Isaiah 16

Moun peyi Moab yo ap rete lavil Sila nan dezè a, y'ap voye yon mouton fè chèf lavil Jerizalèm lan kado sou tèt mòn Siyon an.

Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

Y'ap rete tann bò larivyè Anon an. Yo san pozisyon, yo tankou ti zwazo yo mete deyò nan nich yo.

For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

Y'ap di moun peyi Jida yo: -Ban nou ti konsèy non! Di nou sa pou nou fè! Pwoteje nou anba zèl ou, tankou yon pyebwa k'ap bay bon lonbray fre gwo midi. Se chape n'ap chache chape kò nou. Tanpri, kache nou. Pa lage nou nan men lènmi nou yo.

Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

Kite nou rete nan peyi nou an. Pwoteje nou anba moun ki soti pou fini ak nou yo. Moun ki t'ap kraze nou an p'ap la ankò. Piyay la ap fini. Moun ki t'ap pilonnen peyi a anba pye yo a ap disparèt.

Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

Gouvènman peyi Jida a pral kanpe byen kanpe. Yon chèf pral soti nan ras fanmi wa David la. Li pral moute chita sou fotèy la pou l' dirije pèp la avèk bon kè, san patipri. L'ap soti pou l' fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye. L'ap prese fè tout moun jistis.

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

Moun peyi Jida yo di: -Nou tande jan moun Moab yo se moun ki gen lògèy. Wa pa kouzen yo. Nou konnen jan yo estomake, jan yo gen gwo tanta, jan yo awogan. Men, tou sa se van. Anyen menm!

We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

Men moun Moab yo pral plenyen sò peyi Moab la. Yo tout pral kriye lè y'a chonje bon pen rezen yo konn jwenn lavil Kyerès. Yo pral plenn, y'ap pèdi tout kouraj yo.

Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kir–hareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

Gwo jaden peyi Esbon yo pral deperi. Pye rezen lavil Sibma yo ki te konn bay bon diven chèf nasyon yo te konn bwè a pral cheche. Te gen yon lè jaden rezen sa yo te rive jouk bò lavil Jazè. Yo te pouse kouvri tout dezè a. Yo te gaye kò yo toupatou rive lòt bò lanmè Mouri a.

For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

Se poutèt sa, m'ap kriye pou pye rezen Sibma yo, jan mwen te kriye pou jaden rezen Jazè yo. Dlo ap kouri nan je m' pou Esbon ak Eleale, paske moun ap rele pou bèl rezen yo te konn rekòlte la a.

Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

Nanpwen kè kontan ak fèt nan jaden nou yo! Nan jaden rezen nou yo, nanpwen chante, nanpwen koudjay ankò! Pa gen rezen pou kraze nan basen kote yo fè ji. Tout fèt kaba!

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

Se poutèt sa, m'a plenn, kè m' fè m' mal pou peyi Moab, mwen nan gwo lapenn pou lavil Kyerès.

Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir–haresh.

Moun peyi Moab yo ap touye tèt yo moute nan mòn. Yo pral nan tanp pou yo lapriyè. Men, sa p'ap sèvi yo anyen.

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

Anvan sa, men sa Seyè a te di k'ap rive lavil Moab la.

This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

Koulye a, Seyè a pale ankò. Li di konsa: Nan twazan, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, yo pral pase sa ki fè pouvwa peyi Moab la nan tenten. Atout li gen anpil moun koulye a, se de twa ase ki pral rete, yon ti ponyen tou fèb ki p'ap vo anyen!

But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.
