Ezayi 62

1 Pou koz Sion, Mwen p ap rete an silans e pou koz Jérusalem, Mwen p ap rete san pawòl, jiskaske ladwati li vin parèt tankou gran limyè e sali li tankou yon tòch k ap brile.

For Zions sake I will not holde my tongue, and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vntil the righteousnes thereof breake foorth as the light, and saluation thereof as a burning lampe.

2 Nasyon yo va wè ladwati ou e tout wa yo glwa ou. Konsa, ou va rele pa yon non nouvo ke bouch SENYÈ a va bay.

And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

3 Anplis, ou va yon kouwòn byen bèl nan men SENYÈ a, e yon dyadèm wayal nan men Bondye ou a.

Thou shalt also be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royall diademe in the hand of thy God.

4 Sa p ap di a ou menm ankò: “Abandone”, ni a peyi ou, yo p ap di ankò: “Dezole”; men ou va rele: “Plezi Mwen nan li”, epi peyi ou: “Marye”. Paske SENYÈ a pran plezi nan ou e a Li menm, peyi ou va marye.

It shall no more be sayd vnto thee, Forsaken, neither shall it be said any more to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord deliteth in thee, and thy land shall haue an husband.

5 Paske menm jan ke yon jennonm marye ak yon vyèj, konsa fis ou yo va marye avèk ou; epi menm jan jennonm maryaj la ap rejwi ak jenn fi maryaj la, konsa Bondye ou a va rejwi ak ou.

For as a yong man marieth a virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as a bridegrome is glad of the bride, so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee.

6 Sou miray ou yo, O Jérusalem, Mwen te plase gadyen yo. Tout lajounen ak tout lannwit, yo p ap janm rete an silans. Nou menm ki raple SENYÈ a, pa pran repo pou tèt nou;

I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles, O Ierusalem, which all the day and all the night continually shall not cease: ye that are mindfull of the Lord, keepe not silence,

7 ni pa bay Li repo jiskaske Li etabli e fè Jérusalem yon lwanj sou tout tè a.

And giue him no rest, till hee repaire and vntill hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde.

8 SENYÈ a te sèmante pa men dwat Li e pa men pwisan Li: “Mwen p ap janm bay sereyal pa ou ankò kon manje pou lènmi ou yo; ni etranje yo p ap janm bwè diven nèf pou sila ou te depanse fòs ou a.”

The Lord hath sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meate for thine enemies, and surely the sonnes of the strangers shall not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured.

9 Men sila ki ranmase li, se yo k ap manje li e louwe SENYÈ a. Sila ki rekòlte li yo va bwè li nan lakou sanktiyè pa Mwen an.

But they that haue gathered it, shall eate it, and prayse the Lord, and the gatherers thereof shall drinke it in the courtes of my Sanctuarie.

10 Antre ladann, antre nan pòtay yo! Netwaye chemen an pou pèp la! Bati, bati chemen an! Retire wòch yo, leve yon drapo sou nasyon yo.

Go through, go through the gates: prepare you the way for the people: cast vp, cast vp the way, and gather out the stones and set vp a standart for the people.

11 Gade byen, SENYÈ a te pwoklame a pwent tè a: “Di a fi Sion an: ‘Men sali ou a rive! Gade byen rekonpans Li avè L e rekonpans Li devan L!’”

Beholde, the Lord hath proclaimed vnto the endes of the world: tell the daughter Zion, Beholde, thy Sauiour commeth: beholde, his wages is with him, and his worke is before him.

12 Konsa, yo va rele yo: “Pèp sen an, rachte a SENYÈ yo”. Ou va rele: “Sila Ki Chache e ki vin twouve a, Yon Vil Ki Pa Abandone.”

And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be named, A citie sought out and not forsaken.
