Ezayi 63
1 Kilès sa a k'ap vini sot lavil Bozra nan peyi Edon an, ak yon rad tou wouj sou li a? L'ap mache byen bwòdè ak bèl rad li sou li. L'ap mache tèt li byen wo, l'ap pile tè a byen fò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki gen pouvwa pou delivre moun lan, k'ap pale sou koze delivrans lan.
Who is this that is come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgement.
2 Poukisa rad sou ou yo wouj konsa, tankou rad moun k'ap kraze rezen anba pye yo pou fè diven nan basen?
Therefore are your garments red, and your raiment as [if fresh] from a trodden winepress?
3 Seyè a reponn: -Mwen te pou kont mwen ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye m', tankou rezen nan basen. Pa t' gen yon moun nan pèp mwen an ki te la avè m'. Mwen fè kòlè, mwen mache sou yo, m' pilonnen yo anba pye m' sitèlman mwen te fache. San yo benyen tout rad mwen, li tache yo byen tache.
I am full of trodden [grape], and of the nations there is not a man with me; and I trampled them in my fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.
4 Mwen te chwazi nan kè m' jou pou m' te tire revanj pou pèp mwen an. Lè pou m' te pini lènmi l' yo te rive.
For the day of recompence has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand.
5 Lè m' gade, mwen te sezi. Pa t' gen yon moun pou ban m' yon koutmen. Pa t' gen pesonn pou ban m' konkou. Men, mwen te sitèlman an kòlè, mwen jwenn kont fòs nan ponyèt mwen, mwen kenbe jouk mwen fin delivre yo.
And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld: therefore my arm delivered them, and mine anger drew near.
6 Mwen fè yon sèl kòlè, mwen kraze yon bann pèp. Mwen dechèpiye yo sitèlman mwen te fache. Mwen fè dlo kò yo benyen kò yo.
And I trampled them in mine anger, and brought down their blood to the earth.
7 M'a chante pou m' fè konnen tout bèl bagay Seyè a fè pou nou. M'a fè lwanj li pou tou sa li fè pou nou, pou jan li bon pou moun fanmi Izrayèl yo. Li moutre nou jan li gen kè sansib pou nou, jan li renmen nou anpil.
I remembered the mercy of the Lord, the praises of the Lord in all things wherein he recompenses us. The Lord is a good judge to the house of Israel; he deals with us according to his mercy, and according to the abundance of his righteousness.
8 Seyè a te di se pèp mwen yo ye, m' sèten yo p'ap fè m' wont. Se konsa, li delivre yo
And he said, Is it not my people? the children surely will not be rebellious: and he became to them deliverance
9 nan tout tèt chaje yo. Se pa t' yon moun ni yon zanj li te voye fè travay la pou li. Se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Li sitèlman renmen yo, kè l' sitèlman fè l' mal pou yo, se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Nan tan lontan, li te toujou pran swen yo.
out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.
10 Men, yo te fè wòklò avè l', yo te fè l' lapenn anpil. Se konsa Seyè a te tounen yon lènmi pou yo, li fè yo lagè.
But they disobeyed, and provoked his Holy Spirit: so he turned to be an enemy, he himself contended against them.
11 Men, yo chonje tan lontan, yo vin chonje Moyiz. Yo mande koulye a: Kote Bondye ki te rale yo sot nan lanmè a, Bondye ki te mete Moyiz mache devan yo tankou yon gadò pou bann mouton l' yo? Kote Bondye ki te bay Moyiz pouvwa lespri li a?
Then he remembered the ancient days, [saying], Where is he that brought up from the sea the shepherd of the sheep? where is he that put his Holy Spirit in them?
12 Kote Bondye ki te kanpe sou bò dwat Moyiz la pou fè gwo mèvèy ak fòs ponyèt li, lè li te fann dlo a devan yo pou tout moun te ka toujou chonje sa l' te fè a?
who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.
13 Lè Bondye te fè yo mache nan fon lanmè a tankou chwal nan sab dezè, san yo pa janm bite,
He led them through the deep, as a horse through the wilderness, and they fainted not,
14 tankou bèf k'ap desann nan plenn pou y' al manje, lespri Seyè a te mennen yo kote pou yo poze. Wi, se konsa Seyè a te mache devan pèp li a, pou tout moun te ka toujou nonmen non l' pou jan li gen pouvwa.
and as cattle through a plain: the Spirit came down from the Lord, and guided them: thus you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
15 Seyè, antan ou nan syèl la, nan bèl kay ki apa pou ou a, tanpri, voye je ou gade nou non! Jan ou te fè jalouzi pou nou sa a! Jan ou te kanpe pou nou ak kouraj ou sa a! Jan ou te renmen nou sa a! Jan ou te konn gen pitye pou nou sa a! Kote ou kite tou sa? Gen lè ou fèmen kè ou!
Turn from heaven, and look from your holy habitation and [from] your glory: where is your zeal and your strength? where is the abundance of your mercy and of your compassions, that you have withholden yourself from us?
16 Se ou menm ki papa nou. Abraram pa konnen nou. Izrayèl pa rekonèt nou! Se ou menm, Seyè, ki papa nou. Se ou menm ki toujou delivre nou!
For you are our Father; for [though] Abraham knew us not, and Israel did not acknowledge us, yet do you, O Lord, our Father, deliver us: your name has been upon us from the beginning.
17 Poukisa atò ou kite nou pèdi chemen ou te mete devan nou an, ou kite nou lage kò nou nan raje? Poukisa ou kite nou fè tèt di, ou kite nou pèdi krentif nou te gen pou ou a? Tanpri, tounen vin jwenn nou non, poutèt moun k'ap sèvi ou yo, poutèt pèp ki toujou moun pa ou la!
Why have you caused us to err, O Lord, from your way? [and] has hardened our hearts, that we should not fear you? Return for your servants' sake, for the sake of the tribes of your inheritance,
18 Nou poko chita, lènmi nou yo te gen tan pran peyi a nan men nou, yo derespekte tanp ou a.
that we may inherit a small part of your holy mountain.
19 Depi kèk tan ou sèvi ak nou tankou si se pa ou ki chèf nou ankò, tankou si nou pa pèp ou a ankò.
We are become as at the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and your name was not called upon us.
