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 the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add 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!
that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Akoz sa, sekirite Farawon va vin wont nou, e pwotèj nan lonbraj Égypte la va fè imilyasyon nou.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Paske prens pa yo se nan Tsoan e anbasadè pa yo vin parèt nan Hanès.
For his princes are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come 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 shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a 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. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them].
7 Paske sekou Égypte, se vanite san rezilta. Akoz sa, Mwen te rele li Rahab ki kanpe janm.
For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth 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 go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
9 Paske sa se yon pèp rebèl, fis manti, fis ki refize koute enstriksyon SENYÈ a;
For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
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.
which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Sòti nan wout la, vire sou kote chemen an. Pa kite nou tande menm ankò afè a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.”
get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to 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,
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;
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 this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at 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.”
And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the cistern.
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 said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye 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 ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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.
One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an 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!
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a 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 shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall 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 though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 Nenpòt lè ou vire adwat oswa agoch, zorèy nou va tande yon pawòl dèyè nou: “Sa se chemen an, mache ladann”.
and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand and when e turn 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 ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto 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 he shall give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large 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 likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
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 lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers 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.
Moreover 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 that the LORD bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth 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 far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is 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.
and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and a bridle that causeth to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples.
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.
Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into 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.
And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 Paske ak vwa SENYÈ a, Assyrie va vin etone nèt. L ap vin frape ak baton.
For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be broken in pieces, which smote with a 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 every stroke of the appointed staff, which the LORD shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with 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 a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
