Isaiah 42
1 “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
“Gade byen, men Sèvitè Mwen an, ke M ap soutni an; sila ke M chwazi a, ki fè nanm Mwen plezi a. Mwen te mete Lespri M sou Li. Li va mennen fè lajistis vin parèt devan nasyon yo.
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
Li p ap kriye menm, ni leve vwa l, ni fè vwa l tande nan lari.
3 He will not break a bruised reed. He will not quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
Yon wozo ki brize, Li p ap kase, e yon fisèl bouji ki brile fèb, Li p ap etenn. Ak fidelite, Li va mennen lajistis e fè l vin parèt.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
Li p ap dekouraje oswa vin kraze jiskaske Li etabli lajistis sou tout latè, epi peyi kot yo va tann lalwa Li.”
5 God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
Konsa pale Bondye SENYÈ a ki te kreye syèl yo e ki tann yo, ki te fè latè vin laj ak tout sa ki viv ladann, ki bay souf a tout pèp ki vivan sou li, e lespri lavi a tout moun ki mache ladann,
6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
Mwen menm se SENYÈ a. Mwen te rele Ou nan ladwati. Anplis, Mwen va kenbe Ou nan men. Mwen va pran swen Ou. Mwen va chwazi Ou kon yon akò pou pèp la, kon yon limyè pou nasyon yo,
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
pou ouvri zye avèg yo, pou mennen prizonye yo sòti nan kacho a, e fè sila ki viv nan tenèb yo sòti nan prizon an.
8 “I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
“Mwen se SENYÈ a. Sa se non Mwen. Mwen p ap bay glwa Mwen a yon lòt, ni lwanj Mwen a imaj taye.
9 Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
Gade byen, ansyen bagay yo te fin akonpli; koulye a, Mwen deklare bagay nèf yo. Avan yo leve vin parèt, Mwen pwoklame yo a nou menm.”
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
Chante a SENYÈ a yon chan tounèf, lwanj Li jis rive nan dènye pwent latè! Nou menm ki desann nan lanmè a, ak tout sa ki ladann, nou menm lil yo ak sila ki viv sou yo.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
Kite dezè a ak vil li yo leve vwa yo; anplasman kote Kédar rete a. Kite sila ki rete nan Sela la chante anlè; kite yo chante ak kè kontan soti nan wotè mòn yo.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Kite yo bay glwa a SENYÈ a e deklare lwanj Li nan peyi kot yo.
13 The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
SENYÈ a va avanse tankou yon gèrye, li va chofe zèl Li tankou yon nonm lagè. Li va kriye fò, wi Li va leve yon kri lagè. Li va enpoze Li sou lènmi Li yo.
14 “I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
Mwen te rete an silans depi lontan sa. Mwen te rete kalm e te kontwole Mwen. Koulye a, tankou yon fanm k ap fè pitit, Mwen va plenyen. Mwen va rale gwo souf e respire fò.
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
Mwen va ravaje tout mòn yo ak kolin yo, e zèb ak raje yo va vin fennen nèt. Mwen va fè rivyè lafen lil yo, e seche letan.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
Mwen va mennen avèg yo pa yon chemen yo pa konnen, nan wout yo pa konnen, Mwen va gide yo. Mwen va fè tenèb la vin limyè devan yo e move kote yo va vin plat. Se bagay sa yo Mwen va fè e Mwen p ap kite yo pa fèt.
17 “Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
“Sila ki mete konfyans yo nan zidòl yo e ki di a imaj fonn yo: ‘Se nou menm ki dye pa nou’, va voye tounen pa dèyè e va vin wont nèt.
18 “Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
“Tande, nou menm ki soud! Epi gade, nou menm ki avèg, pou nou ka wè.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD’s servant?
Se kilès ki avèg sof ke sèvitè Mwen an, oswa tèlman soud tankou mesaje ke Mwen voye a? Se kilès ki avèg tankou sila ki anpè avè M, oswa tèlman avèg tankou sèvitè a SENYÈ a?
20 You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not listen.
Nou te wè anpil bagay, men nou pa swiv yo; zòrèy nou louvri, men nanpwen moun ki tande.
21 It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
SENYÈ a te kontan pou koz ladwati Li; pou fè lalwa a gran e plen respe.
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
Men pèp sa a se yon pèp depouye e piyaje. Yo tout kole nan kav yo oswa kache nan prizon yo. Yo devni viktim san okenn moun ki pou delivre yo; yon piyaj san okenn moun ki pou di: “Restore yo!”
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Se kilès pami nou k ap prete zòrèy a sa a? Kilès k ap okipe sa e kòmanse koute depi koulye a?
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
Se kilès ki te livre Jacob pou l depouye e Israël a piyajè yo? Èske se pa t SENYÈ a, kont sila nou te peche a? Paske yo te refize mache nan chemen Li yo; ni yo pa t swiv lalwa Li.
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he did not know. It burned him, but he did not take it to heart.”
Pou sa, Li te vide sou li chalè kòlè Li ak fòs kouraj batay la. Sa te fè l pran flanm toupatou, men li pa t rekonèt sa a. Li t ap brile l, men li pa t okipe sa.”
