< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Kilès sa a k'ap vini sot lavil Bozra nan peyi Edon an, ak yon rad tou wouj sou li a? L'ap mache byen bwòdè ak bèl rad li sou li. L'ap mache tèt li byen wo, l'ap pile tè a byen fò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki gen pouvwa pou delivre moun lan, k'ap pale sou koze delivrans lan.
2 — Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
Poukisa rad sou ou yo wouj konsa, tankou rad moun k'ap kraze rezen anba pye yo pou fè diven nan basen?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.
Seyè a reponn: -Mwen te pou kont mwen ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye m', tankou rezen nan basen. Pa t' gen yon moun nan pèp mwen an ki te la avè m'. Mwen fè kòlè, mwen mache sou yo, m' pilonnen yo anba pye m' sitèlman mwen te fache. San yo benyen tout rad mwen, li tache yo byen tache.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.
Mwen te chwazi nan kè m' jou pou m' te tire revanj pou pèp mwen an. Lè pou m' te pini lènmi l' yo te rive.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Lè m' gade, mwen te sezi. Pa t' gen yon moun pou ban m' yon koutmen. Pa t' gen pesonn pou ban m' konkou. Men, mwen te sitèlman an kòlè, mwen jwenn kont fòs nan ponyèt mwen, mwen kenbe jouk mwen fin delivre yo.
6 And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.
Mwen fè yon sèl kòlè, mwen kraze yon bann pèp. Mwen dechèpiye yo sitèlman mwen te fache. Mwen fè dlo kò yo benyen kò yo.
7 I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
M'a chante pou m' fè konnen tout bèl bagay Seyè a fè pou nou. M'a fè lwanj li pou tou sa li fè pou nou, pou jan li bon pou moun fanmi Izrayèl yo. Li moutre nou jan li gen kè sansib pou nou, jan li renmen nou anpil.
8 And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.
Seyè a te di se pèp mwen yo ye, m' sèten yo p'ap fè m' wont. Se konsa, li delivre yo
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.
nan tout tèt chaje yo. Se pa t' yon moun ni yon zanj li te voye fè travay la pou li. Se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Li sitèlman renmen yo, kè l' sitèlman fè l' mal pou yo, se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Nan tan lontan, li te toujou pran swen yo.
10 But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.
Men, yo te fè wòklò avè l', yo te fè l' lapenn anpil. Se konsa Seyè a te tounen yon lènmi pou yo, li fè yo lagè.
11 But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,
Men, yo chonje tan lontan, yo vin chonje Moyiz. Yo mande koulye a: Kote Bondye ki te rale yo sot nan lanmè a, Bondye ki te mete Moyiz mache devan yo tankou yon gadò pou bann mouton l' yo? Kote Bondye ki te bay Moyiz pouvwa lespri li a?
12 his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
Kote Bondye ki te kanpe sou bò dwat Moyiz la pou fè gwo mèvèy ak fòs ponyèt li, lè li te fann dlo a devan yo pou tout moun te ka toujou chonje sa l' te fè a?
13 — who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?
Lè Bondye te fè yo mache nan fon lanmè a tankou chwal nan sab dezè, san yo pa janm bite,
14 As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
tankou bèf k'ap desann nan plenn pou y' al manje, lespri Seyè a te mennen yo kote pou yo poze. Wi, se konsa Seyè a te mache devan pèp li a, pou tout moun te ka toujou nonmen non l' pou jan li gen pouvwa.
15 Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?
Seyè, antan ou nan syèl la, nan bèl kay ki apa pou ou a, tanpri, voye je ou gade nou non! Jan ou te fè jalouzi pou nou sa a! Jan ou te kanpe pou nou ak kouraj ou sa a! Jan ou te renmen nou sa a! Jan ou te konn gen pitye pou nou sa a! Kote ou kite tou sa? Gen lè ou fèmen kè ou!
16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.
Se ou menm ki papa nou. Abraram pa konnen nou. Izrayèl pa rekonèt nou! Se ou menm, Seyè, ki papa nou. Se ou menm ki toujou delivre nou!
17 Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Poukisa atò ou kite nou pèdi chemen ou te mete devan nou an, ou kite nou lage kò nou nan raje? Poukisa ou kite nou fè tèt di, ou kite nou pèdi krentif nou te gen pou ou a? Tanpri, tounen vin jwenn nou non, poutèt moun k'ap sèvi ou yo, poutèt pèp ki toujou moun pa ou la!
18 Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Nou poko chita, lènmi nou yo te gen tan pran peyi a nan men nou, yo derespekte tanp ou a.
19 We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
Depi kèk tan ou sèvi ak nou tankou si se pa ou ki chèf nou ankò, tankou si nou pa pèp ou a ankò.
