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.
You people of all nations, come near and listen and pay careful attention. I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
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.
Yahweh is angry with [the people of] all nations; he is (furious/very angry) with all their armies. He has decided that they must be destroyed, and he will slaughter them.
3 Konsa, mò yo va jete deyò. Kadav yo va fè movèz odè, e mòn yo va tranpe ak san yo.
Their corpses will not be buried, and [as a result] their corpses will stink, and their blood will [fill the streams that] flow down the mountains.
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.
The sky will disappear like [SIM] a scroll that is rolled up [and thrown away]. Stars will fall [from the sky] like [SIM] [withered] leaves fall from grapevines, [or] like [SIM] shriveled figs fall from fig trees.
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.
When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky, he will punish [the people of] Edom, that people-group that he has said must be destroyed/exterminated.
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.
[It is as though] Yahweh has a sword that is covered with blood and fat— the blood of lambs and goats and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed. [It is as though] Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in [the city of] Bozrah [and kill many people] in other cities in 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.
[Even] wild oxen will be killed, as well as young calves and big bulls. The ground will be soaked with blood, and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.
8 Paske SENYÈ a gen yon jou vanjans, yon ane vanjans pou koz a Sion an.
That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge for what those people did to the people of Judah.
9 Sous dlo li yo va devni goudwon e tè pousyè li kon souf. Peyi li va tounen goudwon k ap brile.
The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch/tar, and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur.
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.
Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire; the smoke will rise forever. No one will ever live in that land, and no one will [even] travel 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.
Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there. Yahweh will measure that land carefully: He will measure it to [to decide where] to cause chaos and destruction.
12 Yo va rele prens li yo a wayòm nan, menp ap gen k ap parèt. Tout prens li yo p ap anyen.
There will be no princes; the people who have authority will have no kingdom to rule.
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.
The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles. The ruins will be a place for jackals/wolves and owls to live.
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.
Animals that live in the desert and hyenas/wolves will be there, and wild goats will bleat/call to each other. There will also be creatures/animals that [roam around] at night.
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.
Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests; and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them [with their wings]. There will also be falcons/hawks there, each with its 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.
If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do [in Edom]. All of those animals and birds will be there, and each one will have a mate, because that is what Yahweh has promised, and his Spirit will cause them [all] to gather [there].
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.
He has decided what parts of the land [of Edom] each will live in, and those are the places where each bird or animal will live. Their descendants will possess those areas forever, throughout all generations.
