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 bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols were on the beasts, and on the cattle: your carriages were heavy laden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
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 stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone 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, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
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.
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will 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, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
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 lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yes, they 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 bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he stands; from his place shall he not remove: yes, one shall cry to him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Pa janm bliye sa! Mete gason sou nou! Nou menm k'ap fè peche, kalkile tou sa nou fè!
Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O 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 the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; 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.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
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.
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country: yes, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also 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 stouthearted, that are far 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 bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
