Ezayi 46
1 Bel vin pwostène, Nebo koube nèt. Imaj pa yo kon pote sou bèt; menm sou tout kalite bèt domestik. Bagay ke nou pote yo se chaj lou; yon fado ki pèze sa yo ki fatige.
Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
2 Yo koube nèt e yo vin pwostène ansanm. Yo pa t ka delivre chaj lou a, men yo menm vin prizonye yo.
They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
3 Koute Mwen, O lakay Jacob ak tout retay lakay Israël la; nou menm ki te pote menm depi nan nesans, ki te pote depi nan vant.
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
4 Jis rive nan vyeyès nou, Mwen se Li, e menm lè cheve nou blanch, Mwen va pote nou. Mwen te fè, e Mwen va pote. Mwen va pote, e Mwen va delivre.
Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
5 A kilès nou ta fè Mwen sanble, fè Mwen vin egal e konpare Mwen, konsi nou te menm bagay?
To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
6 Kèk kon vide lò ki sòti nan bous, oswa peze ajan sou balans. Anplwaye yon òfèv, e l ap fè l vin tounen yon dye. Yo pwostène— e anverite, yo adore l.
You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
7 Yo fè l monte sou zepòl pou pote l; yo pote l, mete li nan plas li, e li kanpe la. Li p ap ka deplase nan plas li. Malgre yon moun ta kriye anvè li, li p ap ka reponn; li p ap ka delivre l nan gwo pwoblèm li an.
They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
8 Sonje sa e kanpe fèm kon gason; kenbe sa nan tèt nou ankò, transgresè yo.
Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.
9 Sonje ansyen bagay ki pase lontan yo, paske Mwen se Bondye e nanpwen lòt. Mwen se Bondye, epi pa gen tankou Mwen,
Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
10 ki deklare lafen depi nan kòmansman e depi tan lansyen yo, bagay ki pa t janm fèt yo. Mwen ki di w: “Volonte m va etabli e Mwen va akonpli tout bon plezi M.”
Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
11 M ap rele yon zwazo ki manje chè soti nan lès, yon nonm volonte Mwen an, k ap soti nan yon peyi lwen. Anverite, Mwen te pale. Anverite, Mwen va fè sa rive. Mwen ki te fè plan an; Mwen k ap fè l rive.
Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it.
12 Koute Mwen, nou menm, moun tèt di, ki lwen ladwati yo!
Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
13 Mwen mennen ladwati Mwen vin toupre. Li pa lwen, epi sali Mwen p ap fè reta. Mwen va bay sali nan Sion e glwa Mwen a Israël.
I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
