Ezayi 27
1 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va pini Leviathan ak gwo nepe a byen di. Leviathan, sèpan tòde a, kap pran flit; li va touye dragon an ki rete nan lanmè a.
In that day will Jehovah punish with his sword, His hard, and great, and strong sword, The leviathan, that fleet serpent, Even the leviathan, that winding serpent; Yea, he will slay the monster, that is in the sea.
2 Nan jou sa a, chante pou li”Yon bèl chan rezen!
In that day, sing ye thus concerning the vineyard:
3 Mwen, SENYÈ a, se jeran li. Mwen wouze li tout tan. Pou pèsòn pa fè l donmaj, Mwen veye li lajounen kon lannwit.
“I, Jehovah, am its guardian; I will water it every moment; That no one may assault it, I will watch it day and night.
4 Mwen pa moun lakòlè. Men si Mwen ta jwenn raje ak pikan yo, Mwen ta fè batay! Mwen ta mache sou yo, e brile yo nèt.
There is no fury in me; But let me find the thorns and thistles in battle. I will go against them, And burn them up together,
5 Oswa, kite li depann de fòs Mwen pou l ka fè lapè avè M. Kite li fè lapè avè M.”
Unless they take hold of my protection, And with me make peace, And make peace with me.”
6 Nan jou k ap vini yo, Jacob va pran rasin. Israël va fleri e boujonnen. Yo va plen tout mond lan ak fwi.
In coming days shall Jacob take root, And Israel flourish and bud forth, And fill the world with fruit.
7 Èske Li te frape yo, jan li te frape sa yo ki frape yo? Oswa èske se tankou masak Sila ki touye yo a, Li te touye yo?
Did he smite Israel, as he smote those that smote him? Was he slain as those that slew him?
8 Ou te konfwonte yo ak egzil; ou te pouse yo ale. Ak souf fewòs Li, Li te chase yo ale nan jou van lès la.
In measure, by sending her away, didst thou punish her, Taking her away in the rough tempest, in the day of the east wind.
9 Akoz sa e atravè sa, inikite a Jacob la va padone. Konsa, sa va tout fwi la pou rete peche li: lè l fè lotèl wòch yo vin tankou poud wòch lakrè, pou Asherim nan ak lotèl lansan yo pa kanpe ankò.
By this, therefore, is the iniquity of Jacob expiated, And this is wholly the fruit of the removal of his sin, That He has made the stones of the altar like limestones broken in pieces, And that the images of Astarte and the sun-pillars no more stand.
10 Paske vil fòtifye a vin sèl, yon anplasman kay ki dezole e ki vin bliye tankou dezè. Jenn bèf la va manje la, li va kouche e manje sou branch li yo.
For the fortified city is desolate, A habitation forsaken, deserted like a wilderness; There doth the calf feed, and there doth he lie down, And consume her branches.
11 Lè branch li yo vin sèch, yo vin kase yo. Fanm yo va vini pou fè dife avèk yo, paske se yon pèp san konprann. Akoz sa Kreyatè yo a p ap fè konpasyon sou yo. Li ki te fòme yo a p ap bay yo gras.
When her boughs are withered, they are broken off; Women come, and burn them; For it was a people of no understanding; Therefore he that made him had not mercy on him, And he that formed him showed him no favor.
12 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va kòmanse bat gwo rekòlt Li depi nan flèv Rivyè Euphrate la jis rive nan dlo Égypte la, e nou va vin ranmase youn pa youn, O fis Israël yo.
But it shall come to pass in that day, That Jehovah shall gather fruit From the stream of the Euphrates to the river of Egypt, And ye shall be gathered, one by one, ye children of Israel!
13 Anplis, li va vin rive ke nan jou ke gran twonpèt la ap sone a, sila ki t ap peri nan peyi Assyrie yo, e ki te gaye an Égypte yo, va vin adore SENYÈ a nan mòn sen Jérusalem nan.
In that day shall a great trumpet be sounded, And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria, And are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship Jehovah upon the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
