Ezayi 8
1 SENYÈ a te di mwen, pran pou ou yon gwo tablo, e ekri sou li an lèt òdinè: “rele non l ‘Maher-Schalal-Chasch-Baz’” (Vit se piyaj la e rapid se viktim nan),
And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
2 Epi Mwen va pran pou Mwen temwen fidèl pou fè temwayaj, Urie, prèt la ak Zacharie, fis a Bérékia a.
And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Pou sa, mwen te pwoche pwofetès la. Li te vin ansent e li te bay nesans a yon fis. Epi SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Bay li non Maher-Schalal-Chasch-Baz.
And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
4 Paske avan tigason an konnen jan pou li kriye: ‘Papa mwen oswa manman mwen’, tout richès Damas ak piyaj Samarie yo va fin pote ale devan wa Assyrie a.”
For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale ak mwen. Li te di:
And the Lord said again to me,
6 “Konsi moun sa yo fin rejte dlo Siloé k ap koule dous la pou rejwi nan Retsin ak fis Remalia a;
Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;
7 alò, pou sa, men gade, SENYÈ a prè pou mennen sou yo dlo fò an gran kantite ki sòti nan rivyè Euphrate la, wa Assyrie ak tout glwa li. Dlo sa a va monte wo pou kite kanal li yo e vide sou tout rebò li yo.
For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:
8 Li va pase kouri nèt rive Juda. Li va debòde e pase sou li nèt jiskaske li rive menm nan kou li. Konsa, zèl ouvri li yo va ranpli lajè peyi ou a, O Emmanuel!
And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.
9 “Se pou fè bwi, o pèp yo, e vin kraze nèt! Bay zòrèy nou, tout peyi lwen yo. Mare senti nou, malgre n ap fin brize nèt! Abiye pou batay la, malgre n ap brize nèt.
Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:
10 Fè yon plan, e sa ap bloke. Pale yon pawòl, e sa p ap dire. Paske Bondye avèk nou.”
Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.
11 Paske se konsa SENYÈ a te pale mwen ak gwo pouvwa e te pase m lòd pou m pa mache nan chemen a pèp sa a, epi te di:
For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Ou pa dwe di: ‘Konplo’ de tout sa ke pèp sa a rele ‘konplo’ a. Ou pa pou pè sa ke yo menm pè a, ni etone pa li.
Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.
13 Se SENYÈ dèzame yo ke ou dwe gade kon sen. Se Li k ap vin lakrent ou. Se li k ap fè w etone.
But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.
14 Li va devni yon sanktiyè; men pou toulède kay Israël yo, L ap yon wòch pou fè nou bite, yon zatrap ak yon pèlen pou sila ki rete Jérusalem yo.
And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.
15 Se anpil moun k ap bite sou yo, yo va tonbe e yo va kraze nèt. Yo menm va pran nan pyèj e va tonbe pou yo kenbe nèt.”
And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.
16 Mare akò la. Sele lalwa pami disip mwen yo.
Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.
17 Mwen va tann SENYÈ a ki kache figi Li kont kay Jacob la. Mwen va chache Li ak enpasyans.
And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.
18 Gade byen, mwen menm ak pitit ke SENYÈ a te ban mwen yo se pou sign ak mèvèy an Israël ki sòti depi nan SENYÈ Dèzame yo, ki demere sou Mòn Sion.
See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.
19 Lè y ap di nou: “Konsilte sila ki konn pale ak mò yo ak divinò ki yo menm pale ak ti souf e bougonnen;” èske yon pèp pa ta dwe konsilte Bondye pa yo? Èske yo ta dwe konsilte mò yo pou sila ki vivan yo?
And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?
20 Vire kote lalwa ak akò la! Si yo pa pale selon pawòl sa a, se akoz ke yo pa gen granmaten k ap vini.
Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...
21 Yo va pase nan peyi a, plen gwo pwoblèm ak grangou nèt. Li va vin rive ke lè yo grangou, y ap vin anraje e modi wa yo ak Bondye pandan y ap gade anlè.
And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;
22 Epi konsa, y ap gade vè latè, gade byen, gwo twoub ak fènwa, dezolasyon ak gwo lapèn. Konsa, yo va chase ale nan tenèb.
And he will be looking down on the earth, and there will be trouble and dark clouds, black night where there is no seeing.
