Ezayi 51
1 “Koute mwen, nou menm ki swiv ladwati a, k ap chache SENYÈ a: Gade vè wòch sou sila nou te taye a, vè min wòch kote nou te retire a.
“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn.
2 Gade vè Abraham, papa nou an ak Sarah, ki te fè nou soti nan vant. Lè li te yon sèl, Mwen te rele li, Mwen te beni li, e te fè l vin miltipliye.”
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him, he was but one; then I blessed him and multiplied him.
3 Anverite, SENYÈ a te konsole Sion; Li te rekonfòte tout kote dezole li yo. Epi savann li yo te fèt sanble ak Éden, e dezè yo tankou jaden Senyè a. Lajwa ak kè kontan va twouve nan yo; remèsiman ak son melodi chanson.
For the LORD will comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.
4 “Prete atansyon a Mwen, O pèp Mwen an e prete Mwen zòrèy nou, O nasyon Mwen an; paske yon lwa va sòti nan Mwen e Mwen va poze jistis Mwen kon yon limyè a tout pèp yo.
Pay attention to Me, My people, and listen to Me, My nation; for a law will go out from Me, and My justice will become a light to the nations; I will bring it about quickly.
5 Ladwati Mwen toupre a. Sali Mwen te voye deyò. Se bra M kap jije pèp yo. Peyi kot yo va tann Mwen, e bra M va jije pèp yo.
My righteousness draws near, My salvation is on the way, and My arms will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look for Me and wait in hope for My arm.
6 Leve zye nou vè syèl la e gade anba vè latè; paske syèl la va disparèt tankou lafimen; latè va epwize tankou yon vètman. Konsa, moun ki rete ladann yo va mouri; men delivrans Mwen va la jis pou tout tan, e ladwati Mwen p ap janm sispann.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.
7 “Koute Mwen, nou menm ki konnen ladwati, yon pèp ki gen lalwa M nan kè yo. Pa pè repwòch a lòm, ni dekouraje lè y ap meprize nou.
Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.
8 Paske papiyon va manje yo tankou yon vètman, e mit va manje yo tankou len. Men ladwati Mwen va jis pou tout tan, e sali Mwen, a tout jenerasyon yo.”
For the moth will devour them like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will last forever, My salvation through all generations.”
9 “Leve, leve, mete fòs sou Ou, O bra SENYÈ a; leve tankou nan jou lansyen yo. Èske se pa t Ou menm ki te koupe Rahab an ti mòso a, ki te frennen dragon an nèt la?
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD. Wake up as in days past, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced through the dragon?
10 Èske se pa Ou menm ki te seche lanmè a, dlo yo a gran fon an; ki te fè pwofondè lanmè yo yon chemen pou rachte yo ta ka travèse lòtbò?
Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea for the redeemed to cross over?
11 Pou sa, rachte a SENYÈ yo va retounen; vini ak gwo kri lajwa a Sion yo. Epi lajwa ki dire nèt la va sou tèt yo. Yo va jwenn kè kontan ak lajwa, e tristès ak soupi pa yo va disparèt nèt.
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
12 “Mwen, Mwen menm se Sila ki bannou konsolasyon an. Se kilès ou ye pou ou pè moun ki va mouri, ak fis a moun ki fèt tankou zèb la?
“I, even I, am He who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortal man, of a son of man who withers like grass?
13 Èske ou te bliye SENYÈ a, Kreyatè ou a, ki te rale ouvri syèl yo e te poze fondasyon latè yo? Eske nou krent tout jounen akoz kòlè opresè a, pandan l ap prepare pou detwi? Men ki kote kòlè opresè sila a?
But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. You live in terror all day long because of the fury of the oppressor who is bent on destruction. But where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Toutalè egzile a va libere. Li p ap mouri nan kacho a, ni li p ap manke pen.
The captive will soon be freed; he will not die in the dungeon, and his bread will not be lacking.
15 Paske Mwen se SENYÈ Bondye ou a, ki fè boulvèse lanmè a, Ki fè lanm li yo gwonde. SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li.
For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
16 Mwen te mete pawòl Mwen nan bouch ou e te kouvri ou avèk lonbraj men Mwen, pou etabli syèl yo, fonde latè a e pou di a Sion: ‘Ou se pèp Mwen.’”
I have put My words in your mouth, and covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
17 Leve ou menm! Leve ou menm! Kanpe, O Jérusalem! Ou menm ki te bwè depi nan men SENYÈ a, tas kòlè Li. Gode ki pou fè ou kilbite a, ou fin bwè jis rive nan kras anba l.
Awake, awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; you who have drained the goblet to the dregs— the cup that makes men stagger.
18 Nanpwen moun ki pou gide fi a pami tout fis li te fè yo, ni nanpwen moun ki pou pran l pa lamen pami tout fis li te leve yo.
Among all the sons she bore, there is no one to guide her; among all the sons she brought up, there is no one to take her hand.
19 Se de bagay sa yo ki gen tan rive ou— se kilès ki va kriye pou ou?— devastasyon ak destriksyon, gwo grangou, ak nepe. Kijan pou m ta konsole ou?
These pairs have befallen you: devastation and destruction, famine and sword. Who will grieve for you? Who can comfort you?
20 Fis ou yo vin endispoze; yo kouche atè sou pwent a chak ri, tankou antilòp ki kenbe nan pèlen. Yo ranpli ak kòlè SENYÈ a, ak repwòch Bondye ou a.
Your sons have fainted; they lie at the head of every street, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God.
21 Pou sa, souple, koute sa, ou menm ki aflije, ki sou, men pa avèk diven:
Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, drunken, but not with wine.
22 Konsa pale Senyè ou a, SENYÈ a, menm Bondye ou, ki pran plede kòz pou pèp Li a: “Gade byen, Mwen te retire tas kilbite a, gode kòlè Mwen an soti nan men ou; ou p ap janm bwè l ankò.
Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.
23 M ap mete li nan men a sila k ap toumante ou yo, ki te di nanm ou: ‘Kouche pou nou ka mache sou ou’. Ou te kouche fè do ou vin tankou tè a; tankou gran lari pou sila k ap mache sou li yo.”
I will place it in the hands of your tormentors, who told you: ‘Lie down, so we can walk over you,’ so that you made your back like the ground, like a street to be traversed.”
