Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to proclaim good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison for those who are bound.
Lespri Bondye, Seyè a, desann sou mwen. Paske Seyè a chwazi m', li voye m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun ki nan lapenn yo, pou m' geri tout moun k'ap soufri yo, pou m' fè tout moun yo te depòte yo konnen yo delivre, pou m' fè tout prizonye yo konnen pòt prizon louvri pou yo.
2 He has sent me to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, the day of vengeance of our God, and to comfort all who mourn.
Li voye m' anonse lè a rive pou Seyè a vin delivre pèp li a, jou a rive pou Bondye nou an vin tire revanj pou nou. Li voye m' ankouraje tout moun ki nan lafliksyon,
3 He has sent me—to give to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a turban instead of ashes, oil of joy instead of mourning, a mantle of praise in place of a spirit of dullness, to call them oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.
pou m' bay moun mòn Siyon ki nan lafliksyon yo kè kontan nan plas lapenn yo, kontantman nan plas kè sere yo a. M'ap mete nan bouch yo chante remèsiman nan plas chante plenyen. Yo pral grandi tankou gwo pyebwa nan jaden Seyè a te plante ak men l'. Yo tout pral fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye, pou tout moun ka fè lwanj bèl pouvwa li.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the former desolations. They will restore the ruined cities, the desolations from many former generations.
Yo gen pou yo rebati sou anplasman vye lavil yo. Y'a repare kay moun yo te bandonnen depi lontan. Y'a rebati lavil ki te fin kraze yo, kay ki te fin tounen mazi depi lontan yo.
5 Foreigners will stand and feed your flocks, and sons of foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
Se moun lòt nasyon ki va pran swen mouton nou yo. Se moun vini ki va travay jaden nou yo, ki va okipe jaden rezen nou yo.
6 You will be called the priests of Yahweh; they will call you servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their riches.
Men nou menm, y'a rele nou prèt Seyè a. Wi, y'a rele nou Sèvitè Bondye nou an! N'a jwi richès lòt nasyon yo. Tout bèl bagay lakay yo, se pou nou y'a ye.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double; and instead of dishonor they will rejoice over their share. So they will have a double share of their land; everlasting joy will be theirs.
Kote yo te konn fè nou wont, se sou tèt y'a pote nou. Kote yo te konn pase nou nan rizib, y'a fè gwo fèt pou nou. N'a rete nan peyi nou, richès nou va double. N'a toujou gen kè kontan san rete.
8 For I, Yahweh, love justice, and I hate robbery and violent injustice. I will faithfully repay them, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Seyè a di: -Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen renmen sa ki dwat, mwen pa vle wè lè moun ap vòlò, lè moun ap fè lenjistis. M'a kenbe pawòl mwen, m'a bay pèp mwen an rekonpans yo, m'a pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the people whom Yahweh has blessed.
Nan tout peyi, y'a nonmen non yo. Pitit pitit yo va gen bon non nan mitan lòt pèp yo. Tout moun ki va wè yo va konnen se yon ras moun mwenmenm menm, Seyè a, mwen beni.
10 I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh; in my God I will be very glad. For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has clothed me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns himself with a turban, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Se pa ti kontan kè m' kontan pou sa Seyè a fè. M'ap fè fèt pou Bondye mwen an. Paske mwen tankou yon nèg k'ap marye ki fin abiye pou nòs la, tankou yon lamarye k'ap ranje bijou l' yo sou li. Li kouvri m' ak pouvwa li pou l' sove m'. Li vlope m' nan bra li pou l' delivre m'.
11 For as the earth produces its sprouting plants, and as the garden makes its planting grow, so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up in front of all the nations.
Menm jan tè a fè ti plant yo pouse, menm jan grenn yo leve nan jaden, konsa tou, Seyè ki la pou tout tan an va delivre pèp li a. Tout nasyon va fè lwanj li toupatou.
