Esias 48
1 Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with righteousness;
“Tande sa, O lakay Jacob, ki rele pa non Israël, ki te sòti nan dlo Juda la. Nou sèmante pa non SENYÈ a, e envoke Bondye Israël la, men san verite e san ladwati.
2 maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;
Paske yo rele tèt yo menm jan ak vil sen an e yo depann sou Bondye Israël la; SENYÈ dèzame se non Li.
3 and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.
Mwen te deklare ansyen bagay lontan yo, yo te sòti nan bouch Mwen e Mwen te pwoklame yo. Sibitman Mwen te fè yo, e yo te vin rive.
4 I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.
Akoz Mwen konnen ke tèt ou di, kou ou tankou ba fè, e fwontèn ou tankou bwonz;
5 And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.
pou sa, Mwen te deklare sa a ou menm lontan sa; avan yo te rive, Mwen te pwoklame yo a Ou menm, pou ou pa ta di: ‘Se zidòl mwen an ki te fè l; imaj taye mwen ak imaj fonn mwen an ki te kòmande yo.’
6 You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,
Ou te tande sa! Gade tout sa! Konsa, ou menm, èske ou p ap deklare li? Mwen pwoklame bagay tounèf yo a ou menm soti kounye a, tout bagay kache a ke ou pa t konnen yo.
7 Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.
Se koulye a yo fèt, e pa lontan sa. Avan jou sa a, ou pa t tande yo. Konsa, ou p ap di: “Gade byen, mwen te konnen yo”.
8 You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.
Anverite, Ou pa t konn tande yo, ni ou pa t konnen yo. Menm depi lontan, zòrèy ou pa t ouvri, paske Mwen te konnen ke ou aji nan koken. Depi nan nesans ou, se rebèl ou te ye.
9 For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.
Pou koz a non Mwen, M ap fè kòlè Mwen pran ti reta; pou koz lwanj Mwen, Mwen ralanti l pou ou, pou m pa koupe retire ou nèt.
10 Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.
Gade byen, Mwen te rafine ou, men pa tankou ajan; Mwen te fè ou pase a leprèv nan founo doulè a.
11 For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.
Pou koz pa M, pou pwòp koz pa Mwen, Mwen va aji; paske kòman non Mwen ka vin pwofane konsa? Glwa Mwen, Mwen p ap ka sede l bay yon lòt.
12 Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.
Koute Mwen, O Jacob, menm Israël ke M te rele a; Mwen se Li menm nan. Mwen se premye a. E Mwen se osi dènye a.
13 My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.
Anverite, men M te etabli latè, e men dwat Mwen te louvri syèl yo. Lè M rele yo, yo kanpe ansanm.
14 And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.
Rasanble, nou tout pou koute! Se kilès pami yo ki te deklare bagay sa yo? Sila SENYÈ a renmen; li va akonpli sa li pito sou Babylone. Men L va kontra Kaldeyen yo.
15 I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.
Mwen menm, Mwen te pale. Anverite, Mwen te rele li. Mwen te mennen li, e Li va fè chemen li yo vin reyisi.
16 Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, and his Spirit, has sent me.
Vin toupre Mwen, koute sa: “Depi nan kòmansman, Mwen pa t pale an sekrè; depi tan sa te rive a, Mwen te la.” Epi koulye a Senyè BONDYE a te voye Mwen ak Lespri Li.
17 Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Redanmtè ou a, Sila Ki Sen an Israël la: “Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki enstwi ou pou ou ta byen reyisi, ki mennen ou nan chemen ke ou ta dwe ale a.
18 And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.
Si sèlman ou te okipe kòmandman Mwen yo! Konsa afè ou t ap mache byen tankou yon rivyè, e ladwati ou tankou lam lanmè yo.
19 Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.
Desandan nou yo t ap tankou sab e pitit ou yo tankou grenn sab. Non pa li pa ta janm vin disparèt ni detwi devan prezans Mwen.”
20 Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered his servant Jacob.
Ale kite Babylone! Sove ale devan Kaldeyen yo! Deklare ak son a kri lajwa, pwoklame sa. Voye li rive jis nan dènye pwent latè. Anonse li, “SENYÈ a te rachte sèvitè Li a, Jacob.”
21 And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.
Yo pa t swaf lè Li te mennen yo travèse dezè yo. Li te fè dlo sòti nan wòch pou yo; Li te fann wòch la e dlo te vin pete.
22 There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
“Pa gen lapè pou mechan yo”, SENYÈ a di.
