Ezayi 3
1 Paske gade byen, Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo va retire sou Jérusalem ak Juda ni sipò, ni mwayen materyo, tout sa ki pou founi pen e tout sa ki pou founi dlo;
For, behold, the Lord, Yhwh of Armies, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 Nonm pwisan an, gèrye la, jij ak pwofèt la, divinò a ak ansyen an,
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 Kapitèn dè senkant yo, nonm ki resevwa onè a, konseye a, atizan an, ak sila ki fò nan fè wanga a.
The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 Konsa, Mwen va fè senp tigason yo vin chèf sou yo, e timoun san kontwòl yo va vin renye sou yo.
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 Epi pèp la va oprime, youn pa yon lòt e chak pa vwazen li; jenn yo va fè rebèl kont granmoun yo e sila ki enferyè a kont sila ki gen onè a.
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 Lè yon nonm mete men l sou frè l lakay papa l, epi di: “Se ou ki gen manto a, se ou k ap chèf nou an, e tout miray kraze sa yo va anba pouvwa ou”,
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 Nan jou sa a, li va diskite ak yo e li va di: “Se pa mwen menm k ap geri nou an; paske lakay mwen pa gen ni pen, ni manto; se pa mwen menm pou nou ta chwazi chèf sou pèp la.”
In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 Paske Jérusalem chape glise e Juda fin tonbe akoz pawòl ak zak yo kont SENYÈ a; pou yo fè rebèl kont prezans sen Li an.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against Yhwh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Vizaj figi yo fè temwen kont yo, e yo montre tout moun peche yo tankou Sodome. Yo pa menm kache sa a. Malè a yo menm! Paske yo mennen mal la vin tonbe sou yo.
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Di a moun dwat yo sa prale byen pou yo, paske yo va manje fwi a zèv yo.
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Malè a mechan an! Sa prale mal pou li. Paske sa li merite a, se sa k ap rive li.
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 O pèp Mwen an! Moun ki oprime yo se timoun ak fanm ki gouvène sou yo. O pèp Mwen an! Sila k ap gide ou yo, egare ou, e konfonn direksyon chemen nou yo.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 Se SENYÈ a ki parèt kon advèsè yo e ki kanpe pou jije pèp la.
Yhwh standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 SENYÈ a antre nan jijman ak ansyen ak prens a pèp Li a. “Se nou ki te devore chan rezen an; piyaj malere a fèt anndan lakay nou.
Yhwh will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 Se kilès ki bannou dwa pou kraze pèp Mwen an, e foule figi malere yo?” SENYÈ dèzame yo pale.
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies.
16 Anplis SENYÈ a di: “Akoz fi a Sion yo ògeye, mache ak tèt anlè ak zye k ap sedwi, mache ak ti pa kout pou atire zye gason, e fè sone tout ti son braslè sou pye yo.
Moreover Yhwh saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Pou sa, SENYÈ a va aflije tèt fi a Sion yo ak kal, e SENYÈ a va fè tèt yo chòv.”
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And Yhwh will discover their secret parts.
18 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va retire bèlte a braslè pye yo, bando sou tèt yo, dekorasyon kwasan yo,
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 zanno zòrèy yo, braslè yo, vwal yo,
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 dekorasyon tèt yo, chenn nan pye yo, bèl twal sentiwon yo ak bwat pafen yo, bwòch yo,
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 bag dwèt yo, zanno nen yo.
The rings, and nose jewels,
22 Vètman gwo fèt yo, gwo manto yo, bous lajan yo,
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 miwa men yo, ti sou-vètman yo, tiban yo, ak vwal yo.
The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 Epi li va fin rive ke olye sant pafen dous, ap gen move odè pouriti; olye se sentiwon, ap gen yon kòd; olye se cheve swa byen ranje, ap gen yon tèt chòv; olye se bèl vètman, ya mete twal sak; epi y ap pote etanp sou kò pou ranplase bote.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Gason nou yo va tonbe devan nepe, ak moun pwisan nou yo nan batay.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 Epi pòtay vil la va kriye fò ak lamantasyon, doulè ak dezolasyon nèt. Li va chita atè.
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
