Isaiah 54
1 Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.
“Chante, O esteril la! Ou menm ki pa t kapab fè pitit! Eklate nan yon gwo kri lajwa, e kriye fò, ou menm ki pa t gen doulè ansent lan! Paske fis fanm abandone an va depase fis a fanm ki marye yo”, SENYÈ a di.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
“Agrandi anplasman tant ou; lonje rido lakay ou, pa ralanti! Fè kòd yo pi long e fòtifye pikèt yo.
3 For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.
Paske ou va gaye toupatou, ni adwat, ni agoch. Konsa, desandan ou yo va posede nasyon yo. Yo va rete ankò nan vil abandone yo.”
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
“Pa pè, paske ou p ap vin wont. Pa santi ou imilye, paske ou p ap desi. Ou p ap sonje wont jenès ou ak repwòch tankou vèv. Sa va bliye nèt.
5 For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.
Paske mari ou se Kreyatè ou a; yo rele L SENYÈ dèzame yo. Redanmtè ou se Sila Ki Sen An Israël la. Yo rele Li Bondye a tout latè a.
6 For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and as a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.
Paske SENYÈ a te rele ou kon yon madanm abandone e atriste nan lespri, menm kon yon madanm nan jenès li lè l abandone,” di Bondye ou.
7 For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.
“Pou yon ti tan kout, Mwen te kite ou; men ak gran konpasyon, Mwen va ranmase ou.
8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
Nan anpil kòlè, Mwen te kache figi M pou yon moman, men ak lanmou dous ki p ap janm fini an, Mwen va gen konpasyon pou ou”, di SENYÈ a, Redanmtè ou a.
9 This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.
“Paske pou Mwen, sa se tankou jou Noé yo. Menm jan Mwen te sèmante ke dlo a Noé yo pa ta janm inonde latè ankò, konsa Mwen te sèmante ke Mwen p ap fache avèk ou, ni ke Mwen p ap repwoche nou.
10 For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
Paske mòn yo kapab deplase, e kolin yo ka disparèt, men lanmou dous Mwen anvè ou menm p ap retire de ou. Ni akò lapè Mwen p ap soti menm,” di SENYÈ ki gen konpasyon pou ou a.
11 O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,
O sila ki aflije a, balote pa tanpèt la e san konsolasyon an; gade byen, Mwen va monte bijou ou ak bon kòl ki fèt pou bijou bèl koulè yo, epi fondasyon ou yo va poze ak pyè safì.
12 And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.
Anplis, Mwen va fè ranpa ou ak bijou ribi, pòtay nou yo ak pyè kristal, e tout miray ou yo ak pyè presye.
13 All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Tout fis ou yo va enstwi pa SENYÈ a; pitit ou yo va gen lapè ak bonè nèt.
14 And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Nan ladwati, ou va etabli; ou va rete lwen opresyon, paske ou p ap gen lakrent. Ou p ap gen gwo laperèz, paske li p ap pwoche ou.
15 Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.
Si nenpòt moun atake ou, se pa kote M sa va sòti. Nenpòt moun ki atake ou va tonbe akoz ou menm.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.
“Gade byen, se Mwen menm ki te kreye bòs fòjewon ki pou soufle dife chabon an, e fè sòti yon zam pou travay li. Mwen te kreye destriktè a pou l ka detwi.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.
Nanpwen zam ki fòme kont ou k ap reyisi; epi tout lang ki akize ou nan jijman, ou va kondane yo. Sa se eritaj a sèvitè a SENYÈ yo. Jistis pa yo sòti de Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.
