Isaiah 48
1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in 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 For they have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Paske yo rele tèt yo menm jan ak vil sen an e yo depann sou Bondye Israël la; SENYÈ dèzame se non Li.
3 I declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
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 From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
Akoz Mwen konnen ke tèt ou di, kou ou tankou ba fè, e fwontèn ou tankou bwonz;
5 And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image commanded them.
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, see the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
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 have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known 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 Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
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 I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
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 refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a 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 My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do 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 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
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 Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
Anverite, men M te etabli latè, e men dwat Mwen te louvri syèl yo. Lè M rele yo, yo kanpe ansanm.
14 Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] 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, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has 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 Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you go.
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 O that you had attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows 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 And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed 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 out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH has redeemed 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 they have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
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 peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
“Pa gen lapè pou mechan yo”, SENYÈ a di.
