Ezayi 59
1 Gade byen, men SENYÈ a pa tèlman kout pou l pa ka sove; ni zòrèy Li pa di pou l pa ka tande.
Here! not it is [too] short [the] hand of Yahweh for saving and not it is [too] heavy ear his for hearing.
2 Men se inikite nou yo ki fè nou separe ak Bondye nou an, e se peche nou yo ki te kache figi Li de nou menm, pou Li pa tande.
For except iniquities your they have been separating between you and between God your and sins your they have hidden face from you from hearing.
3 Paske men nou souye ak san vèse, e dwèt nou ak inikite. Lèv nou fin pale sa ki fo, e lang nou plenyen mechanste.
For hands your they are defiled with blood and fingers your with iniquity lips your they have spoken falsehood tongue your injustice it mutters.
4 Nanpwen moun ki fè pwosè ak dwati, ni ki fè plent ak entegrite. Yo mete konfyans nan vanite, e yo pale manti. Yo simen mal e yo rekòlte mechanste.
There not [is one who] calls in righteousness and there not [is one who] enters into judgment in truth [they are] trusting on emptiness and they speak worthlessness they conceive mischief and they bring forth wickedness.
5 Yo kale ze koulèv yo, e trese fil arenye yo. Sila ki manje ze yo va mouri; e nan sa ki kraze a, yon koulèv va pete vin parèt.
Eggs of a viper they have hatched and webs of a spider they weave the [one who] eats any of eggs their he will die and the pressed [egg] it is hatched a snake.
6 Fil pa yo p ap fè rad; ni zèv yo p ap ka kouvri yo. Zèv pa yo se zèv inikite, e se zak vyolans ki rete nan men yo.
Webs their not they will become clothing and not people will cover themselves with products their products their [are] products of wickedness and deed[s] of violence [is] in hands their.
7 Pye pa yo kouri vè mal, e yo fè vit pou vèse san inosan an. Panse pa yo se panse inikite, e destriksyon ak dega sou chemen yo.
Feet their to evil they run and they may hasten to shed blood innocent thoughts their [are] thoughts of wickedness devastation and destruction [are] on highways their.
8 Yo pa konnen chemen lapè, e nanpwen jistis nan yo. Yo te fè wout kwochi; nenpòt moun ki antre kote yo pa konnen lapè.
A way of peace not they know and there not [is] justice on tracks their paths their they have made crooked themselves any [one who] treads on it not he knows peace.
9 Akoz sa, lajistis rete lwen nou, e ladwati pa fin rive sou nou. Nou espere jwenn limyè pou klere nou, men nou mache nan fènwa.
There-fore it is far justice from us and not it reaches us righteousness we wait eagerly for the light and there! darkness for gleams of light in gloom we walk.
10 Nou tatonnen akote mi an tankou moun avèg. Nou tatonnen kon sila ki pa gen zye yo. Nou kilbite a midi konsi se nan aswè. Pami sila ki plen kouraj yo, nou parèt tankou moun mouri.
We grope for like blind [people] a wall and like there not [are] eyes we grope we have stumbled at noon like the twilight among the fat people like dead [people].
11 Epi nou tout gwonde tankou lous, e plenyen ak tristès kon toutrèl. Nou espere lajistis, men nanpwen; pou delivrans, men li lwen nou.
We growl like bears all of us and like doves certainly we moan we wait eagerly for justice and there not for deliverance it is far from us.
12 Paske transgresyon nou yo miltipliye devan Ou, e peche nou yo temwaye kont nou. Paske transgresyon nou yo rete avèk nou e nou konnen inikite nou yo:
For they are many transgressions our before you and sins our it has testified against us that transgressions our [are] with us and iniquities our we know them.
13 Nou fè rebèl e nou nye SENYÈ a. Nou vire kite Bondye nou an, ak pawòl opresyon ak rebèl. Nan kè a, nou fòmante e fè vin parèt pawòl manti.
We have transgressed and we have denied Yahweh and we have turned back from after God our we have spoken oppression and rebellion we have conceived and we have uttered from [the] heart words of falsehood.
14 Lajistis vin detounen e ladwati vin kanpe byen lwen. Paske verite a fin glise tonbe nan lari e ladwati p ap ka antre.
And it has been driven back backwards justice and righteousness from a distance it stands for it has stumbled in the open place truth and honesty not it is able to enter.
15 Wi, verite a manke; epi sila ki vire akote pou li pa fè mal la, fin fè pwòp tèt li yon viktim. Alò, SENYÈ a te wè e sa pa t fè plezi devan zye L, ke pa t gen jistis.
And it was truth lacking and [one who] turned aside from evil [was] plundered and he saw Yahweh and it was displeasing in view his that there not [was] justice.
16 Li te wè ke pa t gen pèsòn, e te etone ke pa t gen moun ki pou entèsede. Akoz sa a, pwòp bra Li te mennen sali a rive kote Li, e ladwati Li te bay Li soutyen.
And he saw that there not [was] anyone and he was appalled that there not [was one who] interposed and it gave victory to him own arm his and own righteousness his it it sustained him.
17 Li te abiye ak ladwati kon pwotèj lestomak, e ak kas sali a sou tèt Li. Li te mete vètman vanjans kon abiman, e te vlope tèt Li ak zèl, kon manto Li.
And he put on righteousness like body armor and a helmet of salvation on head his and he put on garments of vengeance clothing and he wrapped himself like robe zeal.
18 Selon zèv pa yo, konsa Li va rekonpanse yo: jijman ak kòlè a advèsè Li yo, rekonpans a lènmi Li yo; a peyi kot yo, Li va bay sa yo merite.
As on deeds as on he will repay rage to opponents his recompense to enemies his to the islands recompense he will repay.
19 Akoz sa, yo va gen krent non SENYÈ a soti nan lwès e glwa Li soti kote solèy leve a; paske Li va vini tankou dlo ravin k ap desann byen rapid. Se van SENYÈ a kap pouse l.
And they may fear from [the] setting place [the] name of Yahweh and from [the] rising of [the] sun glory his for he will come like river narrow [which] [the] wind of Yahweh it will drive it.
20 “Yon Redanmtè va vini nan Sion, e a sila ki vire kite transgresyon Jacob yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And he will come to Zion a redeemer and to [those who] repent of transgression in Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.
21 “Pou Mwen menm, sa se akò mwen avèk yo,” di SENYÈ a: “Lespri Mwen ki sou ou a, e pawòl Mwen ke M te mete nan bouch ou yo p ap janm disparèt nan bouch ou, ni bouch a desandan ou yo, ni bouch a desandan pa yo,” pale SENYÈ a, “depi koulye a e jis rive pou tout tan.”
And I this [is] covenant my with them he says Yahweh spirit my which [is] on you and words my which I have put in mouth your not they will depart from mouth your and from [the] mouth of offspring your and from [the] mouth of [the] offspring of offspring your he says Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
