Ezayi 50
1 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Si m' te voye manman nou tounen lakay li, kote papye divòs mwen te ba li? Ki moun mwen te dwe lajan pou m' ta vann nou ba li tankou esklav? Se poutèt mechanste nou yo mwen te vann nou. Se poutèt peche nou yo mwen te voye manman nou tounen lakay li.
Thus says the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put her away? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, you are sold for your sins, and for your iniquities have I put your mother away.
2 Poukisa, atò, lè mwen vin delivre nou an, pa gen pesonn ki vini jwenn mwen? Poukisa, lè m' rele nou, pesonn pa reponn? Eske se fòs mwen pa gen fòs ase pou m' delivre nou? Eske ponyèt mwen twò fèb pou m' sove nou? Se konnen nou pa konnen mwen annik louvri bouch mwen epi tout dlo lanmè cheche, tout larivyè tounen ravin chèch, tout pwason mouri paske yo pa jwenn dlo. Y'ap pouri.
Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to listen? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.
3 Mwen kouvri syèl la ak nwaj nwa. Li tankou yon moun ki nan lapenn pou ka lanmò!
I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.
4 Seyè a moutre m' sa pou m' di, pou m' ka ankouraje moun ki pa kapab ankò. Chak maten li louvri zòrèy mwen, pou m' ka tande sa li pral moutre m', jan yon bon patizan fèt pou fè.
The Lord [even] God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:
5 Seyè a, Bondye a, louvri lespri mwen, mwen pa kenbe tèt ak li. Mwen pa renka devan li.
and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.
6 Mwen pare do m' bay moun k'ap bat mwen yo. Mwen lonje figi m' bay moun k'ap rache bab mwen yo. Mwen pa kache figi m' lè y'ap joure m', lè y'ap krache sou mwen.
I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting:
7 Seyè a, Bondye a, ap pote m' sekou. Se poutèt sa, jouman yo pa ka fè m' anyen. Mwen sere dan m', mwen mare kè m' pou m' soufri. Mwen sèten, Bondye p'ap fè m' wont.
but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,
8 Moun ki pral rann mwen jistis la pa lwen rive. Ki moun ki vle plede ak mwen? Ann konparèt ansanm devan tribinal la? Kilès ki vle rele m' lajistis? Se pou l' vin kanpe la devan m'!
for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yes, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw near to me.
9 Se Seyè a menm, Bondye a, k'ap pote m' sekou. Ki moun ki ka fè yo kondannen m'? Tout moun k'ap akize m' yo pral disparèt. Y'ap tankou yon rad vèmen ap devore.
Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all you shall wax old as a garment, and a moth shall devour you.
10 Nou tout ki gen krentif pou Seyè a, nou tout k'ap koute pawòl sèvitè li a, nou wè jan chemen m'ap swiv la fè nwa san yon ti limyè ladan l'. Se pou nou met konfyans nou nan Seyè a. Apiye sou Bondye nou an!
Who is amongst you that fears the Lord? let him listen to the voice of his servant: you that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God.
11 Men nou tout k'ap pouse dife, k'ap fè plan pou detwi lòt moun, se nou menm ki pral boule nan dife nou limen an, se nou menm ki pral pran nan plan n'ap fè yo. Se Seyè a menm ki pral fè sa rive nou: Nou pral tòde ak doulè nan kabann nou.
Behold, you all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which you have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; you shall lie down in sorrow.
