< 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 Lord YHWH [is] on Me, Because YHWH anointed Me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent Me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And an opening of bands to [those] bound.
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 favor of YHWH, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
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 appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a faded spirit, And He is calling to them, Trees of righteousness, The planting of YHWH—to be beautified.”
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.
And they have built the ancient ruins, They raise up the desolations of the ancients, And they have renewed ruined cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
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.
And strangers have stood and fed your flock, And the sons of a foreigner [Are] your farmers and your 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.
And you are called priests of YHWH, It is said of you [that you are] ministers of our God, You consume the strength of nations, And you boast yourselves in their glory.
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 your shame—double [honor], And [instead of] confusion, They rejoice in their portion, Therefore they take possession in their land a second time, Continuous joy [is] for them.
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 [am] YHWH, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And I make a perpetual covenant for 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.
And their seed has been known among the nations, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed YHWH 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 greatly rejoice in YHWH, My soul rejoices in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, [And] covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom prepares ornaments, And as a bride puts on 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 her shoots, And as a garden causes its sown things to shoot up, So Lord YHWH causes righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
