Ezayi 9
1 Men nanpwen tristès ankò pou sila ki te nan gwo lapèn nan; nan tan pase yo, Li te trete peyi Zabulon ak peyi Nephthali tankou sa ki pa t gen valè; men pi lwen, Li te fè li plenn glwa, pa lòtbò rivyè Jourdain an, Galilée a pèp etranje yo.
The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 Pèp ki mache nan tenèb la va wè yon gwo limyè; sila ki rete nan peyi lonbraj lamò a, limyè va fonse briye sou yo;
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on them.
3 Ou te fè pèp la grandi anpil; Ou ogmante kè kontan yo. Yo kontan prezans Ou. Menm jan moun yo gen kè kontan an nan rekòlt la lè y ap divize piyaj la.
You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
4 Paske Ou va kraze fado ki peze sou do yo a ak baton sou zepòl yo; baton a sila ki oprime yo, tankou nan batay Madian an.
For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on the day of Midian.
5 Paske tout protej gèrye a ak bwi gwo batay, ak manto ki woule nan san va sèvi pou brile, yon lwil pou dife a.
For every boot treading in the tumult and the garments rolled in blood will be burned, fuel for the fire.
6 Paske yon pitit va ne a nou menm, yon fis va bay a nou menm; epi gouvènman an va rete sou zepòl Li. Non Li va rele Konseye Mèvèye, Bondye Pwisan an, Papa Etènèl la, Prens Lapè a.
For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; and the rule will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 P ap gen fen nan gouvènman Li an ni p ap manke gen lapè sou twòn David la ak sou wayòm li an, pou etabli li e soutni l ak jistis avèk ladwati soti nan moman sa a jis rive pou tout tan. Zèl a SENYÈ dèzame yo va akonpli sa a.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
8 SENYÈ a voye yon mesaj rive nan Jacob e li tonbe sou Israël.
The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
9 Tout pèp la va konnen sa; Éphraïm ak moun ki rete Samarie yo, k ap pale ak awogans e ak ògèy nan kè yo:
All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart,
10 “Brik yo fin tonbe, men nou va rebati ak wòch taye; bwa sikomò yo fin koupe, men nou va ranplase yo ak bwa sèd.”
“The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 Akoz sa, SENYÈ a fè leve kont yo advèsè ki sòti Retsin yo e chofe ènmi yo,
Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
12 Siryen lès yo ak Filisten lwès yo; epi yo va devore Israël ak machwè ki ouvri. Malgre sa, kòlè Li p ap detounen e men L va toujou lonje.
the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
13 Sepandan, pèp la p ap vire retounen kote Sila ki te frape yo a, ni yo pa chache SENYÈ dèzame yo.
Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
14 Konsa, SENYÈ a va koupe retire ni tèt ni ke sou Israël, ni branch palmis ak wozo nan yon sèl jou.
Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 Tèt la se ansyen ki byen respekte a e ke a se pwofèt ki ansegne manti a.
The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail.
16 Paske sila k ap gide pèp sa yo, egare yo. Epi sila ki gide pa yo ap mennen yo antre nan gwo konfizyon.
Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
17 Akoz sa, SENYÈ a pa pran plezi nan jennonm yo, ni Li pa fè pitye pou òfelen yo, ni pou vèv yo; paske yo tout se malfektè ki san Bondye e bouch yo tout ap pale nan foli. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen, e men L toujou lonje.
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
18 Paske mechanste brile tankou dife; li manje ni pikan ni raje. Menm gwo rak bwa forè, li fè pran flanm e yo woule monte kon yon gwo kolòn lafimen.
Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in a column of smoke.
19 Se gwo kòlè a SENYÈ dèzame yo ki brile peyi a, e se pèp la ki se lwil pou dife a. Nanpwen moun ki eseye sove frè l.
Through the fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No man spares his brother.
20 Yo manje sou men dwat la, men yo rete grangou; yo manje sou men goch la, men yo pa satisfè. Yo chak manje chè pwòp bra yo.
They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 Manassé devore Éphraïm, Éphraïm devore Manassé e ansanm, yo kont Juda. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen e men Li toujou lonje.
Manasseh will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
