Isaiah 51
1 Listen to me, you who follow what is just and who seek the Lord. Pay attention to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the walls of the pit from which you have been dug.
Men sa Seyè a di: -Nou tout ki dèyè delivrans, nou tout k'ap chache Seyè a, chonje wòch kote nou soti a, chonje min kote yo wete nou an!
2 Pay attention to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you. For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and I multiplied him.
Chonje Abraram, zansèt nou an, ak Sara, manman ki fè nou an! Lè m' te rele Abraram, li pa t' gen pitit. Mwen beni l', mwen ba li anpil pitit.
3 Therefore, the Lord will console Zion, and he will console all its ruins. And he will turn her desert into a place of delights, and her wilderness into a garden of the Lord. Gladness and rejoicing will be found in her, thanksgiving and a voice of praise.
Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral gen pitye pou peyi Siyon an, pou tout moun k'ap viv nan kay kraze l' yo. M'ap fè tout dezè li yo tounen bèl jaden, tout savann li yo tounen tankou premye jaden mwen te plante Edenn lan. Se kè kontan, se fèt ase ki va gen la. Y'a chante, y'a fè mizik pou di m' mèsi.
4 Pay attention to me, my people, and listen to me, my tribes. For a law will go forth from me, and my judgment will rest as a light for the nations.
Nou menm pèp mwen, koute sa m'ap di nou: Nou menm nasyon yo, pare zòrèy nou: Se mwen menm ki bay lalwa ki la pou rann jistis, pou sa sèvi yon limyè pou tout nasyon yo.
5 My just one is near. My savior has gone forth. And my arms will judge the people. The islands will hope in me, and they will patiently wait for my arm.
Mwen p'ap mize vin sove nou. Talè konsa m'ap delivre nou. Se mwen menm ki pral gouvènen nasyon yo. Moun ki sou zile yo ap tann mwen vini, y'ap tann mwen vin delivre yo.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth below. For the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will be worn away like a garment, and its inhabitants will pass away in like manner. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will not fail.
Leve je nou gade syèl la! Voye je gade latè! Syèl la pral disparèt tankou lafimen. Latè pral fini tankou yon vye rad. Moun ki rete sou latè pral mouri tankou mouch. Men, delivrans m'ap ba yo a ap la pou tout tan. Mwen p'ap janm bezwen delivre yo ankò apre sa.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is just, my people who have my law in their heart. Do not be afraid of disgrace among men, and do not dread their blasphemies.
Nou menm ki konnen sa ki dwat, koute sa m'ap di nou. Nou menm ki kenbe lòd mwen yo nan kè nou, nou pa bezwen pè lè moun ap trennen nou nan labou, nou pa bezwen tranble lè moun ap joure nou.
8 For the worm will consume them like a garment, and the moth will devour them like wool. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will be from generation to generation.
Moun sa yo pral disparèt tankou rad sizo ap devore. Yo pral fini tankou twal ki kanni. Men delivrans m'ap ban nou an ap la pou tout tan. Pitit pitit nou yo p'ap janm nan ka pou m' delivre yo ankò.
9 Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O arm of the Lord! Rise up as in the days of antiquity, as in generations long past. Have you not struck the arrogant one and wounded the dragon?
Leve non, Seyè! Leve non! Mete kouraj ou sou ou, Seyè! Leve non, tankou nan tan lontan, jan ou te fè l' sou tan zansèt nou yo! Apa ou menm ki te fann Raab pak an pak? Apa ou menm ki te pèse gwo dragon lanmè a?
10 Have not you dried up the sea, the waters of the great abyss, and turned the depths of the sea into a road, so that the delivered could cross over it?
Se ou menm ki te cheche dlo lanmè a. Se ou menm ki te louvri yon chemen nan mitan lanmè a pou moun ou t'ap delivre yo te ka pase.
11 And now, those who have been redeemed by the Lord will return. And they will arrive in Zion, praising. And everlasting rejoicing will be upon their heads. They will take hold of gladness and rejoicing. Anguish and mourning will flee away.
Moun Seyè a delivre yo ap tounen lakay yo. Y'ap rive sou mòn Siyon an avèk chante nan bouch yo, ak yon kontantman nan tout figi yo, yon sèl kè kontan ki p'ap janm fini. P'ap gen lapenn, p'ap gen plenyen ankò. Se va kè kontan ak fèt pou tout tan.
12 It is I, I myself, who will console you. Who are you that you would be afraid of a mortal man, and of a son of man, who will wither like the grass?
Seyè a di: -Se mwen menm k'ap ban nou kouraj. Poukisa pou nou ta pè moun ki la pou mouri, moun ki gen pou pase tankou zèb nan savann?
13 And have you forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who extended the heavens, and who founded the earth? And have you been in constant dread, all day long, at the face of his fury, of the one who afflicted you and who had prepared to destroy you? Where is the fury of the oppressor now?
Gen lè ou bliye Seyè ki te fè ou la, li menm ki te louvri syèl la epi ki te poze fondasyon latè a? Poukisa tout lajounen w'ap tranble konsa devan kòlè moun k'ap peze ou yo, moun k'ap chache detwi ou yo? Kisa kòlè moun sa yo ka fè ou?
14 Advancing quickly, he will arrive to be revealed, and he will not kill unto utter destruction, nor will his bread fail.
Talè konsa, yo pral lage moun ki nan prizon yo. Yo p'ap mouri nan kacho. Y'a jwenn kont manje pou yo manje.
15 But I am the Lord, your God, who stirs up the sea, and who makes the waves swell. The Lord of hosts is my name.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye ou la. Mwen souke dlo lanmè a, mwen fè lanm lanmè yo gwonde. Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, se konsa yo rele m'!
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have protected you in the shadow of my hand, so that you might plant the heavens, and found the earth, and so that you might say to Zion, “You are my people.”
Lè m' t'ap louvri syèl la, lè m' t'ap mete fondasyon latè a, mwen te di moun Siyon yo: se pèp mwen nou ye. Mwen te mete pawòl mwen nan bouch nou. Mwen te pwoteje nou ak fòs ponyèt mwen.
17 Lift up, Lift up! Arise, O Jerusalem! You drank, from the hand of the Lord, the cup of his wrath. You drank, even to the bottom of the cup of deep sleep. And you were given to drink, all the way to the dregs.
Leve non, lavil Jerizalèm! Leve non! Souke kò ou. Leve non! Ou fin bwè gode chatiman Bondye te ba ou bwè nan kòlè li a. Ou bwè dènye degout ki te nan gode a jouk li fè tèt ou vire!
18 There is no one who can uphold her, out of all the sons whom she has conceived. And there is no one who would take her by the hand, out of all the sons whom she has raised.
Nanpwen yonn nan tout pitit li fè yo ki la pou moutre l' chemen pou l' pran. Pa gen yonn nan tout pitit li elve yo ki la pou ba l' men.
19 There are two things which have happened to you. Who will be saddened over you? There is devastation and destruction, and famine and sword. Who will console you?
De malè tonbe sou ou yonn apre lòt. Ki moun ki ka plenn sò ou? Yo ravaje peyi a, yo fini avè l'. Grangou ak lagè fin touye moun ou yo. Pa gen moun ankò ki pou ba ou kouraj.
20 Your sons have been cast out. They have slept at the head of all the roads, and they have been ensnared like a gazelle. They have been filled by the indignation of the Lord, by the rebuke of your God.
Nan tout kwen lari, moun ou yo kouche atè san konesans. Tankou bèt nan bwa, yo pran nan pèlen. Kòlè Seyè a fè yo sou. Bondye pa nan pale mete la.
21 Therefore, listen to this, O poor little ones, and you who have been inebriated, but not by wine.
Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm ki nan soufrans, koute pawòl sa yo byen, nou menm ki sou tankou si nou te bwè diven.
22 Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, and your God, who will fight on behalf of his people: Behold, I have taken the cup of deep sleep from your hand. You shall no longer drink from the bottom of the cup of my indignation.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pale. Men sa Bondye k'ap pran defans pèp li a di: -Mwen pral wete nan men nou gode mwen te ban nou bwè nan kòlè mwen an. Nou p'ap gen pou nou bwè ankò nan gode k'ap fè nou sou a.
23 And I will set it in the hand of those who have humiliated you, and who have said to your soul: “Bow down, so that we pass over.” And you placed your body on the ground, as a path for them to pass over.
Se moun ki t'ap maltrete nou yo mwen pral bay li, moun ki t'ap fè nou pase tray yo epi ki t'ap di nou: Kouche kò nou atè pou nou ka pase sou nou. Lè konsa, nou pare do nou ba yo vre atè a, yo mache sou nou, tankou sou granchemen kote moun ap pase!
