Ezayi 34

1 Rapwoche, O nasyon yo pou tande! Koute, o pèp yo! Kite latè ak tout sa ki ladann tande, e lemonn ak tout sa ki ladann.

Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend, —Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom:

2 Paske gwo kòlè SENYÈ a kont tout nasyon yo e jijman Li brile kont tout lame yo. Li te detwi yo nèt. Li te donnen yo a yon gwo masak.

That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, —He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;

3 Konsa, mò yo va jete deyò. Kadav yo va fè movèz odè, e mòn yo va tranpe ak san yo.

And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend, —And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood.

4 Tout lame syèl la va vin efase. Syèl la va woule monte tankou yon woulo liv; e tout lame li yo va vin fennen nèt, tankou yon fèy ta fennen sou branch chan rezen an, oswa jan li deseche tonbe sou yon pye fig.

Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll, —Yea, all their host, shall fade—Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree.

5 Paske nepe Mwen bwe ase nan syèl la. Gade byen, li va desann pou jije Édom ak pèp ke Mwen te chwazi pou destriksyon yo.

For my sword hath been sated in the heavens, —Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice.

6 Nepe SENYÈ a plen ak san. Li kouvri ak grès, ak san jenn mouton, ak bouk yo, ak grès a ren belye. Paske SENYÈ a gen yon sakrifis nan Botsra, ak yon gwo masak nan peyi Édom.

A sword, hath Yahweh—Glutted with blood Sated with fat, —With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams, —For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter in the land of Edom;

7 Anplis, bèf mawon va desann ak yo, ak jenn towo, ak towo pwisan yo. Konsa, peyi yo va tranpe ak san, e pousyè yo va vin gra ak grès.

Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, —So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.

8 Paske SENYÈ a gen yon jou vanjans, yon ane vanjans pou koz a Sion an.

For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh, —A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.

9 Sous dlo li yo va devni goudwon e tè pousyè li kon souf. Peyi li va tounen goudwon k ap brile.

Then shall the torrents thereof be turned into pitch, And the dust thereof, into brimstone, —So shall her land become burning pitch:

10 Li p ap etenn ni lajounen, ni lannwit. Lafimen li va monte jis pou tout tan. De jenerasyon an jenerasyon, li va dezole. Okenn moun p ap pase ladann pou tout tan e pou tout tan.

Neither night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age-abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof, —From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it:

11 Men grangozye ak ti bèt atè a va vin posede li e ibou ak kònèy a va demere ladann. Li va tann sou li lign latwoublay, ak fil a plon vid la.

That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.

12 Yo va rele prens li yo a wayòm nan, menp ap gen k ap parèt. Tout prens li yo p ap anyen.

Her nobles (but none, are, there)! unto royalty, will call, —All, all her princes, shall become nought.

13 Pikan yo va pouse nan gwo fò li yo, chadwon ak gwo raje nan gwo vil ranfòse yo. L ap devni yon kote frekante pa chen mawon. Li va fè kay tribinal pou otrich la.

Then shall come up, in her palaces thorns Nettles and thistles in her fortresses, —And she shall become A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches;

14 Bèt dezè yo va fè reyinyon ak lou yo; kabrit sovaj ak gwo plim va kriye anvè parèy li. Wi, gwo bèt lannwit va vin rete la; l ap twouve pou kont li yon kote pou l ka repoze.

Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call, —Only, there, shall, the night-spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest:

15 La, koulèv pyebwa a va fè nich li pou ponn ze; li va kale yo e ranmase yo anba pwotèj li. Menm bèt malfini yo va rankontre la, yo chak ak pwòp parèy yo.

There, shall, the arrow-snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch and gather under her shadow, —Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, every one with her mate.

16 Chache nan liv SENYÈ a, epi li: Nanpwen youn nan sila yo ki p ap la; okenn p ap manke parèy yo. Paske bouch Mwen te pase lòd, e Lespri Li te ranmase yo.

Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate, —For, a mouth, hath, itself commanded, And, his spirit, hath itself gathered them:

17 Li te tire osò pou yo, e se men L ki separe bay yo selon lign mezi a. Yo va posede kote a jis pou tout tan. De jenerasyon an jenerasyon, yo va abite ladann.

Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line, —Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.
