< Ezayi 49 >
1 Nou menm ki rete nan zile yo, koute sa m'ap di nou! Nou menm ki rete byen lwen yo, pare zòrèy nou! Depi m' fèt, Seyè a chwazi m'! Depi nan vant manman m', li rele m' pou m' sèvi l'.
Ilis, here ye, and puplis afer, perseyue ye; the Lord clepide me fro the wombe, he thouyte on my name fro the wombe of my modir.
2 Li mete nan bouch mwen pawòl ki tankou kouto byen file. Li pwoteje m' avèk fòs li. Li pare m' tankou yon flèch byen pwenti, li sere m' nan sakit li.
And he hath set my mouth as a scharp swerd, he defendide me in the schadewe of his hond, and settide me as a chosun arowe; he hidde me in his arowe caas,
3 Li di m': Izrayèl, se sèvitè m' ou ye! W'ap sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen!
and seide to me, Israel, thou art my seruaunt, for Y schal haue glorie in thee.
4 Mwen menm, mwen t'ap di nan kè m': Se pou dan ri m'ap fatige kò m'. Se pou gremesi mwen travay jouk mwen fèb. Men, m'ap toujou gen konfyans: Seyè a va ban m' rezon. Rekonpans mwen la byen sere nan men Seyè a.
And Y seide, Y trauelide in veyn, Y wastide my strengthe with out cause, and veynli; therfor my doom is with the Lord, and my werk is with my God.
5 Se Seyè a menm ki chwazi m' depi m' fèt pou m' sèvi l', pou m' fè fanmi Jakòb la tounen vin jwenn li, pou m' sanble pèp Izrayèl la mennen ba li. Seyè a ban m' bèl pozisyon sa a. Se li ki tout fòs mwen.
And now the Lord, formynge me a seruaunt to hym silf fro the wombe, seith these thingis, that Y brynge ayen Jacob to hym. And Israel schal not be gaderid togidere; and Y am glorified in the iyen of the Lord, and my God is maad my strengthe.
6 Seyè a di m' konsa: Wi, sèvitè m' lan va fè fanmi Jakòb la kanpe ankò. L'a fè ti rès pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte a tounen lakay yo. Men, se poko sa toujou. M'ap fè li sèvi tankou yon limyè pou lòt nasyon yo, pou dènye moun sou latè ka konnen ki jan mwen menm mwen delivre!
And he seyde, It is litil, that thou be a seruaunt to me, to reise the lynages of Jacob, and to conuerte the drastis of Israel; Y yaf thee in to the liyt of hethene men, that thou be myn helthe `til to the laste part of erthe.
7 Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa, Seyè k'ap delivre yo a, l'ap pale ak pèp tout moun ap meprize a, pèp nasyon yo pa vle wè a, pèp ki esklav chèf k'ap gouvènen yo a. Li di yo: Wa va leve kanpe lè y'a wè ou. Chèf va ajenou devan ou. Y'a fè sa poutèt Seyè a k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li, poutèt Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te chwazi ou.
The Lord, ayenbiere of Israel, the hooli therof, seith these thingis to a dispisable soule, and to a folk had in abhomynacioun, to the seruaunt of lordis, Kyngis schulen se, and princes schulen rise togidere, and schulen worschipe, for the Lord, for he is feithful, and for the hooli of Israel, that chees thee.
8 Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a: -Lè lè a va rive pou m' fè ou gras, m'a reponn ou. Lè jou a va rive pou m' delivre ou, m'a pote ou sekou. Se mwen ki te fè ou, se mwen ki te chwazi ou pou ou siyen yon kontra ak tout pèp yo. M'a fè peyi a kanpe ankò. N'a tounen viv nan peyi yo te ban nou an, peyi yo te devaste a.
The Lord seith these thingis, In a plesaunt tyme Y herde thee, and in the dai of helthe Y helpide thee; and Y kepte thee, and yaf thee in to a bonde of pees of the puple, that thou schuldist reise the erthe, and haue in possessioun eritagis, `that ben distried;
9 M'a di prizonye yo al lakay nou! M'a di moun ki te chita nan fènwa yo: Soti vin nan limyè a. Sou tout wout yo, y'a jwenn manje pou yo manje. Tankou mouton, y'a jwenn manje sou tout ti mòn.
that thou schuldist seie to hem that ben boundun, Go ye out, and to hem that ben in derknessis, Be ye schewid. Thei schulen be fed on weies, and the lesewis of hem schulen be in alle pleyn thingis.
10 Yo p'ap janm grangou, yo p'ap janm swaf dlo. Chalè solèy ak van dezè p'ap fè yo anyen. Paske se moun ki renmen yo a k'ap kondi yo. L'a mennen yo kote ki gen sous dlo.
Thei schulen not hungre, and thei schulen no more thirste, and heete, and the sunne schal not smyte hem; for the merciful doere of hem schal gouerne hem, and schal yyue drynk to hem at the wellis of watris.
11 M'a louvri yon bèl chemen nan mòn yo. M'a pare wout sou tout mòn yo pou pèp la.
And Y schal sette alle myn hillis in to weie, and my pathis schulen be enhaunsid.
12 Gen ladan yo k'ap soti byen lwen. Gen sa k'ap soti nan nò. Gen sa k'ap soti bò solèy kouche. Gen lòt k'ap soti lavil Sinim nan sid.
Lo! these men schulen come fro fer, and lo! thei schulen come fro the north, and see, and these fro the south lond.
13 Se pou syèl la kontan! Se pou tè a fè fèt! Se pou mòn yo rele tèlman yo kontan! Paske Seyè a pral bay pèp li a kouraj, l'ap gen pitye pou pèp li a ki nan lapenn.
Heuenes, herie ye, and, thou erthe, make ful out ioie; hillis, synge ye hertli heriyng; for the Lord coumfortide his puple, and schal haue merci on hise pore men.
14 Men, pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan t'ap di: -Seyè a lage nou. Mèt la bliye nou.
And Syon seide, The Lord hath forsake me, and the Lord hath foryete me.
15 Seyè a reponn: -Eske yon manman ka bliye pitit l'ap bay tete a? Eske li ka pa sansib pou pitit li pote nan vant li a? Menm si yon manman ta rive bliye pitit li, mwen menm, mwen p'ap janm bliye nou!
Whether a womman may foryete hir yonge child, that sche haue not merci on the sone of hir wombe? thouy sche foryetith, netheles Y schal not foryete thee.
16 Mwen ekri non nou nan pla men m'. Mwen toujou wè miray nou yo devan je m'.
Lo! Y haue write thee in myn hondis; thi wallis ben euer bifore myn iyen.
17 Moun ki pral rebati lavil la ap vin talè konsa. Moun ki t'ap kraze nou yo, ki t'ap piye nou yo, pral kouri met deyò.
The bilderis ben comun; thei that distrien thee, and scateren, schulen go awei fro thee.
18 Voye je nou toupatou. Gade sa k'ap pase. Tout moun nou yo ap sanble, y'ap vin jwenn nou. Jan nou konnen mwen vivan an, mwen fè sèman: Nou pral kontan wè yo lakay nou, tankou lè lamarye kontan wè bèl rad nòs li sou li. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Reise thin iyen in cumpas, and se; alle these men ben gaderid togidere, thei ben comun to thee. Y lyue, seith the Lord, for thou schalt be clothid with alle these as with an ournement, and thou as a spousesse schalt bynde hem to thee.
19 Peyi nou an te fin kraze. Peyi a te fin ravaje. Men, koulye a li pral twò piti pou kantite moun k'ap rete ladan l'. Paske moun ki t'ap fini ak peyi a, yo pral voye yo jete byen lwen nou.
For whi thi desertis, and thi wildirnessis, and the lond of thi fallyng now schulen be streit for enhabiteris; and thei schulen be dryuun awei fer, that swolewiden thee.
20 Yon lè, pitit nou te kwè ki te pèdi nèt yo, n'a tande yo ap pale nan zòrèy nou, y'a di nou: Peyi a twò piti pou nou. Ban nou kote pou nou rete.
Yit the sones of thi bareynesse schulen seie in thin eeris, The place is streit to me, make thou a space to me for to dwelle.
21 Lè sa a, n'a di nan kè nou! -Kilès ki te fè tout pitit sa yo pou nou? Nou te pèdi tout pitit nou yo. Nou pa t' kapab fè pitit ankò. Yo te depòte nou, yo te vire do ban nou. Ki moun ki te elve tout pitit sa yo pou nou? Nou te pou kò nou. Kote yo soti menm?
And thou schalt seie in thin herte, Who gendride these sones to me? Y am bareyn, not berynge child; Y am led ouer, and prisoner; and who nurschide these sones? Y am destitute, and aloone; and where weren these?
22 Men sa Seyè a, Bondye a, di ankò: M'ap fè nasyon yo siyon ak men m'. M'ap leve drapo m' pou m' avèti pèp yo. Se yo menm ankò ki pral pran pitit gason nou yo sou do yo, k'ap mete pitit fi nou yo sou zepòl yo pou mennen yo tounen lakay nou.
The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y reise myn hond to hethene men, and Y schal enhaunce my signe to puplis; and thei schulen brynge thi sones in armes, and thei schulen bere thi douytris on shuldris.
23 Wa yo pral tankou papa pou nou. Pitit fi wa yo pral sèvi nou nouris. Y'ap ajenou devan nou, y'ap bese tèt yo jouk atè, Y'a niche pousyè ki nan pye nou. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Moun ki mete tout espwa yo nan mwen p'ap janm wont.
And kingis shulen be thi nurseris, and quenys shulen be thi nursis; with cheer cast doun in to erthe thei schulen worschipe thee, and thei schulen licke the dust of thi feet; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord, on whom thei schulen not be schent, that abiden hym.
24 Eske ou ka wete nan men yon vanyan gason bagay li pran nan lagè? Eske ou ka lage prizonye ki anba men gwo chèf?
Whether prey schal be takun awei fro a strong man? ether that that is takun of a stalworthe man, mai be saaf?
25 Men sa Seyè a reponn: Wi! Yo ka wete nan men yon vanyan sòlda sa li pran nan lagè. Yo ka lage prizonye ki anba men yon gwo chèf. M'ap goumen pou nou ak tout moun k'ap fè nou lagè. M'a delivre pitit nou yo.
For the Lord seith these thingis, Sotheli and caitifte schal be takun awey fro the stronge man, and that that is takun awei of a stalworthe man, schal be saued. Forsothe Y schal deme hem, that demyden thee, and Y schal saue thi sones.
26 Moun k'ap fè nou pase tray yo, m'ap fè yo yonn manje lòt. Y'ap bwè pwòp san yo jouk y'a sou tankou moun ki bwè diven. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap sove nou. Se mwen menm, Bondye fanmi Jakòb la, Bondye ki gen pouvwa a, k'ap delivre nou.
And Y schal fede thin enemyes with her fleischis, and thei schulen be greetli fillid with her blood as with must; and eche man schal wite, that Y am the Lord, sauynge thee, and thin ayenbiere, the strong of Jacob.
