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.
Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.
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 unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and 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.
The Lord therefore will comfort Sion, and will comfort all the ruins thereof: and he will make her desert as a place of pleasure, and her wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise.
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.
Hearken unto me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my tribes: for a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment shall rest to be a light of the nations.
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 just one is near at hand, my saviour is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people: the islands shall look for me, and shall patiently wait 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 heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not 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.
Hearken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have my law in your heart: fear ye not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their blasphemies.
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 worm shall eat them up as a garment: and the moth shall consume them as wool: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice from generation to generation,
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?
Arise, arise, put on strength, O thou arm of the Lord, arise as in the days of old, in the ancient generations. Hast not thou struck the proud one, and wounded 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?
Hast not thou dried up the sea, the water of the mighty deep, who madest the depth of the sea a way, that the delivered might pass 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.
And now they that are redeemed by the Lord, shall return, and shall come into Sion singing praises, and joy everlasting shall be upon their heads, they shall obtain joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
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, I myself will comfort you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man, and of the son of man, who shall wither away 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?
And thou hast forgotten the Lord thy maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth: and thee hast been afraid continually all the day at the presence of his fury who afflicted thee, and had prepared himself to destroy thee: where is now the fury of the oppressor?
14 Toutalè egzile a va libere. Li p ap mouri nan kacho a, ni li p ap manke pen.
He shall quickly come that is going to open unto you, and he shall not kill unto utter destruction, neither shall his bread fail.
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.
But I am the Lord thy God, who trouble the sea, and the waves thereof swell: the Lord of hosts is my 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 thy mouth, and have protected thee in the shadow of my hand, that thou mightest plant the heavens, and found the earth: and mightest say to Sion: Thou art 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.
Arise, arise, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunk even to the bottom of the cup of dead sleep, and thou hast drunk even to the dregs.
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.
There is none that can uphold her among all the children that she hath brought forth: and there is none that taketh her by the hand among all the children that she hath brought up.
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?
There are two things that have happened to thee: who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword, who shall comfort thee?
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.
Thy children are cast forth, they have slept at the head of all the ways, as the wild ox that is snared: full of the indignation of the Lord, of the rebuke of thy God.
21 Pou sa, souple, koute sa, ou menm ki aflije, ki sou, men pa avèk diven:
Therefore hear this, thou poor little one, and thou that art drunk but no 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 saith thy Sovereign the Lord and thy God, who will fight for his people: Behold I have taken out of thy hand the cup of dead sleep, the dregs of the cup of my indignation, thou shalt not drink it again any more.
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.”
And I will put it in the hand of them that have oppressed thee, and have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as a way to them that went over.
