Ezayi 61
1 Lespri Senyè BONDYE a sou mwen, akoz SENYÈ a te onksyone mwen pou pote bòn nouvèl a moun aflije yo. Li te voye mwen pou bay soutyen a sila ak kè brize yo, pou pwoklame libète a kaptif yo e delivrans a prizonye yo;
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
2 pou pwoklame lane gras SENYÈ a e jou a vanjans Bondye nou an; pou konsole tout moun ak kè ki tris,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
3 pou fè pwovizyon pou sila ak kè tris Sion yo; pou bay yo yon bèl kouwòn pou ranplase sann yo, ak lwil kè kontan pou ranplase tristès la, ak abiman lwanj pou ranplase lespri kraze a. Konsa, yo va rele pye chenn ladwati, yon plantasyon SENYÈ a, pou Li kapab resevwa glwa.
to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4 Yo va rebati ansyen mazi yo, yo va fè leve wo sa ki te kraze depi lontan yo. Yo va repare vil ki te detwi yo, dezolasyon de anpil jenerasyon yo.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Etranje yo va kanpe pou okipe bann mouton nou yo, e pitit a etranje yo va kiltivatè tè nou, ak chan rezen nou yo.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6 Men nou va rele kon prèt SENYÈ a; Lèzòm va rele nou sèvitè yo a Bondye nou an. Nou va manje richès a nasyon yo, e nan richès pa yo, nou va vante tèt nou.
But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
7 Olye de wont nou, nou va gen yon pòsyon doub; olye de imilyasyon, yo va rele ak lajwa sou pòsyon pa yo. Akoz sa, yo va posede yon pòsyon doub nan peyi yo; lajwa etènèl la va pou yo.
Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 Paske Mwen, SENYÈ a, renmen lajistis; Mwen rayi vòl ak malfezans. Ak fidelite Mwen va bay yo rekonpans yo, e Mwen va fè yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk yo.
For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Desandan pa yo va rekonèt pami nasyon yo, e posterite yo nan mitan a tout pèp yo. Tout moun ki wè yo va rekonèt yo, akoz yo se desandan ke SENYÈ a te beni yo.
Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
10 Mwen va rejwi anpil nan SENYÈ a; nanm mwen va rejwi anpil nan Bondyè mwen an, paske Li te abiye mwen ak vètman sali yo. Li te vlope m nan yon manto ladwati, tankou yon jennonm fenk marye dekore kò l ak yon kouwòn; e tankou yon jenn fi maryaj abiye kò l ak bijou.
I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 Paske jan tè a fè boujon li vin parèt la, jaden an fè bagay ki simen ladann yo vin pete grandi, konsa Senyè BONDYE a va fè ladwati ak lwanj pete grandi devan tout nasyon yo.
For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
