Isaiah 50
1 Thus sayeth the Lord, Where is that bill of your mothers diuorcement, whome I haue cast off? or who is the creditour to whome I solde you? Beholde, for your iniquities are yee solde, and because of your transgressions is your mother forsaken.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Kote sètifika divòs ak sila Mwen te voye manman ou ale a? Oswa èske Mwen te vann ou bay ou yo? Gade byen, ou te vann akoz inikite ou yo, e manman ou te voye ale akoz transgresyon ou yo.
2 Wherefore came I, and there was no man? I called, and none answered: is mine hand so shortened, that it cannot helpe? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the Sea: I make the floods desert: their fish rotteth for want of water, and dieth for thirst.
Poukisa pa t gen moun lè M te vini an? Lè M te rele a, èske pa t gen moun pou reponn? Èske men M tèlman kout pou li pa ka rachte? Oswa èske Mwen pa gen okenn pouvwa pou rachte moun? Gade byen, Mwen fè lanmè a sèk ak repwòch Mwen; Mwen fè rivyè yo vin dezè. Pwason pa yo gen move sant akoz mank dlo, e yo mouri ak swaf.
3 I clothe the heauens with darkenesse, and make a sacke their couering.
Mwen abiye syèl yo ak fènwa e kouvri yo ak twal sak.”
4 The Lord God hath giuen me a tongue of the learned, that I shoulde knowe to minister a woord in time to him that is weary: he will raise me vp in the morning: in the morning hee will waken mine eare to heare, as the learned.
Senyè a te ban Mwen lang a sa yo ki enstwi yo, pou M ka konnen jan pou bay pawòl soutyen a sila ki fatige. Li fè M leve maten apre maten, Li fè zòrèy Mwen leve pou koute kon yon disip.
5 The Lord God hath opened mine eare and I was not rebellious, neither turned I backe.
SENYÈ a te ouvri zòrèy Mwen. Mwen pa t rebèl, ni Mwen pa t fè bak.
6 I gaue my backe vnto the smiters, and my cheekes to the nippers: I hidde not my face from shame and spitting.
Mwen te bay do M a sila ki te vle frape Mwen yo, ak machwè M a sila ki t ap rache bab Mwen yo; Mwen pa t kouvri figi Mwen devan imilyasyon ak krache.
7 For the Lord God will helpe me, therefore shall I not bee confounded: therefore haue I set my face like a flint, and I knowe that I shall not be ashamed.
Paske Senyè BONDYE a va fè M sekou. Pou sa, Mwen pa t twouble menm. Pou sa, Mwen te fè figi M vin di tankou silèks. Konsa, Mwen konnen ke M p ap vin wont.
8 Hee is neere that iustifieth mee: who will contend with me? Let vs stande together: who is mine aduersarie? let him come neere to me.
Sila ki jistifye Mwen an toupre; se kilès ki mennen ka a kont Mwen? Kite li rale pre M.
9 Beholde, the Lord God will helpe me: who is he that can condemne me? loe, they shall waxe olde as a garment: the mothe shall eate them vp.
Gade byen, Senyè BONDYE a fè M sekou; se kilès ki kondane Mwen? Gade byen, yo tout va vin vye; epwize tankou yon vètman. Mit papiyon twal yo va manje yo.
10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord? let him heare the voyce of his seruant: hee that walketh in darkenesse, and hath no light, let him trust in the Name of the Lord, and staye vpon his God.
Se kilès pami nou ki krent SENYÈ a, ki obeyi vwa a sèvitè Li a, ki mache nan fènwa a e ki pa gen limyè a? Kite li mete konfyans nan non SENYÈ a e depann de Bondye li a.
11 Beholde, all you kindle a fire, and are compassed about with sparkes: walke in the light of your fire, and in the sparkes that ye haue kindled. This shall ye haue of mine hand: ye shall lye downe in sorowe.
Gade byen, nou tout ki limen yon dife, ki antoure nou ak tòch ki limen dife yo; mache nan limyè dife nou te fè a, e pami tòch yo nou te lime a. Men sa nou va jwenn nan men Mwen an: Nou va kouche pou fè lamantasyon.
