< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Jan m' renmen mòn Siyon sa a! Se pou m' pale. Jan m' renmen lavil Jerizalèm sa a, mwen p'ap pran kanpo, jouk delivrans li va parèt tankou limyè solèy k'ap leve, tankou flanbo k'ap klere nan fènwa.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
Jerizalèm, tout nasyon yo va wè delivrans ou. Tout wa yo pral wè pouvwa ou. Y'a ba ou yon lòt non, non Seyè a menm va chwazi pou ou a.
3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
W'a tankou yon bèl kouwòn nan men Seyè a, tankou yon bèl foula nan men Bondye ou la.
4 And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married.
Yo p'ap rele ou ti mepriz ankò. Yo p'ap konsidere peyi ou la tankou yon madanm mari l' kite l'. Y'a rele ou Kè kontan pou Bondye. Y'a rele peyi ou la Bèl madan marye. Paske ou fè Seyè a plezi, l'ap tankou yon mari pou peyi ou la.
5 For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
Menm jan yon jenn gason marye ak yon jenn fi, Seyè a pral marye avè ou. Menm jan yon nonm marye kontan madanm li, Bondye ou la pral kontan ou
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on YHWH, take no rest,
Jerizalèm, mwen mete gad ap fè pòs sou miray ou yo. Lajounen kou lannwit, se pou yo pale. Se pou yo fè Seyè a chonje pwomès li te fè ou yo, pou li pa janm bliye ou.
7 and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Se pou yo kenbe l' kout jouk l'a fè lavil Jerizalèm kanpe ankò, pou toupatou sou latè y'a fè lwanj pou li.
8 YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
Seyè a fè sèman, l'ap kenbe l' avèk fòs ponyèt li. -Mwen p'ap lage farin ble nou an nan men lènmi nou yo pou yo manje l'. Mwen p'ap kite moun lòt nasyon yo bwè diven nou te fatige kò nou fè ak kouraj nou.
9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
Men, nou menm ki te ranmase rekòt grenn yo, se nou ki va manje yo, lèfini n'a fè lwanj Seyè a. Se nou menm ki va bwè diven nan lakou kay ki apa pou Bondye a.
10 Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, pase nan pòtay la, soti nan lavil la. Al pare wout la pou pèp la tounen. Ranbleye! Wete wòch sou tout wout la! Leve drapo a, fè tout nasyon yo siyon!
11 Look, YHWH has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
Seyè a pral fè tout latè a konnen nouvèl la: -Di moun lavil ki sou mòn Siyon an: Men moun ki delivre nou an ap vini. L'ap mennen moun li sove yo avè l'. Y'ap mache devan l'. Se rekonpans li, se rezilta travay li.
12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Y'a rele nou pèp ki apa pou Bondye a, pèp Bondye delivre a. Y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm lavil Bondye renmen an, lavil Bondye p'ap janm lage a.
