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;
Tragedy is coming to my defiant children, declares the Lord. You make plans that don't come from me; you make alliances against my wishes, adding sin to 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!
You go to Egypt without asking me, looking to Pharaoh for protection, hoping to find safety hiding behind Egypt.
3 Akoz sa, sekirite Farawon va vin wont nou, e pwotèj nan lonbraj Égypte la va fè imilyasyon nou.
But the protection of Pharaoh will be an embarrassment to you; hiding behind Egypt will only bring you humiliation.
4 Paske prens pa yo se nan Tsoan e anbasadè pa yo vin parèt nan Hanès.
Even though he has officials at Zoan and his messengers reach 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.”
the Egyptians will offend everyone because they are useless—they're no help and good for nothing, except for causing shame and bringing disgrace.
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.
A message about the animals of the Negev. The messengers travel through a harsh and hostile land where lions and lionesses live, vipers and vicious snakes too. Their donkeys are burdened down with valuable gifts, their camels are loaded with treasure, to give to a worthless people that can't help.
7 Paske sekou Égypte, se vanite san rezilta. Akoz sa, Mwen te rele li Rahab ki kanpe janm.
Egypt's support is an empty breath of wind. That's why I call her Pride Sitting Down.
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 go and write all this down on a tablet and on a scroll so that it will last forever and ever.
9 Paske sa se yon pèp rebèl, fis manti, fis ki refize koute enstriksyon SENYÈ a;
For they are a rebellious people, deceitful children, who refuse to listen to the Lord's instructions.
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.
They tell people who see visions, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Don't give us prophecies about doing right—just tell us pleasant things and give us fake prophecies.
11 Sòti nan wout la, vire sou kote chemen an. Pa kite nou tande menm ankò afè a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.”
Stop telling us straight; go a different direction! We don't want to hear any more about the Holy One of Israel.”
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,
So this is how the Holy One of Israel replies, Since you have rejected this message, and since you trust in oppression and believe in dishonesty,
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.
your punishment will suddenly fall on you, like a high wall that bulges out and collapses in an instant.
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.”
You will be smashed like a clay pot, broken into such tiny pieces that there won't be a big enough piece to pick up coals from a hearth or a little bit of water from a well.
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.
This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, said, If you repent and patiently trust in me, you would be saved; you would be strong if you had such calm confidence. But you refused to do it.
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.
You replied, “No! We'll escape on horseback! We'll get away on fast horses!” But the fast ones will be the ones chasing 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.
Just one of them will chase after a thousand of you. Just five of them will make you all run away. All that will be left of you will look like a flag fluttering on the top of a mountain, a banner waving on 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!
So the Lord waits, wanting to be kind to you, ready to act to show you mercy, for the Lord is a God who does what is right. All who wait for him are blessed.
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.
People of Zion, you who live in Jerusalem, you won't have to weep any more. When you cry for help he will be kind to you. He will answer you immediately he hears you.
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.
Even though the Lord will give you the bread of hardship to eat and the water of suffering to drink, your teacher will no longer hide himself from you—you will see him with your own eyes.
21 Nenpòt lè ou vire adwat oswa agoch, zorèy nou va tande yon pawòl dèyè nou: “Sa se chemen an, mache ladann”.
When you walk to the right or to the left, you will hear this command coming from behind you: “This is the way to follow.”
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!”
You will defile your silver-coated idols coated with silver and your gold-covered images. You will throw them away like a dirty cloth used for periods, and say to them, “out of here!”
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.
He will send rain when you sow, and the land will produce great harvests. At that time your cattle will feed in rich pastures.
24 Anplis, bèf ak bourik ki travay latè yo va manje yon manje bon gou, ki te vannen ak pèl ak fouchèt.
The oxen and donkeys that help cultivate the earth will eat good greens and grain, spread with fork and shovel.
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.
At that time when your enemies are killed and the fortresses fall, streams of water will flow down every mountain and hill.
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.
The moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter, like having seven days light in one. This is the way it will be when the Lord bandages the injuries of his people and heals the wounds he caused them.
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.
Look how the Lord arrives from far away, burning with anger and accompanied by thick clouds of smoke! What he says shows his anger—it's like a fire that burns everything up.
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 rushes out like a flood that comes up to the neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that destroys them; he puts bridles in the mouths of the different peoples to lead them away.
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.
But you will have a song to sing like you do on the night of a holy festival. You will celebrate in happiness like those who play pipes as they go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock 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.
The Lord will shout so everyone hears him he will reveal his great power. He will hit out in his anger and fury, with a fire that burns everything up, and with torrential rain, storm, and hail.
31 Paske ak vwa SENYÈ a, Assyrie va vin etone nèt. L ap vin frape ak baton.
At the Lord's command the Assyrians will be shattered, knocked down by his scepter.
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.
Every time the Lord hits them with his rod of punishment it will be accompanied by the music of tambourines and harps as he fights them, swinging into them in battle.
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.
The place of burning has been prepared a long time ago, ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, and has plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the Lord, like a flood of burning sulfur, sets it on fire.
