Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of Jehovah is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
Lespri Bondye, Seyè a, desann sou mwen. Paske Seyè a chwazi m', li voye m' pou m' anonse bon nouvèl la bay moun ki nan lapenn yo, pou m' geri tout moun k'ap soufri yo, pou m' fè tout moun yo te depòte yo konnen yo delivre, pou m' fè tout prizonye yo konnen pòt prizon louvri pou yo.
2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
Li voye m' anonse lè a rive pou Seyè a vin delivre pèp li a, jou a rive pou Bondye nou an vin tire revanj pou nou. Li voye m' ankouraje tout moun ki nan lafliksyon,
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
pou m' bay moun mòn Siyon ki nan lafliksyon yo kè kontan nan plas lapenn yo, kontantman nan plas kè sere yo a. M'ap mete nan bouch yo chante remèsiman nan plas chante plenyen. Yo pral grandi tankou gwo pyebwa nan jaden Seyè a te plante ak men l'. Yo tout pral fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye, pou tout moun ka fè lwanj bèl pouvwa li.
4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Yo gen pou yo rebati sou anplasman vye lavil yo. Y'a repare kay moun yo te bandonnen depi lontan. Y'a rebati lavil ki te fin kraze yo, kay ki te fin tounen mazi depi lontan yo.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Se moun lòt nasyon ki va pran swen mouton nou yo. Se moun vini ki va travay jaden nou yo, ki va okipe jaden rezen nou yo.
6 But you shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
Men nou menm, y'a rele nou prèt Seyè a. Wi, y'a rele nou Sèvitè Bondye nou an! N'a jwi richès lòt nasyon yo. Tout bèl bagay lakay yo, se pou nou y'a ye.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
Kote yo te konn fè nou wont, se sou tèt y'a pote nou. Kote yo te konn pase nou nan rizib, y'a fè gwo fèt pou nou. N'a rete nan peyi nou, richès nou va double. N'a toujou gen kè kontan san rete.
8 "For I, Jehovah, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Seyè a di: -Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen renmen sa ki dwat, mwen pa vle wè lè moun ap vòlò, lè moun ap fè lenjistis. M'a kenbe pawòl mwen, m'a bay pèp mwen an rekonpans yo, m'a pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Jehovah has blessed."
Nan tout peyi, y'a nonmen non yo. Pitit pitit yo va gen bon non nan mitan lòt pèp yo. Tout moun ki va wè yo va konnen se yon ras moun mwenmenm menm, Seyè a, mwen beni.
10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Se pa ti kontan kè m' kontan pou sa Seyè a fè. M'ap fè fèt pou Bondye mwen an. Paske mwen tankou yon nèg k'ap marye ki fin abiye pou nòs la, tankou yon lamarye k'ap ranje bijou l' yo sou li. Li kouvri m' ak pouvwa li pou l' sove m'. Li vlope m' nan bra li pou l' delivre m'.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Menm jan tè a fè ti plant yo pouse, menm jan grenn yo leve nan jaden, konsa tou, Seyè ki la pou tout tan an va delivre pèp li a. Tout nasyon va fè lwanj li toupatou.
