Ezayi 50
1 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Kote sètifika divòs ak sila Mwen te voye manman ou ale a? Oswa èske Mwen te vann ou bay ou yo? Gade byen, ou te vann akoz inikite ou yo, e manman ou te voye ale akoz transgresyon ou yo.
This is what Yahweh says, “Where is the certificate of divorce with which I divorced your mother? To which of my creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold because of your sins, and because of your rebellion, your mother was sent away.
2 Poukisa pa t gen moun lè M te vini an? Lè M te rele a, èske pa t gen moun pou reponn? Èske men M tèlman kout pou li pa ka rachte? Oswa èske Mwen pa gen okenn pouvwa pou rachte moun? Gade byen, Mwen fè lanmè a sèk ak repwòch Mwen; Mwen fè rivyè yo vin dezè. Pwason pa yo gen move sant akoz mank dlo, e yo mouri ak swaf.
Why did I come but there was no one there? Why did I call but no one answered? Was my hand too short to ransom you? Was there no power in me to rescue you? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert; their fish die for lack of water and rot.
3 Mwen abiye syèl yo ak fènwa e kouvri yo ak twal sak.”
I clothe the sky with darkness; I cover it with sackcloth.”
4 Senyè a te ban Mwen lang a sa yo ki enstwi yo, pou M ka konnen jan pou bay pawòl soutyen a sila ki fatige. Li fè M leve maten apre maten, Li fè zòrèy Mwen leve pou koute kon yon disip.
The Lord Yahweh has given me a tongue as one of those who are taught, so that I speak a sustaining word to the weary one; he wakes me morning by morning; he awakens my ear to hear like those who are taught.
5 SENYÈ a te ouvri zòrèy Mwen. Mwen pa t rebèl, ni Mwen pa t fè bak.
The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn away backward.
6 Mwen te bay do M a sila ki te vle frape Mwen yo, ak machwè M a sila ki t ap rache bab Mwen yo; Mwen pa t kouvri figi Mwen devan imilyasyon ak krache.
I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked out my beard; I did not hide my face from acts of shame and spitting.
7 Paske Senyè BONDYE a va fè M sekou. Pou sa, Mwen pa t twouble menm. Pou sa, Mwen te fè figi M vin di tankou silèks. Konsa, Mwen konnen ke M p ap vin wont.
For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I am not disgraced; so I have made my face like flint, for I know that I will not be put to shame.
8 Sila ki jistifye Mwen an toupre; se kilès ki mennen ka a kont Mwen? Kite li rale pre M.
He who will justify me is close by. Who will oppose me? Let us stand and confront one another. Who is my accuser? Let him come near to me.
9 Gade byen, Senyè BONDYE a fè M sekou; se kilès ki kondane Mwen? Gade byen, yo tout va vin vye; epwize tankou yon vètman. Mit papiyon twal yo va manje yo.
See, the Lord Yahweh will help me. Who will declare me guilty? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up.
10 Se kilès pami nou ki krent SENYÈ a, ki obeyi vwa a sèvitè Li a, ki mache nan fènwa a e ki pa gen limyè a? Kite li mete konfyans nan non SENYÈ a e depann de Bondye li a.
Who among you fears Yahweh? Who obeys the voice of his servant? Who walks in deep darkness without light? He should trust in the name of Yahweh and lean on his God.
11 Gade byen, nou tout ki limen yon dife, ki antoure nou ak tòch ki limen dife yo; mache nan limyè dife nou te fè a, e pami tòch yo nou te lime a. Men sa nou va jwenn nan men Mwen an: Nou va kouche pou fè lamantasyon.
Look, all you who light fires, who equip yourselves with torches: walk in the light of your fire and in the flames that you have ignited. This is what you have received from me: You will lie down in a place of pain.
