Isaiah 43

1 But nowe thus sayeth the Lord, that created thee, O Iaakob: and hee that formed thee, O Israel, Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name, thou art mine.

Men koulye a, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Kreyatè ou a, O Jacob, e Sila ki te fòme ou a, O Israël: “Pa pè, paske Mwen te rachte ou. Mwen te rele ou pa non ou. Se pa M ou ye!

2 When thou passest through the waters, I wil be with thee, and through the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle vpon thee.

Lè w ap pase nan gwo dlo yo, Mwen va la avèk ou; epi nan rivyè yo, yo p ap debòde sou ou. Lè w ap mache nan dife a, ou p ap brile, ni flanm nan p ap brile ou.

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Sauiour: I gaue Egypt for thy ransome, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.

Paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, Sila Ki Sen en Israël la, Sovè ou a. Mwen te bay Égypte kon ranson ou Cush ak Saba nan plas ou.

4 Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honourable, and I loued thee, therefore will I giue man for thee, and people for thy sake.

Akoz ou presye nan zye M, akoz ou gen gran valè e Mwen renmen ou, Mwen va bay lòt moun nan plas ou e lòt pèp an echanj pou lavi ou.

5 Feare not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seede from the East, and gather thee from the West.

Pa pè, paske Mwen avèk ou; Mwen va mennen desandan ou yo soti nan lès e ranmase ou nan lwès.

6 I will say to the North, Giue: and to the South, Keepe not backe: bring my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.

Mwen va di a nò: ‘Lage yo!’ Epi a sid: ‘Pa anpeche yo!’ Mennen fis Mwen yo soti lwen e fi Mwen yo soti nan dènye pwent latè yo—

7 Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.

tout moun ki rele pa non Mwen e ke Mwen te kreye pou glwa Mwen, ke M te fòme, menm sa ke m te fè.”

8 I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.

Mennen fè parèt pèp ki avèg la, malgre yo gen zye e soud la, malgre yo gen zòrèy.

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this and shewe vs former things? let them bring foorth their witnesses, that they may be iustified: but let them heare, and say, It is truth.

Kite tout nasyon yo reyini ansanm e tout pèp yo rasanble. Kilès pami yo ki kapab deklare sa e pwoklame a nou menm bagay a tan ansyen yo? Kite yo prezante temwen pa yo pou yo ka jistifye, oswa kite yo tande e di: “Sa se vrè”.

10 You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my seruant, whom I haue chosen: therefore yee shall knowe and beleeue me and yee shall vnderstand that I am: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

“Nou se temwen Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ak sèvitè ke M te chwazi; pou nou ka konnen, kwè nan Mwen e konprann ke Mwen se Li menm nan. Avan Mwen, pa t gen lòt Bondye ki te fòme e apre Mwen, p ap gen menm.

11 I, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.

Mwen menm, Mwen se SENYÈ a e nanpwen sovè apa de Mwen menm.

12 I haue declared, and I haue saued, and I haue shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, sayeth the Lord, that I am God.

Se Mwen ki te deklare, sove, pwoklame e pat genyen dye etranje pami nou. Konsa, nou se temwen M”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen se Bondye.

13 Yea, before the day was, I am, and there is none that can deliuer out of mine hand: I will doe it, and who shall let it?

Menm depi nan letènite, Mwen se Li menm e pa genyen moun ki ka delivre fè sòti nan men M; Mwen aji e se kilès ki ka ranvèse l?”

14 Thus sayeth the Lord your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes.

Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Redanmtè nou an, Sila Ki Sen an Israël la; “Pou koz nou, Mwen voye kote Babylone e Mwen va mennen yo tout desann kote nou kon kaptif, menm Kaldeyen yo nan bato anndan sila yo rejwi yo.

15 I am the Lord your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King.

Mwen se SENYÈ a, Sila Ki Sen pa nou an, Kreyatè Israël la, Wa nou an.”

16 Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters.

Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ki fè yon wout sou lanmè a, e yon chemen nan dlo pwisan yo,

17 When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shall not rise: they are extinct, and quenched as towe.

Ki mennen fè parèt cha avèk cheval la, lame ak mesye pwisan a (Yo va kouche ansanm e yo p ap leve ankò; yo te etenn tankou yon fisèl bouji):

18 Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.

Pa kite ansyen bagay yo antre nan tèt nou, ni reflechi sou bagay ki fin pase.

19 Behold, I do a new thing: now shall it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse.

Gade byen, Mwen va fè yon bagay tounèf; koulye a, li va pete vin parèt. Èske nou p ap rekonèt li? Menm yon chemen nan dezè a Mwen va fè, ak rivyè yo nan dezè a.

20 The wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect.

Bèt nan chan yo va bay glwa a Mwen menm, chen mawon nan chan yo ak otrich yo, akoz Mwen te bay dlo nan savann nan e rivyè nan dezè a pou pèp chwazi Mwen an ka bwè.

21 This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.

Pèp ke M te fòme pou Mwen an va deklare lwanj Mwen.

22 And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied me, O Israel.

Men ou pa t rele Mwen, O Jacob; men ou tevin fatige ak Mwen, O Israël.

23 Thou hast not brought me the sheepe of thy burnt offrings, neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I haue not caused thee to serue with an offring, nor wearied thee with incense.

Ou pa t mennen ban Mwen mouton a ofrann brile ou yo, ni ou pa t onore M ak ofrann brile ou yo, ni ou pa t onore M ak sakrifis ou yo. Mwen pa t mete gwo fado sou ou ak ofrann yo, ni fè ou fatige ak lansan.

24 Thou boughtest mee no sweete sauour with money, neither hast thou made mee drunke with the fatte of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made mee to serue with thy sinnes, and wearied mee with thine iniquities.

Ou pa t mennen ban M kann dous ak lajan, ni ou pa t plen M ak grès a sakrifis ou yo. Olye de sa, ou te chaje Mwen ak peche ou yo. Ou te fatige M ak inikite ou yo.

25 I, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.

Mwen menm, Mwen se Sila ki efase transgresyon ou yo, pou koz Mwen; e Mwen p ap sonje peche ou yo.

26 Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.

Mete M nan memwa ou. Annou diskite ka nou ansanm. Prezante ka ou pou ou ka jistifye ak eprèv ou.

27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers haue transgressed against me.

Premye zansèt ou yo te peche, e enstriktè ou yo te trangrese kont Mwen.

28 Therefore I haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.

Pou sa, Mwen va deklare prens a sanktyè yo pa pwòp; Mwen va fè Jacob yon malediksyon, e Israël kon yon repwòch.
