Ezayi 31
1 Malè a sila ki desann Égypte pou sekou yo, ki depann de cheval yo, ki fè konfyans a cha yo paske yo anpil, ak nan chevalye yo paske yo tèlman fò; men yo pa gade sou Sila Ki Sen an Israël la, ni chache SENYÈ a!
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
2 Men anplis, Li saj; Li va mennen dezas; Li p ap retire pawòl Li menm; men Li va leve kont kay malfektè yo, ak kont sekou a sila ki fè mechanste yo.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.
3 Alò, Ejipsyen yo se moun. Se pa Bondye. Cheval yo se chè; se pa lespri. Pou sa, SENYÈ la va lonje men L; sila k ap bay sekou a va glise tonbe. Sila ki resevwa sekou a va tonbe, e yo tout va rive fini ansanm.
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.
4 Paske konsa SENYÈ a di mwen: “Tankou lyon oswa jenn lyon gwonde sou kò bèt l ap manje, lè yon bann bèje vin parèt la; li p ap pè vwa yo, ni li p ap deranje akoz bri yo fè. Konsa, SENYÈ dèzame yo va vin desann pou fè lagè sou Mòn Sion ak sou kolin li an.”
For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
5 Tankou zwazo k ap vole, se konsa SENYÈ a va pwoteje Jérusalem. Li va pwoteje li e delivre li. Li va pase sou sa pou sove li.
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 Retounen kote Sila ke nou te tèlman neglije a, O fis Israël yo.
Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7 Paske nan jou sa a, tout moun va jete deyò zidòl an ajan li yo ak zidòl an lò li yo, ke men plen peche nou yo te fè pou nou.
For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
8 Epi Asiryen an va tonbe pa yon nepe ki pa t pou lòm, e nepe a ki pa pou lòm va devore l. Pou sa, li p ap chape anba nepe a, e jenn mesye li yo va devni ouvriye kòve.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
9 “Wòch li va disparèt akoz panik, e prens li yo va gen gwo lakrent devan drapo a”, deklare SENYÈ a, Sila ki gen dife Li nan Sion an, ak founo nan Jérusalem nan.
And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
