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),
Adonai said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For 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 will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah [My light Yah] the priest, and Zechariah [Remembered by Yah] 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.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Adonai said to 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 child knows how to say, ‘My father,’ and, ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus [Bucket of blood] and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria [Level plain].”
5 Ankò SENYÈ a te pale ak mwen. Li te di:
Adonai spoke to me yet again, saying,
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 have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in 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.
now therefore, behold, 'Adonay [Lord] brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria [Level plain] and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its 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!
It will sweep onward into Judah [Praised]. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, 'Immanu El [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.
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
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 will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will 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 Adonai spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and 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.
“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
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.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must 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.
He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel [God prevails], he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem [City of peace].
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.”
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Mare akò la. Sele lalwa pami disip mwen yo.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the Torah ·Teaching· among my disciples.
17 Mwen va tann SENYÈ a ki kache figi Li kont kay Jacob la. Mwen va chache Li ak enpasyans.
I will wait for Adonai, who hides his face from the house of Jacob [Supplanter], and I will trust in 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 whom Adonai has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel [God prevails] from Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], who dwells in Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
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?
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:” should not a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
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.
Turn to the Torah ·Teaching· and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
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.
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces 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 look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
