Isaiah 54
1 "Sing, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," says YHWH.
“Chante, O esteril la! Ou menm ki pa t kapab fè pitit! Eklate nan yon gwo kri lajwa, e kriye fò, ou menm ki pa t gen doulè ansent lan! Paske fis fanm abandone an va depase fis a fanm ki marye yo”, SENYÈ a di.
2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
“Agrandi anplasman tant ou; lonje rido lakay ou, pa ralanti! Fè kòd yo pi long e fòtifye pikèt yo.
3 For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Paske ou va gaye toupatou, ni adwat, ni agoch. Konsa, desandan ou yo va posede nasyon yo. Yo va rete ankò nan vil abandone yo.”
4 "Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
“Pa pè, paske ou p ap vin wont. Pa santi ou imilye, paske ou p ap desi. Ou p ap sonje wont jenès ou ak repwòch tankou vèv. Sa va bliye nèt.
5 For your husband is your Creator; YHWH of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Paske mari ou se Kreyatè ou a; yo rele L SENYÈ dèzame yo. Redanmtè ou se Sila Ki Sen An Israël la. Yo rele Li Bondye a tout latè a.
6 For YHWH has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
Paske SENYÈ a te rele ou kon yon madanm abandone e atriste nan lespri, menm kon yon madanm nan jenès li lè l abandone,” di Bondye ou.
7 "For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
“Pou yon ti tan kout, Mwen te kite ou; men ak gran konpasyon, Mwen va ranmase ou.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you," says YHWH your Redeemer.
Nan anpil kòlè, Mwen te kache figi M pou yon moman, men ak lanmou dous ki p ap janm fini an, Mwen va gen konpasyon pou ou”, di SENYÈ a, Redanmtè ou a.
9 "For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
“Paske pou Mwen, sa se tankou jou Noé yo. Menm jan Mwen te sèmante ke dlo a Noé yo pa ta janm inonde latè ankò, konsa Mwen te sèmante ke Mwen p ap fache avèk ou, ni ke Mwen p ap repwoche nou.
10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says YHWH who has mercy on you.
Paske mòn yo kapab deplase, e kolin yo ka disparèt, men lanmou dous Mwen anvè ou menm p ap retire de ou. Ni akò lapè Mwen p ap soti menm,” di SENYÈ ki gen konpasyon pou ou a.
11 "You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
O sila ki aflije a, balote pa tanpèt la e san konsolasyon an; gade byen, Mwen va monte bijou ou ak bon kòl ki fèt pou bijou bèl koulè yo, epi fondasyon ou yo va poze ak pyè safì.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
Anplis, Mwen va fè ranpa ou ak bijou ribi, pòtay nou yo ak pyè kristal, e tout miray ou yo ak pyè presye.
13 And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall be the peace of your children.
Tout fis ou yo va enstwi pa SENYÈ a; pitit ou yo va gen lapè ak bonè nèt.
14 In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Nan ladwati, ou va etabli; ou va rete lwen opresyon, paske ou p ap gen lakrent. Ou p ap gen gwo laperèz, paske li p ap pwoche ou.
15 Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you.
Si nenpòt moun atake ou, se pa kote M sa va sòti. Nenpòt moun ki atake ou va tonbe akoz ou menm.
16 "Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
“Gade byen, se Mwen menm ki te kreye bòs fòjewon ki pou soufle dife chabon an, e fè sòti yon zam pou travay li. Mwen te kreye destriktè a pou l ka detwi.
17 No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of YHWH, and their righteousness which is of me," says YHWH.
Nanpwen zam ki fòme kont ou k ap reyisi; epi tout lang ki akize ou nan jijman, ou va kondane yo. Sa se eritaj a sèvitè a SENYÈ yo. Jistis pa yo sòti de Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.
