< Isaiah 51 >

1 Listen to me O [those who] pursue righteousness [those who] seek Yahweh look to [the] rock [which] you were dug and to [the] excavation of [the] pit [which] you were dug out.
“Koute mwen, nou menm ki swiv ladwati a, k ap chache SENYÈ a: Gade vè wòch sou sila nou te taye a, vè min wòch kote nou te retire a.
2 Look to Abraham ancestor your and to Sarah [who] she gave birth to you if one [person] I called him and I blessed him and I multiplied him.
Gade vè Abraham, papa nou an ak Sarah, ki te fè nou soti nan vant. Lè li te yon sèl, Mwen te rele li, Mwen te beni li, e te fè l vin miltipliye.”
3 For he will comfort Yahweh Zion he will comfort all waste places its and he made wilderness its like Eden and desert plain its like [the] garden of Yahweh joy and gladness it will be found in it thanksgiving and [the] sound of music.
Anverite, SENYÈ a te konsole Sion; Li te rekonfòte tout kote dezole li yo. Epi savann li yo te fèt sanble ak Éden, e dezè yo tankou jaden Senyè a. Lajwa ak kè kontan va twouve nan yo; remèsiman ak son melodi chanson.
4 Pay attention to me O people my and O nation my to me give ear for law from with me it will go out and justice my a light of peoples I will make suddenly.
“Prete atansyon a Mwen, O pèp Mwen an e prete Mwen zòrèy nou, O nasyon Mwen an; paske yon lwa va sòti nan Mwen e Mwen va poze jistis Mwen kon yon limyè a tout pèp yo.
5 [is] near Righteousness my it has gone out salvation my and arms my peoples they will judge to me islands they will wait and to arm my they will hope!
Ladwati Mwen toupre a. Sali Mwen te voye deyò. Se bra M kap jije pèp yo. Peyi kot yo va tann Mwen, e bra M va jije pèp yo.
6 Lift up to the heavens eyes your and look to the earth beneath for [the] heavens like smoke they will be dispersed and the earth like garment it will wear out and inhabitants its like gnat[s] they will die! and salvation my for ever it will be and righteousness my not it will be broken.
Leve zye nou vè syèl la e gade anba vè latè; paske syèl la va disparèt tankou lafimen; latè va epwize tankou yon vètman. Konsa, moun ki rete ladann yo va mouri; men delivrans Mwen va la jis pou tout tan, e ladwati Mwen p ap janm sispann.
7 Listen to me O [those who] know righteousness a people [which] law my [is] in heart their may not you fear [the] reproach of humankind and from reviling words their may not you be dismayed.
“Koute Mwen, nou menm ki konnen ladwati, yon pèp ki gen lalwa M nan kè yo. Pa pè repwòch a lòm, ni dekouraje lè y ap meprize nou.
8 For like garment it will eat them moth and like wool it will eat them clothes-moth and righteousness my for ever it will be and salvation my to a generation of generations.
Paske papiyon va manje yo tankou yon vètman, e mit va manje yo tankou len. Men ladwati Mwen va jis pou tout tan, e sali Mwen, a tout jenerasyon yo.”
9 Awake awake put on strength O arm of Yahweh awake like days of antiquity generations of antiquiti ¿ not [are] you she who cut in pieces Rahab [who] pierced [the] sea monster.
“Leve, leve, mete fòs sou Ou, O bra SENYÈ a; leve tankou nan jou lansyen yo. Èske se pa t Ou menm ki te koupe Rahab an ti mòso a, ki te frennen dragon an nèt la?
10 ¿ Not [are] you she who dried up [the] sea [the] water of [the] deep great who made [the] depths of [the] sea a way to pass over redeemed [people].
Èske se pa Ou menm ki te seche lanmè a, dlo yo a gran fon an; ki te fè pwofondè lanmè yo yon chemen pou rachte yo ta ka travèse lòtbò?
11 And [the] [people] ransomed of Yahweh they will return! and they will come Zion with a shout of joy and gladness of perpetuity [will be] on head their joy and gladness they will overtake [them]! they will flee sorrow and sighing.
Pou sa, rachte a SENYÈ yo va retounen; vini ak gwo kri lajwa a Sion yo. Epi lajwa ki dire nèt la va sou tèt yo. Yo va jwenn kè kontan ak lajwa, e tristès ak soupi pa yo va disparèt nèt.
12 I I [am] he [who] comforts you who? [are] you and you have been afraid from a person [who] he dies and from a child of humankind [who] grass he is made.
“Mwen, Mwen menm se Sila ki bannou konsolasyon an. Se kilès ou ye pou ou pè moun ki va mouri, ak fis a moun ki fèt tankou zèb la?
13 And you have forgotten Yahweh [who] made you [who] stretched out [the] heavens and [who] founded [the] earth and you have been in dread continually all the day of [the] anger of the oppressor when he has prepared to destroy and where? [is] [the] anger of the oppressor.
Èske ou te bliye SENYÈ a, Kreyatè ou a, ki te rale ouvri syèl yo e te poze fondasyon latè yo? Eske nou krent tout jounen akoz kòlè opresè a, pandan l ap prepare pou detwi? Men ki kote kòlè opresè sila a?
14 He will hasten [one who] stoops to be let loose and not he will die to the pit and not he will lack food his.
Toutalè egzile a va libere. Li p ap mouri nan kacho a, ni li p ap manke pen.
15 And I [am] Yahweh God your [who] stirs up the sea and they roared waves its [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Paske Mwen se SENYÈ Bondye ou a, ki fè boulvèse lanmè a, Ki fè lanm li yo gwonde. SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li.
16 And I have put words my in mouth your and with [the] shadow of hand my I have covered you to plant [the] heavens and to found [the] earth and to say to Zion [are] people my you.
Mwen te mete pawòl Mwen nan bouch ou e te kouvri ou avèk lonbraj men Mwen, pou etabli syèl yo, fonde latè a e pou di a Sion: ‘Ou se pèp Mwen.’”
17 Rouse yourself rouse yourself arise O Jerusalem who you have drunk from [the] hand of Yahweh [the] cup of anger his [the] bowl of [the] cup of staggering you have drunk you have drained.
Leve ou menm! Leve ou menm! Kanpe, O Jérusalem! Ou menm ki te bwè depi nan men SENYÈ a, tas kòlè Li. Gode ki pou fè ou kilbite a, ou fin bwè jis rive nan kras anba l.
18 There not [is one who] leads her of all [the] children [whom] she has borne and there not [is one who] takes hold on hand her from all [the] children [whom] she has brought up.
Nanpwen moun ki pou gide fi a pami tout fis li te fè yo, ni nanpwen moun ki pou pran l pa lamen pami tout fis li te leve yo.
19 Two [things] they [have] happened to you who? does he show sympathy to you the devastation and the destruction and the famine and the sword who? do I comfort you.
Se de bagay sa yo ki gen tan rive ou— se kilès ki va kriye pou ou?— devastasyon ak destriksyon, gwo grangou, ak nepe. Kijan pou m ta konsole ou?
20 Children your they have become faint they have lain down at [the] head of all [the] streets like an antelope of a net which [are] full [the] anger of Yahweh [the] rebuke of God your.
Fis ou yo vin endispoze; yo kouche atè sou pwent a chak ri, tankou antilòp ki kenbe nan pèlen. Yo ranpli ak kòlè SENYÈ a, ak repwòch Bondye ou a.
21 Therefore hear please this O afflicted [one] and O drunken [one] and not from wine.
Pou sa, souple, koute sa, ou menm ki aflije, ki sou, men pa avèk diven:
22 Thus he says lord your Yahweh and God your [who] he conducts a case for people his here! I have taken from hand your [the] cup of staggering [the] bowl of [the] cup of anger my not you will repeat to drink it again.
Konsa pale Senyè ou a, SENYÈ a, menm Bondye ou, ki pran plede kòz pou pèp Li a: “Gade byen, Mwen te retire tas kilbite a, gode kòlè Mwen an soti nan men ou; ou p ap janm bwè l ankò.
23 And I will put it in [the] hand of [those who] torment you who they said to self your lie down so let us pass over [you] and you made like the ground back your and like the street for [those who] pass over.
M ap mete li nan men a sila k ap toumante ou yo, ki te di nanm ou: ‘Kouche pou nou ka mache sou ou’. Ou te kouche fè do ou vin tankou tè a; tankou gran lari pou sila k ap mache sou li yo.”
