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 strength, O Zion, —Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem—thou holy city, For there shall not again come into thee any more the uncircumcised and 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—sit down O Jerusalem, —Loose thyself from the bonds 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 Yahweh, For nought, ye sold yourselves, —And not with silver, shall ye be redeemed,
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 My Lord, Yahweh, To Egypt, went down my people at first to sojourn there, —But, Assyria, without cause, hath oppressed him.
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, therefore, what do I here? Demandeth Yahweh. That my people have been taken away for nought? They who rule them, do howl, Declareth Yahweh, And, continually—all the day, is my Name brought into contempt.
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 acknowledge my Name: Therefore, in that day, shall they acknowledge that, I, am the same, even I who am speaking, —Here, I am,
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, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings of blessing, That publisheth salvation, —That saith unto Zion, Thy God, hath become 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.
The voice of thy watchmen! They have uplifted a voice Together, do they renew the shout of triumph, —For eye to eye, shall they see, When Yahweh 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, shout in triumph together, ye waste places of Jerusalem, —For Yahweh Hath comforted his people, Hath redeemed 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.
Yahweh hath bared his holy arm, in the eyes of all the nations, So shall all the ends of the earth 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! come, forth from thence!—Nought unclean, may ye touch, —Come forth out of her midst, Purify yourselves, ye who are to carry the vessels of Yahweh;
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 come forth, Nor, by flight, shall ye journey, —For, your van-guard, is Yahweh, And, your rear-guard, the God of Israel.
13 Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen an va aji avèk sajès. Li va leve wo, e vin egzalte anpil.
Lo! my Servant, prospereth, —He riseth, and is lifted up, and becometh 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.
The more that Many, were amazed at thee, So marred, beyond any man’s, was his appearance, —And his form, beyond 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.
The more doth he startle Many nations, Before him, have kings closed their mouth, —For, that which had not been related to them, have they seen, And that which they had not heard, haw they diligently considered.
