Ezayi 29
1 Malè a Ariel! Ariel, vil kote David yon fwa te fè kan an! Ogmante lane sou lane, obsève fèt ou yo nan lè yo.
Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year. Let the feasts come round.
2 Mwen va mennen gwo pwoblèm sou Ariel e li va vin yon vil gwo doulè ak lamantasyon. Pou Mwen, li va tankou yon lotèl k ap brile a.
Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation, and she shall be to me as Ariel.
3 Mwen va fè kan kont ou e antoure ou. Mwen va monte aparèy syèj kont ou e fè yo monte fò batay kont ou.
And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops. And I will raise siege works against thee.
4 Konsa ou va vin bese. Se jis nan tè a, pale ou va bougonnen depi nan pousyè. Vwa ou va, anplis, tankou yon vwa a yon lespri, konsi ou konnen l deja, k ap soti nan tè a. Se konsa pawòl ou yo va chichote soti nan pousyè a.
And thou shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of he who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground. And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Men fòs kantite a lènmi ou yo va devni tankou pousyè fen e fòs kantite a mechan san prensip yo va tankou pay k ap vannen ale. Sa va fèt nan yon moman; sibitman.
But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passes away. Yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.
6 Li va vizite pa SENYÈ dèzame yo. Li va pini yo ak tonnè, tranbleman detè, gwo bri, toubiyon ak tanpèt ak flanm dife a ki manje tout bagay.
She shall be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 Konsa, fòs kantite a tout nasyon ki va fè lagè kont Ariel yo, menm tout moun ki fè lagè kont li ak gwo fò li yo ak sila ki bay li gwo twoub, sa va devni tankou yon rèv, yon vizyon nan nwit.
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night.
8 Sa va tankou lè yon nonm grangou fè rèv—e gade byen, l ap manje. Men lè l leve nan dòmi a, gade byen, li toujou fèb e grangou; li pa satisfè. Oswa lè yon nonm swaf fè rev—epi gade byen, l ap bwe, men lè l leve li toujou fèb, e swaf la pa t satisfè. Se konsa kantite tout nasyon ki fè lagè kont Mòn Sion yo va ye.
And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats. But he awakes, and his soul is empty. Or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks. But he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite. So shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion.
9 Pran reta epi tan! Avegle tèt nou pou nou avèg! Yo vin sou, men pa avèk diven; yo kilbite, men pa akoz bwason fò.
Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Paske SENYÈ a te vide sou nou, yon lespri pwofon somèy. Li te fèmen zye nou menm, pwofèt yo, e Li te kouvri tèt nou menm, konseye yo.
For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered.
11 Tout vizyon va pou nou tankou pawòl a yon liv ki fèmen ak so. Lè yo bay li a yon moun ki konn li, yo di l: “Souple, li sa a.” Men li va di: “Mwen pa kapab, paske li fèmen ak so.”
And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 Konsa liv la va bay a sila ki pa ka li, e y ap di l: “Souple, li sa a.” Epi li va di: “Mwen pa kapab li.”
And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.
13 Senyè a te di: “Akoz pèp sa a rapwoche ak pawòl pa yo, e onore Mwen ak lèv yo, men yo retire kè yo byen lwen Mwen, e akoz adorasyon yo pou Mwen fèt pa tradisyon ki aprann pa kè,
And the Lord said, Inasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, but in vain they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
14 pou sa, gade byen, Mwen va yon fwa ankò aji ak mèvèy pami pèp sa; yon mèvèy ki etonan! Konsa, sajès a moun saj pa yo va disparèt, e konesans a moun ki gen bon konprann yo va vin kache.”
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder. I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.
15 Malè a sila ki kache plan yo byen fon pou SENYÈ a pa wè, e ki fè zak yo nan fènwa a, e y ap di: “Se kilès ki wè nou?” Oswa “Se kilès ki rekonèt nou?”
Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and, Who knows us?
16 Ou chavire bagay la nèt! Èske sila ki fè kanari a ta dwe konsidere egal ak ajil la, pou sa ki te fèt la, ta ka di a sila ki fè li a: “Li pa t fè mwen”; oswa sa ki te fòme a ta ka di a sila ki te fòme li a: “Li pa konprann anyen?”
Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay, that the thing made should say of him who made it, He did not make me, or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
17 Èske se pa yon ti kras tan ki rete ankò avan Liban vin transfòme an yon chan fètil, e chan fètil la va konsidere kon yon forè?
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 Nan jou sa a, moun soud yo va tande pawòl a liv la e zye avèg yo va wè sa ki te kon fènwa ak tenèb.
And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 Anplis, moun enb yo va fè kè yo pi kontan ak SENYÈ a, e malere yo pami moun yo va rejwi nan Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.
The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Paske moun san pitye yo va rive nan fen yo, e mokè yo va disparèt. Anverite, tout moun ak lentansyon fè mal, va vin koupe retire nèt—
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases. And all those who watch for iniquity are cut off,
21 sila ki pou valè a yon sèl pawòl, rele moun nan tribinal la, epi fè pyèj pou sila ki korije moun nan pòtay la, e ak fwod, rache dwa inosan an ak fo temwayaj.
who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
22 Akoz sa a, SENYÈ a ki te rachte Abraham nan, di konsènan lakay Jacob: “Jacob p ap ankò vin wont, ni figi li vin pal.
Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.
23 Men lè li wè pitit li yo, zèv men Mwen yo nan mitan li, yo va sanktifye non Mwen. Anverite, yo va sanktifye non a Sila Ki Sen a Jacob la, e va kanpe byen etone devan Bondye Israël la.
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name. Yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Anplis, sila ki fè tò nan panse yo, va konnen verite a, e sila ki kritike yo va resevwa enstriksyon.”
They also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmur shall receive instruction.
