< Isaiah 46 >
1 Bel is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.
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 are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.
Yo koube nèt e yo vin pwostène ansanm. Yo pa t ka delivre chaj lou a, men yo menm vin prizonye yo.
3 Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the birth.
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 Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer 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 will ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?
A kilès nou ta fè Mwen sanble, fè Mwen vin egal e konpare Mwen, konsi nou te menm bagay?
6 They draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.
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 beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his 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 ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.
Sonje sa e kanpe fèm kon gason; kenbe sa nan tèt nou ankò, transgresè yo.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing 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 Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.
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 birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.
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 Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.
Koute Mwen, nou menm, moun tèt di, ki lwen ladwati yo!
13 I bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto 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.
