Ezayi 42
1 “Gade byen, men Sèvitè Mwen an, ke M ap soutni an; sila ke M chwazi a, ki fè nanm Mwen plezi a. Mwen te mete Lespri M sou Li. Li va mennen fè lajistis vin parèt devan nasyon yo.
Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 Li p ap kriye menm, ni leve vwa l, ni fè vwa l tande nan lari.
He shall not cry, nor lift up [his voice], nor shall his voice be heard without.
3 Yon wozo ki brize, Li p ap kase, e yon fisèl bouji ki brile fèb, Li p ap etenn. Ak fidelite, Li va mennen lajistis e fè l vin parèt.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench; but he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 Li p ap dekouraje oswa vin kraze jiskaske Li etabli lajistis sou tout latè, epi peyi kot yo va tann lalwa Li.”
He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
5 Konsa pale Bondye SENYÈ a ki te kreye syèl yo e ki tann yo, ki te fè latè vin laj ak tout sa ki viv ladann, ki bay souf a tout pèp ki vivan sou li, e lespri lavi a tout moun ki mache ladann,
Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it:
6 Mwen menm se SENYÈ a. Mwen te rele Ou nan ladwati. Anplis, Mwen va kenbe Ou nan men. Mwen va pran swen Ou. Mwen va chwazi Ou kon yon akò pou pèp la, kon yon limyè pou nasyon yo,
I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 pou ouvri zye avèg yo, pou mennen prizonye yo sòti nan kacho a, e fè sila ki viv nan tenèb yo sòti nan prizon an.
to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the bound and them that sit in darkness out of bonds and the prison-house.
8 “Mwen se SENYÈ a. Sa se non Mwen. Mwen p ap bay glwa Mwen a yon lòt, ni lwanj Mwen a imaj taye.
I am the Lord God: that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praises to graven images.
9 Gade byen, ansyen bagay yo te fin akonpli; koulye a, Mwen deklare bagay nèf yo. Avan yo leve vin parèt, Mwen pwoklame yo a nou menm.”
Behold, the ancient things have come to pass, and [so will] the new things which I tell you: yea, before I tell [them] they are made known to you.
10 Chante a SENYÈ a yon chan tounèf, lwanj Li jis rive nan dènye pwent latè! Nou menm ki desann nan lanmè a, ak tout sa ki ladann, nou menm lil yo ak sila ki viv sou yo.
Sing a new hymn to the Lord: ye [who are] his dominion, glorify his name from the end of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, and sail upon it; the islands, and they that dwell in them.
11 Kite dezè a ak vil li yo leve vwa yo; anplasman kote Kédar rete a. Kite sila ki rete nan Sela la chante anlè; kite yo chante ak kè kontan soti nan wotè mòn yo.
Rejoice, thou wilderness, and the villages thereof, the hamlets, and the dwellers in Kedar: the inhabitants of the rock shall rejoice, they shall shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Kite yo bay glwa a SENYÈ a e deklare lwanj Li nan peyi kot yo.
They shall give glory to God, [and] shall proclaim his praises in the islands.
13 SENYÈ a va avanse tankou yon gèrye, li va chofe zèl Li tankou yon nonm lagè. Li va kriye fò, wi Li va leve yon kri lagè. Li va enpoze Li sou lènmi Li yo.
The Lord God of hosts shall go forth, and crush the war: he shall stir up jealousy, and shall shout mightily against his enemies.
14 Mwen te rete an silans depi lontan sa. Mwen te rete kalm e te kontwole Mwen. Koulye a, tankou yon fanm k ap fè pitit, Mwen va plenyen. Mwen va rale gwo souf e respire fò.
I have been silent: shall I also always be silent and forbear: I have endured like a travailing [woman]: I will [now] amaze and wither at once.
15 Mwen va ravaje tout mòn yo ak kolin yo, e zèb ak raje yo va vin fennen nèt. Mwen va fè rivyè lafen lil yo, e seche letan.
I will make desolate mountains and hills, and will dry up all their grass; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools.
16 Mwen va mennen avèg yo pa yon chemen yo pa konnen, nan wout yo pa konnen, Mwen va gide yo. Mwen va fè tenèb la vin limyè devan yo e move kote yo va vin plat. Se bagay sa yo Mwen va fè e Mwen p ap kite yo pa fèt.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, and I will cause them to tread paths which they have not known: I will turn darkness into light for them, and crooked things into straight. These things will I do, and will not forsake them.
17 “Sila ki mete konfyans yo nan zidòl yo e ki di a imaj fonn yo: ‘Se nou menm ki dye pa nou’, va voye tounen pa dèyè e va vin wont nèt.
But they are turned back: be ye utterly ashamed that trust in graven [images], who say to the molten [images], Ye are our gods.
18 “Tande, nou menm ki soud! Epi gade, nou menm ki avèg, pou nou ka wè.
Hear, ye deaf, and look up, ye blind, to see.
19 Se kilès ki avèg sof ke sèvitè Mwen an, oswa tèlman soud tankou mesaje ke Mwen voye a? Se kilès ki avèg tankou sila ki anpè avè M, oswa tèlman avèg tankou sèvitè a SENYÈ a?
And who is blind, but my servants? and deaf, but they that rule over them? yea, the servants of God have been made blind.
20 Nou te wè anpil bagay, men nou pa swiv yo; zòrèy nou louvri, men nanpwen moun ki tande.
Ye have often seen, and have not taken heed; [your] ears have been opened, and ye have not heard.
21 SENYÈ a te kontan pou koz ladwati Li; pou fè lalwa a gran e plen respe.
The Lord God has taken counsel that he might be justified, and might magnify [his] praise.
22 Men pèp sa a se yon pèp depouye e piyaje. Yo tout kole nan kav yo oswa kache nan prizon yo. Yo devni viktim san okenn moun ki pou delivre yo; yon piyaj san okenn moun ki pou di: “Restore yo!”
And I beheld, and the people were spoiled and plundered: for [there is] a snare in the secret chambers everywhere, and in the houses also, where they have hidden them: they became a spoil, and there was no one that delivered the prey, and there was none who said, Restore.
23 Se kilès pami nou k ap prete zòrèy a sa a? Kilès k ap okipe sa e kòmanse koute depi koulye a?
Who [is there] among you that will give ear to these things? hearken ye to the things which are coming to pass.
24 Se kilès ki te livre Jacob pou l depouye e Israël a piyajè yo? Èske se pa t SENYÈ a, kont sila nou te peche a? Paske yo te refize mache nan chemen Li yo; ni yo pa t swiv lalwa Li.
For what did he give to Jacob up to spoil, and Israel to them that plundered him? Did not God [do it] against whom they sinned? [and] they would not walk in his ways, nor hearken to his law.
25 Pou sa, Li te vide sou li chalè kòlè Li ak fòs kouraj batay la. Sa te fè l pran flanm toupatou, men li pa t rekonèt sa a. Li t ap brile l, men li pa t okipe sa.”
So he brought upon them the fury of his wrath; and the war, and those that burnt round about them, prevailed against them; yet no one of them knew [it], neither did they lay [it] to heart.
