Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
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 stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
Yo koube nèt e yo vin pwostène ansanm. Yo pa t ka delivre chaj lou a, men yo menm vin prizonye yo.
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
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 Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
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 liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
A kilès nou ta fè Mwen sanble, fè Mwen vin egal e konpare Mwen, konsi nou te menm bagay?
6 Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
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 He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
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 stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
Sonje sa e kanpe fèm kon gason; kenbe sa nan tèt nou ankò, transgresè yo.
9 Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none 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 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
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 Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do 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 Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
Koute Mwen, nou menm, moun tèt di, ki lwen ladwati yo!
13 I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
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.
