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 Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Ouvri pòtay yo pou nasyon ladwati a ka antre; sila ki rete fidèl la.
Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Sila ki rete fèm nan panse li yo, Ou va kenbe nan lapè pafè, akoz li gen konfyans nan Ou.
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: 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 you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
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 brings down them that 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, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
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, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
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 have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will 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 showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty 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.
LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
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 also have worked all our works in us.
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 you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of 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.
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory 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 had removed it far to all the ends 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 have they 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.
Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your 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 have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth 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 men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, 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 you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over.
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 shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
