Ezayi 24

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 it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.

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.
And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.
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.
There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.
7 Diven nèf la fèb. Chan rezen an gate. Tout kè kontan yo fè gwo plent.

It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.
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.
For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] grape harvest.
14 Yo leve vwa yo; yo kriye ak kè kontan. Yo kriye soti nan lwès akoz majeste SENYÈ a.
They they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.

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.”

17 Gwo laperèz, twou fòs ak pèlen vin devan nou menm ki rete sou latè.
Dread and pit and snare [are] on you 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 it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.

Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.
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.

And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will 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.
And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
