Isaiah 40
1 My puple, be ye coumfortid, be ye coumfortid, seith youre Lord God.
“Konsole, O konsole pèp Mwen an,” pale Bondye ou an.
2 Speke ye to the herte of Jerusalem, and clepe ye it, for the malice therof is fillid, the wickidnesse therof is foryouun; it hath resseyued of the hond of the Lord double thingis for alle hise synnes.
“Pale ak dousè ak Jérusalem. Rele a li menm, ke konfli li fini an, ke inikite li retire a, ke li te resevwa nan men SENYÈ a doub pou tout peche li yo.”
3 The vois of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye riytful the pathis of oure God in wildirnesse.
Yon vwa k ap rele fò, “Debleye chemen an pou SENYÈ a nan dezè a! Fè vin swa nan dezè a yon gran chemen pou Bondye nou an.
4 Ech valey schal be enhaunsid, and ech mounteyn and litil hil schal be maad low; and schrewid thingis schulen be in to streiyt thingis, and scharpe thingis schulen be in to pleyn weies.
Kite tout vale yo vin leve wo, e tout mòn ak kolin yo vin ba. Kite move teren an vin pla, e teren difisil yo vin yon vale ki swa.
5 And the glorie of the Lord schal be schewid, and ech man schal se togidere, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoke.
Glwa a SENYÈ a va vin parèt, e tout chè va wè sa ansanm; paske bouch a SENYÈ a fin pale.”
6 The vois of God, seiynge, Crie thou. And Y seide, What schal Y crie? Ech fleisch is hei, and al the glorie therof is as the flour of the feeld.
Yon vwa pale: “Rele fò.” Yon lòt reponn: “Kisa pou m rele?” “Tout chè se zèb, e tout bèlte li se tankou flè nan chan.
7 The hei is dried vp, and the flour felle doun, for the spirit of the Lord bleew therynne.
Zèb la fennen, flè a pèdi koulè l, depi souf SENYÈ a soufle sou li. Anverite, pèp la se zèb.
8 Verely the puple is hey; the hey is dried vp, and the flour felle doun; but the word of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.
Zèb la fennen, flè a pèdi koulè l, men pawòl Bondye nou an kanpe jis pou tout tan.”
9 Thou that prechist to Sion, stie on an hiy hil; thou that prechist to Jerusalem, enhaunse thi vois in strengthe; enhaunse thou, nyle thou drede; seie thou to the citees of Juda, Lo! youre God.
Mete ou menm sou yon mòn ki wo, O Sion, ki pote bòn nouvèl. Leve vwa ou wo ak gwo pouvwa, O Jérusalem, ki pote bòn nouvèl la! Leve wo! Pa pè anyen! Di a vil Juda yo: Men Bondye nou an!
10 Lo! the Lord God schal come in strengthe, and his arm schal holde lordschipe; lo! his mede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
Gade byen, Senyè BONDYE a, va vini ak pwisans. Se bra L k ap kòmande pou Li. Gade byen salè Li avè L, e rekonpans li devan L.
11 As a scheepherd he schal fede his flok, he schal gadere lambreen in his arm, and he schal reise in his bosom; he schal bere scheep `with lomb.
Tankou yon bèje, Li va pran swen bann mouton Li. Nan bra Li, Li va ranmase jenn mouton yo, e pote yo sou lestonmak Li. Ak dousè, Li va mennen manma a ak ti mouton piti yo.
12 Who mat watris in a fist, and peiside heuenes with a spanne? Who peiside the heuynesse of the erthe with thre fyngris, and weide mounteyns in a weihe, and litle hillis in a balaunce?
Se kilès ki te mezire dlo nan pla men L? Kilès ki te etabli mezi syèl yo ak yon men louvri; ki te fè kalkil pousyè latè pa mezi, ki te peze mòn yo nan gwo balans, e ki te peze kolin yo ak ti balans piti a?
13 Who helpide the Spirit of the Lord, ether who was his councelour, and schewide to hym?
Se kilès ki te dirije Lespri SENYÈ a, oswa kòn enstwi Li pou l konseye L?
14 With whom took he councel, and who lernyde hym, and tauyte hym the path of riytfulnesse, and lernyde hym in kunnyng, and schewyde to him the weie of prudence?
Ak kilès Li te konsilte, e se kilès ki te bay Li bon konprann? Epi kilès ki te montre Li chemen lajistis la, ki te enstwi Li nan konesans, e ki te fè L konnen chemen an pou L byen konprann?
15 Lo! folkis ben as a drope of a boket, and ben arettid as the tunge of a balaunce; lo!
Gade byen, nasyon yo se tankou yon gout dlo nan yon bokit; yo parèt tankou yon grenn pousyè sou balans la. Gade byen, li leve fè monte lil yo konsi se yon ti kras pousyè.
16 ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.
Menm Liban pa kont pou brile, ni bèt li yo pa kont pou fè ofrann brile.
17 Alle folkis ben so bifore hym, as if thei ben not; and thei ben rettid as no thing and veyn thing to hym.
Tout nasyon yo se konsi yo pa anyen devan L, Li gade yo tankou mwens ke anyen, kon vanite.
18 To whom therfor maden ye God lijk? ether what ymage schulen ye sette to hym?
A kilès, alò, nou ta konpare Bondye? Oswa avèk ki imaj nou ta fè L sanble?
19 Whether a smyth schal welle togidere an ymage, ether a gold smyth schal figure it in gold, and a worchere in siluer schal diyte it with platis of siluer?
Pou Zidòl la, se yon ouvriye ki fòme l, ak òfèv ki kouvri l ak lò e fè chenn li an ajan,
20 A wijs crafti man chees a strong tre, and vnable to be rotun; he sekith how he schal ordeyne a symylacre, that schal not be mouyd.
Sila ki twò pòv pou fè ofrann sa a, pran yon pyebwa ki pa konn pouri; li chache jwenn yon mèt atizan pou prepare yon zidòl ki p ap deplase.
21 Whether ye witen not? whether ye herden not? whether it was not teld to you fro the begynnynge? whether ye vndurstoden not the foundementis of erthe?
Èske nou pa konnen? Èske nou pa konn tande? Èske sa pa t deklare a nou menm depi nan kòmansman? Èske nou pa t konprann sa depi nan fondasyon latè yo?
22 Which sittith on the cumpas of erthe, and the dwelleris therof ben as locustis; which stretchith forth heuenes as nouyt, and spredith abrood tho as a tabernacle to dwelle.
Se Li menm ki chita anwo wonn tè a ki veye nou ki rete ladann tankou krikèt volan; ki lonje ouvri syèl yo tankou yon rido e fè yo deplwaye tankou yon tant pou moun viv ladann.
23 Which yyueth the sercheris of priuytees, as if thei be not, and made the iugis of erthe as a veyn thing.
Se Li menm ki redwi gwo chèf yo pou yo pa anyen, ki fè jij latè yo vin san sans.
24 And sotheli whanne the stok of hem is nether plauntid, nether is sowun, nether is rootid in erthe, he bleew sudenli on hem, and thei drieden vp, and a whirle wynd schal take hem awei as stobil.
Apèn yo fin plante, apèn yo fin simen, apèn stòk yo fin pran rasin nan tè a, Li sèlman soufle sou yo, e yo fennen poutanpèt la pote yo ale tankou pay.
25 And to what thing `ye han licned me, and han maad euene? seith the hooli.
“Alò, ak kilès ou va konpare Mwen, pou M ta kapab vin egal avè l?” pale Sila Ki Sen an.
26 Reise youre iyen an hiy, and se ye, who made these thingis of nouyt; which ledith out in noumbre the kniythod of tho, and clepith alle bi name, for the multitude of his strengthe, and stalworthnesse, and vertu; nether o residue thing was.
Leve zye nou anlè, e gade kilès ki te kreye zetwal sila yo; Sila ki mennen lame selès yo sòti pa chif yo. Li rele yo tout pa non yo. Akoz grandè a pwisans Li ak fòs pouvwa Li, nanpwen youn nan yo ki manke.
27 Whi seist thou, Jacob, and spekist thou, Israel, My weie is hid fro the Lord, and my doom passide fro my God?
Poukisa ou di, O Jacob, e pale O Israël: “Chemen Mwen an kache de SENYÈ a e jistis ke m merite a chape de atansyon Bondye M”?
28 Whether thou knowist not, ether herdist thou not? God, euerlastynge Lord, that made of nouyt the endis of erthe, schal not faile, nether schal trauele, nether enserchyng of his wisdom is.
Èske nou pa konnen? Èske nou pa tande? Ke Bondye Etènèl la, SENYÈ a, Kreyatè a dènye pwent latè a, pa konn fatige, ni bouke. Konprann pa Li depase tout bon konprann.
29 That yyueth vertu to the weeri, and strengthe to hem that ben not, and multiplieth stalworthnesse.
Li bay fòs a sila ki fatige yo, e a sila ki manke fòs yo, li bay plis pouvwa.
30 Children schulen faile, and schulen trauele, and yonge men schulen falle doun in her sikenesse.
Malgre moun jenn yo febli e vin bouke, e jenn nom plen kouraj yo vin glise tonbe;
31 But thei that hopen in the Lord, schulen chaunge strengthe, thei schulen take fetheris as eglis; thei schulen renne, and schulen not trauele; thei schulen go, and schulen not faile.
sila ki tann SENYÈ yo va renouvle ak kouraj nèf; yo va monte anwo ak zèl kon èg. Yo va kouri, e yo p ap bouke; yo va mache, e yo p ap fatige.
