Isaiah 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might flow down at your presence,
Si ou te ka chire syèl la desann! Mòn yo ta annik wè ou, yo ta pran tranble.
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your 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 you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came down, the mountains flowed down at your 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 men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared for him that waits 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 You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
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 are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us 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 calls upon your name, that stirs up himself to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us, 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, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
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 very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we plead to you, we are all your 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 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Lavil yo mete apa pou ou yo rete san moun ladan yo. Mòn Siyon an tankou yon dezè. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon savann.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
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 Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?
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?
