< Ezayi 45 >

1 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:
Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 -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.
I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;
3 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.
and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel.
4 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.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 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.
I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me;
6 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!
that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.
7 Mwen mete limyè, mwen mete fènwa! Mwen bay kè poze, mwen bay kè sote. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki fè tou sa.
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.
8 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.
Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Jehovah, have created it.
9 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.
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 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!
Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou?
11 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?
Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.
12 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.
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I commanded.
13 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!
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts.
14 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'.
Thus saith Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, [saying], Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Tansèlman se yon Bondye moun pa ka wè. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se li ki konn delivre moun!
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 Moun k'ap fè estati yo pral wont, yo tout pral tèt bese. Moun pral pase yo nan betiz.
They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 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.
[But] Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.
18 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.
For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah; and there is none else.
19 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.
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 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!
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 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.
Declare ye, and bring [it] forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me.
22 Tounen vin jwenn mwen pou nou ka delivre, nou tout ki rete sou latè! Paske se mwen ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt!
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
23 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.
By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 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'.
Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all they that were incensed against him shall be put to shame.
25 Men, gremesi Seyè a, moun ras Izrayèl yo pral kanpe ankò. Yo pral fè lwanj mwen.
In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
