Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut.
Seyè a te chwazi wa Siris pou fè travay li. Li ba li men pou tout nasyon soumèt devan li. Li voye l' pou l' wete pouvwa wa yo, l'ap louvri de batan pòtay lavil yo devan li. P'ap gen pòtay k'ap rete fèmen pou li. Men sa Seyè a di wa Siris:
2 I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron.
-Se mwen menm k'ap louvri chemen pou ou. M'ap fè mòn yo vin plat. M'ap kraze gwo pòtay an kwiv yo. M'ap kase ba fè yo de bout.
3 And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
M'a ba ou tout richès ki sere kote ki fènwa a, richès ki kache nan depo kote moun pa konnen. Lè sa a, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te rele ou fè travay sa a.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me.
Mwen te rele ou pou ou te ka delivre fanmi Jakòb yo, sèvitè m' yo, moun pèp Izrayèl mwen te chwazi a. Mwen ba ou grad atout ou pa t' konnen m' lan.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Pa gen lòt! Se mwen menm sèl ki Bondye. Se mwen ki ba ou tout fòs ou atout ou pa t' konnen m' lan.
6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
Mwen fè sa pou tout moun sou latè, depi kote solèy leve jouk kote solèy kouche, ka konnen pa gen lòt bondye pase mwen menm! Se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Pa gen lòt!
7 I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
Mwen mete limyè, mwen mete fènwa! Mwen bay kè poze, mwen bay kè sote. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki fè tou sa.
8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.
M'ap rete nan syèl la, m'ap voye fòs pouvwa sou nou tankou lapli, pou nou ka gen batay la. Latè pral louvri de bra l' pou resevwa l'. Delivrans pral fleri sou latè, lajistis pral boujonnen toupatou. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap fè tou sa rive.
9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?
Madichon pou moun k'ap diskite ak Bondye ki fè l' la! Li tankou yon krich nan mitan yon bann krich. Yon krich pa ka di moun k'ap ba li fòm lan: Sa w'ap fè la a? Travay ou fè a pa bon.
10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
Madichon pou pitit k'ap di papa l' ki kalite pitit ou fè la a. Madichon pou pitit k'ap di manman l' ki kalite pitit ou met sou latè a la a!
11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa, li menm ki te fòme l' la, men sa li di: -N'ap mande m' sa m' pral fè pou pitit mwen yo? N'ap di m' sa pou m' fè?
12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
Se mwen menm ki te fè latè. Mwen kreye moun pou yo viv sou latè. Se mwen menm ki te louvri syèl la ak men mwen. Mwen kontwole tou sa ki nan syèl la: solèy, lalin ak tout bann zetwal yo.
13 I have raised him up to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
Se mwen menm ki fè wa Siris kanpe pou li mete jistis sou latè. M'ap louvri tout wout devan li. Se li menm ki pral rebati lavil mwen an. L'ap fè moun pa m' yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo san yo pa bezwen peye anyen, ni yo p'ap bezwen fè kado anyen pou sa. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa!
14 Thus saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Tout pwofi travay moun Lejip yo ak pwofi kòmès moun Letiopi yo pral vin pou nou. Moun bèl wotè ki rete nan peyi Seba yo va pase nan peyi nou an, y'a vin esklav nou. Y'a mache dèyè nou tankou prizonye nan chenn. Y'a mete ajenou devan nou, y'a lapriyè nan pye nou, y'a di: Se lakay nou ase Bondye rete. Nanpwen lòt bondye tankou li. Nanpwen lòt bondye pase l'.
15 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
Tansèlman se yon Bondye moun pa ka wè. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se li ki konn delivre moun!
16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
Moun k'ap fè estati yo pral wont, yo tout pral tèt bese. Moun pral pase yo nan betiz.
17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
Men, Seyè a ap delivre pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan. Nou p'ap janm wont ankò, nou p'ap janm bese tèt nou ankò devan pesonn jouk sa kaba.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Se Seyè a ki kreye syèl la. Se li menm sèlman ki Bondye. Se li menm ki fè latè, ki ba li fòm li. Se li menm ki fè l' chita fèm. Li pa t' fè l' pou l' te tounen yon dezè, men pou l' te yon kote pou moun rete. Men sa li di: Se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Nanpwen lòt.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
Se pa an kachèt mwen te pale, ni nan yon kote ki fè nwa. Mwen pa t' di moun ras Jakòb yo pou yo chache m' kote ki pa gen anyen. Mwen menm, se Seyè a mwen ye. Mwen pale laverite, mwen fè konnen sa ki dwe fèt.
20 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot save.
Seyè a di ankò: -Sanble non! Sanble, moun lòt nasyon yo: Pwoche non! Pwoche devan tribinal la non, nou menm ki rive chape yo! Bann moun k'ap plede fè posesyon ak zidòl an bwa yo, k'ap lapriyè bondye ki pa ka delivre yo, yo pa konn anyen!
21 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.
Vin plede kòz nou! Mete tèt nou ansanm pou nou konnen sa nou pral di! Kilès moun ki te di davans sa ki gen pou rive a? Kilès ki te fè konnen sa depi lontan? Se pa t' mwen menm, Seyè a? Nanpwen lòt bondye pase mwen menm. Mwen se Bondye ki pa nan patipri. Se mwen ki ka delivre moun.
22 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
Tounen vin jwenn mwen pou nou ka delivre, nou tout ki rete sou latè! Paske se mwen ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt!
23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
Mwen fè sèman sou tèt mwen, sa m'ap di la a se laverite klè. Pesonn p'ap ka demanti pawòl mwen yo. Tout moun pral vin ajenou devan mwen. Nan tout lang, y'ap pran non mwen pou yo fè sèman.
24 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
Y'a di: Se nan Seyè a sèl nou jwenn jistis ak fòs kouraj! Tout moun ki t'ap kenbe tèt avè l' yo pral wont, y'ap vin nan pye l'.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
Men, gremesi Seyè a, moun ras Izrayèl yo pral kanpe ankò. Yo pral fè lwanj mwen.
