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.
YHWH, you are my God. I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
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 you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of the insolent is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
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 a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
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 you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
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.
As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
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.
In this mountain, YHWH of hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
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.
He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all 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!
He has swallowed up death in victory. YHWH will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for YHWH 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.
It shall be said in that day, "Look, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is YHWH. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his 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.
For in this mountain the hand of YHWH will rest. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in a dunghill.
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.
He will spread out his hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of 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.
He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
