Isaiah 50
1 Thus says the LORD, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Kote sètifika divòs ak sila Mwen te voye manman ou ale a? Oswa èske Mwen te vann ou bay ou yo? Gade byen, ou te vann akoz inikite ou yo, e manman ou te voye ale akoz transgresyon ou yo.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Poukisa pa t gen moun lè M te vini an? Lè M te rele a, èske pa t gen moun pou reponn? Èske men M tèlman kout pou li pa ka rachte? Oswa èske Mwen pa gen okenn pouvwa pou rachte moun? Gade byen, Mwen fè lanmè a sèk ak repwòch Mwen; Mwen fè rivyè yo vin dezè. Pwason pa yo gen move sant akoz mank dlo, e yo mouri ak swaf.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
Mwen abiye syèl yo ak fènwa e kouvri yo ak twal sak.”
4 The LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Senyè a te ban Mwen lang a sa yo ki enstwi yo, pou M ka konnen jan pou bay pawòl soutyen a sila ki fatige. Li fè M leve maten apre maten, Li fè zòrèy Mwen leve pou koute kon yon disip.
5 The LORD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
SENYÈ a te ouvri zòrèy Mwen. Mwen pa t rebèl, ni Mwen pa t fè bak.
6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
Mwen te bay do M a sila ki te vle frape Mwen yo, ak machwè M a sila ki t ap rache bab Mwen yo; Mwen pa t kouvri figi Mwen devan imilyasyon ak krache.
7 For the LORD will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Paske Senyè BONDYE a va fè M sekou. Pou sa, Mwen pa t twouble menm. Pou sa, Mwen te fè figi M vin di tankou silèks. Konsa, Mwen konnen ke M p ap vin wont.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
Sila ki jistifye Mwen an toupre; se kilès ki mennen ka a kont Mwen? Kite li rale pre M.
9 Look, the LORD will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
Gade byen, Senyè BONDYE a fè M sekou; se kilès ki kondane Mwen? Gade byen, yo tout va vin vye; epwize tankou yon vètman. Mit papiyon twal yo va manje yo.
10 Who is among you who fears the LORD, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely on his God.
Se kilès pami nou ki krent SENYÈ a, ki obeyi vwa a sèvitè Li a, ki mache nan fènwa a e ki pa gen limyè a? Kite li mete konfyans nan non SENYÈ a e depann de Bondye li a.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Gade byen, nou tout ki limen yon dife, ki antoure nou ak tòch ki limen dife yo; mache nan limyè dife nou te fè a, e pami tòch yo nou te lime a. Men sa nou va jwenn nan men Mwen an: Nou va kouche pou fè lamantasyon.
