Ezayi 25
1 Seyè, se ou ki Bondye mwen! M'a di jan ou gen gwo pouvwa, m'a fè lwanj ou! Ou fè anpil bèl bagay. Plan travay ou te fè nan tèt ou depi lontan an, ou reyalize l' nèt, jan ou te vle l' la.
O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.
2 Ou fè tout lavil tounen pil wòch, lavil ki te gen gwo ranpa tounen vye kay kraze. Sitadèl lènmi yo te bati a disparèt. Yo p'ap janm ka rebati l' ankò.
For thou hast made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.
3 Se poutèt sa, moun gwo nasyon yo ap fè lwanj ou. Lwijanboje ki rete nan lavil gwo peyi yo va gen krentif pou ou.
Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee.
4 Paske ou te sèvi pwoteksyon pou moun ki fèb, yon pwoteksyon pou malere lè yo te nan tray. Se bò kote ou yo pare lapli. Se anba lonbraj ou yo pare solèy. Lè mechan yo move, yo tankou gwo lapli loraj k'ap tonbe nan tan fredi.
For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: [thou hast been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.
5 Yo tankou gwo solèy k'ap boule yon tè sèk. Men, Seyè, ou kase fe lènmi nou yo. Ou fè tout mechan yo fèmen bouch yo. Ou fè yo frèt tankou lè gwo nwaj bare solèy la nan sezon chalè.
[We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us.
6 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral fè yon gwo fèt sou mòn Siyon an pou tout nasyon ki sou latè, avèk bèl plat manje byen pare ak bonjan vyann gra. L'ap sèvi bon kalite diven ki la depi lontan.
And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:
7 Se sou mòn sa a li pral wete gwo vwal ki te sou tèt tout nasyon yo, vwal ki te ba yo kè sere a.
they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations.
8 Seyè a pral fè pa janm gen lanmò ankò. Li pral siye dlo nan je tout moun. Li pral wete lawont sa a ki te sou pèp li a toupatou sou latè. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
9 Jou sa a, tout moun va di: Se li menm ki Bondye nou. Nou te mete tout espwa nou nan li. Li delivre nou! Se li menm ki Seyè a! Nou te mete konfyans nou nan li. Ann fè kè nou kontan. Ann fè fèt, paske li delivre nou.
And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.
10 Seyè a ap pwoteje mòn Siyon an. Men, l'ap pilonnen moun peyi Moab yo anba pye l', menm jan yo pilonnen pay nan labou pak bèt.
God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.
11 Nan mitan labou a, y'a lonje bra yo tankou si yo ta vle naje soti. Men Seyè a pral kraze lògèy yo, l'ap defèt tou sa yo te fè ak men yo.
And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.
12 L'ap kraze gwo ranpa byen wo yo te bati sou miray yo, l'ap jete yo plat atè, l'ap fè yo tounen pousyè.
And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
