Isaiah 43
1 And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] Mine.
Men koulye a, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Kreyatè ou a, O Jacob, e Sila ki te fòme ou a, O Israël: “Pa pè, paske Mwen te rachte ou. Mwen te rele ou pa non ou. Se pa M ou ye!
2 When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
Lè w ap pase nan gwo dlo yo, Mwen va la avèk ou; epi nan rivyè yo, yo p ap debòde sou ou. Lè w ap mache nan dife a, ou p ap brile, ni flanm nan p ap brile ou.
3 For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, Sila Ki Sen en Israël la, Sovè ou a. Mwen te bay Égypte kon ranson ou Cush ak Saba nan plas ou.
4 Since you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.
Akoz ou presye nan zye M, akoz ou gen gran valè e Mwen renmen ou, Mwen va bay lòt moun nan plas ou e lòt pèp an echanj pou lavi ou.
5 Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.
Pa pè, paske Mwen avèk ou; Mwen va mennen desandan ou yo soti nan lès e ranmase ou nan lwès.
6 I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Mwen va di a nò: ‘Lage yo!’ Epi a sid: ‘Pa anpeche yo!’ Mennen fis Mwen yo soti lwen e fi Mwen yo soti nan dènye pwent latè yo—
7 Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.
tout moun ki rele pa non Mwen e ke Mwen te kreye pou glwa Mwen, ke M te fòme, menm sa ke m te fè.”
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Mennen fè parèt pèp ki avèg la, malgre yo gen zye e soud la, malgre yo gen zòrèy.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “Truth.”
Kite tout nasyon yo reyini ansanm e tout pèp yo rasanble. Kilès pami yo ki kapab deklare sa e pwoklame a nou menm bagay a tan ansyen yo? Kite yo prezante temwen pa yo pou yo ka jistifye, oswa kite yo tande e di: “Sa se vrè”.
10 You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
“Nou se temwen Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ak sèvitè ke M te chwazi; pou nou ka konnen, kwè nan Mwen e konprann ke Mwen se Li menm nan. Avan Mwen, pa t gen lòt Bondye ki te fòme e apre Mwen, p ap gen menm.
11 I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
Mwen menm, Mwen se SENYÈ a e nanpwen sovè apa de Mwen menm.
12 I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.
Se Mwen ki te deklare, sove, pwoklame e pat genyen dye etranje pami nou. Konsa, nou se temwen M”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen se Bondye.
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
Menm depi nan letènite, Mwen se Li menm e pa genyen moun ki ka delivre fè sòti nan men M; Mwen aji e se kilès ki ka ranvèse l?”
14 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Redanmtè nou an, Sila Ki Sen an Israël la; “Pou koz nou, Mwen voye kote Babylone e Mwen va mennen yo tout desann kote nou kon kaptif, menm Kaldeyen yo nan bato anndan sila yo rejwi yo.
15 I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
Mwen se SENYÈ a, Sila Ki Sen pa nou an, Kreyatè Israël la, Wa nou an.”
16 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ki fè yon wout sou lanmè a, e yon chemen nan dlo pwisan yo,
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
Ki mennen fè parèt cha avèk cheval la, lame ak mesye pwisan a (Yo va kouche ansanm e yo p ap leve ankò; yo te etenn tankou yon fisèl bouji):
18 Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
Pa kite ansyen bagay yo antre nan tèt nou, ni reflechi sou bagay ki fin pase.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
Gade byen, Mwen va fè yon bagay tounèf; koulye a, li va pete vin parèt. Èske nou p ap rekonèt li? Menm yon chemen nan dezè a Mwen va fè, ak rivyè yo nan dezè a.
20 The beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.
Bèt nan chan yo va bay glwa a Mwen menm, chen mawon nan chan yo ak otrich yo, akoz Mwen te bay dlo nan savann nan e rivyè nan dezè a pou pèp chwazi Mwen an ka bwè.
21 I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
Pèp ke M te fòme pou Mwen an va deklare lwanj Mwen.
22 And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,
Men ou pa t rele Mwen, O Jacob; men ou tevin fatige ak Mwen, O Israël.
23 You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.
Ou pa t mennen ban Mwen mouton a ofrann brile ou yo, ni ou pa t onore M ak ofrann brile ou yo, ni ou pa t onore M ak sakrifis ou yo. Mwen pa t mete gwo fado sou ou ak ofrann yo, ni fè ou fatige ak lansan.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Ou pa t mennen ban M kann dous ak lajan, ni ou pa t plen M ak grès a sakrifis ou yo. Olye de sa, ou te chaje Mwen ak peche ou yo. Ou te fatige M ak inikite ou yo.
25 I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.
Mwen menm, Mwen se Sila ki efase transgresyon ou yo, pou koz Mwen; e Mwen p ap sonje peche ou yo.
26 Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
Mete M nan memwa ou. Annou diskite ka nou ansanm. Prezante ka ou pou ou ka jistifye ak eprèv ou.
27 Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
Premye zansèt ou yo te peche, e enstriktè ou yo te trangrese kont Mwen.
28 And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Pou sa, Mwen va deklare prens a sanktyè yo pa pwòp; Mwen va fè Jacob yon malediksyon, e Israël kon yon repwòch.
