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 shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
2 Ouvri pòtay yo pou nasyon ladwati a ka antre; sila ki rete fidèl la.
Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
3 Sila ki rete fèm nan panse li yo, Ou va kenbe nan lapè pafè, akoz li gen konfyans nan Ou.
By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
4 Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan, paske nan BONDYE SENYÈ a, nou gen yon Wòch etènèl.
Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
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 hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
6 Pye va foule l, pye a malere a, pla pye a sila ki san sekou yo.”
The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
7 Chemen moun jis se ladwati. O Sila Ki Dwat la, fè wout a moun dwat yo a byen pla.
The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
8 Anverite, selon jijman Ou yo, O SENYÈ, nou t ap tann Ou. Non Ou, menm memwa Ou, se dezi a nanm nou.
Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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 soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
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 mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
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.
O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
12 SENYÈ, Ou va etabli lapè pou nou, akoz ou te akonpli pou nou tout zèv nou yo.
Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
13 O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, lòt mèt apà de ou te gouvène nou; men se non Ou sèl, ke nap konfese.
O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and thy 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 liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
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.
Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes of the earth.
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 haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon 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.
Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O 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 haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
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.
Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
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 thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
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 lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
