< Isaiah 52 >
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Leve non, mòn Siyon! Leve non! Mete kouraj ou sou ou! Mete pi bèl rad ou sou ou, ou menm Jerizalèm, lavil Bondye a! Paske moun lòt nasyon yo, ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye, p'ap janm mete pye lakay ou ankò.
2 Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Ou menm lavil Jerizalèm ki nan prizon, souke pousyè ki sou ou, leve atè a, chita sou fòtèy ou! Wete chenn yo te pase nan kou ou yo, ou menm mòn Siyon ki te nan prizon!
3 For thus says Jehovah, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a. -Yo pa t' bay lajan pou achte nou lè nou te tounen esklav. Yo p'ap bay lajan non plis pou delivre nou lè y'a lage nou.
4 For thus says Jehovah, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Men sa Seyè a, Bondye a, di: -Nan tan lontan, pèp mwen an te desann al rete nan peyi Lejip. Apre sa, Lasiri fè yo pase kont mizè yo pou anyen.
5 "Now therefore, what do I do here," says Jehovah, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says Jehovah. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
Koulye a, sa pou m' fè la a? Se Seyè a menm k'ap di sa. Yo pran pèp mwen an, yo depòte yo pou anyen. Moun k'ap kraze yo a ap pale fò, y'ap fè grandizè. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Epi tout lajounen, san rete y'ap trennen non m' nan labou.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
Men jou sa a, pèp mwen an va rekonèt se mwen menm Bondye, ki pale ak nou! Men mwen!
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
Ala bèl sa bèl lè ou wè sou mòn yo mesaje a k'ap kouri pote bon nouvèl k'ap bay kè poze a! L'ap fè konnen delivrans Bondye a. L'ap di moun Siyon yo: Se Bondye ou la k'ap gouvènen!
8 The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returns to Zion with compassion.
Faksyonnè ou yo ap rele. Y'ap rele ansanm tèlman yo kontan. Y'ap wè, se ak pwòp je yo y'a wè Seyè a k'ap tounen sou mòn Siyon an!
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Pete rele, fè fèt ansanm, nou menm vye miray mazi lavil Jerizalèm yo! Paske Seyè a bay pèp li a kouraj ankò, li delivre lavil Jerizalèm.
10 Jehovah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
Seyè a fè tout nasyon yo wè fòs kouraj li ki apa nèt la. Toupatou sou latè yo wè jan Bondye nou an ap delivre pèp li a.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of Jehovah.
Wete kò nou nan lavil Babilòn! Wete kò nou! Pati ale! Pa manyen anyen nou pa dwe manyen! Wete kò nou nan mitan lavil la. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye, nou menm k'ap pote veso ki apa pou sèvis Seyè a.
12 For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Fwa sa a, nou pa bezwen prese kouri ale. Nou p'ap fè tankou moun k'ap kouri chape poul yo. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran devan nou. Se li menm tou, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap mache dèyè pou pwoteje nou.
13 Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Seyè a di: -Men li, sèvitè m' lan va wè tout travay li ap mache byen! L'a vin grannèg. Moun va konsidere l' anpil. Y'a pote l' anlè!
14 Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Menm jan anpil moun te pran sezisman lè yo te wè l', sitèlman li te defigire, sitèlman figi l' pa t' sanble menm ak figi moun,
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
konsa tou, anpil nasyon va kontan lè y'a wè l' fwa sa a. Wa yo va rete bouch be devan li sitèlman y'a sezi. Paske y'a wè bagay moun pa t' janm rakonte yo anvan sa, y'a konprann bagay yo pa t' janm tande anvan.
