< Isaiah 61 >
1 The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
Lespri Senyè BONDYE a sou mwen, akoz SENYÈ a te onksyone mwen pou pote bòn nouvèl a moun aflije yo. Li te voye mwen pou bay soutyen a sila ak kè brize yo, pou pwoklame libète a kaptif yo e delivrans a prizonye yo;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
pou pwoklame lane gras SENYÈ a e jou a vanjans Bondye nou an; pou konsole tout moun ak kè ki tris,
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
pou fè pwovizyon pou sila ak kè tris Sion yo; pou bay yo yon bèl kouwòn pou ranplase sann yo, ak lwil kè kontan pou ranplase tristès la, ak abiman lwanj pou ranplase lespri kraze a. Konsa, yo va rele pye chenn ladwati, yon plantasyon SENYÈ a, pou Li kapab resevwa glwa.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.
Yo va rebati ansyen mazi yo, yo va fè leve wo sa ki te kraze depi lontan yo. Yo va repare vil ki te detwi yo, dezolasyon de anpil jenerasyon yo.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
Etranje yo va kanpe pou okipe bann mouton nou yo, e pitit a etranje yo va kiltivatè tè nou, ak chan rezen nou yo.
6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations. You will boast in their glory.
Men nou va rele kon prèt SENYÈ a; Lèzòm va rele nou sèvitè yo a Bondye nou an. Nou va manje richès a nasyon yo, e nan richès pa yo, nou va vante tèt nou.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonour, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
Olye de wont nou, nou va gen yon pòsyon doub; olye de imilyasyon, yo va rele ak lajwa sou pòsyon pa yo. Akoz sa, yo va posede yon pòsyon doub nan peyi yo; lajwa etènèl la va pou yo.
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and iniquity. I will give them their reward in truth and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, renmen lajistis; Mwen rayi vòl ak malfezans. Ak fidelite Mwen va bay yo rekonpans yo, e Mwen va fè yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk yo.
9 Their offspring will be known amongst the nations, and their offspring amongst the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which the LORD has blessed.”
Desandan pa yo va rekonèt pami nasyon yo, e posterite yo nan mitan a tout pèp yo. Tout moun ki wè yo va rekonèt yo, akoz yo se desandan ke SENYÈ a te beni yo.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Mwen va rejwi anpil nan SENYÈ a; nanm mwen va rejwi anpil nan Bondyè mwen an, paske Li te abiye mwen ak vètman sali yo. Li te vlope m nan yon manto ladwati, tankou yon jennonm fenk marye dekore kò l ak yon kouwòn; e tankou yon jenn fi maryaj abiye kò l ak bijou.
11 For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Paske jan tè a fè boujon li vin parèt la, jaden an fè bagay ki simen ladann yo vin pete grandi, konsa Senyè BONDYE a va fè ladwati ak lwanj pete grandi devan tout nasyon yo.
