Ezayi 32
1 Gade byen, yon wa va renye ak ladwati e prens yo va renye ak jistis.
Look, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
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.
A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 Alò, zye a sila ki wè yo, p ap vin avegle; zòrèy a sila ki tande yo, va koute.
The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Kè a sila ki aji san reflechi a va konprann verite, e lang lan a sila ki bege a va pale klè.
The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 Li p ap rive ankò ke yo rele moun fou, prens; ni rele vakabon, moun bon kè.
And they will no longer call a fool noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
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 fool will speak folly, and his heart plans iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against the LORD, 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 ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8 Men sila ki prens toujou fòme plan ki bèl; epi pa bèl plan an, ap kanpe.
But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
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, you women who are at ease. Hear my voice. You careless daughters, give ear to 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.
For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't 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, you women who are at ease. Be troubled, you careless ones. Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12 Bat lestomak nou pou bèl chan jaden yo, pou chan ki plen ak fwi rezen yo.
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
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.
Thorns and briars will come up on my people's land; yes, on 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 will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, 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 is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16 Nan lè sa a lajistis va demere nan dezè a e ladwati nan chan fètil la.
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain 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.
The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 Nan lè sa a, pèp mwen an va viv nan yon abitasyon lapè, ak sekirite ki san twoub nan plas repo san pwoblèm.
My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 Malgre lagrèl tonbe kraze forè a, e gran vil la va vin devaste nèt.
And it will hail when the forest comes down, and the wood is brought low in humiliation.
20 A la beni nou va beni, nou menm ki simen akote tout dlo yo, ki lage pye bèf ak bourik la.
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who set free the foot of the ox and the donkey.
