Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is vpon mee, therefore hath the Lord anoynted mee: hee hath sent mee to preache good tidings vnto the poore, to binde vp the broken hearted, to preach libertie to the captiues, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,
Lespri Bondye, Seyè a, desann sou mwen. Paske Seyè a chwazi m', li voye m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun ki nan lapenn yo, pou m' geri tout moun k'ap soufri yo, pou m' fè tout moun yo te depòte yo konnen yo delivre, pou m' fè tout prizonye yo konnen pòt prizon louvri pou yo.
2 To preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,
Li voye m' anonse lè a rive pou Seyè a vin delivre pèp li a, jou a rive pou Bondye nou an vin tire revanj pou nou. Li voye m' ankouraje tout moun ki nan lafliksyon,
3 To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion, and to giue vnto them beautie for ashes, the oyle of ioye for mourning, the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heauinesse, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
pou m' bay moun mòn Siyon ki nan lafliksyon yo kè kontan nan plas lapenn yo, kontantman nan plas kè sere yo a. M'ap mete nan bouch yo chante remèsiman nan plas chante plenyen. Yo pral grandi tankou gwo pyebwa nan jaden Seyè a te plante ak men l'. Yo tout pral fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye, pou tout moun ka fè lwanj bèl pouvwa li.
4 And they shall builde the olde waste places, and raise vp the former desolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were desolate and waste through many generations.
Yo gen pou yo rebati sou anplasman vye lavil yo. Y'a repare kay moun yo te bandonnen depi lontan. Y'a rebati lavil ki te fin kraze yo, kay ki te fin tounen mazi depi lontan yo.
5 And the strangers shall stande and feede your sheepe, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowmen and dressers of your vines.
Se moun lòt nasyon ki va pran swen mouton nou yo. Se moun vini ki va travay jaden nou yo, ki va okipe jaden rezen nou yo.
6 But ye shall be named the Priestes of the Lord, and men shall say vnto you, The ministers of our God, Ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shalbe exalted with their glorie.
Men nou menm, y'a rele nou prèt Seyè a. Wi, y'a rele nou Sèvitè Bondye nou an! N'a jwi richès lòt nasyon yo. Tout bèl bagay lakay yo, se pou nou y'a ye.
7 For your shame you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto them.
Kote yo te konn fè nou wont, se sou tèt y'a pote nou. Kote yo te konn pase nou nan rizib, y'a fè gwo fèt pou nou. N'a rete nan peyi nou, richès nou va double. N'a toujou gen kè kontan san rete.
8 For I the Lord loue iudgement and hate robberie for burnt offering, and I wil direct their worke in trueth, and will make an euerlasting couenant with them.
Seyè a di: -Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen renmen sa ki dwat, mwen pa vle wè lè moun ap vòlò, lè moun ap fè lenjistis. M'a kenbe pawòl mwen, m'a bay pèp mwen an rekonpans yo, m'a pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
9 And their seede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seede which the Lord hath blessed.
Nan tout peyi, y'a nonmen non yo. Pitit pitit yo va gen bon non nan mitan lòt pèp yo. Tout moun ki va wè yo va konnen se yon ras moun mwenmenm menm, Seyè a, mwen beni.
10 I will greatly reioyce in the Lord, and my soule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed mee with the garments of saluation, and couered me with the robe of righteousnes: hee hath decked me like a bridegrome, and as a bride tireth herselfe with her iewels.
Se pa ti kontan kè m' kontan pou sa Seyè a fè. M'ap fè fèt pou Bondye mwen an. Paske mwen tankou yon nèg k'ap marye ki fin abiye pou nòs la, tankou yon lamarye k'ap ranje bijou l' yo sou li. Li kouvri m' ak pouvwa li pou l' sove m'. Li vlope m' nan bra li pou l' delivre m'.
11 For as the earth bringeth foorth her bud, and as the garden causeth to growe that which is sowen in it: so the Lord God will cause righteousnesse to grow and praise before all the heathen.
Menm jan tè a fè ti plant yo pouse, menm jan grenn yo leve nan jaden, konsa tou, Seyè ki la pou tout tan an va delivre pèp li a. Tout nasyon va fè lwanj li toupatou.
