Ezayi 46
1 Bèl ak Nebo, zidòl moun Babilòn yo, fini. Y'ap mete estati yo sou do bèt. Zidòl nou te konn ap leve anlè nan posesyon yo tounen yon chay lou sou do bèt yo ki tou bouke.
Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
2 Ni bèt yo, ni zidòl yo tonbe ansanm atè a. Zidòl yo pa ka delivre ata bèt k'ap pote yo a. Lènmi ap depòte yo tankou moun yo fè prizonye.
The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
3 Nou menm fanmi Jakòb yo, ti rès ki rete nan fanmi Izrayèl la, nou menm mwen te pote nan men depi jou nou te fèt la, nou menm mwen te soutni depi nan vant manman nou an, koute sa m'ap di nou byen:
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
4 M'ap toujou aji konsa ak nou jouk n'a vye granmoun. M'ap toujou soutni nou jouk n'a gen cheve blan. M'a pote nou nan men m' jan m' te toujou fè l' la. M'a pran nou sou kont mwen, m'a delivre nou.
Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
5 Ak ki moun nou ta konpare m'? Ki moun nou ka di ki sanble m'? Ki moun nou ka mete bò kote m' ki tankou m'?
To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
6 Gen moun ki pran lò nan pòch yo, yo peze ajan nan balans, yo peye yon òfèv pou fè yon bondye pou yo. Lèfini, yo mete ajenou devan l', yo adore l'.
They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
7 Yo leve l' mete sou zepòl yo, yo pote l' ale. Yo mete l' kanpe yon kote, epi li rete la. Kote yo mete l' la, li pa ka deplase. Yo mèt lapriyè nan pye l' kont kò yo, li pa ka reponn! Li pa ka delivre yo lè yo nan tray.
They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
8 Pa janm bliye sa! Mete gason sou nou! Nou menm k'ap fè peche, kalkile tou sa nou fè!
Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 Chonje tou sa ki te rive nan tan lontan. Rekonèt se mwen menm sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt! Se mwen sèl ki Bondye. Nanpwen tankou m'!
Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
10 Depi nan konmansman, mwen te di jan sa pral ye. Depi davans mwen te fè nou konnen sa ki tapral rive. Mwen te di plan travay mwen gen pou rive fèt vre. M'ap fè tou sa mwen te vle fè a.
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
11 Mwen rele yon nonm mwen te chwazi soti nan yon peyi byen lwen bò solèy leve. Tankou yon malfini, li pral vini, li pral fè travay mwen ba l' fè a. Depi mwen di yon bagay, se pou l' fèt. Depi mwen fè lide fè yon bagay, fòk li fèt.
I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.
12 Koute sa m'ap di nou, bann tèt di, nou menm ki pa soti pou fè sa ki dwat:
Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
13 M'ap fè jou delivrans nou an pwoche. Li pa lwen rive. Mwen p'ap mize vin delivre nou. Mwen pral delivre mòn Siyon. Mwen pral fè pèp Izrayèl la wè pouvwa mwen.
I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
