Ezayi 33
1 Malè a ou menm, O ou ki detwi lòt pandan ou pa t detwi; epi sila ki fè trèt pandan lòt moun pa t aji an trèt avè w. Depi ou fin detwi, ou osi va vin detwi nèt. Depi ou fin fè trèt, lòt moun va fè trèt kont ou.
Woe to thee that layest waste, and thou [wast] not laid waste; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to lay waste, thou shalt be wasted; [and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
2 O SENYÈ, fè nou gras. Nou t ap tann Ou. Sèvi kon fòs pa nou chak maten, delivrans pa nou nan tan gwo twoub.
O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Lè bri zen an vin leve, pèp yo sove ale. Lè Ou fè leve Ou menm, nasyon yo gaye.
At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4 Piyaj pa W va ranmase tankou cheni ranmase. Tankou krikèt volan konn vòltije, se konsa y ap vòltije sou li.
And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5 SENYÈ a leve wo, paske se anwo ke Li rete. Li te ranpli Sion ak jistis ak ladwati.
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6 Se Li k ap fè tan pa nou estab, richès a delivrans, sajès ak konesans. Lakrent SENYÈ a se trezò ou.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
7 Gade byen, mesye pwisan pa yo, kriye nan lari, anbasadè lapè yo kriye fò.
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the embassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 Gran chemen yo rete vid. Moun ki vwayaje yo sispann. Li te kase akò a. Li te meprize vil yo. Li pa respekte pèsòn.
The highways lie waste, the way-faring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9 Peyi a kriye ak doulè, ak kè fennen. Liban vin wont e tanme disparèt. Saron vin tankou yon dezè e Basan ak Carmel pèdi tout fèyaj.
The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits].
10 “Koulye a, Mwen va leve”, SENYÈ a di: “Koulye a Mwen va egzalte. Koulye a Mwen va leve wo.
Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Nou te ansent pay, e nou va akouche pay. Souf Mwen va manje nou tankou dife.
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.
12 Pèp yo va brile kon lacho, tankou pikan koupe ki fin brile nan dife a.”
And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 “Nou menm ki lwen yo, koute sa ke M te fè a; epi nou menm ki toupre, rekonèt pwisans Mwen.”
Ye [that are] far off, hear what I have done; and ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might.
14 Pechè Sion yo vin sezi ak laperèz; tranbleman fin sezi enkwayan yo. Se kilès pami nou ki ka viv ak yon dife ki manje tout bagay? “Se kilès nan nou ki ka viv ak dife k ap brile tou tan an?”
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 Sila ki mache nan ladwati a e ki pale ak kè sensè a? Sila ki refize benefis lajan ki sòti nan enjistis la, e ki souke men l pou sa ki vèse anba tab pa rete nan yo; sila ki bouche zòrèy li pou l pa menm tande afè vèse san, e ki fèmen zye l pou l pa gade mal.
He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16 Li va demere nan wotè yo; pwotèj pa li va nan wòch solid ke lènmi yo pa ka pwoche. Pen li va vèse bay li, e dlo li va asire.
He shall dwell on high: his place of defense [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
17 Zye nou va wè Wa a nan tout bèlte Li. Yo va wè yon peyi ki byen lwen.
Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18 Kè ou va medite sou gwo laperèz la. “Kote sila ki te konte a? Kote sila ki te peze a? Kote sila ki te konte fò yo?”
Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?
19 Ou p ap ankò wè yon pèp fewòs, yon pèp ak langaj dwòl ke ou pa konprann, a lang bege ke pèsòn pa konprann.
Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand.
20 Gade sou Sion, gran vil a gwo fèt dezinye yo. Zye ou va wè Jérusalem, yon abitasyon san twoub, yon tant ki p ap bezwen pliye. Pikèt li p ap janm rache, ni kòd li yo p ap chire.
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.
21 Men la, SENYÈ va avèk nou nan majeste, yon kote ak rivyè ak gwo kanal, sou sila gwo kannòt ak anpil zaviwon p ap janm pase, ni gwo bato p ap janm pase la.
But there the glorious LORD [will be] to us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.
22 Paske SENYÈ a se jij nou. Se SENYÈ a ki bay lwa nou yo. Se SENYÈ a ki wa nou. Se Li menm ki va sove nou.
For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
23 Kòd vwal nou yo vin lach. Yo p at ka soutini baz ma bato a byen, ni kenbe vwal la gran ouvri. Alò, piyaj la a gwo boutin nan te divize. Sila ki bwate a te pran piyaj la.
Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 Pèp peyi a pa p di: “Mwen malad”. Moun ki rete la yo va padone pou inikite yo.
And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
