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, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
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.
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it 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 a mount, and I will raise forts 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 shalt be brought down, [and] shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath 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.
Moreover, the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passeth away: yes, it shall be at 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.
Thou shalt be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of 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 munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night-vision.
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 shall even be as when a hungry [man] dreameth, and behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath 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.
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: 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 the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he 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 the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, 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 that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, 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,
Wherefore the LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept 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] an astonishing work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid.
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 them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth 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?”
Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had 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 shall the deaf 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 the LORD, 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 naught, and the scoffer is consumed, and all that 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.
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.
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 saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now become 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 seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear 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 that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
