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 Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

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 nations shall see thy righteousness, 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 crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem 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.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

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 young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over 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 have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are the LORD’S remembrancers, take ye no rest,

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

and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

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 sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink 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 have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

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 ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.

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!’”

Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence 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 called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
