Ezayi 36
1 Alò, nan katòzyèm ane a Wa Ézéchias la, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont tout vil ranfòse Juda yo e te sezi yo.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 Konsa, wa Assyrie a te voye Rabschaké sòti Lakis nan Jérusalem vè wa Ézéchias avèk yon gwo lame. Li te kanpe kote kanal la sou gran chemen a ki rele Chan Foule a.
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem against king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay wa a, Schebna, grefye a ak Joach, fis a Asaph la, grefye achiv la, te sòti vin kote l.
Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4 Rabschaké te di yo: “Pale koulye a a Ézéchias; ‘Se konsa gran wa a, wa Assyrie a pale: “Ki konfyans sa ou genyen an?
And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this in which thou trustest?
5 Mwen di ou ke Konsèy nou ak fòs pou fè lagè nou pa plis pase pawòl vid. Alò, de kilès nou va depann lè nou fè rebelyon kont mwen an?
I say, [sayest thou] (but [they are but] vain words) [I have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6 Gade byen, ou depann de baton a wozo kraze sila a. Égypte menm. Men si yon nonm apiye kote li, baton li an ap antre nan men l e frennen l nèt. Se konsa Farawon, wa Égypte la ye pou tout sila ki depann de li yo.
Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which if a man lean, it will enter his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7 Men si ou di m: ‘Nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an’, èske se pa wo plas ak lotèl a Li menm yo ke Ézéchias te retire e te di Juda ak Jérusalem: ‘Ou va adore isit la devan lotèl sila a’?
But if thou shalt say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is it] not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 Alò, pou rezon sa a, vin fè yon antant ak mèt mwen an, wa Assyrie a, e mwen va bannou de-mil cheval, si nou ka jwenn chevalye kont pou mete sou yo.
Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst on thy part set riders upon them.
9 Kijan, alò, nou ka refize menm youn nan pi piti ofisye a mèt mwen yo pou depann de Égypte pou cha ak chevalye?
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Èske konsa, mwen te monte san pèmisyon SENYÈ a, kont peyi sa a pou detwi l? SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ale monte kont peyi sa a pou detwi l.”’”
And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11 Epi Éliakim, Schebna ak Joach te di a Rabschaké: “Alò, pale ak sèvitè ou yo an Arameyen, paske nou konprann li. Pa pale ak nou an Jideyen nan zòrèy a moun ki sou miray yo.”
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Jew's language, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
12 Men Rabschaké te di: “Èske mèt mwen an te voye m sèlman a mèt nou ak nou menm pou pale pawòl sa yo, e pa a moun sila yo ki chita sou miray la, ki va oblije manje pwòp poupou yo e bwè dlo pipi yo ansanm avèk nou?”
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may devour their vilest excretions with you?
13 Konsa Rabschaké te kanpe e te kriye ak yon gwo vwa an Jideyen. Li te di: “Tande pawòl a gran wa a, wa Assyrie a.
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jew's language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Konsa pale wa a: ‘Pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, paske li p ap ka delivre nou!
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Ni pa kite Ézéchias fè nou mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, oswa di nou: “Anverite SENYÈ a va delivre nou, vil sa a p ap bay nan men a wa Assyrie a.”’
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, the LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Pa koute Ézéchias, paske konsa pale wa Assyrie a: ‘Fè lapè ak mwen, vin jwenn mwen, chak moun va manje nan pwòp chan rezen pa li, chak moun nan pwòp pye fig pa li, e chak moun va bwè dlo nan pwòp sitèn pa li,
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
17 jiskaske m vin mennen nou ale nan yon peyi tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi ak anpil sereyal ak diven nèf, yon peyi ak pen ak chan rezen.
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Veye pou Ézéchias pa egare nou e di nou: “SENYÈ a va delivre nou”. Èske youn nan dye a nasyon yo te delivre tè li a anba men a wa Assyrie la?
[Beware] lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Kote dye a Hamath ak Arpad yo? Kote dye a Sepharvaïm yo? Epi kilè yo te delivre Samarie nan men m?”
Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Se kilès pami tout dye peyi sila yo ki te delivre peyi pa yo nan men m, pou SENYÈ a ta delivre Jérusalem nan soti men m?’”
Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 Men yo te pe la e pa t di l yon mo, paske lòd a wa a se te: “Pa reponn li”.
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22 Epi Éliakim, fis a Hilkija a, ki te chèf sou kay la, Schebna, sekretè a ak Joach, fis a Asaph, achivist la, te rive kote Ézéchias ak rad yo chire, e te di li pawòl a Rabschaké yo.
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
