Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary.
Bèl ak Nebo, zidòl moun Babilòn yo, fini. Y'ap mete estati yo sou do bèt. Zidòl nou te konn ap leve anlè nan posesyon yo tounen yon chay lou sou do bèt yo ki tou bouke.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
Ni bèt yo, ni zidòl yo tonbe ansanm atè a. Zidòl yo pa ka delivre ata bèt k'ap pote yo a. Lènmi ap depòte yo tankou moun yo fè prizonye.
3 "Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;
Nou menm fanmi Jakòb yo, ti rès ki rete nan fanmi Izrayèl la, nou menm mwen te pote nan men depi jou nou te fèt la, nou menm mwen te soutni depi nan vant manman nou an, koute sa m'ap di nou byen:
4 and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
M'ap toujou aji konsa ak nou jouk n'a vye granmoun. M'ap toujou soutni nou jouk n'a gen cheve blan. M'a pote nou nan men m' jan m' te toujou fè l' la. M'a pran nou sou kont mwen, m'a delivre nou.
5 "To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Ak ki moun nou ta konpare m'? Ki moun nou ka di ki sanble m'? Ki moun nou ka mete bò kote m' ki tankou m'?
6 Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down—yes, they worship.
Gen moun ki pran lò nan pòch yo, yo peze ajan nan balans, yo peye yon òfèv pou fè yon bondye pou yo. Lèfini, yo mete ajenou devan l', yo adore l'.
7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Yo leve l' mete sou zepòl yo, yo pote l' ale. Yo mete l' kanpe yon kote, epi li rete la. Kote yo mete l' la, li pa ka deplase. Yo mèt lapriyè nan pye l' kont kò yo, li pa ka reponn! Li pa ka delivre yo lè yo nan tray.
8 "Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you transgressors.
Pa janm bliye sa! Mete gason sou nou! Nou menm k'ap fè peche, kalkile tou sa nou fè!
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me;
Chonje tou sa ki te rive nan tan lontan. Rekonèt se mwen menm sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt! Se mwen sèl ki Bondye. Nanpwen tankou m'!
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
Depi nan konmansman, mwen te di jan sa pral ye. Depi davans mwen te fè nou konnen sa ki tapral rive. Mwen te di plan travay mwen gen pou rive fèt vre. M'ap fè tou sa mwen te vle fè a.
11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
Mwen rele yon nonm mwen te chwazi soti nan yon peyi byen lwen bò solèy leve. Tankou yon malfini, li pral vini, li pral fè travay mwen ba l' fè a. Depi mwen di yon bagay, se pou l' fèt. Depi mwen fè lide fè yon bagay, fòk li fèt.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who are far from righteousness:
Koute sa m'ap di nou, bann tèt di, nou menm ki pa soti pou fè sa ki dwat:
13 I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
M'ap fè jou delivrans nou an pwoche. Li pa lwen rive. Mwen p'ap mize vin delivre nou. Mwen pral delivre mòn Siyon. Mwen pral fè pèp Izrayèl la wè pouvwa mwen.
