< Esias 45 >

1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
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 you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
-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 you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am 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 mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have 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 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have 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 that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
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 am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does 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 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
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 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
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 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing 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 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command 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 have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
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 be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord 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 says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
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 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, 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 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
Moun k'ap fè estati yo pral wont, yo tout pral tèt bese. Moun pral pase yo nan betiz.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
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 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
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, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
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; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not 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 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but 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 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
Tounen vin jwenn mwen pou nou ka delivre, nou tout ki rete sou latè! Paske se mwen ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt!
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
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 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
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 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
Men, gremesi Seyè a, moun ras Izrayèl yo pral kanpe ankò. Yo pral fè lwanj mwen.
