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.
The LORD says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? Or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your transgressions.
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, when I came, was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.
3 Mwen abiye syèl yo ak fènwa e kouvri yo ak twal sak.”
I clothe the heavens with blackness. I make sackcloth their covering.”
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 GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 SENYÈ a te ouvri zòrèy Mwen. Mwen pa t rebèl, ni Mwen pa t fè bak.
The Lord GOD has opened my ear. I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
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 off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from 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 GOD will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I won’t be disappointed.
8 Sila ki jistifye Mwen an toupre; se kilès ki mennen ka a kont Mwen? Kite li rale pre M.
He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? 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.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me! Who is he who will condemn me? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths 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 amongst you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in the LORD’s name, and rely 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.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves, walk in the flame of your fire, and amongst the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: you will lie down in sorrow.
