< Ezayi 28 >
1 Malè a kouwòn ògèy a moun sou ak diven Éphraïm yo, ak flè fane li ki pèdi bèlte ak glwa li. Li menm ki sou tèt vale fètil a sila ki fin sou ak diven yo!
Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 Veye byen, SENYÈ a gen yon asistan ase fò e pwisan. Tankou tanpèt lagrèl, yon tanpèt destriksyon, yon tanpèt pwisan k ap debòde dlo, Li va vin jete yo atè ak men Li.
Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one. As a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 Kouwòn ògèy a moun sou Éphraïm yo va vin foule anba pye.
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot.
4 Epi flè ki kanpe sou tèt valè fètil la, va vin pèdi bèlte li tankou premye fwi figye etranje ke yon moun wè avan gran sezon a. Yon moun jwenn l, epi lapoula, li vale l.
And the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which, when he who looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand, he eats it up.
5 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ dèzame yo va vini yon bèl kouwòn, yon dyadèm ranpli ak glwa pou retay a pèp Li a.
In that day Jehovah of hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people,
6 Li va yon espri lajistis pou sila ki chita nan jijman an, yon ranfòsman pou sila k ap detounen atak devan pòtay yo.
and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 Anplis yo vin toudi akoz bwason fò yo: prèt la ak pwofèt la vin toudi ak bwason fò. Yo vin konfonn akoz diven an, e yo vin toudi akoz bwason fò a. Yo kilbite pandan y ap fè vizyon, e yo manke tonbe lè y ap rann jijman.
And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up of wine. They stagger with strong drink; they err in vision; they stumble in judgment.
8 Paske tout tab yo plen ak salte vomisman an; pa menm gen yon kote ki pwòp.
For all tables are full of vomit, filthiness, no place clean.
9 A ki moun Li ta enstwi konesans e a kilès Li ta entèprete mesaj la? Sila ki fenk sevre nan lèt yo? Sila ki fenk sispann pran tete yo?
Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
10 Paske Li pale, Lòd sou lòd, lòd sou lòd, liy sou liy, liy sou liy, yon ti kras pa isi, yon ti kras pa la.
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.
11 Anverite, Li va pale ak pèp sa a ak lèv bege e ak yon lang etranje,
No, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue he will speak to this people,
12 Sila ki te di yo: “Men repo isit la; bay repo a sila ki fatige yo,” epi: “Men repo”, men yo pa t koute.
to whom he said, This is the rest. Give ye rest to him who is weary. And this is the refreshing. Yet they would not hear.
13 Akoz sa, pawòl SENYÈ a, yo va: “Lòd sou lòd, lòd sou lòd, liy sou liy, liy sou liy, yon ti kras pa isi, yon ti kras pa la,” pou yo kapab ale, chape glise pa dèyè, vin kraze, pran nan pèlen e vin prizonye.
Therefore the word of Jehovah shall be to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little, that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Pou sa, koute pawòl SENYÈ a, O nou menm k ap moke yo, sila ki chèf sou pèp sa a ki rete nan Jérusalem nan:
Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, who rule this people that is in Jerusalem.
15 “Akoz nou te di: ‘Nou te fè yon akò ak lanmò’, epi ak Sejou mò yo, nou te vin angaje. Gwo dega p ap rive sou nou lè l pase, paske nou te fè pwotèj nou ak manti e nou te kache kò nou ak desepsyon.” (Sheol )
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we are at agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through it shall not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hid ourselves under falsehood. (Sheol )
16 Pou sa, Senyè BONDYE a di: “Gade byen, Mwen ap poze nan Sion yon wòch, yon wòch eprèv, yon wòch ang prensipal pou fondasyon ki plase byen solid la. Sila ki kwè nan li a, p ap twouble menm.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation. He who believes in him shall, no, not be shamed.
17 Mwen va fè jistis sèvi kon lign mezi e ladwati kon règ nivo. Lagrèl va bale tout fatra nèt ki fèt ak manti, e dlo yo va debòde antre nan kote sekrè a.
And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet. And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
18 Akò nou an ak lanmò va anile, e angajman nou an ak Sejou mò yo p ap kanpe. Lè gwo twoub la k ap kraze tout moun nan, pase kote nou, alò, nou va foule anba l. (Sheol )
And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol )
19 Otan li pase, li va kenbe nou; maten apre maten, l ap pase. Nenpòt lè pandan lajounen oswa lannwit, pou konprann sa li ye a, va pote gwo laperèz.”
As often as it passes though, it shall take you. For morning by morning it shall pass through, by day and by night. And it shall be nothing but terror to understand the report.
20 Kabann nan twò kout pou lonje kò nou e dra a twò etwat pou vlope nou.
For the bed is shorter than what a man can stretch himself on it, and the covering narrower than what he can wrap himself in it.
21 Paske SENYÈ a va leve tankou nan Mòn Peratsim. Li va fache tankou nan vale Gabaon, pou fè tach Li, tach ki pa sanblab ak lòt, e pou egzekite travay Li, travay ekstrawòdinè Li.
For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Alò, konsa, pa aji tankou mokè yo, pou chenn ki mare nou yo pa vin pi rèd. Paske mwen te tande soti nan Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, desizyon deja fèt pou detwi tout latè a.
Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong. For I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth.
23 Prete zòrèy nou pou tande vwa mwen! Koute e tande pawòl mwen yo.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Èske kiltivatè a raboure tout tan pou plante grenn semans? Èske li pa janm sispann vire tè a?
Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 Èske li pa fè tè a nivo pou simen grenn lanni, gaye grenn kimen, plante ble nan ranje yolòj nan plas li ak pitimi nan kote pa li?
When he has leveled the face of it, does he not cast abroad the chick-peas, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border of it?
26 Paske Bondye pa li a enstwi li, e montre li sa ki bon.
For his God instructs him aright, and teaches him.
27 Paske grenn lanni pa kraze vannen ak gwo baton, ni wou kabwèt pa woule sou kimen, men lanni bat ak yon planch bwa e kimen ak yon baton.
For the chick-peas are not threshed with a sharp instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin, but the chick-peas are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Sereyal pou fè pen oblije kraze; anverite, li p ap ka kontinye bat pou vannen li tout tan. Menmsi wou kabwèt li a ak pye cheval li yo ta pase sou li, cheval la pa ka fè l moulen.
Bread grain is ground, for he will not be always threshing it. And though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he does not grind it.
29 Sa anplis, sòti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo, ki te fè konsèy Li mèvèye, ak sajès Li byen gran.
This also comes forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
