Isaiah 45
1 This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a a Cyrus, onksyone Li a, ke M te pran pa men dwat la, pou soumèt nasyon yo devan l e pou lache senti a wa yo, pou ouvri pòt devan l pou pòtay yo pa fèmen:
2 I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
“Mwen va ale devan ou pou fè move kote yo vin swa. Mwen va kraze pòt an bwonz yo e fin koupe nèt ba an fè li yo.
3 I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Mwen va bay ou trezò lannwit yo ak richès k ap kache kote sekrè yo, pou ou ka konnen ke se Mwen, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki rele ou pa non ou.
4 I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
Pou koz sèvitè Mwen an, Jacob ak Israël, sila ke M te chwazi a, Mwen te, anplis, rele ou pa non ou. Mwen te bay ou yon tit k ap respekte, malgre ou pa t rekonèt Mwen.
5 I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
Mwen se SENYÈ a e pa gen lòt. Apa de Mwen menm, pa gen Bondye. Mwen va fòtifye ou, malgre ou pa t rekonèt Mwen;
6 so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
ke lèzòm ka konnen depi solèy leve jiskaske solèy kouche, ke nanpwen lòt sof ke Mwen menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a e nanpwen lòt;
7 I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
Sila ki te fòme limyè a ak fènwa a, ki fè bonè e ki kreye malè. Mwen se SENYÈ a, ki fè tout sila yo.
8 Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
Degoute depi anwo, O syèl yo, e kite nwaj yo vide fè ladwati desann. Kite latè ouvri nèt pou sali a ka donnen fwi, pou fè ladwati vòltije monte avè l. Mwen, SENYÈ a te kreye l.
9 What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
Malè a sila ki goumen ak Kreyatè li a— yon veso fèt ak tè pami veso latè yo! Èske ajil va di a bòs kanari a: ‘Se kisa w ap fè la a?’ Oswa bagay w ap fè a, ta di: “Li pa gen men’?
10 How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
Malè a sila ki di a yon papa: ‘Ki kalite bagay ou te fè la?’ Oswa a yon fanm: ‘A kilès w ap bay nesans lan?’”
11 This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Sila Ki Sen An Israël ak Kreyatè li a: “Mande M de bagay k ap vini a konsènan fis Mwen yo e ou kòmande Mwen menm selon zèv men M yo!
12 I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
Se Mwen ki te fè latè e te kreye lòm sou li. Mwen te lonje ouvri syèl yo ak men M e mete tout lame selès pa yo an lòd.
13 Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
Mwen te fè leve nan li ladwati e Mwen va fè wout li yo swa. Li va bati vil Mwen, e va kite egzile Mwen yo vin libere, pa pou pèyman oswa rekonpans,” pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
14 This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Prodwi a Égypte yo ak machandiz a Ethiopie a ak Sabeyen yo, mesye a gran tay yo, va vin travèse kote ou. Yo va pou ou. Yo va mache dèyè w. Yo va vini ak chenn sou yo, e va bese devan ou; yo va fè siplikasyon a ou menm. ‘Anverite Bondye pami nou; e pa gen lòt. Nanpwen lòt Bondye’”
15 Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
Anverite, Ou se yon Dye ki kache tèt Li, O Bondye Israël la, Sovè a!
16 Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
Yo va desi, imilye menm, yo tout. Sa yo ki fabrike zidòl yo va sòti ansanm ak gwo wont.
17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
Israël va sove pa SENYÈ a, ak yon sali ki pou tout tan. Ou p ap vin wont, ni imilye jiska letènite.
18 For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
Paske SENYÈ a ki te kreye syèl la ak tè a, Dye la ki te fòme tè a e ki te fè l la; Ki te etabli li, e Li pa t kreye li vid, men te fòme l pou moun ka viv ladann di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a. Nanpwen lòt.
19 I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
Mwen pa t pale an sekrè, nan yon peyi fènwa. Mwen pa t di a desandan Jacob yo, ‘Chache M anven.’ Mwen, SENYÈ a, pale ladwati. Mwen deklare sa ki dwat.”
20 Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
“Rasanble nou e vini. Rapwoche nou ansanm, nou menm, refijye a nasyon yo. Lòt yo pa gen konesans; sila ki pote zidòl an bwa yo toupatou, e ki priye a yon dye ki p ap ka sove yo.
21 Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
Deklare e prezante ka nou an. Anverite, kite yo fè konsiltasyon ansanm. Se kilès ki te anonse sa depi nan tan ansyen yo, ki te deklare sa depi lontan? Èske se pa Mwen, SENYÈ a? Epi nanpwen lòt Dye sof ke Mwen, yon Dye ladwati e yon Sovè. Nanpwen lòt sof ke Mwen.
22 Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
“Vire kote Mwen pou vin sove, tout pwent latè yo; paske Mwen se Bondye e pa gen lòt.
23 I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
Mwen te sèmante pa Mwen menm, pawòl la te fin sòti nan bouch Mwen nan ladwati e li p ap vire fè bak; ke a Mwen menm, tout jenou va koube e tout lang va sèmante fidelite.
24 They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
Yo va di de Mwen: ‘Se sèlman nan SENYÈ a ki gen ladwati ak pwisans.’” Lèzòm va vin kote Li e tout moun ki te fè laràj kont Li va vin wont nèt.
25 But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
Nan SENYÈ a, tout desandan Israël yo va vin jistifye e va rejwi!
