Ezayi 60
1 “Leve, briye; paske limyè ou fin parèt e glwa a SENYÈ a fin leve sou ou.
Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.
2 Paske gade byen, tenèb va kouvri latè e pwofon tenèb tout pèp yo. Men SENYÈ a va vin leve sou ou, e glwa li va parèt sou ou.
For truly, the earth will be dark, and the peoples veiled in blackest night; but the Lord will be shining on you, and his glory will be seen among you.
3 Nasyon yo va vin kote limyè ou a, e wa yo nan klète lè ou leve a.
And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn.
4 “Leve zye ou toupatou e gade; yo tout rasanble ansanm; yo vin kote ou. Fis ou yo va vini soti lwen, e fi ou yo va pote nan bra yo.
Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.
5 Epi ou va wè, ou va plen ak limyè; kè ou va kontan e ou va rejwi. Paske abondans lanmè a va vire vè ou; gran richès a nasyon yo va rive kote ou.
Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Anpil chamo va kouvri ou, jenn chamo a Madian ak Épha yo. Tout sila soti Séba yo va vini. Yo va pote lò ak lansan, e yo va pote bòn nouvèl a, lwanj a SENYÈ a.
You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.
7 Tout bann mouton Kédar yo va rasanble kote ou. Belye a Nebajoth yo va sèvi ou; yo va vin aksepte pou monte sou lotèl Mwen an, e Mwen va glorifye kay Mwen an ki plen lonè ak mayifisans.
All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.
8 “Se kilès sa yo ki vole tankou yon nwaj ak tankou toutrèl vè fenèt pa yo?
Who are these coming like a cloud, like a flight of doves to their windows?
9 Anverite, peyi kot yo va tann Mwen; gwo bato Tarsis yo va vini premyèman pou mennen fis ou yo soti lwen; ajan ak lò yo avèk yo, pou non SENYÈ Bondye ou a e pou Sila Ki Sen an Israël la, akoz Li te bay ou glwa.
Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.
10 “Etranje yo va bati, fòtifye miray ou yo, epi wa pa yo va fè sèvis pa yo. Paske nan kòlè Mwen, Mwen te frape ou e nan gras Mwen, Mwen te fè ou mizerikòd.
And men from strange countries will be building up your walls, and their kings will be your servants: for in my wrath I sent punishment on you, but in my grace I have had mercy on you.
11 Pòtay ou yo va vin louvri nèt tout tan; yo p ap fèmen ni lajounen, ni lannwit, pou yo kapab pote bay ou richès a tout nasyon yo, ak wa yo kon kaptif.
Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.
12 Paske nasyon ak wayòm ki p ap sèvi ou a va peri; wi, nasyon sa yo va fin detwi nèt.
For the nation or kingdom which will not be your servant will come to destruction; such nations will be completely waste.
13 “Glwa a Liban an va rive kote ou, bwa pichpen an, bwa sèd ak bwa blan pou anbeli plas sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen va fè plas pye Mwen yo vin plen glwa.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the sherbin-tree together, to make my holy place beautiful; and the resting-place of my feet will be full of glory.
14 Fis a sila ki te aflije ou yo va vin bese devan ou e tout sila ki te meprize ou yo va bese yo menm devan pla pye ou. Yo va rele ou vil SENYÈ a, Sion a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.
And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Konsi, ou te abandone e rayi, pou pèsòn pa pase ladann, Mwen va fè ou vin plen ak majeste, yon objè lajwa de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
And though you were turned away from, and hated, and had no helper, I will make you a pride for ever, a joy from generation to generation.
16 Anplis, ou va souse lèt a nasyon yo, e ou va souse tete a wa yo. Konsa, ou va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, se Sovè ou e Redanmtè ou, Sila Ki Pwisan a Jacob la.
And you will take the milk of the nations, flowing from the breast of kings; and you will see that I, the Lord, am your saviour, and he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.
17 Olye bwonz, Mwen va pote lò; olye fè, Mwen va pote ajan; olye bwa, Mwen va pote bwonz e olye wòch, Mwen va pote fè. Anplis, Mwen va fè lapè vin chèf ou e ladwati kon konseye ou.
In place of brass, I will give gold, and for iron silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: and I will make Peace your judge, and Righteousness your overseer.
18 Vyolans p ap tande ankò nan peyi ou, ni devastasyon oswa destriksyon anndan lizyè ou; men ou va rele miray ou yo: “Sali” e pòtay ou yo: “Lwanj”.
Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.
19 Ou p ap sèvi solèy la pou limyè lajounen ankò, ni klate lalin a nan pou ba ou limyè; men ou va gen SENYÈ a kon yon limyè etènèl e Bondye ou kon glwa ou.
The sun will not be your light by day, and the moon will no longer be bright for you by night: but the Lord will be to you an eternal light, and your God your glory.
20 Solèy ou p ap bese ankò, ni lalin nan p ap febli; paske ou va gen SENYÈ a kon limyè etènèl e jou ke ou kriye ak gwo doulè yo va fini.
Your sun will never again go down, or your moon keep back her light: for the Lord will be your eternal light, and the days of your sorrow will be ended.
21 Epi tout moun ou yo va dwat, Yo va posede peyi a jis pou tout tan; branch ke M te plante a, zèv a men M yo, pou M kapab resevwa glwa.
Your people will all be upright, the land will be their heritage for ever; the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, to be for my glory.
22 Pi piti a va devni yon gran pèp e pi piti menm nan, yon nasyon pwisan. Mwen, SENYÈ a va fè l prese rive nan lè l.”
The smallest of their families will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, the Lord, will make it come quickly in its time.
