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.
Woe to Ariel. Ariel, the city where David camped. Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
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 will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
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 camp in a circle around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
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.
You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will 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 your arrogant will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will 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 will be visited by YHWH of hosts with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with 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.
The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like 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.
It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and look, he drinks; but he awakes, and look, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
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.
Pause and wonder. Blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, 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 YHWH has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and he has covered your heads (the seers).
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.”
All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, 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 one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."
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 YHWH said, "Because these people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.
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, look, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
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 deeply hide their counsel from YHWH, 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?”
You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about 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?
Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded 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.
In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will 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 humble also will increase their joy in YHWH, and the poor among humankind will 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 ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil 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 cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
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 YHWH, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face 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 will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will 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 will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."
