Isaiah 64
1 Oh, that thou wouldest breake the heauens, and come downe, and that the mountaines might melt at thy presence!
Si ou te ka chire syèl la desann! Mòn yo ta annik wè ou, yo ta pran tranble.
2 As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused the waters to boyle, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thy aduersaries) the people did tremble at thy presence.
Yo ta moute desann tankou dlo k'ap bouyi sou gwo dife bwa. Desann non pou fè lènmi ou yo konnen ki moun ou ye, pou fè tout nasyon yo tranble devan ou!
3 When thou diddest terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest downe, and the mountaines melted at thy presence.
Yon lè, ou te desann, ou te fè yon bann bagay nou pa t'ap tann, bagay ki fè moun pè: mòn yo te wè sa, yo te pran tranble.
4 For since the beginning of the world they haue not heard nor vnderstande with the eare, neither hath ye eye seene another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him.
Pesonn pa janm wè ni yo pa janm tande yon Bondye tankou ou ki ka fè tou sa pou moun ki met espwa yo nan li.
5 Thou diddest meete him, that reioyced in thee, and did iustly: they remembred thee in thy wayes: beholde, thou art angrie, for we haue sinned: yet in them is continuance, and we shall be saued.
Men, ou louvri bra ou pou ou resevwa moun ki te kontan mache dwat devan ou yo, moun ki te mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo epi ki pa janm bliye ou yo. Men, ou te move dèske nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal. Sa lakòz n'ap soufri jouk jou w'a vin delivre nou.
6 But we haue all bene as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnes is as filthie cloutes, and we all doe fade like a leafe, and our iniquities like the winde haue taken vs away.
Nou tout nou te tankou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Tou sa nou t'ap fè ki byen te tankou rad sou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Akòz peche nou yo, nou te tankou fèy chèch van ap bwote.
7 And there is none that calleth vpon thy Name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take holde of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities.
Pesonn pa lapriyè ou ankò! Pesonn pa chonje reve vin mande ou sekou. Ou vire do ban nou. Ou lage nou, ou kite peche nou yo fini ak nou.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our Father: we are the clay, and thou art our potter, and we all are the worke of thine hands.
Men, Seyè, se ou ki papa nou! Se tè krich nou ye. Se ou menm k'ap ban nou fòm. Se ou menm ki te fè nou ak men ou.
9 Be not angry, O Lord, aboue measure, neither remember iniquitie for euer: lo, we beseech thee beholde, we are all thy people.
Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache tout fache sa a ak nou ankò! Pa kenbe nou nan kè ou poutèt peche nou yo! Se pèp pa ou la menm nou te ye! Tanpri, pitye pou nou!
10 Thine holy cities lye waste: Zion is a wildernes, and Ierusalem a desart.
Lavil yo mete apa pou ou yo rete san moun ladan yo. Mòn Siyon an tankou yon dezè. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon savann.
11 The House of our Sanctuarie and of our glorie, where our fathers praysed thee, is burnt vp with fire and all our pleasant things are wasted.
Tanp nou an, bèl kay yo te mete apa pou ou a, kay kote tout zansèt nou yo t'ap fè lwanj ou a, dife fin boule sa. Tout bèl kote nou te renmen yo fin kraze.
12 Wilt thou holde thy selfe still at these things, O Lord? wilt thou holde thy peace and afflict vs aboue measure?
Seyè, tou sa pa di ou anyen? Ou p'ap fè anyen pou nou? Ou pral kite nou soufri jouk nou p'ap kapab ankò?
