Ezayi 52
1 Leve, leve! Abiye ou menm ak fòs ou, O Sion. Abiye ak bèl vètman ou yo, O Jérusalem, vil sen an; paske ensikonsi yo ak pa pwòp yo p ap antre kote ou a ankò.
Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
2 Souke leve kò ou sòti nan pousyè a, O kaptif Jérusalem nan! Retire chenn sa yo nan kou ou, O fi kaptif a Sion an.
Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
3 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ou te vann pou granmesi e ou va rachte san vèse lajan.”
For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
4 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Pèp Mwen an nan kòmansman, te desann an Égypte pou rezide la, epi Asiryen yo te oprime yo san koz.
For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
5 Alò, pou sa, kisa Mwen gen pou fè isit la?” deklare SENYÈ a, “konsi pèp Mwen an te retire san koz?” Ankò deklare SENYÈ a: “Konsi, pèp Mwen rachte pou reyen, epi sila ki renye sou yo giyonnen yo ak kè kontan, e non Mwen blasfeme tout lajounen,
Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
6 pou sa, pèp Mwen an va konnen non Mwen. Pou sa, nan jou sa a, yo va konnen se Mwen menm k ap pale. Gade byen, se Mwen!”
For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
7 A la bèl sou mon yo, se pye a sila ki pote bòn nouvèl la, ki anonse lapè, ki pote bòn nouvèl k ap fè kè kontan, ki anonse Sali, ki di a Sion: “Bondye pa ou a renye!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
8 Gadyen ou yo leve vwa yo. Yo rele fò ak kè kontan ansanm; paske yo va wè ak pwòp zye yo lè SENYÈ a retounen nan Sion an.
The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
9 Eklate, rele ak jwa ansanm, kote ki dezole Jérusalem yo, paske SENYÈ a te konsole pèp Li a. Li te rachte Jérusalem.
Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
10 SENYÈ a te dekouvri sen bra Li pou tout nasyon yo wè. Tout dènye pwent latè yo te wè sali a Bondye nou an.
The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Sòti! Sòti! Kite kote sa a! Pa touche anyen ki pa pwòp! Sòti nan mitan li! Vin pirifye nou menm! Netwaye nou, nou ki pote veso SENYÈ a.
Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
12 Nou p ap kite ak gran vites, ni nou p ap kouri devan moun; paske SENYÈ a va ale devan nou e Bondye Israël la va fè gad an aryè.
For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
13 Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen an va aji avèk sajès. Li va leve wo, e vin egzalte anpil.
See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
14 Menm jan ke anpil moun te etone de ou— konsa aparans Li te defòme plis ke tout lòt moun, e fòm li plis ke fis a lòm yo.
As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
15 Konsa, Li va farinen sou anpil nasyon. Wa yo va pe bouch yo pou koz Li; paske sa ke yo pa t konn tande a, yo va wè l, e sa ke yo pa t koute, yo va konprann li.
So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
