Ezayi 62
1 Jan m' renmen mòn Siyon sa a! Se pou m' pale. Jan m' renmen lavil Jerizalèm sa a, mwen p'ap pran kanpo, jouk delivrans li va parèt tankou limyè solèy k'ap leve, tankou flanbo k'ap klere nan fènwa.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Jerizalèm, tout nasyon yo va wè delivrans ou. Tout wa yo pral wè pouvwa ou. Y'a ba ou yon lòt non, non Seyè a menm va chwazi pou ou a.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 W'a tankou yon bèl kouwòn nan men Seyè a, tankou yon bèl foula nan men Bondye ou la.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 Yo p'ap rele ou ti mepriz ankò. Yo p'ap konsidere peyi ou la tankou yon madanm mari l' kite l'. Y'a rele ou Kè kontan pou Bondye. Y'a rele peyi ou la Bèl madan marye. Paske ou fè Seyè a plezi, l'ap tankou yon mari pou peyi ou la.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Menm jan yon jenn gason marye ak yon jenn fi, Seyè a pral marye avè ou. Menm jan yon nonm marye kontan madanm li, Bondye ou la pral kontan ou
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Jerizalèm, mwen mete gad ap fè pòs sou miray ou yo. Lajounen kou lannwit, se pou yo pale. Se pou yo fè Seyè a chonje pwomès li te fè ou yo, pou li pa janm bliye ou.
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 Se pou yo kenbe l' kout jouk l'a fè lavil Jerizalèm kanpe ankò, pou toupatou sou latè y'a fè lwanj pou li.
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 Seyè a fè sèman, l'ap kenbe l' avèk fòs ponyèt li. -Mwen p'ap lage farin ble nou an nan men lènmi nou yo pou yo manje l'. Mwen p'ap kite moun lòt nasyon yo bwè diven nou te fatige kò nou fè ak kouraj nou.
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 Men, nou menm ki te ranmase rekòt grenn yo, se nou ki va manje yo, lèfini n'a fè lwanj Seyè a. Se nou menm ki va bwè diven nan lakou kay ki apa pou Bondye a.
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, pase nan pòtay la, soti nan lavil la. Al pare wout la pou pèp la tounen. Ranbleye! Wete wòch sou tout wout la! Leve drapo a, fè tout nasyon yo siyon!
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Seyè a pral fè tout latè a konnen nouvèl la: -Di moun lavil ki sou mòn Siyon an: Men moun ki delivre nou an ap vini. L'ap mennen moun li sove yo avè l'. Y'ap mache devan l'. Se rekonpans li, se rezilta travay li.
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 Y'a rele nou pèp ki apa pou Bondye a, pèp Bondye delivre a. Y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm lavil Bondye renmen an, lavil Bondye p'ap janm lage a.
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
