20 ¶ Sa te pase nan lanne Sagon, wa peyi Lasiri, te bay kòmandan chèf lame li a lòd pou l' te al atake lavil Asdòd nan peyi moun Filisti yo. Epi li pran l'.

Men anvan sa, Seyè a te pale ak Ezayi, pitit Amòz la. Li te di l': Wete rad sak kòlèt ki sou ou a ak sapat ki nan pye ou la. Se sa menm Ezayi te fè. Se konsa li t'ap mache toutouni pye atè nan lari.

Lanne yo te pran lavil Asdòd la, Seyè a di konsa: -Ezayi, sèvitè m' lan, te rete toutouni pye atè pandan twazan. Sa se yon siy ak yon avètisman pou sa ki pral rive peyi Lejip ak peyi Letiopi.

Wa peyi Lasiri a pral depòte tout prizonye li pral fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Letiopi. Granmoun kou timoun pral mache toutouni, pye atè ak tout dèyè yo deyò. Sa pral yon wont pou peyi Lejip.

Moun ki te konte sou peyi Letiopi ak moun ki t'ap fè lwanj peyi Lejip yo pral wont, yo pral dekouraje.

Lè jou sa a va rive, moun ki rete sou rivaj peyi Filisti a va di: Gade sa ki rive moun sa yo! Epi se sou yo nou te konte, se lakay yo nou te fè lide al chache pwoteksyon pou yo te ka sove nou anba men wa peyi Lasiri a! Koulye a, kote n'ap bay tèt pou n' chape kò nou?

21 ¶ Men mesaj Bondye bay sou plenn bò lanmè a, nan peyi Babilòn: -Tankou yon van siklòn k'ap bale dezè Negèv la, yon gwo malè pral soti nan peyi san manman yo.

Mwen fè yon vizyon, mwen wè bagay ki pou bay gwo lapenn lan. Mwen wè moun k'ap trayi, moun k'ap kraze brize! Nou menm lame peyi Elam lan, moute al atake! Nou menm sòlda peyi Medi yo, al sènen lavil li yo! Bondye pral fè moun k'ap soufri anba peyi Babilòn lan sispann plenn.

Se poutèt sa, tout zantray mwen ap bouyi! Mwen gen yon sèl doulè anba vant tankou yon fanm ki prèt pou akouche. M'ap tòde. Mwen rete vant ba: mwen pa wè anyen, mwen pa tande anyen.

Tèt mwen ap vire. M'ap tranble tèlman mwen pè. Mwen t'ap tann solèy la kouche. Men, lè aswè rive, se te pi mal.

Nan vizyon an, mwen wè yon tab byen ranje, yo louvri tapi atè pou envite yo chita. Y'ap manje, y'ap bwè. Yon moman, yo bay yon lòd: Kanpe, chèf lame yo! Pare zam nou pou defann nou!

Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Ale non! Mete yon gad veye! W'a di l' pou l' fè ou konnen tou sa la wè.

Si l' wè kavalye k'ap vini sou chwal yo, de pa de ak yon pati moun sou bourik, yon lòt pati sou chamo, se pou l' louvri je l' gade byen.

Gad la rele byen fò: -Mèt, m'ap rete kanpe la nan pòs mwen tout lajounen. Mwen p'ap deplase kote m' ye a. M'ap veye tout lannwit.

Lè sa a, yon lame kavalye parèt. Y'ap mache vini de pa de. Gad la bay nouvèl la. Li di: Lavil Babilòn tonbe! Wi, li tonbe! Tout estati zidòl yo tonbe plat atè, yo kraze!

10 Nou menm, pèp mwen an, mwen te fwote nou anba pye m' tankou moun fwote diri sou glasi. Men, koulye a m'ap fè nou konnen bon nouvèl mwen te tande a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki te fè m' konn sa.

11 ¶ Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Edon yo: -Yon moun rete peyi Seyi, l'ap rele m'. Li di m': Ey, gad! Kilè li ye? Konbe tan ankò pou nwit lan bout? Konbe tan ankò anvan solèy leve?

12 Mwen reponn: -Bajou prèt pou kase. Men apre sa, se va lannwit ankò. Si nou vle mande sa ankò, tounen vin mande.

13 ¶ Men mesaj Bondye bay pou moun peyi Arabi yo: -Nou menm moun peyi Dedan, se nan mitan raje ki nan savann Arabi a nou pral moute kan nou pase nwit!

14 Al kontre moun ki swaf dlo yo pou ba yo bwè. Moun peyi Tema yo al kontre moun k'ap kouri sove yo, yo pote manje ba yo.

15 Moun yo pran kouri pou yo chape anba nepe sòlda ki te soti pou touye yo, anba flèch ki te tou pare pou pèse yo, anba gwo danje ki te gen nan batay la.

16 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nan yon lanne, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, p'ap rete anyen nan tout bèl pouvwa peyi Keda a!

17 Ou tande jan nan peyi sa a gen anpil vanyan sòlda ki konn tire banza byen? Enben! Se de twa ase ki va rete. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki di sa.

22 ¶ Men yon mesaj pou Fon Vizyon an: -Sa k'ap pase konsa? Poukisa tout moun nan lavil la ap moute sou teras anwo kay yo pou fè fèt konsa?

Tout lavil la tèt anba. Toupatou se bri, se banbòch. Moun ki mouri nan mitan nou yo, se pa nan goumen ni nan lagè yo mouri.

Tout chèf lame nou yo vole gadjè. Anvan menm yo te voye yon flèch, yo te gen tan fè yo tout prizonye. Tout moun ki t'ap kouri met deyò yo, yo fè yo tout prizonye tou.

Se poutèt sa mwen di: Kite m' pou kont mwen pou m' ka kriye kont kriye mwen! Pa chache konsole m' pou gwo malè sèk sa a ki tonbe sou pèp mwen an!

Jounen jòdi a, se yon jou debandad, se jou yo pèdi batay la, se jou pesonn pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki fè sa rive nou. Nan Fon Vizyon an, y'ap kraze miray lavil yo met atè. Nan tout mòn yo, y'ap rele mande sekou.

Sòlda peyi Elam yo moute sou cha yo ak sou chwal yo. Banza yo ak flèch yo tou pare, y'ap vini. Lame peyi Ki a pran zam pou pare kou yo.

Cha lagè anvayi tout plenn kote nou gen pi bon venn tè jaden. Sòlda yo kanpe sou chwal yo devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.

¶ Pa gen anyen ankò pou defann moun peyi Jida yo. Lè sa a, nou kouri al chache zam nan depo zam palè wa a.

Nou te wè te gen anpil kote ki fann nan miray lavil David la. Nou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan rezèvwa anba a.

10 Nou mache konte tout kay ki nan lavil Jerizalèm. Nou kraze de twa ladan yo pou nou fè miray lavil la pi solid.

11 Nou bati yon rezèvwa nan mitan de miray pou ranmase dlo k'ap soti nan Vye Basen. Men, nou pa janm dòmi reve Bondye, li menm ki te fè lide sa a depi lontan, li menm ki lakòz tout bagay sa yo rive konsa.

12 Jou sa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te rele nou, li te mande nou pou nou kriye, pou nou plenn, pou nou koupe tout cheve nan tèt nou, pou nou mete rad sak sou nou.

13 Men, gade! Nou pito rete ap ri, n'ap fè fèt, n'ap touye bèf, n'ap touye kabrit ak mouton pou n' manje, n'ap bwè diven. N'ap plede di: Annou manje, annou bwè, paske denmen nou pral mouri.

14 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pale nan zòrèy mwen, li di m': Yo p'ap janm padonnen moun sa yo fòt yo fè la a jouk jou yo mouri. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.

15 ¶ Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di m' ankò: -Ale kay Chebna, chèf ki reskonsab kay wa a. Msye te fè fouye yon kavo sou ti mòn lan pou lè li mouri. W'a di l' pou mwen:

16 Kisa ou genyen ki pou ou isit la? Ki fanmi ou gen isit la pou ou fè fouye yon kavo pou ou nan flan ti mòn lan?

17 Ou mèt grannèg kont kò ou, Seyè a pral pase men l' pran ou, l'ap voye ou jete byen lwen.

18 L'ap plòtonnen ou, l'ap fè ou tounen yon boul, l'ap voye ou al teri nan yon pi gwo peyi. Se la l'ap voye ou al mouri nan mitan tout cha ki t'ap fè ou fè tout granpanpan sa a. Ou se yon wont pou kay mèt ou a.

19 M'ap kase ou nan plas kote ou ye a, m'ap fè ou desann soti kote ou chita a.

20 Lè sa a, m'a voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Elyakim, pitit gason Ilkija a.

21 M'a pran palto ki sou do ou la, m'a ba li l'. M'a pran senti ki pase nan ren ou lan, m'a mare ren pa l' avè l'. Pouvwa ou te genyen an, m'ap ba li l': l'ap tankou yon papa pou tout moun nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida.

22 Apre wa a, pitit pitit ki soti nan fanmi David la, se li menm k'ap sèl chèf. M'ap ba li kle pou l' reskonsab kay David la: Lè li louvri, pesonn p'ap ka fèmen. Lè li fèmen, pesonn p'ap ka louvri.

23 M'ap mete l' chita, l'ap tankou yon zegwi bwa yo fè antre byen fon nan yon poto. Li pral sèvi yon lwanj pou fanmi papa l'.

24 Men, tout fanmi l', tout ti fanmi l' yo pral tounen yon chay twò lou pou li. Yo pral pandye nan kou l' tankou gode ak bòl ki pandye nan yon zegwi bwa.

25 Lè sa a, men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Zegwi yo te fè antre byen fon nan poto a pral rache. L'ap soti, l'ap tonbe atè, epi tout chay ki sou li a pral tonbe tou. Se Seyè a ki di sa.

A Prophecy Against Egypt and Cush

20 In the year that the supreme commander,(A) sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod(B) and attacked and captured it— at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz.(C) He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth(D) from your body and the sandals(E) from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped(F) and barefoot.(G)

Then the Lord said, “Just as my servant(H) Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years,(I) as a sign(J) and portent(K) against Egypt(L) and Cush,[a](M) so the king(N) of Assyria will lead away stripped(O) and barefoot the Egyptian captives(P) and Cushite(Q) exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared(R)—to Egypt’s shame.(S) Those who trusted(T) in Cush(U) and boasted in Egypt(V) will be dismayed and put to shame.(W) In that day(X) the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened(Y) to those we relied on,(Z) those we fled to for help(AA) and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?(AB)’”

A Prophecy Against Babylon

21 A prophecy(AC) against the Desert(AD) by the Sea:

Like whirlwinds(AE) sweeping through the southland,(AF)
    an invader comes from the desert,
    from a land of terror.

A dire(AG) vision has been shown to me:
    The traitor betrays,(AH) the looter takes loot.
Elam,(AI) attack! Media,(AJ) lay siege!
    I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.

At this my body is racked with pain,(AK)
    pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;(AL)
I am staggered by what I hear,
    I am bewildered(AM) by what I see.
My heart(AN) falters,
    fear makes me tremble;(AO)
the twilight I longed for
    has become a horror(AP) to me.

They set the tables,
    they spread the rugs,
    they eat, they drink!(AQ)
Get up, you officers,
    oil the shields!(AR)

This is what the Lord says to me:

“Go, post a lookout(AS)
    and have him report what he sees.
When he sees chariots(AT)
    with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
    or riders on camels,(AU)
let him be alert,
    fully alert.”

And the lookout[b](AV) shouted,

“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
    every night I stay at my post.
Look, here comes a man in a chariot(AW)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon(AX) has fallen,(AY) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(AZ)
    lie shattered(BA) on the ground!’”

10 My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,(BB)
    I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
    from the God of Israel.

A Prophecy Against Edom

11 A prophecy against Dumah[c]:(BC)

Someone calls to me from Seir,(BD)
    “Watchman, what is left of the night?
    Watchman, what is left of the night?”
12 The watchman replies,
    “Morning is coming, but also the night.
If you would ask, then ask;
    and come back yet again.”

A Prophecy Against Arabia

13 A prophecy(BE) against Arabia:(BF)

You caravans of Dedanites,(BG)
    who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14     bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(BH)
    bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(BI) from the sword,(BJ)
    from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
    and from the heat of battle.

16 This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract(BK) would count it, all the splendor(BL) of Kedar(BM) will come to an end. 17 The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.(BN)” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.(BO)

A Prophecy About Jerusalem

22 A prophecy(BP) against the Valley(BQ) of Vision:(BR)

What troubles you now,
    that you have all gone up on the roofs,(BS)
you town so full of commotion,
    you city of tumult(BT) and revelry?(BU)
Your slain(BV) were not killed by the sword,(BW)
    nor did they die in battle.
All your leaders have fled(BX) together;
    they have been captured(BY) without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
    having fled while the enemy was still far away.
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
    let me weep(BZ) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”(CA)

The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day(CB)
    of tumult and trampling(CC) and terror(CD)
    in the Valley of Vision,(CE)
a day of battering down walls(CF)
    and of crying out to the mountains.
Elam(CG) takes up the quiver,(CH)
    with her charioteers and horses;
    Kir(CI) uncovers the shield.
Your choicest valleys(CJ) are full of chariots,
    and horsemen are posted at the city gates.(CK)

The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah,
    and you looked in that day(CL)
    to the weapons(CM) in the Palace of the Forest.(CN)
You saw that the walls of the City of David
    were broken through(CO) in many places;
you stored up water
    in the Lower Pool.(CP)
10 You counted the buildings in Jerusalem
    and tore down houses(CQ) to strengthen the wall.(CR)
11 You built a reservoir between the two walls(CS)
    for the water of the Old Pool,(CT)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
    or have regard(CU) for the One who planned(CV) it long ago.

12 The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    called you on that day(CW)
to weep(CX) and to wail,
    to tear out your hair(CY) and put on sackcloth.(CZ)
13 But see, there is joy and revelry,(DA)
    slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
    eating of meat and drinking of wine!(DB)
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
    “for tomorrow we die!”(DC)

14 The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing:(DD) “Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned(DE) for,” says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

15 This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:

“Go, say to this steward,
    to Shebna(DF) the palace(DG) administrator:(DH)
16 What are you doing here and who gave you permission
    to cut out a grave(DI) for yourself(DJ) here,
hewing your grave on the height
    and chiseling your resting place in the rock?

17 “Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of you
    and hurl(DK) you away, you mighty man.
18 He will roll you up tightly like a ball
    and throw(DL) you into a large country.
There you will die
    and there the chariots(DM) you were so proud of
    will become a disgrace to your master’s house.
19 I will depose you from your office,
    and you will be ousted(DN) from your position.(DO)

20 “In that day(DP) I will summon my servant,(DQ) Eliakim(DR) son of Hilkiah. 21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash(DS) around him and hand your authority(DT) over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah. 22 I will place on his shoulder(DU) the key(DV) to the house of David;(DW) what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.(DX) 23 I will drive him like a peg(DY) into a firm place;(DZ) he will become a seat[d] of honor(EA) for the house of his father. 24 All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars.

25 “In that day,(EB)” declares the Lord Almighty, “the peg(EC) driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The Lord has spoken.(ED)

¶ Timoun, se devwa nou tankou moun ki kwè nan Seyè a pou n' obeyi papa nou ak manman nou, paske sa se yon bagay ki dwat devan Bondye.

Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Sa se premye kòmandman ki gen yon pwomès dèyè l':

Pou nou ka viv lontan ak kè kontan sou latè.

Kanta nou menm, manman ak papa, pa aji ak timoun nou yo yon jan pou eksite yo. Men, ba yo bon levasyon, korije yo, pale ak yo dapre prensip Seyè a.

Nou menm domestik, obeyi mèt nou gen sou latè a avèk respè, avèk krentif, ak tout kè nou menm jan nou ta sèvi Kris la.

Se pa sèlman lè yo la ap gade nou pou nou aji konsa, tankou moun k'ap achte figi. Lekontrè, fè sa Bondye vle nou fè a ak tout kè nou, tankou moun k'ap sèvi Kris la.

Fè travay nou ak kè kontan, tankou si se pa pou moun nou t'ap travay, men pou Seyè a.

Paske chonje byen: kit yon moun esklav, kit li lib, li gen pou l' resevwa sa ki pou li nan men Seyè a, dapre bon travay li fè a.

Nou menm mèt, se pou n' aji menm jan an tou ak moun k'ap sèvi nou yo. Pa fè yo okenn menas. Toujou chonje ni nou menm, ni domestik nou yo, nou gen yon sèl Mèt nan syèl la, ki pa gade sou figi moun.

10 ¶ Pou fini, chache fòs nou nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm ak Seyè a ak nan gwo pouvwa li.

11 Pran mete sou nou tout kalite zam Bondye ban nou pou nou ka kenbe tèt anba riz Satan.

12 Paske, se pa ak moun nou gen pou nou goumen. Men, se ak move lespri ki nan syèl la, ak chèf, ak pouvwa, ak otorite k'ap gouvènen nan fènwa ki sou latè a.

13 Se poutèt sa, depi koulye a, pran tout zam Bondye bay yo. Konsa, lè move jou a va rive, n'a ka kenbe tèt ak lènmi an. Lè batay la va fini nèt, n'a kanpe la byen fèm nan pozisyon nou toujou.

14 Pare kò nou: mare verite a tankou yon sentiwon nan ren nou. Pwoteje nou ak jistis Bondye a tankou plak pwotèj sòlda yo mete sou lestonmak yo pou pwoteje yo.

15 Pou soulye nan pye nou, mete aktivite pou anonse bon nouvèl k'ap fè moun viv ak kè poze a.

16 Toujou pran konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a tankou yon defans ki va penmèt nou pare tout flèch Satan an ap voye tou limen sou nou.

17 Resevwa pouvwa Bondye k'ap delivre nou an tankou yon kas an fè nan tèt nou. Asepte pawòl Bondye a tankou yon nepe Sentespri a ban nou.

18 Pandan n'ap fè tou sa, pa janm bliye lapriyè. Mande Bondye konkou li. Lapriyè nan tout sikonstans avèk pouvwa Sentespri a. Se poutèt sa, pa kite dòmi pran nou, kenbe fèm nan sa n'ap fè a. Lapriyè pou tout pèp Bondye a.

19 ¶ Lapriyè pou mwen tou, pou Bondye ka mete pawòl nan bouch mwen lè m'a gen pou m' pale, pou m' ka pale avèk lasirans, pou moun ka rive konnen sekrè ki nan bon nouvèl la.

20 Nou mèt wè m' nan prizon koulye a, se Bondye ki ban m' misyon fè konnen bon nouvèl la. Lapriyè pou mwen pou m' ka pale avèk lasirans, jan m' dwe fè l' la.

21 Tichik, frè nou renmen anpil la epi ki yon bon sèvitè nan travay Seyè a, va ban nou tout nouvèl mwen, pou nou ka konnen jan zafè m' ap mache.

22 M'ap voye l' tout espre pou l' sa di nou kouman mwen ye, pou nou pa fin dekouraje, pou sa remoute kouraj nou.

23 Mwen mande Bondye, Papa a, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo bay tout frè yo kè poze, renmen ak konfyans nan Bondye.

24 benediksyon Bondye pou tout moun ki renmen Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ak yon renmen ki p'ap janm fini.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.(A) “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a](B)

Fathers,[b] do not exasperate your children;(C) instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.(D)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect(E) and fear, and with sincerity of heart,(F) just as you would obey Christ.(G) Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ,(H) doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,(I) because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do,(J) whether they are slave or free.

And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours(K) is in heaven, and there is no favoritism(L) with him.

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord(M) and in his mighty power.(N) 11 Put on the full armor of God,(O) so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,(P) but against the rulers, against the authorities,(Q) against the powers(R) of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(S) 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,(T) so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,(U) with the breastplate of righteousness in place,(V) 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.(W) 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,(X) with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.(Y) 17 Take the helmet of salvation(Z) and the sword of the Spirit,(AA) which is the word of God.(AB)

18 And pray in the Spirit(AC) on all occasions(AD) with all kinds of prayers and requests.(AE) With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying(AF) for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me,(AG) that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly(AH) make known the mystery(AI) of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador(AJ) in chains.(AK) Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Final Greetings

21 Tychicus,(AL) the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. 22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are,(AM) and that he may encourage you.(AN)

23 Peace(AO) to the brothers and sisters,[c] and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.[d]
