Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to announce liberation to the captives, to set the prisoners free,
Lespri Senyè BONDYE a sou mwen, akoz SENYÈ a te onksyone mwen pou pote bòn nouvèl a moun aflije yo. Li te voye mwen pou bay soutyen a sila ak kè brize yo, pou pwoklame libète a kaptif yo e delivrans a prizonye yo;
2 to declare the year of the Lord's grace and the day of our God's punishment, to comfort those who mourn.
pou pwoklame lane gras SENYÈ a e jou a vanjans Bondye nou an; pou konsole tout moun ak kè ki tris,
3 The Lord will give to everyone who mourns in Zion a crown instead of ashes on their head, the oil of happiness instead of mourning, clothes of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of integrity, planted by the Lord to reveal his glory.
pou fè pwovizyon pou sila ak kè tris Sion yo; pou bay yo yon bèl kouwòn pou ranplase sann yo, ak lwil kè kontan pou ranplase tristès la, ak abiman lwanj pou ranplase lespri kraze a. Konsa, yo va rele pye chenn ladwati, yon plantasyon SENYÈ a, pou Li kapab resevwa glwa.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins; they will restore places abandoned long ago; they will restore towns that were destroyed, places left desolate for generation after generation.
Yo va rebati ansyen mazi yo, yo va fè leve wo sa ki te kraze depi lontan yo. Yo va repare vil ki te detwi yo, dezolasyon de anpil jenerasyon yo.
5 Foreigners will shepherd your flocks, and take care of your fields, and look after your vineyards.
Etranje yo va kanpe pou okipe bann mouton nou yo, e pitit a etranje yo va kiltivatè tè nou, ak chan rezen nou yo.
6 You will be called priests of the Lord, identified as ministers of our God. You will enjoy the wealth of nations and be proud that you have it.
Men nou va rele kon prèt SENYÈ a; Lèzòm va rele nou sèvitè yo a Bondye nou an. Nou va manje richès a nasyon yo, e nan richès pa yo, nou va vante tèt nou.
7 Instead of shame you will receive a double blessing; instead of insults, you will be happy to have a double amount of land given to you, and your joy will last forever.
Olye de wont nou, nou va gen yon pòsyon doub; olye de imilyasyon, yo va rele ak lajwa sou pòsyon pa yo. Akoz sa, yo va posede yon pòsyon doub nan peyi yo; lajwa etènèl la va pou yo.
8 I, the Lord, love what is right. I hate robbery and injustice. I will faithfully reward my people and make an everlasting agreement with them.
Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, renmen lajistis; Mwen rayi vòl ak malfezans. Ak fidelite Mwen va bay yo rekonpans yo, e Mwen va fè yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk yo.
9 Their descendants will be acknowledged among the nations, and their children among the peoples. Everyone who sees them will agree that they are people that the Lord has blessed.
Desandan pa yo va rekonèt pami nasyon yo, e posterite yo nan mitan a tout pèp yo. Tout moun ki wè yo va rekonèt yo, akoz yo se desandan ke SENYÈ a te beni yo.
10 I will happily celebrate in the Lord! My whole being will shout praises to my God. For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation, and has wrapped around me in a robe of goodness. I am like a bridegroom dressed for the wedding, like a bride wearing her jewels.
Mwen va rejwi anpil nan SENYÈ a; nanm mwen va rejwi anpil nan Bondyè mwen an, paske Li te abiye mwen ak vètman sali yo. Li te vlope m nan yon manto ladwati, tankou yon jennonm fenk marye dekore kò l ak yon kouwòn; e tankou yon jenn fi maryaj abiye kò l ak bijou.
11 Just as the earth sends up shoots, and plants grow in a garden, so the Lord makes goodness and praise grow before all nations.
Paske jan tè a fè boujon li vin parèt la, jaden an fè bagay ki simen ladann yo vin pete grandi, konsa Senyè BONDYE a va fè ladwati ak lwanj pete grandi devan tout nasyon yo.
