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 coming in from Edom With bright-red garments, from Bozrah? This made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save.
2 Poukisa abiman Ou wouj e vètman Ou tankou sila k ap mache nan kivèt diven an?
Wherefore is there red, on thy raiment, —And thy garments as of one treading in a wine-trough?
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.
A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And of the peoples, there was no man with me. So I trod them down in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation, —And their life-blood besprinkled my garments, And all mine apparel, I defiled;
4 Paske jou vanjans lan te nan kè M; e ane racha a M yo rive.
For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And the year of my redeemed, had 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.
Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help, —And I was astonished that there was none to uphold, —So, mine own arm brought me salvation, And mine indignation, the same upheld 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.”
Then trod I down peoples in mine anger, And make them drunk with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life-blood.
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.
The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, —Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them—According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.
8 Paske Li te di: “Anverite, yo se pèp Mwen, fis ki p ap aji nan manti.” Pou sa, Li te devni Sovè yo.
Therefore he said—Surely my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! So he became their saviour.
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 affliction, he, was afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them, —And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.
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, —And so he turned against them as an 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 were recalled the days of the age-past time Moses—his people: —Where is he that led them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put within him his Holy Spirit?
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 to go at the right hand of Moses his own majestic arm, —Cleaving the waters from before them, To make himself an age-abiding name:
13 Ki te mennen yo atravè fon yo tankou cheval nan dezè a, pou yo pa chape tonbe?
Causing them to go through the roaring deeps, —Like a horse through the wilderness, That they should not stumble?
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 a beast, into the valley, goeth down, The Spirit of Yahweh, causeth him to rest, So, didst thou lead thy people, To make thyself a majestic 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 thou down, out of the heavens and see, Out of the high abode of thy holiness and of thy majesty, —Where are thy jealousy, and thy mighty deeds? The resounding of thy yearning affection, and thy compassions towards 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.
For, thou, art our father, Though, Abraham, knew us not, And Israel could not acknowledge us, —Thou, O Yahweh, art our father, Our Redeemer from the Age-past time, is thy name.
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.
Wherefore shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? Wherefore shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou for the sake of Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.
18 Pèp sen Ou yo te posede sanktyè Ou a pou yon ti tan; advèsè nou yo te foule li ba nèt.
For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, —Our adversaries, trod down 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.
We have become like those Over whom from age-past times, thou hast not ruled, Who have never been called by thy name!
