Isaiah 33

Madichon pou lènmi nou yo! Y'ap devalize nou, pesonn pa devalize yo. Y'ap trayi nou, pesonn pa trayi yo. Men tou, lè y'a fin devalize nou, moun va devalize yo tou! Lè y'a fin trayi nou, moun va trayi yo tou!

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Seyè, pitye pou nou! Se nan ou nou mete tout espwa nou! Pwoteje nou jou apre jou! Delivre nou lè nou anba tray!

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

Lè w'ap goumen pou nou, tande lòt nasyon yo tande bri lagè a, yo kouri met deyò, yo gaye.

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

Tankou krikèt nan jaden, nou kouri lage kò nou sou tou sa yo genyen, nou ranmase tout bagay pote ale.

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

Ala pouvwa Seyè a genyen! Li donminen sou tout bagay! L'ap fè tout moun mache dwat nan lavil Jerizalèm. Pesonn p'ap fè lenjistis sou mòn Siyon an.

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

Li p'ap kite anyen rive pèp la ankò. Sa k'ap toujou sove yo, se va bon konprann ak konesans Bondye ap ba yo a. Pi gwo richès yo, se krentif y'a gen pou Seyè a.

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Vanyan gason ap rele anmwe. Moun yo te voye pou siyen lapè yo ap kriye ak gwo lapenn nan kè yo.

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

Nanpwen pesonn sou granchemen yo. Moun pa vwayaje ankò. Lènmi yo pa respekte kontra yo te siyen an, yo pa kenbe dizon yo. Y'a manke tout moun dega.

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

Peyi a nan lapenn, l'ap deperi. Nan peyi Liban, moun pa konn sa pou yo fè. Gwo rakbwa yo ap cheche. Bèl plenn peyi Sawon an tounen savann. Nan tout peyi Bazan ak peyi Kamèl, tout pyebwa ap pèdi fèy.

The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

Seyè a pale ak lòt nasyon yo, li di yo: -Koulye a, m'ap leve kanpe, m'ap fè nou wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' gen fòs kouraj.

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

N'ap fè yon bann lide nan tèt nou ki pa vo anyen. Se nou menm ankò k'ap touye tèt nou.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

M'ap boule nou tankou yo boule wòch pou fè lacho, tankou pikan chèch yo jete nan dife.

And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

Se pou tout moun, ni sa ki pre ni sa ki lwen, tande sa mwen te fè. Se pou tout moun konnen jan m' gen pouvwa.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

Nan lavil Siyon, moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo pral gen kè sere. Moun ki refize fè sa Bondye mande a pral tranble. Y'ap di: Jijman Bondye se tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule san rete. Kilès nan nou ki ka chape anba yon dife konsa?

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Moun k'ap chape, se moun k'ap mache dwat yo, moun ki pa nan bay manti, moun ki pa sèvi ak pouvwa yo pou pwofite sou lòt moun, moun ki pa asepte lajan sou kote, moun ki pa dakò ak moun k'ap fè plan pou fè mechanste, moun ki pa mele ak moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

Se moun konsa ki pral rive nan lavi. Tankou yon moun ki nan yon gwo fò byen wo, anyen p'ap rive l': l'ap toujou jwenn manje pou l' manje ak dlo pou l' bwè.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

Yon jou, n'a wè yon wa k'ap gouvènen nan mitan yon bann bèl bagay, nan yon gwo gwo peyi.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Lè sa a, n'a chonje sa ki te konn fè nou pè a. Nan kè nou, n'a mande: Kote prepoze kontribisyon yo? Kote kontwòlè mache yo? Kote moun ki t'ap mache enspekte fò yo?

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

Nou p'ap wè bann moun awogan sa yo ankò, bann moun ki soti lòt peyi, ki pale lòt lang ou pa ka menm konprann, yon lang k'ap kòche zòrèy ou.

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

Voye je ou gade lavil Siyon, kote nou fè gwo fèt nou yo! Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Yon bon kote pou moun rete san kè sote. L'ap tankou yon tant yo p'ap janm demoute, pikèt li yo p'ap janm rache, kòd li yo p'ap janm kase.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Se la Seyè a pral fè nou wè pouvwa li. M'ap rete bò gwo larivyè a ak gwo kannal dlo yo, men ankenn kannòt, ankenn batiman lènmi p'ap ka pase ladan yo.

But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

Paske, se Seyè a menm k'ap chèf nou, se li menm k'ap gouvènen nou, se li ki wa nou, se li k'ap delivre nou.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Tout kòd batiman yo p'ap sèvi yo anyen. Ma yo pèdi fòs, vwal yo pa ka louvri. Y'ap piye tou sa lènmi yo te pote sou batiman yo. Ata moun enfenm pral nan piyay la tou.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

Pesonn nan peyi a p'ap plenyen di li malad ankò. Bondye pral padonnen peche tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
