Isaiah 50
1 Thus saith Yhwh, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
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, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no 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 heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Mwen abiye syèl yo ak fènwa e kouvri yo ak twal sak.”
4 The Lord Yhwh hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear 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 Yhwh hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
SENYÈ a te ouvri zòrèy Mwen. Mwen pa t rebèl, ni Mwen pa t fè bak.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid 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 Yhwh will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know 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 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
Sila ki jistifye Mwen an toupre; se kilès ki mennen ka a kont Mwen? Kite li rale pre M.
9 Behold, the Lord Yhwh will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
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 Yhwh, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of Yhwh, and stay upon 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 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
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.
