Isaiah 46
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
Bel vin pwostène, Nebo koube nèt. Imaj pa yo kon pote sou bèt; menm sou tout kalite bèt domestik. Bagay ke nou pote yo se chaj lou; yon fado ki pèze sa yo ki fatige.
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
Yo koube nèt e yo vin pwostène ansanm. Yo pa t ka delivre chaj lou a, men yo menm vin prizonye yo.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
Koute Mwen, O lakay Jacob ak tout retay lakay Israël la; nou menm ki te pote menm depi nan nesans, ki te pote depi nan vant.
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
Jis rive nan vyeyès nou, Mwen se Li, e menm lè cheve nou blanch, Mwen va pote nou. Mwen te fè, e Mwen va pote. Mwen va pote, e Mwen va delivre.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
A kilès nou ta fè Mwen sanble, fè Mwen vin egal e konpare Mwen, konsi nou te menm bagay?
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Kèk kon vide lò ki sòti nan bous, oswa peze ajan sou balans. Anplwaye yon òfèv, e l ap fè l vin tounen yon dye. Yo pwostène— e anverite, yo adore l.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
Yo fè l monte sou zepòl pou pote l; yo pote l, mete li nan plas li, e li kanpe la. Li p ap ka deplase nan plas li. Malgre yon moun ta kriye anvè li, li p ap ka reponn; li p ap ka delivre l nan gwo pwoblèm li an.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
Sonje sa e kanpe fèm kon gason; kenbe sa nan tèt nou ankò, transgresè yo.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Sonje ansyen bagay ki pase lontan yo, paske Mwen se Bondye e nanpwen lòt. Mwen se Bondye, epi pa gen tankou Mwen,
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
ki deklare lafen depi nan kòmansman e depi tan lansyen yo, bagay ki pa t janm fèt yo. Mwen ki di w: “Volonte m va etabli e Mwen va akonpli tout bon plezi M.”
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
M ap rele yon zwazo ki manje chè soti nan lès, yon nonm volonte Mwen an, k ap soti nan yon peyi lwen. Anverite, Mwen te pale. Anverite, Mwen va fè sa rive. Mwen ki te fè plan an; Mwen k ap fè l rive.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Koute Mwen, nou menm, moun tèt di, ki lwen ladwati yo!
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
Mwen mennen ladwati Mwen vin toupre. Li pa lwen, epi sali Mwen p ap fè reta. Mwen va bay sali nan Sion e glwa Mwen a Israël.
