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 is bowed downe: Nebo is fallen: their idoles were vpon the beastes, and vpon the cattell: they which did beare you, were laden with a wearie burden.
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.
They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.
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:
Heare ye me, O house of Iaakob, and all that remaine of the house of Israel, which are borne of me from the wombe, and brought vp of me from the 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.
Therefore vnto olde age, I the same, euen I will beare you vntill the hoare heares: I haue made you: I will also beare you, and I will cary you and I will deliuer 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 ye make me like or make me equall, or copare me, that I should be like him?
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 draw gold out of the bagge and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god of it, and they bowe downe, and worship it.
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 beare it vpon the shoulders: they carie him and set him in his place: so doeth he stand, and cannot remoue from his place. Though one crie vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor deliuer him out of his tribulation.
8 Pa janm bliye sa! Mete gason sou nou! Nou menm k'ap fè peche, kalkile tou sa nou fè!
Remember this, and be ashamed: bring it againe to minde, O you transgressers.
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 the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none other God, and there is nothing 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.
Which declare the last thing from the beginning: and from of olde, the things that were not done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I will doe whatsoeuer I will.
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 call a birde from the East, and the man of my counsell from farre: as I haue spoken, so will I bring it to passe: I haue purposed it, and I will doe it.
12 Koute sa m'ap di nou, bann tèt di, nou menm ki pa soti pou fè sa ki dwat:
Heare me, ye stubburne hearted, that are farre from iustice.
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 bring neere my iustice: it shall not be farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie: for I wil giue saluation in Zion, and my glory vnto Israel.
