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 lo! the lordli gouernour, the Lord of oostis, schal take awei fro Jerusalem and fro Juda a myyti man, and strong, and al the strengthe of breed, and al the strengthe of watir;
2 Nonm pwisan an, gèrye la, jij ak pwofèt la, divinò a ak ansyen an,
a strong man, and a man a werriour, and a domesman, and a profete, and a false dyuynour in auteris, and an elde man,
3 Kapitèn dè senkant yo, nonm ki resevwa onè a, konseye a, atizan an, ak sila ki fò nan fè wanga a.
a prince ouer fifti men, and a worschipful man in cheer, and a counselour, and a wijs man of principal crafti men, and a prudent man of mystik, ethir goostli, speche.
4 Konsa, Mwen va fè senp tigason yo vin chèf sou yo, e timoun san kontwòl yo va vin renye sou yo.
And Y schal yyue children the princes of hem, and men of wymmens condiciouns schulen be lordis of hem.
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 puple schal falle doun, a man to a man, ech man to his neiybore; a child schal make noyse ayens an eld man, and an vnnoble man ayens a noble man.
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”,
For a man schal take his brother, the meneal of his fadir, and schal seie, A clooth is to thee, be thou oure prince; forsothe this fallyng be vndur thin hond.
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.”
And he schal answere in that dai, and seie, Y am no leche, and nether breed, nether cloth is in myn hous; nyle ye make me prince of the puple.
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 whi Jerusalem felle doun, and Juda felle doun togidere; for the tunge of hem, and the fyndingis of hem weren ayens the Lord, for to terre to wraththe the iyen of his mageste.
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 knowyng of her cheer schal answere to hem; and thei prechiden her synne, as Sodom dide, and hidden not. Wo to the soule of hem, for whi yuels ben yoldun to hem.
10 Di a moun dwat yo sa prale byen pou yo, paske yo va manje fwi a zèv yo.
Seie ye to the iust man, that it schal be to hym wel; for he schal ete the fruyt of hise fyndyngis.
11 Malè a mechan an! Sa prale mal pou li. Paske sa li merite a, se sa k ap rive li.
Wo to the wickid man in to yuel; for whi the yeldyng of hise hondis schal be maad to hym.
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.
The wrongful axeris of my puple robbiden it, and wymmen weren lordis therof. Mi puple, thei that seien thee blessid, disseyuen thee, and distrien the weie of thi steppis.
13 Se SENYÈ a ki parèt kon advèsè yo e ki kanpe pou jije pèp la.
The Lord stondith for to deme, and `the Lord stondith for to deme puplis;
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.
the Lord schal come to doom, with the eldere men of his puple, and with hise princes; for ye han wastid my vyner, and the raueyn of a pore man is in youre hous.
15 Se kilès ki bannou dwa pou kraze pèp Mwen an, e foule figi malere yo?” SENYÈ dèzame yo pale.
Whi al to-breken ye my puple, and grynden togidere the faces of pore men? seith the Lord God of oostis.
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.
And the Lord God seide, For that that the douytris of Syon weren reisid, and yeden with a necke stretchid forth, and yeden bi signes of iyen, and flappiden with hondis, and yeden, and with her feet yeden in wel araied goyng,
17 Pou sa, SENYÈ a va aflije tèt fi a Sion yo ak kal, e SENYÈ a va fè tèt yo chòv.”
the Lord schal make ballyd the nol of the douytris of Sion, and the Lord schal make nakid the heer of hem.
18 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va retire bèlte a braslè pye yo, bando sou tèt yo, dekorasyon kwasan yo,
In that dai the Lord schal take awei the ournement of schoon, and goldun litle bellis lijk the moone,
19 zanno zòrèy yo, braslè yo, vwal yo,
and ribans, and brochis, and ournementis of armes nyy the schuldris, and mytris, ether chapelettis,
20 dekorasyon tèt yo, chenn nan pye yo, bèl twal sentiwon yo ak bwat pafen yo, bwòch yo,
and coombis, and ournementis of armes niy the hondis, and goldun ourenementis lijk laumpreis, and litil vessels of oynementis,
21 bag dwèt yo, zanno nen yo.
and eere ryngis, and ryngis, and preciouse stoonys hangynge in the forheed,
22 Vètman gwo fèt yo, gwo manto yo, bous lajan yo,
and chaungynge clothis, and mentils, and schetis, ether smockis, and needlis,
23 miwa men yo, ti sou-vètman yo, tiban yo, ak vwal yo.
and myrouris, and smal lynun clothis aboute the schuldris, and kercheues, and roketis.
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 stynk shal be for swete odour, and a corde for the girdil; ballidnesse schal be for crispe heer, and an heire for a brest girdil.
25 Gason nou yo va tonbe devan nepe, ak moun pwisan nou yo nan batay.
Also thi faireste men schulen falle bi swerd, and thi stronge men schulen falle in batel.
26 Epi pòtay vil la va kriye fò ak lamantasyon, doulè ak dezolasyon nèt. Li va chita atè.
And the yatis therof schulen weile, and morene; and it schal sitte desolat in erthe.
