Isaiah 46
1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo is stooping, Their idols have been for the beast and for livestock, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
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 have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And have gone into captivity themselves.
Yo koube nèt e yo vin pwostène ansanm. Yo pa t ka delivre chaj lou a, men yo menm vin prizonye yo.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who 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] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, indeed, I carry and 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 do you liken Me, and make 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 They are pouring out gold from a bag, And they weigh silver on the beam, They hire a refiner, and he makes it a god, They fall down, indeed, they bow themselves.
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 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he stands, he does not move from his place, Indeed, one cries to him, and he does not answer, He does not save him from his adversity.
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 show yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Sonje sa e kanpe fèm kon gason; kenbe sa nan tèt nou ankò, transgresè yo.
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, 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 latter end from the beginning, And from of old that which has not been done, Saying, My counsel stands, And all My delight 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 ravenous bird from the east, The man of My counsel from a far land, Indeed, I have spoken, indeed, I bring it in, I have formed [it], indeed, I 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 Listen to Me, you mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Koute Mwen, nou menm, moun tèt di, ki lwen ladwati yo!
13 I have brought My righteousness near, It is not far off, And My salvation—it does not linger, And I have given 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.
