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 thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
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 faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
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 to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
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 know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale ak mwen. Li te di:
And the Lord spoke to me again, 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 hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
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 upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow 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 shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
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.
Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
10 Fè yon plan, e sa ap bloke. Pale yon pawòl, e sa p ap dire. Paske Bondye avèk nou.”
Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because 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 thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not 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.
Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
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.
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: 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 shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin 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 very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be 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 the Lord, who hath hid 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 my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
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 to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of 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 rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
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 by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
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 shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
