Ezayi 26
1 Nan jou sa a, chanson sa a va chante nan peyi Juda: “Nou gen yon vil ki fò; li monte miray ak ranfò pou sekirite.
In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Ouvri pòtay yo pou nasyon ladwati a ka antre; sila ki rete fidèl la.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3 Sila ki rete fèm nan panse li yo, Ou va kenbe nan lapè pafè, akoz li gen konfyans nan Ou.
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4 Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan, paske nan BONDYE SENYÈ a, nou gen yon Wòch etènèl.
Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
5 Paske Li te bese sila ki te rete anwo yo, vil ki pa t kapab venk lan. Li te desann li ba. Li te desann li jis atè. Li te jete li nan pousyè.
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings it even to the dust.
6 Pye va foule l, pye a malere a, pla pye a sila ki san sekou yo.”
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy.”
7 Chemen moun jis se ladwati. O Sila Ki Dwat la, fè wout a moun dwat yo a byen pla.
The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8 Anverite, selon jijman Ou yo, O SENYÈ, nou t ap tann Ou. Non Ou, menm memwa Ou, se dezi a nanm nou.
Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9 Nan lannwit, nanm mwen anvi Ou. Anverite, lespri m anndan mwen chache Ou ak enpasyans; paske lè jijman Ou yo rive sou latè, sila ki rete ladann yo, aprann ladwati.
With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Malgre mechan an ta jwenn favè, li pa p aprann ladwati. Li aji ak enjistis nan peyi ladwati. Konsa, li p ap janm wè majeste Senyè a.
Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
11 O SENYÈ, men Ou leve wo, men yo pa wè li; men yo va wè zèl Ou pou pèp la e y ap vin wont. Anverite, dife va devore lènmi Ou yo.
LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 SENYÈ, Ou va etabli lapè pou nou, akoz ou te akonpli pou nou tout zèv nou yo.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13 O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, lòt mèt apà de ou te gouvène nou; men se non Ou sèl, ke nap konfese.
LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
14 Sila ki mouri yo p ap viv. Lespri ki pati yo p ap leve ankò. Konsa, Ou te pini yo, detwi yo e Ou te efase tout memwa a yo menm.
The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15 Ou te ogmante nasyon an, O SENYÈ, Ou te agrandi nasyon an! Ou leve wo! Ou te fè tout lizyè peyi a vin pi laj.
You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 O SENYÈ, nan mitan gwo twoub yo, yo te chache Ou. Yo pa t ka fè plis pase respire yon priyè le chatiman Ou te sou yo.
LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 Tankou fanm ansent k ap pwoche tan pou akouche; li vire kò l e li rele anmwey nan doulè ansent lan; se konsa nou te ye devan Ou, O SENYÈ.
Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.
18 Nou te ansent, nou te vire kò, men nou pa t bay nesans a plis ke van. Nou pa t ka akonpli delivrans sou tè a, ni pitit mond yo pa t tonbe.
We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Moun mouri Ou yo va viv; kadav pa yo va leve. Nou menm ki kouche nan pousyè a, leve e fè kri lajwa, paske lawouze ou se lawouze solèy leve a, e latè va bay nesans a lespri ki te pati yo.
Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20 Vini, pèp mwen an, antre nan chanm nou e fèmen pòt nou dèyè nou. Kache pou yon ti tan jiskaske gwo kòlè a fin pase.
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21 Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou sòti nan plas Li, pou pini sila ki rete sou latè yo pou inikite yo. Konsa, latè va fè parèt tout san vèse li yo, e li p ap kache mò li yo ankò.
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
