Ezayi 45
1 Konsa pale SENYÈ a a Cyrus, onksyone Li a, ke M te pran pa men dwat la, pou soumèt nasyon yo devan l e pou lache senti a wa yo, pou ouvri pòt devan l pou pòtay yo pa fèmen:
Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 “Mwen va ale devan ou pou fè move kote yo vin swa. Mwen va kraze pòt an bwonz yo e fin koupe nèt ba an fè li yo.
I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 Mwen va bay ou trezò lannwit yo ak richès k ap kache kote sekrè yo, pou ou ka konnen ke se Mwen, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki rele ou pa non ou.
And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 Pou koz sèvitè Mwen an, Jacob ak Israël, sila ke M te chwazi a, Mwen te, anplis, rele ou pa non ou. Mwen te bay ou yon tit k ap respekte, malgre ou pa t rekonèt Mwen.
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 Mwen se SENYÈ a e pa gen lòt. Apa de Mwen menm, pa gen Bondye. Mwen va fòtifye ou, malgre ou pa t rekonèt Mwen;
I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 ke lèzòm ka konnen depi solèy leve jiskaske solèy kouche, ke nanpwen lòt sof ke Mwen menm. Mwen se SENYÈ a e nanpwen lòt;
So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 Sila ki te fòme limyè a ak fènwa a, ki fè bonè e ki kreye malè. Mwen se SENYÈ a, ki fè tout sila yo.
I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 Degoute depi anwo, O syèl yo, e kite nwaj yo vide fè ladwati desann. Kite latè ouvri nèt pou sali a ka donnen fwi, pou fè ladwati vòltije monte avè l. Mwen, SENYÈ a te kreye l.
Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 Malè a sila ki goumen ak Kreyatè li a— yon veso fèt ak tè pami veso latè yo! Èske ajil va di a bòs kanari a: ‘Se kisa w ap fè la a?’ Oswa bagay w ap fè a, ta di: “Li pa gen men’?
Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 Malè a sila ki di a yon papa: ‘Ki kalite bagay ou te fè la?’ Oswa a yon fanm: ‘A kilès w ap bay nesans lan?’”
Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Sila Ki Sen An Israël ak Kreyatè li a: “Mande M de bagay k ap vini a konsènan fis Mwen yo e ou kòmande Mwen menm selon zèv men M yo!
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 Se Mwen ki te fè latè e te kreye lòm sou li. Mwen te lonje ouvri syèl yo ak men M e mete tout lame selès pa yo an lòd.
I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 Mwen te fè leve nan li ladwati e Mwen va fè wout li yo swa. Li va bati vil Mwen, e va kite egzile Mwen yo vin libere, pa pou pèyman oswa rekonpans,” pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Prodwi a Égypte yo ak machandiz a Ethiopie a ak Sabeyen yo, mesye a gran tay yo, va vin travèse kote ou. Yo va pou ou. Yo va mache dèyè w. Yo va vini ak chenn sou yo, e va bese devan ou; yo va fè siplikasyon a ou menm. ‘Anverite Bondye pami nou; e pa gen lòt. Nanpwen lòt Bondye’”
Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 Anverite, Ou se yon Dye ki kache tèt Li, O Bondye Israël la, Sovè a!
Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 Yo va desi, imilye menm, yo tout. Sa yo ki fabrike zidòl yo va sòti ansanm ak gwo wont.
They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 Israël va sove pa SENYÈ a, ak yon sali ki pou tout tan. Ou p ap vin wont, ni imilye jiska letènite.
Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 Paske SENYÈ a ki te kreye syèl la ak tè a, Dye la ki te fòme tè a e ki te fè l la; Ki te etabli li, e Li pa t kreye li vid, men te fòme l pou moun ka viv ladann di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a. Nanpwen lòt.
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Mwen pa t pale an sekrè, nan yon peyi fènwa. Mwen pa t di a desandan Jacob yo, ‘Chache M anven.’ Mwen, SENYÈ a, pale ladwati. Mwen deklare sa ki dwat.”
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 “Rasanble nou e vini. Rapwoche nou ansanm, nou menm, refijye a nasyon yo. Lòt yo pa gen konesans; sila ki pote zidòl an bwa yo toupatou, e ki priye a yon dye ki p ap ka sove yo.
Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 Deklare e prezante ka nou an. Anverite, kite yo fè konsiltasyon ansanm. Se kilès ki te anonse sa depi nan tan ansyen yo, ki te deklare sa depi lontan? Èske se pa Mwen, SENYÈ a? Epi nanpwen lòt Dye sof ke Mwen, yon Dye ladwati e yon Sovè. Nanpwen lòt sof ke Mwen.
Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 “Vire kote Mwen pou vin sove, tout pwent latè yo; paske Mwen se Bondye e pa gen lòt.
All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 Mwen te sèmante pa Mwen menm, pawòl la te fin sòti nan bouch Mwen nan ladwati e li p ap vire fè bak; ke a Mwen menm, tout jenou va koube e tout lang va sèmante fidelite.
I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
24 Yo va di de Mwen: ‘Se sèlman nan SENYÈ a ki gen ladwati ak pwisans.’” Lèzòm va vin kote Li e tout moun ki te fè laràj kont Li va vin wont nèt.
Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
25 Nan SENYÈ a, tout desandan Israël yo va vin jistifye e va rejwi!
In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
