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.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; 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, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
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 the smoking flax shall he not quench: 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 not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
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 God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and expanded them; he that spread forth the earth, and that which it produceth; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.
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 have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, 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 blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of 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: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise 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 former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
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 to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
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.
Let the wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Kite yo bay glwa a SENYÈ a e deklare lwanj Li nan peyi kot yo.
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles.
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 will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yes, roar; he will prevail 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 long time held my peace; I have been still, [and] restrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour 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 waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers [to be] islands, and I will 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; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do for them, and 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.
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that 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, ye blind, that ye may 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?
Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20 Nou te wè anpil bagay, men nou pa swiv yo; zòrèy nou louvri, men nanpwen moun ki tande.
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 SENYÈ a te kontan pou koz ladwati Li; pou fè lalwa a gran e plen respe.
The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honorable.
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!”
But this [is] a people robbed and pillaged; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, 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 among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken, and hear for the time to come?
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.
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient 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.”
Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.
