Ezayi 30
1 “Malè a pitit k ap fè rebèl yo”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Sila ki resevwa konsèy, men ki pa pa M; ki fè yon alyans, men pa nan Lespri pa M, pou ogmante peche sou peche;
Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin:
2 ki fè wout desann an Égypte san konsilte Mwen, pou yo ka fè azil, pou Farawon bay yo sekirite, e pou yo chache pwotèj nan lonbraj Égypte!
Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Akoz sa, sekirite Farawon va vin wont nou, e pwotèj nan lonbraj Égypte la va fè imilyasyon nou.
And the strength of Pharao shall be to your confusion, and the confidence of the shadow of Egypt to your shame.
4 Paske prens pa yo se nan Tsoan e anbasadè pa yo vin parèt nan Hanès.
For thy princes were in Tanis, and thy messengers came even to Hanes.
5 Tout moun va vin wont akoz yon pèp ki p ap ka bay yo okenn avantaj, ni pou sekou, ni pou pwofi, men pou wont, e anplis, pou repwòch.”
They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
6 Pwofesi konsènan bèt nan dezè Midi yo. Atravè yon peyi gwo twoub ak gwo doulè, ladan ki sòti manman lyon ak lyon an, vipè ak sèpan volan an; yo pote gwo kantite byen yo sou do jenn bourik, e trezò yo sou do chamo, pou rive kote yon pèp ki pa kapab bay yo okenn avantaj.
The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
7 Paske sekou Égypte, se vanite san rezilta. Akoz sa, Mwen te rele li Rahab ki kanpe janm.
For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
8 Koulye a, ale, ekri li sou yon adwaz devan yo, e enskri li sou yon woulo papye pou l ka sèvi nan tan k ap vini yo. Konsa la sèvi yon temwen jis pou tout tan.
Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.
9 Paske sa se yon pèp rebèl, fis manti, fis ki refize koute enstriksyon SENYÈ a;
For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children, children that will not hear the law of God.
10 ki di a konseye yo, “Ou pa dwe wè vizyon”, epi a pwofèt yo, “Ou pa dwe pwofetize a nou menm sa ki dwat. Pale nou bèl pawòl dous, pwofetize ilizyon.
Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us.
11 Sòti nan wout la, vire sou kote chemen an. Pa kite nou tande menm ankò afè a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.”
Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.
12 Akoz sa, konsa pale Sila Ki Sen an Israël la: “Akoz nou te rejte pawòl sa a, e te mete konfyans nou nan opresyon ak desepsyon, e te depann de yo,
Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and have trusted in oppression and tumult, and have leaned upon it:
13 akoz sa, inikite sa a va pou nou kon yon gwo brèch nan miray ki prèt pou tonbe a, yon gwo pati k ap souke nan yon miray ki wo, ki ka pete tonbe sibitman, nan yon enstan.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth, and is found wanting in a high wall, for the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
14 Lè l vin kraze, l ap tankou po a mèt kanari a, ki tèlman kraze ak vyolans ke yon mòso cha p ap ka twouve pami mòso yo, ki ta ka menm pote dife sòti nan founo a, oswa kenbe dlo ki sòti nan sitèn nan.”
And it shall be broken small, as the potter’s vessel is broken all to pieces with mighty breaking, and there shall not a sherd be found of the pieces thereof, wherein a little fire may be carried from the hearth, or a, little water be drawn out of the pit.
15 Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, sèl Sila Ki Sen an Israël la te di: “Nan repantans ak repo, nou va sove. Nan kalm ak konfyans, fòs nou ye.” Men nou pa t vle.
For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be. And you would not:
16 Nou te di: “Non, paske nou va sove ale sou cheval”. Akoz sa, nou va sove ale! “Nou va sove ale ak tout vitès”. Konsa, sila ki kouri dèyè ou va vini byen rapid.
But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.
17 Mil moun va sove ale menase pa yon sèl moun. Nou va sove ale sou menas a senk moun, jiskaske nou vin lage tankou yon drapo sou yon do mòn; tankou yon siyal k ap limen sou yon kolin.
A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of a ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.
18 Konsa, SENYÈ a ap tan. Li vle fè nou gras pou Li kapab egzalte, pou Li kapab fè nou mizerikòd. Paske SENYÈ a se yon Bondye de jistis. A la beni tout sila k ap tan Li yo beni!
Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19 Paske moun yo va rete nan Sion, nan Jérusalem. Nou p ap kriye ankò. Anverite Li va fè nou gras lè L tande vwa kriye nou. Lè L tande l, Li va reponn nou.
For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shell hear, he will answer thee.
20 Sepandan, Senyè a te bay nou pen advèsite, ak dlo lafliksyon, malgre, pwofesè nou yo, p ap kache tèt yo ankò, men zye nou va wè pwofesè nou yo.
And the Lord will give you spare bread, and short water: and will not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes shall see thy teacher.
21 Nenpòt lè ou vire adwat oswa agoch, zorèy nou va tande yon pawòl dèyè nou: “Sa se chemen an, mache ladann”.
And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
22 Nou va kraze jete limaj taye nou yo ki kouvri ak yon kouch ajàn, ak limaj an lò fon yo. Nou va gaye yo tankou bagay sal. Nou va di yo: “Retire ou la!”
And thou shalt defile the plates of thy graven things of silver, and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get thee hence.
23 Epi Li va bay lapli pou grenn semans ke ou simen nan tè a, ak pen ki soti nan rekòlt tè a. Li va bon e li va anpil. Nan jou sa a, bèt nou yo va manje nan yon patiraj byen laj.
And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy possession:
24 Anplis, bèf ak bourik ki travay latè yo va manje yon manje bon gou, ki te vannen ak pèl ak fouchèt.
And thy oxen, and the ass colts that till the ground, shall eat mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.
25 Sou chak mòn ki wo ak chak kolin, va gen sous ki kouri ak dlo nan jou gwo masak la lè fò yo vin tonbe.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower shall fall.
26 Limyè lalin nan va tankou limyè solèy la, e limyè solèy la va sèt fwa pi klere tankou limyè ki pou sèt jou, nan jou ke SENYÈ a geri frakti a pèp Li a e panse blesi ki te frape yo.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound.
27 Gade byen, non a SENYÈ a sòti yon kote byen lwen. Lakòlè Li plen chalè ak lafimen k ap monte byen pwès. Lèv Li plen ak gwo kòlè e lang Li tankou yon dife k ap brile tout bagay.
Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.
28 Souf Li tankou yon flèv k ap debòde, ki rive jis nan kou, pou souke nasyon yo. L ap fè yo ale retou nan yon paswa destriksyon. Yon brid ki mennen nan destriksyon an va plase nan bouch a pèp yo.
His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
29 Konsa, nou va chante tankou nan lannwit la, tankou lè nou rete nan fèt ak kè kontan, tankou lè yon moun ap mache sou son a flit, pou ale nan mòn SENYÈ a, Wòch Israël la.
You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.
30 SENYÈ a va fè yo tande vwa otorite Li, bra Li k ap desann ak gwo kòlè, nan flanm dife k ap brile tout bagay la, nan nwaj k ap pete ak gwo lapli ak lagrèl yo.
And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the dame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones.
31 Paske ak vwa SENYÈ a, Assyrie va vin etone nèt. L ap vin frape ak baton.
For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod.
32 Chak kout baton pinisyon ke SENYÈ a mete sou li, va fèt ak mizik a tanbouren ak gita. Li va fè batay ak yo. L ap rale tout zam yo parèt. Li va goumen kont yo.
And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall over throw them.
33 Paske plas pou brile a te prepare depi lontan. Anverite, li te prepare pou wa a. Li te fè l fon e laj, yon boukan ak anpil bwa. Se souf SENYÈ a, tankou yon tòran souf k ap limen dife sou li.
For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.
