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 his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; 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 you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in two 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 the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am 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 Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though 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 none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though 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;
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside 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 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, all of you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
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 unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What make you? or your work, He has no 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 unto him that says unto his father, What brought forth you? or to the woman, What have you brought 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 says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command all of you 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 have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
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 in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD 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 labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto you, they shall make supplication unto you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Anverite, Ou se yon Dye ki kache tèt Li, O Bondye Israël la, Sovè a!
Verily you are a God that hide yourself, O 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 shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 Israël va sove pa SENYÈ a, ak yon sali ki pou tout tan. Ou p ap vin wont, ni imilye jiska letènite.
But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: all of you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
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 that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
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 said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek all of you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are 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 come; draw near together, all of you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto 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 all of you, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 “Vire kote Mwen pou vin sove, tout pwent latè yo; paske Mwen se Bondye e pa gen lòt.
Look unto me, and be all of you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
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 is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, 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.
Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
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 shall glory.
