Ezayi 54

1 “Chante, O esteril la! Ou menm ki pa t kapab fè pitit! Eklate nan yon gwo kri lajwa, e kriye fò, ou menm ki pa t gen doulè ansent lan! Paske fis fanm abandone an va depase fis a fanm ki marye yo”, SENYÈ a di.

Sing, O thou barren, that didst not hear! Break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that wast not in travail! For more are the children of the desolate Than of the married woman, saith Jehovah.

2 “Agrandi anplasman tant ou; lonje rido lakay ou, pa ralanti! Fè kòd yo pi long e fòtifye pikèt yo.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let the canopy of thy habitation be extended! Spare not; lengthen thy cords, And make fast thy stakes!

3 Paske ou va gaye toupatou, ni adwat, ni agoch. Konsa, desandan ou yo va posede nasyon yo. Yo va rete ankò nan vil abandone yo.”

For on the right hand and on the left shalt thou burst forth with increase; And thy posterity shall inherit the nations, And people the desolate cities.

4 “Pa pè, paske ou p ap vin wont. Pa santi ou imilye, paske ou p ap desi. Ou p ap sonje wont jenès ou ak repwòch tankou vèv. Sa va bliye nèt.

Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded; Blush not, for thou shalt not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.

5 Paske mari ou se Kreyatè ou a; yo rele L SENYÈ dèzame yo. Redanmtè ou se Sila Ki Sen An Israël la. Yo rele Li Bondye a tout latè a.

For thy husband is thy Maker; Jehovah of hosts is his name. Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 Paske SENYÈ a te rele ou kon yon madanm abandone e atriste nan lespri, menm kon yon madanm nan jenès li lè l abandone,” di Bondye ou.

For as a woman forsaken, and deeply afflicted, hath Jehovah recalled thee, And as a wife wedded in youth, that hath been rejected, saith thy God.

7 “Pou yon ti tan kout, Mwen te kite ou; men ak gran konpasyon, Mwen va ranmase ou.

For a little moment I have forsaken thee, But with great mercy will I gather thee.

8 Nan anpil kòlè, Mwen te kache figi M pou yon moman, men ak lanmou dous ki p ap janm fini an, Mwen va gen konpasyon pou ou”, di SENYÈ a, Redanmtè ou a.

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy upon thee, Saith thy redeemer, Jehovah.

9 “Paske pou Mwen, sa se tankou jou Noé yo. Menm jan Mwen te sèmante ke dlo a Noé yo pa ta janm inonde latè ankò, konsa Mwen te sèmante ke Mwen p ap fache avèk ou, ni ke Mwen p ap repwoche nou.

As in the time of the waters of Noah, so shall it be now; As I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, So do I swear that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 Paske mòn yo kapab deplase, e kolin yo ka disparèt, men lanmou dous Mwen anvè ou menm p ap retire de ou. Ni akò lapè Mwen p ap soti menm,” di SENYÈ ki gen konpasyon pou ou a.

For the mountains shall depart, And the hills be overthrown, But my kindness shall not depart from thee, Nor shall my covenant of peace be overthrown, Saith Jehovah, that hath pity on thee.

11 O sila ki aflije a, balote pa tanpèt la e san konsolasyon an; gade byen, Mwen va monte bijou ou ak bon kòl ki fèt pou bijou bèl koulè yo, epi fondasyon ou yo va poze ak pyè safì.

O thou afflicted, beaten with the storm, destitute of consolation! Behold, I lay thy stones in cement of vermilion, And thy foundations with sapphires.

12 Anplis, Mwen va fè ranpa ou ak bijou ribi, pòtay nou yo ak pyè kristal, e tout miray ou yo ak pyè presye.

And I will make thy battlements of rubies, And thy gates of carbuncles, And all thy borders fill of precious stones.

13 Tout fis ou yo va enstwi pa SENYÈ a; pitit ou yo va gen lapè ak bonè nèt.

All thy children shall be taught by Jehovah, And great shall be the prosperity of thy children.

14 Nan ladwati, ou va etabli; ou va rete lwen opresyon, paske ou p ap gen lakrent. Ou p ap gen gwo laperèz, paske li p ap pwoche ou.

By righteousness shalt thou be established; Be thou far from anxiety, for thou shalt have nothing to fear, And from terror, for it shall not come near thee.

15 Si nenpòt moun atake ou, se pa kote M sa va sòti. Nenpòt moun ki atake ou va tonbe akoz ou menm.

If any be leagued against thee, it is not by my command; Whoever shall be leagued against thee shall come over to thee.

16 “Gade byen, se Mwen menm ki te kreye bòs fòjewon ki pou soufle dife chabon an, e fè sòti yon zam pou travay li. Mwen te kreye destriktè a pou l ka detwi.

Behold, I create the smith, Who bloweth up the coals into a fire, And produceth an instrument for his work; I also create the destroyer to lay waste.

17 Nanpwen zam ki fòme kont ou k ap reyisi; epi tout lang ki akize ou nan jijman, ou va kondane yo. Sa se eritaj a sèvitè a SENYÈ yo. Jistis pa yo sòti de Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.

Whatever weapon is formed against thee, it shall not prosper; And against every tongue that contendeth with thee, thou shalt obtain thy cause. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And the blessing which they receive from me, saith Jehovah.
