< 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! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
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 yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
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 the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
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.
For the Lord GOD says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
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.
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the LORD, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Men jou sa a, pèp mwen an va rekonèt se mwen menm Bondye, ki pale ak nou! Men mwen!
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
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!
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
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!
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD returns to Zion.
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.
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people. He has redeemed 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.
The LORD has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of 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! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.
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 out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
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 will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
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,
Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than 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.
so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
