< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, clothed in red from Bozrah? Who is he in royal clothing, marching confidently because of his great strength? It is I, speaking righteousness and powerfully able to save.
Kilès sa a k'ap vini sot lavil Bozra nan peyi Edon an, ak yon rad tou wouj sou li a? L'ap mache byen bwòdè ak bèl rad li sou li. L'ap mache tèt li byen wo, l'ap pile tè a byen fò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki gen pouvwa pou delivre moun lan, k'ap pale sou koze delivrans lan.
2 Why are your clothes red, and why do they look like you have been treading grapes in a winepress?
Poukisa rad sou ou yo wouj konsa, tankou rad moun k'ap kraze rezen anba pye yo pou fè diven nan basen?
3 I have trodden grapes in the winepress alone, and no one from the nations joined me. I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. Their blood is spattered on my clothes and stained all my clothes.
Seyè a reponn: -Mwen te pou kont mwen ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye m', tankou rezen nan basen. Pa t' gen yon moun nan pèp mwen an ki te la avè m'. Mwen fè kòlè, mwen mache sou yo, m' pilonnen yo anba pye m' sitèlman mwen te fache. San yo benyen tout rad mwen, li tache yo byen tache.
4 For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and the year for my redemption had arrived.
Mwen te chwazi nan kè m' jou pou m' te tire revanj pou pèp mwen an. Lè pou m' te pini lènmi l' yo te rive.
5 I looked, and there was no one to help. I wondered that there was none to help, but my own arm brought victory for me, and my strong anger drove me on.
Lè m' gade, mwen te sezi. Pa t' gen yon moun pou ban m' yon koutmen. Pa t' gen pesonn pou ban m' konkou. Men, mwen te sitèlman an kòlè, mwen jwenn kont fòs nan ponyèt mwen, mwen kenbe jouk mwen fin delivre yo.
6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their blood on the earth.
Mwen fè yon sèl kòlè, mwen kraze yon bann pèp. Mwen dechèpiye yo sitèlman mwen te fache. Mwen fè dlo kò yo benyen kò yo.
7 I will tell of the acts of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness, the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh. I will tell of all that Yahweh has done for us, and of his great goodness to the house of Israel. This compassion he has shown us because of his mercy, and with many deeds of covenant faithfulness.
M'a chante pou m' fè konnen tout bèl bagay Seyè a fè pou nou. M'a fè lwanj li pou tou sa li fè pou nou, pou jan li bon pou moun fanmi Izrayèl yo. Li moutre nou jan li gen kè sansib pou nou, jan li renmen nou anpil.
8 For he said, “For certain they are my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their Savior.
Seyè a te di se pèp mwen yo ye, m' sèten yo p'ap fè m' wont. Se konsa, li delivre yo
9 Through all their suffering, he suffered too, and the angel from his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he saved them, and he lifted them up and carried them through all the ancient times.
nan tout tèt chaje yo. Se pa t' yon moun ni yon zanj li te voye fè travay la pou li. Se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Li sitèlman renmen yo, kè l' sitèlman fè l' mal pou yo, se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Nan tan lontan, li te toujou pran swen yo.
10 But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.
Men, yo te fè wòklò avè l', yo te fè l' lapenn anpil. Se konsa Seyè a te tounen yon lènmi pou yo, li fè yo lagè.
11 His people thought about the ancient times of Moses. They said, “Where is God, who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is God, who put his Holy Spirit among them?
Men, yo chonje tan lontan, yo vin chonje Moyiz. Yo mande koulye a: Kote Bondye ki te rale yo sot nan lanmè a, Bondye ki te mete Moyiz mache devan yo tankou yon gadò pou bann mouton l' yo? Kote Bondye ki te bay Moyiz pouvwa lespri li a?
12 Where is God, who made his glorious power go with the right hand of Moses, and divided the water before them, to make an everlasting name for himself?
Kote Bondye ki te kanpe sou bò dwat Moyiz la pou fè gwo mèvèy ak fòs ponyèt li, lè li te fann dlo a devan yo pou tout moun te ka toujou chonje sa l' te fè a?
13 Where is God, who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land, they did not stumble.
Lè Bondye te fè yo mache nan fon lanmè a tankou chwal nan sab dezè, san yo pa janm bite,
14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest. So you led your people, to make yourself a name of praise.
tankou bèf k'ap desann nan plenn pou y' al manje, lespri Seyè a te mennen yo kote pou yo poze. Wi, se konsa Seyè a te mache devan pèp li a, pou tout moun te ka toujou nonmen non l' pou jan li gen pouvwa.
15 Look down from heaven and take notice from your holy and glorious habitation. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? Your pity and your compassionate actions are kept from us.
Seyè, antan ou nan syèl la, nan bèl kay ki apa pou ou a, tanpri, voye je ou gade nou non! Jan ou te fè jalouzi pou nou sa a! Jan ou te kanpe pou nou ak kouraj ou sa a! Jan ou te renmen nou sa a! Jan ou te konn gen pitye pou nou sa a! Kote ou kite tou sa? Gen lè ou fèmen kè ou!
16 For you are our father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us, you, Yahweh, are our father. 'Our Redeemer' has been your name from ancient times.
Se ou menm ki papa nou. Abraram pa konnen nou. Izrayèl pa rekonèt nou! Se ou menm, Seyè, ki papa nou. Se ou menm ki toujou delivre nou!
17 Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
Poukisa atò ou kite nou pèdi chemen ou te mete devan nou an, ou kite nou lage kò nou nan raje? Poukisa ou kite nou fè tèt di, ou kite nou pèdi krentif nou te gen pou ou a? Tanpri, tounen vin jwenn nou non, poutèt moun k'ap sèvi ou yo, poutèt pèp ki toujou moun pa ou la!
18 Your people possessed your holy place for a short time, but then our enemies trampled it.
Nou poko chita, lènmi nou yo te gen tan pran peyi a nan men nou, yo derespekte tanp ou a.
19 We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were never called by your name.”
Depi kèk tan ou sèvi ak nou tankou si se pa ou ki chèf nou ankò, tankou si nou pa pèp ou a ankò.
