Ezayi 52
1 Leve non, mòn Siyon! Leve non! Mete kouraj ou sou ou! Mete pi bèl rad ou sou ou, ou menm Jerizalèm, lavil Bondye a! Paske moun lòt nasyon yo, ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye, p'ap janm mete pye lakay ou ankò.
Awake, awake, Sion; put on your strength, O Sion; and o you put on your glory, Jerusalem the holy city: there shall no more pass through you, the uncircumcised and unclean.
2 Ou menm lavil Jerizalèm ki nan prizon, souke pousyè ki sou ou, leve atè a, chita sou fòtèy ou! Wete chenn yo te pase nan kou ou yo, ou menm mòn Siyon ki te nan prizon!
Shake off the dust and arise; sit down, Jerusalem: put off the band of your neck, captive daughter of Sion.
3 Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a. -Yo pa t' bay lajan pou achte nou lè nou te tounen esklav. Yo p'ap bay lajan non plis pou delivre nou lè y'a lage nou.
For thus says the Lord, You have been sold for nothing; and you shall not be ransomed with silver.
4 Men sa Seyè a, Bondye a, di: -Nan tan lontan, pèp mwen an te desann al rete nan peyi Lejip. Apre sa, Lasiri fè yo pase kont mizè yo pou anyen.
Thus says the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians.
5 Koulye a, sa pou m' fè la a? Se Seyè a menm k'ap di sa. Yo pran pèp mwen an, yo depòte yo pou anyen. Moun k'ap kraze yo a ap pale fò, y'ap fè grandizè. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Epi tout lajounen, san rete y'ap trennen non m' nan labou.
And now why are you here? Thus says the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder you and howl. Thus says the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
6 Men jou sa a, pèp mwen an va rekonèt se mwen menm Bondye, ki pale ak nou! Men mwen!
Therefore shall my people know my name in that day, for I am he that speaks: I am present,
7 Ala bèl sa bèl lè ou wè sou mòn yo mesaje a k'ap kouri pote bon nouvèl k'ap bay kè poze a! L'ap fè konnen delivrans Bondye a. L'ap di moun Siyon yo: Se Bondye ou la k'ap gouvènen!
as a season of beauty upon the mountains, as the feet of one preaching glad tidings of peace, as one preaching good news: for I will publish your salvation, saying, O Sion, your God shall reign.
8 Faksyonnè ou yo ap rele. Y'ap rele ansanm tèlman yo kontan. Y'ap wè, se ak pwòp je yo y'a wè Seyè a k'ap tounen sou mòn Siyon an!
For the voice of them that guard you is exalted, and with the voice together they shall rejoice: for eyes shall look to eyes, when the Lord shall have mercy upon Sion.
9 Pete rele, fè fèt ansanm, nou menm vye miray mazi lavil Jerizalèm yo! Paske Seyè a bay pèp li a kouraj ankò, li delivre lavil Jerizalèm.
Let the waste places of Jerusalem break forth [in] joy together, because the Lord has had mercy upon her, and has delivered Jerusalem.
10 Seyè a fè tout nasyon yo wè fòs kouraj li ki apa nèt la. Toupatou sou latè yo wè jan Bondye nou an ap delivre pèp li a.
And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.
11 Wete kò nou nan lavil Babilòn! Wete kò nou! Pati ale! Pa manyen anyen nou pa dwe manyen! Wete kò nou nan mitan lavil la. Mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye, nou menm k'ap pote veso ki apa pou sèvis Seyè a.
Depart you, depart, go out from thence, and touch not the unclean thing; go you out from the midst of her; separate yourselves, you that bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 Fwa sa a, nou pa bezwen prese kouri ale. Nou p'ap fè tankou moun k'ap kouri chape poul yo. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pran devan nou. Se li menm tou, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap mache dèyè pou pwoteje nou.
For you shall not go forth with tumult, neither go by flight: for the Lord shall go first in advance of you; and the God of Israel shall be he that brings up your rear.
13 Seyè a di: -Men li, sèvitè m' lan va wè tout travay li ap mache byen! L'a vin grannèg. Moun va konsidere l' anpil. Y'a pote l' anlè!
Behold, my servant shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.
14 Menm jan anpil moun te pran sezisman lè yo te wè l', sitèlman li te defigire, sitèlman figi l' pa t' sanble menm ak figi moun,
As many shall be amazed at you, so shall your face be without glory from men, and your glory [shall not be honored] by the sons of men.
15 konsa tou, anpil nasyon va kontan lè y'a wè l' fwa sa a. Wa yo va rete bouch be devan li sitèlman y'a sezi. Paske y'a wè bagay moun pa t' janm rakonte yo anvan sa, y'a konprann bagay yo pa t' janm tande anvan.
Thus shall many nations wonder at him; and kings shall keep their mouths shut: for they to whom no report was brought concerning him, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall consider.
