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 thy majesty, O Zion! Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For no more shall come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
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.
Shake thyself from the dust, Arise and sit erect, O Jerusalem! Loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ou te vann pou granmesi e ou va rachte san vèse lajan.”
For thus saith Jehovah: For naught were ye sold, And without money shall ye be ransomed.
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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down to Egypt formerly to sojourn there, And the Assyrian oppressed 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,
And now, what have I here to do, saith the Lord, When my people is taken away for naught, And their tyrants exult, saith Jehovah, And all the day long my name is blasphemed.
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!”
Therefore shall my people know my name; Therefore in that day shall they know That I am he that said, Behold, 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 upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, of him that proclaimeth peace! That bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth salvation! That saith to Zion, “Thy God is king!”
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.
Hark! the voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice together; yea, they shout! For eye to eye shall they behold, When Jehovah returneth 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.
Break forth into joy; shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem! For Jehovah hath pity on his people; he redeemeth 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.
Jehovah maketh bare his holy arm In the sight of all the nations; All the ends of the earth Behold the salvation from 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.
Depart, depart ye; go ye out from thence; Touch no unclean thing! Go ye out from the midst of her; Be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah!
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 not in haste shall ye go forth, Nor in flight shall ye pass along; For Jehovah shall march in your front, And the God of Israel bring up your rear.
13 Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen an va aji avèk sajès. Li va leve wo, e vin egzalte anpil.
Behold, my servant shall prosper; He shall be lifted up, and set on high, and greatly exalted.
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 many were amazed at the sight of him, —So disfigured and scarcely human was his visage, And so unlike that of a man was his form, —
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 shall he cause many nations to exult on account of him; Kings shall shut their mouths before him. For what had never been told them shall they see, And what they never heard shall they perceive.
