Ezayi 32
1 Gade byen, yon wa va renye ak ladwati e prens yo va renye ak jistis.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 Yon nonm va tankou yon abri kont van ak yon pwotèj kont tanpèt, tankou sous dlo nan yon peyi sèch, tankou lonbraj a yon gwo wòch nan yon peyi ki deseche.
And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
3 Alò, zye a sila ki wè yo, p ap vin avegle; zòrèy a sila ki tande yo, va koute.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken;
4 Kè a sila ki aji san reflechi a va konprann verite, e lang lan a sila ki bege a va pale klè.
and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Li p ap rive ankò ke yo rele moun fou, prens; ni rele vakabon, moun bon kè.
The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:
6 Paske moun fou a pale foli, e kè li apiye vè mechanste: pou fè sa ki kont Bondye e pale mal kont SENYÈ a, pou kenbe moun grangou a san satisfè, e pou anpeche moun swaf la bwè.
for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Pou vakabon an, zam li se mechanste. Li fòme plan mechan pou detwi moun aflije a ak kout lang, malgre sila ki nan bezwen an pale sa ki bon.
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 Men sila ki prens toujou fòme plan ki bèl; epi pa bèl plan an, ap kanpe.
But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.
9 Leve ou menm, O fanm ki alèz e tande vwa mwen! Prete zòrèy a pawòl mwen, fi ki alèz, san pwoblèm yo.
Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.
10 Nan yon ane ak kèk jou, nou va twouble, O fi ki san pridans yo; paske, afè fwi diven an va fini, ni rekòlt la p ap rive.
In a year and [some] days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
11 Tranble, fanm alèz yo; twouble, nou menm ki san pridans! Retire rad nou, dezabiye nou e mete twal sak nan senti nou.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins!
12 Bat lestomak nou pou bèl chan jaden yo, pou chan ki plen ak fwi rezen yo.
They shall smite on the breasts [in lamentation] for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards.
13 Anplispou peyi a pèp mwen an, kote pikan ak raje va pouse monte; wi pou tout kay plen ak jwa yo ak gran vil kè kontan yo.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14 Paske palè a vin vid, e gran vil plen moun yo vin abandone. Kolin ak fò ki wo yo vin tounen kav yo jis pou tout tan, yon plezi pou bourik mawon, yon patiraj pou bann mouton yo;
For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15 jiskaske Lespri a vide sou nou soti anwo, epi savann nan vin fè yon chan fètil, e chan fètil la va vin konsidere kon yon forè.
until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Nan lè sa a lajistis va demere nan dezè a e ladwati nan chan fètil la.
And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field.
17 Epi zèv ladwati a va lapè, e sèvis ladwati a va kalm ak konfyans k ap dire jis pou tout tan.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
18 Nan lè sa a, pèp mwen an va viv nan yon abitasyon lapè, ak sekirite ki san twoub nan plas repo san pwoblèm.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
19 Malgre lagrèl tonbe kraze forè a, e gran vil la va vin devaste nèt.
And it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 A la beni nou va beni, nou menm ki simen akote tout dlo yo, ki lage pye bèf ak bourik la.
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
