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 Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write thereon with a man's style, concerning 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 I took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah 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 came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said unto me, Call his 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 lad knoweth to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale ak mwen. Li te di:
And Jehovah spoke again to me, saying,
6 “Konsi moun sa yo fin rejte dlo Siloé k ap koule dous la pou rejwi nan Retsin ak fis Remalia a;
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah,
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.
therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
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 he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
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.
Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!
10 Fè yon plan, e sa ap bloke. Pale yon pawòl, e sa p ap dire. Paske Bondye avèk nou.”
Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand: 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 Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk 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.
Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.
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.
Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
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 sanctuary; and for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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 many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
16 Mare akò la. Sele lalwa pami disip mwen yo.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 Mwen va tann SENYÈ a ki kache figi Li kont kay Jacob la. Mwen va chache Li ak enpasyans.
And I will wait for Jehovah, who hideth his face from the house of Jacob; and I will look 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.
Behold, I and the children that Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth 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 shall say unto you, Seek unto the necromancers and unto the soothsayers, who chirp and who mutter, [say, ] Shall not a people seek unto their God? [Will they go] for the living unto 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.
To the law and the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, for them there is no daybreak.
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 they shall pass through it, hard pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass when they are hungry, they will fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and will gaze upward:
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 they will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they shall be driven into thick darkness.
