Isaiah 54
1 Sing, O thou barren, that didst not hear! Break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that wast not in travail! For more are the children of the desolate Than of the married woman, saith Jehovah.
Jerizalèm, ou menm ki pa t' kapab fè pitit, rele, fè fèt! Ou menm ki pa t' janm konnen doulè tranche, chante, danse, fè kè ou kontan! Paske fanm gason pa t' okipe a ap gen plis pitit pase fanm mari l' pa t' janm kite l' la. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let the canopy of thy habitation be extended! Spare not; lengthen thy cords, And make fast thy stakes!
Laji kote w'ap moute tant ou pou ou viv la! Louvri twal tant ou yo. Ou pa bezwen jennen. Lonje kòd ou yo, ranfòse pikèt ou yo!
3 For on the right hand and on the left shalt thou burst forth with increase; And thy posterity shall inherit the nations, And people the desolate cities.
Ou pral louvri lakou ou sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch pou fè plas. Moun ou yo pral tounen nan peyi moun lòt nasyon yo te pran nan men yo. Yo pral plen tout lavil ki te rete san moun yo.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded; Blush not, for thou shalt not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.
Ou pa bezwen pè! Yo p'ap derespekte ou ankò! Ou pa bezwen bese tèt ou, yo p'ap fè ou wont ankò! Ou pral bliye bagay lèd ou te fè lè ou te jenn marye a. Ou p'ap chonje lè ou te rete pou kont ou tankou yon fanm ki pèdi mari l'.
5 For thy husband is thy Maker; Jehovah of hosts is his name. Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Bondye ki te kreye ou la pral tankou yon mari pou ou. Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, se konsa yo rele l'. Se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki apa a, ki pral delivre ou. Se Bondye tout latè a yo rele l'.
6 For as a woman forsaken, and deeply afflicted, hath Jehovah recalled thee, And as a wife wedded in youth, that hath been rejected, saith thy God.
Ou tankou yon madanm mari l' kite l', epi ki nan gwo lapenn. Ou tankou yon madanm mari l' te renmen depi lè l' te jenn gason, men li vire do kite l'. Seyè a rele ou tounen vin jwenn li.
7 For a little moment I have forsaken thee, But with great mercy will I gather thee.
Men sa Bondye ou la di ou: -Mwen te kite ou pou yon ti tan. Men, m'ap tounen avè ou ankò paske mwen renmen ou anpil.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy upon thee, Saith thy redeemer, Jehovah.
Kòlè te fè m' pèdi tèt mwen. Mwen te vire do ba ou. Men, kè m' fè m' mal pou ou. M'ap moutre ou jan m' toujou renmen ou. Se Seyè k'ap delivre ou la ki di ou sa.
9 As in the time of the waters of Noah, so shall it be now; As I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, So do I swear that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Menm jan nan tan Noe, mwen te pwomèt mwen p'ap janm kite gwo inondasyon rive ankò sou latè. Konsa tou, mwen pwomèt koulye a m' p'ap janm fache sou nou ankò. Mwen p'ap rele dèyè nou, mwen p'ap pini nou ankò.
10 For the mountains shall depart, And the hills be overthrown, But my kindness shall not depart from thee, Nor shall my covenant of peace be overthrown, Saith Jehovah, that hath pity on thee.
Ou te mèt wè mòn yo ap souke, ti mòn yo ap tranble, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen ou. M'ap toujou kenbe kontra mwen te pase pou m' te toujou byen avè ou la. Se Seyè ki renmen ou lan ki di ou sa.
11 O thou afflicted, beaten with the storm, destitute of consolation! Behold, I lay thy stones in cement of vermilion, And thy foundations with sapphires.
Seyè a di ankò: -Ou menm lavil Jerizalèm ki nan gwo lapenn, ki san sekou, ki san pesonn pou konsole ou, mwen pral poze bèl wòch pyè ak yon mòtye koulè pou fondasyon ou. Mwen pral rebati ou sou pyè safi.
12 And I will make thy battlements of rubies, And thy gates of carbuncles, And all thy borders fill of precious stones.
M'ap bati fò ou yo ak pyè ribi, pòtay ou yo ak pyè malachi, miray ranpa ou yo ak bèl wòch pyè ki koute chè.
13 All thy children shall be taught by Jehovah, And great shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Se Seyè a menm ki pral moutre pitit ou yo tout bagay. Yo pral viv alèz ak kè poze.
14 By righteousness shalt thou be established; Be thou far from anxiety, for thou shalt have nothing to fear, And from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Ou pral kanpe fèm paske tout moun ap mache dwat lakay ou. Pa fè mechanste. Ou pa bezwen pè pesonn. Ou pa bezwen gen kè sote. Anyen p'ap rive ou.
15 If any be leagued against thee, it is not by my command; Whoever shall be leagued against thee shall come over to thee.
Si yo atake ou, sa p'ap soti nan mwen. Nenpòt moun ki va fè ou lagè pral tonbe devan ou.
16 Behold, I create the smith, Who bloweth up the coals into a fire, And produceth an instrument for his work; I also create the destroyer to lay waste.
Se mwen menm ki kreye bòs fòjon k'ap chofe dife chabon pou fè tout kalite zam. Se mwen menm tou ki fè lwijanboje yo pou kraze brize.
17 Whatever weapon is formed against thee, it shall not prosper; And against every tongue that contendeth with thee, thou shalt obtain thy cause. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And the blessing which they receive from me, saith Jehovah.
Men, tout zam y'a fè pou sèvi kont ou yo p'ap fè ou anyen. W'a gen repons nan bouch ou pou tout moun ki va akize ou nan tribinal. Se sa m'ap fè pou tout sèvitè m' yo. Se mwen k'ap defann kòz yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
