Isaiah 50
1 Thus says Jehovah, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, with which I have put her away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities ye were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was put away.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Si m' te voye manman nou tounen lakay li, kote papye divòs mwen te ba li? Ki moun mwen te dwe lajan pou m' ta vann nou ba li tankou esklav? Se poutèt mechanste nou yo mwen te vann nou. Se poutèt peche nou yo mwen te voye manman nou tounen lakay li.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Poukisa, atò, lè mwen vin delivre nou an, pa gen pesonn ki vini jwenn mwen? Poukisa, lè m' rele nou, pesonn pa reponn? Eske se fòs mwen pa gen fòs ase pou m' delivre nou? Eske ponyèt mwen twò fèb pou m' sove nou? Se konnen nou pa konnen mwen annik louvri bouch mwen epi tout dlo lanmè cheche, tout larivyè tounen ravin chèch, tout pwason mouri paske yo pa jwenn dlo. Y'ap pouri.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Mwen kouvri syèl la ak nwaj nwa. Li tankou yon moun ki nan lapenn pou ka lanmò!
4 The lord Jehovah has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Seyè a moutre m' sa pou m' di, pou m' ka ankouraje moun ki pa kapab ankò. Chak maten li louvri zòrèy mwen, pou m' ka tande sa li pral moutre m', jan yon bon patizan fèt pou fè.
5 The lord Jehovah has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backward.
Seyè a, Bondye a, louvri lespri mwen, mwen pa kenbe tèt ak li. Mwen pa renka devan li.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting.
Mwen pare do m' bay moun k'ap bat mwen yo. Mwen lonje figi m' bay moun k'ap rache bab mwen yo. Mwen pa kache figi m' lè y'ap joure m', lè y'ap krache sou mwen.
7 For the lord Jehovah will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
Seyè a, Bondye a, ap pote m' sekou. Se poutèt sa, jouman yo pa ka fè m' anyen. Mwen sere dan m', mwen mare kè m' pou m' soufri. Mwen sèten, Bondye p'ap fè m' wont.
8 He is near who justifies me. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
Moun ki pral rann mwen jistis la pa lwen rive. Ki moun ki vle plede ak mwen? Ann konparèt ansanm devan tribinal la? Kilès ki vle rele m' lajistis? Se pou l' vin kanpe la devan m'!
9 Behold, the lord Jehovah will help me. Who is he who shall condemn me? Behold, all they shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Se Seyè a menm, Bondye a, k'ap pote m' sekou. Ki moun ki ka fè yo kondannen m'? Tout moun k'ap akize m' yo pral disparèt. Y'ap tankou yon rad vèmen ap devore.
10 Who is among you that fears Jehovah, who obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God.
Nou tout ki gen krentif pou Seyè a, nou tout k'ap koute pawòl sèvitè li a, nou wè jan chemen m'ap swiv la fè nwa san yon ti limyè ladan l'. Se pou nou met konfyans nou nan Seyè a. Apiye sou Bondye nou an!
11 Behold, all ye who kindle a fire, who gird yourselves about with firebrands, walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This ye shall have from my hand. Ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Men nou tout k'ap pouse dife, k'ap fè plan pou detwi lòt moun, se nou menm ki pral boule nan dife nou limen an, se nou menm ki pral pran nan plan n'ap fè yo. Se Seyè a menm ki pral fè sa rive nou: Nou pral tòde ak doulè nan kabann nou.
