Ezayi 63
1 Se kilès sa ki sòti Edom an, avèk vètman Botsra byen kolore a? Kilès sila a, ak abiman majeste Li, k ap mache nan grandè ak fòs li a? “Se Mwen menm ki pale nan ladwati, ki pwisan pou delivre a.”
Who is this that cometh from Edom? In scarlet garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? I that proclaim deliverance, And am mighty to save.
2 Poukisa abiman Ou wouj e vètman Ou tankou sila k ap mache nan kivèt diven an?
Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine-vat?
3 “Mwen te foule nan kivèt diven an sèl, Pami pèp yo, pa t gen moun avè M. Anplis, Mwen te foule yo nan kòlè Mwen, e Mwen te mache kraze yo nan kòlè Mwen an. Gout san lavi yo te flite sou abiman Mwen e Mwen te tache tout vètman Mwen yo.
I have trodden the wine-vat alone, And of the nations there was none with me. And I trod them in mine anger, And I trampled them in my fury, So that their life-blood was sprinkled upon my garments. And I have stained all my apparel.
4 Paske jou vanjans lan te nan kè M; e ane racha a M yo rive.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, And the year of my deliverance was come.
5 Mwen te gade e pa t gen pèsòn pou ede; Mwen te etone ke pa t gen pèsòn pou bay soutyen. Akoz sa pwòp bra M te pote Sali Mwen e kòlè Mwen te fè M kanpe.
And I looked, and there was none to help, And I wondered, that there was none to uphold; Therefore my own arm wrought salvation for me, And my fury, it sustained me.
6 Mwen te foule nasyon yo byen ba nan kòlè Mwen; Mwen te fè yo sou nan kòlè Mwen. Mwen te vide san lavi yo sou tè a.”
I trod down the nations in my anger; I crushed them in my fury, And spilled their blood upon the ground.
7 Mwen va pale de lanmou dous SENYÈ a, ak lwanj SENYÈ a. Apre tout sa ke SENYÈ a te bannou, ak gran bonte anvè lakay Israël ke Li te bay yo, selon labondans konpasyon li, epi selon gran mizerikòd Li.
I will celebrate the mercy of Jehovah, the glory of Jehovah, According to all that he hath done for us; His great goodness to the house of Israel, Which he hath bestowed on it in his tender mercy, and his great kindness.
8 Paske Li te di: “Anverite, yo se pèp Mwen, fis ki p ap aji nan manti.” Pou sa, Li te devni Sovè yo.
He said, Truly they are my people; Children that will not be false; So he was their deliverer.
9 Nan tout afliksyon yo, Li te aflije e zanj a prezans Li an te sove yo. Nan lanmou dous Li a ak mizerikòd Li, Li te rachte yo. Li te leve yo, e te pote yo pandan tout ansyen jou yo.
In all their straits they had no distress; An angel of his presence saved them; In his love and compassion he redeemed them, He took them up and bore them all the days of old.
10 Men yo te fè rebèl e konsa, yo te fè Lespri Sen Li an vin tris. Akoz sa, Li te vire Li menm, e Li te devni lènmi yo; Li te goumen kont yo pou kont Li.
But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit; Then did he change himself into their enemy; He himself fought against them.
11 Men konsa, Li a te vin sonje ansyen jou yo ak Moïse e pèp Li. Li te di “Kote Li, Sila ki te fè yo monte sòti nan lanmè ak bèje a bann mouton Li yo? Kote Li, Sila ki te mete Lespri Sen Li nan mitan yo a?”
Then remembered his people the ancient days, the days of Moses, [[saying, ]] Where is he that brought them up from the sea with the shepherd of his flock? Where is he that put his holy spirit within him?
12 Ki te fè men glwa Li a ale akote men dwat Moïse la? Ki te divize dlo yo devan yo pou fè pou pwòp tèt Li yon non ki ta dire pou tout tan?
That caused his glorious arm to accompany the right hand of Moses, That divided the water before them, To make to himself an everlasting name?
13 Ki te mennen yo atravè fon yo tankou cheval nan dezè a, pou yo pa chape tonbe?
That led them through the deep, As a horse through a desert, without stumbling?
14 Tankou bèt ki te desann nan vale yo, Lespri SENYÈ a te bay yo repo. Konsa, Ou te mennen pèp Ou a pou fè pou Ou yon non ki plen laglwa.
As the herd descendeth into the valley, The spirit of Jehovah led them to rest. So didst thou lead thy people, To make for thyself a glorious name.
15 Gade anba depi nan syèl la e wè soti nan abitasyon sen Ou ki plen ak glwa Ou. Kote zèl Ou ak zèv pwisan Ou yo? Santiman a kè ou ak konpasyon Ou te vin anpeche de mwen.
Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy and glorious habitation! Where is thy zeal and thy might? Thy pity and compassion for me, are they restrained?
16 Paske Ou se Papa nou, malgre Abraham pa rekonèt nou, ni Israël pa rekonèt nou. Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Ou se Papa nou, Redanmtè nou soti nan tan ansyen yo se non Ou.
Thou, surely, art our father; Abraham is ignorant of us, And Israel knoweth us not. Thou, O Jehovah, art our father; Our deliverer wast thou of old.
17 Poukisa, O SENYÈ, Ou fè nou egare kite chemen Ou yo? E te fè kè nou di pou nou pa gen lakrent Ou? Pou koz sèvitè Ou yo, tribi a eritaj Ou yo, retounen.
Why, O Jehovah, dost thou suffer us to wander from thy ways, And harden our hearts against thy fear? Return, for thy servants' sake, The tribes of thine inheritance!
18 Pèp sen Ou yo te posede sanktyè Ou a pou yon ti tan; advèsè nou yo te foule li ba nèt.
But a little while did thy holy people possess the land; Then our enemies trampled upon thy sanctuary.
19 Nou te vin sanble ak sila ke Ou pa t janm gouvène yo, tankou sila ki pa t rele pa non Ou yo.
It has been with us as if thou hadst never ruled over us, As if we had not been called by thy name.
