Isaiah 19

Men mesaj Bondye bay sou peyi Lejip la: -Seyè a chita sou yon nwaj k'ap kouri desann bò peyi Lejip la. Zidòl Lejip yo tranble devan l'. Moun peyi Lejip yo gen kè kase.

The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

Seyè a di: M'ap fè moun peyi Lejip yo leve yonn dèyè lòt. Yo pral goumen yonn ak lòt, vwazinaj ak vwazinaj, vil ak vil, chèf ak chèf.

And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

Nou pral fè yo pèdi tèt yo, yo p'ap konn sa pou yo fè. Yo pral rele nan pye zidòl yo, yo pral kay majisyen, kay divinò ak kay moun k'ap rele mò.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

Mwen pral lage moun Lejip yo nan men yon chèf ki rèd anpil, nan men yon wa mechan ki pral gouvènen yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa!

And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Dlo larivyè Nil lan pral bese jouk l'a rive chèch nèt.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

Kannal yo pral santi, dlo kannal yo pral bese jouk yo chèch. Pye wozo ak pye jon yo pral fennen.

And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

Tout pyebwa ki pouse, tout jaden yo te plante bò larivyè Nil, depi anwo jouk nan lanbouchi, pral cheche. Van pral bwote yo ale, li p'ap kite anyen.

The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

Pechè yo pral plenn, moun ki te konn peche pwason ak zen nan larivyè a pral pran lapenn. Moun ki te konn voye privye nan larivyè a pral nan gwo chagren.

The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

Moun ki te konn fè bèl twal swa yo pral dekouraje. Sa ki te konn tise lenn yo, sa ki te konn tise bèl twal blan yo pral nan lafliksyon.

Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

Bòs k'ap fè twal yo pral nan gwo tèt chaje. Moun k'ap travay yo menm pral nan gwo lapenn.

And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

Chèf lavil Zoan yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Sa ki pi fò nan moun k'ap bay farawon an konsèy yo, se ranse y'ap ranse. Ki jan yo ka fè di wa a se pitit ansyen moun lespri ak pitit ansyen wa yo li ye?

Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

Farawon, kote moun lespri ou yo? Se pou yo ka di ou sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a gen lide fè peyi Lejip pase! Se pou yo ka fè ou konn sa!

Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

Chèf lavil Zoan ak chèf lavil Menmfis yo, se yon bann moun sòt! Yo kite moun ap twonpe yo! Yo te la pou mennen peyi Lejip sou bon chemen. Yo lage l' nan bwa.

The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

Seyè a fè tout moun nan peyi a pèdi tèt yo nèt! Sa ki rive? Peyi Lejip pèdi chemen l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, li tankou yon nonm sou k'ap glise tonbe nan sa l'ap vonmi an!

The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

Nan peyi Lejip, pesonn, rich kou pòv, gwo kou piti, pa ka fè anyen pou peyi a ankò.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

Jou sa a, gason peyi Lejip yo ap tankou fanm: yo pral tranble, kè yo pral kase lè y'a wè Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ap leve men l' pou pini yo.

In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

Peyi Jida a ap fè kè moun peyi Lejip yo sote. Chak fwa y'a nonmen non peyi Jida nan zòrèy yo, y'a pè, paske y'a chonje sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te gen lide fè yo pase.

And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

Lè sa a, y'a gen senk lavil nan peyi Lejip kote moun va pale ebre. Moun la va pran non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou fè sèman. Yonn nan lavil sa yo va rele Lavil Solèy.

In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

Lè sa a va gen yon lotèl pou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a nan peyi Lejip. Sou fwontyè peyi a, y'ap kanpe yon gwo wòch y'ap mete apa pou Seyè a.

In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

Sa va sèvi yon mak pou fè konnen Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a kanpe la nan peyi Lejip la. Lè moun va konprann pou fè yo pase tray, y'a lapriyè Seyè a mande l' sekou. Seyè a va voye yon moun pou vin delivre yo. L'a pran defans yo, l'a sove yo.

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè moun Lejip yo konnen ki moun li ye. Yo menm y'a rekonèt sa, y'a ofri bèt pou touye pou li, y'a ofri rekòt nan jaden yo ba li. Y'a fè Seyè a gwo pwomès. Lèfini, y'a kenbe pwomès yo.

And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

Seyè a gen pou l' pini moun Lejip yo. Men, l'a geri yo. Y'a tounen vin jwenn li. Seyè a va koute lè y'ap lapriyè nan pye l', l'a geri yo.

And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

Jou sa a, ap gen yon gwo wout k'ap soti peyi Lejip rive jouk nan peyi Lasiri. Moun peyi Lasiri va vwayaje al nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Lejip va vwayaje al nan peyi Lasiri. Tou de peyi yo pral sèvi Seyè a.

In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

Lè sa a, peyi Izrayèl la va sou menm pye ak peyi Lejip ansanm ak peyi Lasiri: twa nasyon sa yo va yon benediksyon pou tout moun sou latè.

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

Seyè a va beni yo, l'a di konsa: -benediksyon pou Lejip, pèp mwen an, pou Lasiri mwen te fè ak men mwen an, ak pou Izrayèl ki rele m' pa m' lan.

Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
