ki rete ladann.
Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.
2 Pèp la menm jan ak prèt la, sèvitè a tankou mèt li, sèvant lan tankou mètrès li, sa k ap achte tankou sa k ap vann, sila k ap fè prè a tankou sila k ap prete a, sila ki resevwa kredi a tankou sila k ap bay kredi a.
And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.
3 Latè va devaste nèt e vin depouye, paske SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa a.
The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.
4 Latè kriye ak doulè e vin fennen nèt. Sila ki egzalte wo sou moun latè yo vin disparèt.
The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.
5 Anplis, latè vin plen ak pouriti a moun k ap viv ladann, paske yo te transgrese lalwa yo, vyole règleman yo, e te kraze akò letènèl la.
The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.
6 Akoz sa, yon malediksyon devore latè a, e sila ki rete ladann yo vin twouve koupab. Konsa, sila ki rete sou latè yo vin brile e se sèl kèk grenn moun ki rete.
Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.
7 Diven nèf la fèb. Chan rezen an gate. Tout kè kontan yo fè gwo plent.
The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.
8 Kè kontan a tanbouren yo vin rete, bri a moun k ap fete yo vin sispann.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.
9 Yo pa bwè diven ak chanson; bwason fò yo vin anmè pou sila ki bwè l yo.
They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.
10 Vil gwo dezòd la vin kraze nèt. Tout kay vin fèmen pou pèsòn pa antre.
The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.
11 Gen gwo kriye nan lari a pou afè diven. Tout kè kontan vire an gwo tristès.
There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.
12 Se dezolasyon ki rete nan vil la e pòtay la fin kraze nèt.
In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 Paske se konsa l ap ye nan mitan latè a pami pèp yo; tankou lè bwa doliv souke fò, tankou sila ki ranmase apre rekòlt rezen an fin fèt yo.
Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.
14 Yo leve vwa yo; yo kriye ak kè kontan. Yo kriye soti nan lwès akoz majeste SENYÈ a.
They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.
15 Pou sa, bay glwa a SENYÈ a nan lès, non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan peyi kot lanmè yo.
Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.
16 Soti nan dènye pwent latè, nou tande chan yo: “Glwa a Sila Ki Dwat la,” men mwen di: “Malè a mwen menm! Malè a mwen menm! Elas pou mwen! Moun trèt yo aji an trèt e moun trèt yo aji an trèt anpil.”
From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.
17 Gwo laperèz, twou fòs ak pèlen vin devan nou menm ki rete sou latè.
Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Konsa, li va rive ke sila ki sove ale lè l tande gwo dega a va vin tonbe nan fòs la, e sila ki rale kò l sòti nan fòs la va pran nan pèlen an; paske fenèt anlè yo vin louvri e fondasyon latè yo ap tranble.
And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.
19 Latè vin dechire. Latè vin fann nèt. Latè souke ak vyolans.
The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.
20 Latè woule de bò tankou moun ki anba gwòg. Li pyete tankou vye kay pay. Akoz transgresyon li yo peze lou sou li, li va tonbe nèt pou l pa janm leve ankò.
The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.
21 Li va rive nan jou sa a ke SENYÈ a va pini lame syèl anwo yo ak wa latè sou latè yo.
And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.
22 Yo va ranmase ansanm tankou prizonye nan yon kacho e yo va fèmen nan prizon. Apre anpil jou, yo va pini.
And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.
23 Konsa, lalin nan va vin twouble e solèy la va vin wont, paske SENYÈ dèzame yo va renye sou Mòn Sion ak Jérusalem, e laglwa Li va devan ansyen Li yo.
Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.
