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 said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not 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 go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
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 have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on 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 the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, 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] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird 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 that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, 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.
Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing 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, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, 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 [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And 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 [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you 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 said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command 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 earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out 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 stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH 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 said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
15 Anverite, Ou se yon Dye ki kache tèt Li, O Bondye Israël la, Sovè a!
Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
16 Yo va desi, imilye menm, yo tout. Sa yo ki fabrike zidòl yo va sòti ansanm ak gwo wont.
They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in 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 has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
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 said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, 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 have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
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.
Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not 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.
Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
22 “Vire kote Mwen pou vin sove, tout pwent latè yo; paske Mwen se Bondye e pa gen lòt.
Turn to Me, and be 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, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
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.
Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
25 Nan SENYÈ a, tout desandan Israël yo va vin jistifye e va rejwi!
In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
