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.
Adonai says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your depravities (moral evils), and your mother was put away for your rebellious breaches of relationships.
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, when I came, was there no one? when I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 Mwen kouvri syèl la ak nwaj nwa. Li tankou yon moun ki nan lapenn pou ka lanmò!
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
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.
'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to sh'ma ·hear obey· as those who are taught.
5 Seyè a, Bondye a, louvri lespri mwen, mwen pa kenbe tèt ak li. Mwen pa renka devan li.
'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
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 those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from insult and 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.
For 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
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'!
He who declares me righteous me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my mishpat · adversary·? Let him come 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, 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will help me! Who is he who will condemn me as guilty? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
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 among you fears Adonai, and sh'ma ·hears obeys· the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in Adonai’s name, and rely on his 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, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: You will lie down in sorrow.
