Ezayi 25
1 O SENYÈ, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va leve Ou byen wo! Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, paske Ou te fè gwo mèvèy; plan yo ki te fòme depi lontan, avèk tout fidelite ak verite.
O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name, For thou hast done wonderful things; Thine ancient purposes are faithfulness and truth.
2 Paske Ou te fè yon gran vil vin tounen yon gwo pil wòch, yon vil byen fòtifye vin detwi nèt. Yon palè pou etranje yo pa yon vil ankò; li p ap janm rebati.
Thou hast made the city a heap; The fortified city a ruin. The palace of the barbarians is to be no more a city! It shall never be built again.
3 Akoz sa, yon pèp byen fò va bay Ou glwa. Gran vil a nasyon ki mechan yo va fè Ou omaj.
Therefore shall mighty kingdoms praise thee; The cities of the terrible nations shall honor thee;
4 Ou te toujou yon abri pou sila ki san sekou yo; yon defans pou malere nan gwo twoub la, yon pwotèj kont tanpèt, lonbraj kont chalè. Paske souf a mechan yo se tankou gwo tanpèt lapli kont yon miray.
For thou hast been a defence to the poor; A defence to the needy in his distress; A refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, When the rage of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
5 Tankou chalè nan gwo sechrès, Ou fè bese zen a etranje yo; tankou chalè toupre lonbraj a yon nwaj, chanson a malveyan an vin bese ba.
As heat in a dry land is made to vanish, So thou puttest down the tumult of the barbarians; As heat is allayed by a thick cloud, So the triumph of the tyrants is brought low.
6 SENYÈ dèzame yo va prepare yon gwo bankè pou tout pèp sou mòn sa a; yon bankè diven rasi, mòso chwazi ak mwèl zo, diven byen rafine.
Then in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts prepare for all nations A feast of fat things, and wines kept on the lees; Of fat things full of marrow, of wines kept on the lees well refined.
7 Sou mòn sa a, Li va vale nèt kouvèti pwotèj ki sou tout pèp yo, menm vwal la ki tann sou tout nasyon yo.
He will destroy in this mountain the covering that was cast over all people, And the veil that was spread over all nations.
8 Li te vale lanmò jis pou tout tan! Senyè BONDYE a va siye tout dlo nan zye a tout moun e li va retire repwòch a pèp Li a sou tout latè. Paske SENYÈ a te pale.
He will destroy death forever; The Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces, And the reproach of his people will he take away from the whole earth; For Jehovah hath said it.
9 Konsa, li va pale nan jou sa a, “Gade byen, sa se Bondye nou an! Sila nou te tann pou L te ka sove nou an! Sa se SENYÈ a! Sila nou t ap tann nan! Annou rejwi e fè kè kontan nan sali Li a!”
In that day shall men say, “Behold, this is our God; We waited for him, and he hath saved us; This is Jehovah, for whom we waited; Let us rejoice and exult in his salvation.”
10 Paske men SENYÈ a va rete sou mòn sa a. Epi Moab va foule kote li ye, tankou pay fin foule nan dlo a yon pil fimye.
For the hand of Jehovah shall rest upon this mountain, And Moab shall be trodden down in his place, As straw is trodden down in a dung-pool.
11 L ap ouvri men l byen gran nan mitan li kon yon moun k ap naje ta lonje men l yo pou naje; men SENYÈ a va desann ògèy li ansanm ak manèv koken a men li yo.
And he shall stretch out his hands in the midst of it, As the swimmer stretcheth out his hands to swim, But God shall put down his pride, Together with the devices of his hands.
12 L ap desann ranfòsman fò ki pa t ka menm pwoche la, li va anile yo, bese yo e jete yo atè, jis rive nan pousyè.
And the high bulwarks of thy walls will he lay low; He will bring them down to the ground; he will lay them in the dust.
