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 who comes from Edom, clothed in red from Bozrah? Who is he in royal clothing, marching confidently because of his great strength? It is I, speaking righteousness and powerfully able to save.
2 Poukisa abiman Ou wouj e vètman Ou tankou sila k ap mache nan kivèt diven an?
Why are your clothes red, and why do they look like you have been treading grapes in a winepress?
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 grapes in the winepress alone, and no one from the nations joined me. I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my fury. Their blood is spattered on my clothes and stained all my clothes.
4 Paske jou vanjans lan te nan kè M; e ane racha a M yo rive.
For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and the year for my redemption had arrived.
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.
I looked, and there was no one to help. I wondered that there was none to help, but my own arm brought victory for me, and my strong anger drove me on.
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 trampled down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their blood on the earth.
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 tell of the acts of Yahweh's covenant faithfulness, the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh. I will tell of all that Yahweh has done for us, and of his great goodness to the house of Israel. This compassion he has shown us because of his mercy, and with many deeds of covenant faithfulness.
8 Paske Li te di: “Anverite, yo se pèp Mwen, fis ki p ap aji nan manti.” Pou sa, Li te devni Sovè yo.
For he said, “For certain they are my people, children who are not disloyal.” He became their Savior.
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.
Through all their suffering, he suffered too, and the angel from his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he saved them, and he lifted them up and carried them through all the ancient times.
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. So he became their enemy and 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?”
His people thought about the ancient times of Moses. They said, “Where is God, who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is God, who put his Holy Spirit among them?
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?
Where is God, who made his glorious power go with the right hand of Moses, and divided the water before them, to make an everlasting name for himself?
13 Ki te mennen yo atravè fon yo tankou cheval nan dezè a, pou yo pa chape tonbe?
Where is God, who led them through the deep water? Like a horse running on flat land, they did 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 the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh gave them rest. So you led your people, to make yourself a name of praise.
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 take notice from your holy and glorious habitation. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? Your pity and your compassionate actions are kept from us.
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 you are our father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not recognize us, you, Yahweh, are our father. 'Our Redeemer' has been your name from ancient times.
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.
Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways and harden our hearts, so we do not obey you? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Pèp sen Ou yo te posede sanktyè Ou a pou yon ti tan; advèsè nou yo te foule li ba nèt.
Your people possessed your holy place for a short time, but then our enemies trampled it.
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 you never ruled, like those who were never called by your name.”
