< Ezayi 4 >

1 Jou sa a, sèt fanm pral kouri dèyè yon sèl gason, y'a di l': -Nou ka bay tèt nou manje. Nou ka biye tèt nou. Men, tanpri, kite nou di se mari nou ou ye pou nou pa wont devan moun!
And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, 'Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our reproach.'
2 Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè tout plant nan peyi a boujonnen ankò. Y'a grandi byen bèl, byen gwo. Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' mouri va kontan bèl rekòt tè a va bay. Sa va fè yo leve tèt yo.
In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.
3 Lè sa a, moun ki rete nan sa ki te sou mòn Siyon an, moun ki va chape anba lanmò pami sa ki te lavil Jerizalèm lan, y'a rele yo: moun Bondye mete apa pou li. Bondye va kite yo viv lavil Jerizalèm.
And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, 'Holy' is said of him, Of every one who is written for life in Jerusalem.
4 Lè Bondye va lave malpwòpte medam yo t'ap fè nan lavil la, lè l'a lave tout san ki te koule nan lavil Jerizalèm, Bondye pral rann jijman, li pral pini lavil la.
If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 Lajounen, Seyè a va voye yon gwo nwaj vin poze sou tout mòn Siyon an ak sou tout moun ki sanble la a. Lannwit, se va lafimen ak yon gwo flanm dife la voye. Pouvwa Bondye a pral kouvri yo, l'ap pwoteje tout lavil la.
Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,
6 Lajounen, l'ap kouvri lavil la pou chalè solèy pa bat li. L'ap pwoteje l' pou loray ak lapli pa fè l' anyen.
And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
