Isaiah 54

1 Rejoice, O barren that diddest not beare: breake forth into ioy and reioyce, thou that diddest not trauaile with childe: for the desolate hath moe children then the married wife, sayeth the Lord.

“Chante, O esteril la! Ou menm ki pa t kapab fè pitit! Eklate nan yon gwo kri lajwa, e kriye fò, ou menm ki pa t gen doulè ansent lan! Paske fis fanm abandone an va depase fis a fanm ki marye yo”, SENYÈ a di.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, stretch out thy cords and make fast thy stakes.

“Agrandi anplasman tant ou; lonje rido lakay ou, pa ralanti! Fè kòd yo pi long e fòtifye pikèt yo.

3 For thou shalt increase on the right hande and on the left, and thy seede shall possesse the Gentiles, and dwell in the desolate cities.

Paske ou va gaye toupatou, ni adwat, ni agoch. Konsa, desandan ou yo va posede nasyon yo. Yo va rete ankò nan vil abandone yo.”

4 Feare not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not bee put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproch of thy widdowhoode any more.

“Pa pè, paske ou p ap vin wont. Pa santi ou imilye, paske ou p ap desi. Ou p ap sonje wont jenès ou ak repwòch tankou vèv. Sa va bliye nèt.

5 For hee that made thee, is thine husband (whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the Holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.

Paske mari ou se Kreyatè ou a; yo rele L SENYÈ dèzame yo. Redanmtè ou se Sila Ki Sen An Israël la. Yo rele Li Bondye a tout latè a.

6 For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirite, and as a yong wife when thou wast refused, sayth thy God.

Paske SENYÈ a te rele ou kon yon madanm abandone e atriste nan lespri, menm kon yon madanm nan jenès li lè l abandone,” di Bondye ou.

7 For a litle while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.

“Pou yon ti tan kout, Mwen te kite ou; men ak gran konpasyon, Mwen va ranmase ou.

8 For a moment, in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a litle season, but with euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, sayth the Lord thy redeemer.

Nan anpil kòlè, Mwen te kache figi M pou yon moman, men ak lanmou dous ki p ap janm fini an, Mwen va gen konpasyon pou ou”, di SENYÈ a, Redanmtè ou a.

9 For this is vnto me as the waters of Noah: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angrie with thee, nor rebuke thee.

“Paske pou Mwen, sa se tankou jou Noé yo. Menm jan Mwen te sèmante ke dlo a Noé yo pa ta janm inonde latè ankò, konsa Mwen te sèmante ke Mwen p ap fache avèk ou, ni ke Mwen p ap repwoche nou.

10 For the mountaines shall remoue and the hilles shall fall downe: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.

Paske mòn yo kapab deplase, e kolin yo ka disparèt, men lanmou dous Mwen anvè ou menm p ap retire de ou. Ni akò lapè Mwen p ap soti menm,” di SENYÈ ki gen konpasyon pou ou a.

11 O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort, beholde, I wil lay thy stones with the carbuncle, and lay thy foundation with saphirs,

O sila ki aflije a, balote pa tanpèt la e san konsolasyon an; gade byen, Mwen va monte bijou ou ak bon kòl ki fèt pou bijou bèl koulè yo, epi fondasyon ou yo va poze ak pyè safì.

12 And I will make thy windowes of emeraudes, and thy gates shining stones, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

Anplis, Mwen va fè ranpa ou ak bijou ribi, pòtay nou yo ak pyè kristal, e tout miray ou yo ak pyè presye.

13 And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and much peace shalbe to thy children.

Tout fis ou yo va enstwi pa SENYÈ a; pitit ou yo va gen lapè ak bonè nèt.

14 In righteousnes shalt thou be established, and be farre from oppression: for thou shalt not feare it: and from feare, for it shall not come neere thee.

Nan ladwati, ou va etabli; ou va rete lwen opresyon, paske ou p ap gen lakrent. Ou p ap gen gwo laperèz, paske li p ap pwoche ou.

15 Beholde, the enemie shall gather himselfe, but without me: whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee, against thee, shall fall.

Si nenpòt moun atake ou, se pa kote M sa va sòti. Nenpòt moun ki atake ou va tonbe akoz ou menm.

16 Beholde, I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire, and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke, and I haue created the destroyer to destroy.

“Gade byen, se Mwen menm ki te kreye bòs fòjewon ki pou soufle dife chabon an, e fè sòti yon zam pou travay li. Mwen te kreye destriktè a pou l ka detwi.

17 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement, thou shalt condemne. This is the heritage of the Lords seruants, and their righteousnesse is of me, sayth the Lord.

Nanpwen zam ki fòme kont ou k ap reyisi; epi tout lang ki akize ou nan jijman, ou va kondane yo. Sa se eritaj a sèvitè a SENYÈ yo. Jistis pa yo sòti de Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.
