Ezayi 64
1 Si ou te ka chire syèl la desann! Mòn yo ta annik wè ou, yo ta pran tranble.
If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
2 Yo ta moute desann tankou dlo k'ap bouyi sou gwo dife bwa. Desann non pou fè lènmi ou yo konnen ki moun ou ye, pou fè tout nasyon yo tranble devan ou!
as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
3 Yon lè, ou te desann, ou te fè yon bann bagay nou pa t'ap tann, bagay ki fè moun pè: mòn yo te wè sa, yo te pran tranble.
When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
4 Pesonn pa janm wè ni yo pa janm tande yon Bondye tankou ou ki ka fè tou sa pou moun ki met espwa yo nan li.
From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
5 Men, ou louvri bra ou pou ou resevwa moun ki te kontan mache dwat devan ou yo, moun ki te mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo epi ki pa janm bliye ou yo. Men, ou te move dèske nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal. Sa lakòz n'ap soufri jouk jou w'a vin delivre nou.
You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
6 Nou tout nou te tankou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Tou sa nou t'ap fè ki byen te tankou rad sou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Akòz peche nou yo, nou te tankou fèy chèch van ap bwote.
Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
7 Pesonn pa lapriyè ou ankò! Pesonn pa chonje reve vin mande ou sekou. Ou vire do ban nou. Ou lage nou, ou kite peche nou yo fini ak nou.
No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
8 Men, Seyè, se ou ki papa nou! Se tè krich nou ye. Se ou menm k'ap ban nou fòm. Se ou menm ki te fè nou ak men ou.
But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
9 Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache tout fache sa a ak nou ankò! Pa kenbe nou nan kè ou poutèt peche nou yo! Se pèp pa ou la menm nou te ye! Tanpri, pitye pou nou!
Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
10 Lavil yo mete apa pou ou yo rete san moun ladan yo. Mòn Siyon an tankou yon dezè. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon savann.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Tanp nou an, bèl kay yo te mete apa pou ou a, kay kote tout zansèt nou yo t'ap fè lwanj ou a, dife fin boule sa. Tout bèl kote nou te renmen yo fin kraze.
Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
12 Seyè, tou sa pa di ou anyen? Ou p'ap fè anyen pou nou? Ou pral kite nou soufri jouk nou p'ap kapab ankò?
After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
