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 saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall 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 thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst 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 thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
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 my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast 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 none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast 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;
That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
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 darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that 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.
Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: 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 that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without 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 that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
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 saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
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 forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
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 to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith 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 saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
15 Anverite, Ou se yon Dye ki kache tèt Li, O Bondye Israël la, Sovè a!
Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
16 Yo va desi, imilye menm, yo tout. Sa yo ki fabrike zidòl yo va sòti ansanm ak gwo wont.
They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone 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 with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever 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 saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to 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 seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
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 come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot 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.
Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
22 “Vire kote Mwen pou vin sove, tout pwent latè yo; paske Mwen se Bondye e pa gen lòt.
Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: 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 shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
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 shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
25 Nan SENYÈ a, tout desandan Israël yo va vin jistifye e va rejwi!
In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
