Esias 64

1 If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,

Si ou te ka chire syèl la desann! Mòn yo ta annik wè ou, yo ta pran tranble.

2 as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,

Yo ta moute desann tankou dlo k'ap bouyi sou gwo dife bwa. Desann non pou fè lènmi ou yo konnen ki moun ou ye, pou fè tout nasyon yo tranble devan ou!

3 whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.

Yon lè, ou te desann, ou te fè yon bann bagay nou pa t'ap tann, bagay ki fè moun pè: mòn yo te wè sa, yo te pran tranble.

4 From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which you will perform to them that wait for mercy.

Pesonn pa janm wè ni yo pa janm tande yon Bondye tankou ou ki ka fè tou sa pou moun ki met espwa yo nan li.

5 For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,

Men, ou louvri bra ou pou ou resevwa moun ki te kontan mache dwat devan ou yo, moun ki te mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo epi ki pa janm bliye ou yo. Men, ou te move dèske nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal. Sa lakòz n'ap soufri jouk jou w'a vin delivre nou.

6 and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].

Nou tout nou te tankou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Tou sa nou t'ap fè ki byen te tankou rad sou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Akòz peche nou yo, nou te tankou fèy chèch van ap bwote.

7 And there is none that calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you: for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.

Pesonn pa lapriyè ou ankò! Pesonn pa chonje reve vin mande ou sekou. Ou vire do ban nou. Ou lage nou, ou kite peche nou yo fini ak nou.

8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of your hands.

Men, Seyè, se ou ki papa nou! Se tè krich nou ye. Se ou menm k'ap ban nou fòm. Se ou menm ki te fè nou ak men ou.

9 Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all your people.

Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache tout fache sa a ak nou ankò! Pa kenbe nou nan kè ou poutèt peche nou yo! Se pèp pa ou la menm nou te ye! Tanpri, pitye pou nou!

10 The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

Lavil yo mete apa pou ou yo rete san moun ladan yo. Mòn Siyon an tankou yon dezè. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon savann.

11 The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

Tanp nou an, bèl kay yo te mete apa pou ou a, kay kote tout zansèt nou yo t'ap fè lwanj ou a, dife fin boule sa. Tout bèl kote nou te renmen yo fin kraze.

12 And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and have brought us very low.

Seyè, tou sa pa di ou anyen? Ou p'ap fè anyen pou nou? Ou pral kite nou soufri jouk nou p'ap kapab ankò?
