Ezayi 63

1 Kilès sa a k'ap vini sot lavil Bozra nan peyi Edon an, ak yon rad tou wouj sou li a? L'ap mache byen bwòdè ak bèl rad li sou li. L'ap mache tèt li byen wo, l'ap pile tè a byen fò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki gen pouvwa pou delivre moun lan, k'ap pale sou koze delivrans lan.

Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."

2 Poukisa rad sou ou yo wouj konsa, tankou rad moun k'ap kraze rezen anba pye yo pou fè diven nan basen?

Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?

3 Seyè a reponn: -Mwen te pou kont mwen ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye m', tankou rezen nan basen. Pa t' gen yon moun nan pèp mwen an ki te la avè m'. Mwen fè kòlè, mwen mache sou yo, m' pilonnen yo anba pye m' sitèlman mwen te fache. San yo benyen tout rad mwen, li tache yo byen tache.

"I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.

4 Mwen te chwazi nan kè m' jou pou m' te tire revanj pou pèp mwen an. Lè pou m' te pini lènmi l' yo te rive.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

5 Lè m' gade, mwen te sezi. Pa t' gen yon moun pou ban m' yon koutmen. Pa t' gen pesonn pou ban m' konkou. Men, mwen te sitèlman an kòlè, mwen jwenn kont fòs nan ponyèt mwen, mwen kenbe jouk mwen fin delivre yo.

I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

6 Mwen fè yon sèl kòlè, mwen kraze yon bann pèp. Mwen dechèpiye yo sitèlman mwen te fache. Mwen fè dlo kò yo benyen kò yo.

I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."

7 M'a chante pou m' fè konnen tout bèl bagay Seyè a fè pou nou. M'a fè lwanj li pou tou sa li fè pou nou, pou jan li bon pou moun fanmi Izrayèl yo. Li moutre nou jan li gen kè sansib pou nou, jan li renmen nou anpil.

I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

8 Seyè a te di se pèp mwen yo ye, m' sèten yo p'ap fè m' wont. Se konsa, li delivre yo

For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.

9 nan tout tèt chaje yo. Se pa t' yon moun ni yon zanj li te voye fè travay la pou li. Se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Li sitèlman renmen yo, kè l' sitèlman fè l' mal pou yo, se limenm menm ki te vin delivre yo. Nan tan lontan, li te toujou pran swen yo.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 Men, yo te fè wòklò avè l', yo te fè l' lapenn anpil. Se konsa Seyè a te tounen yon lènmi pou yo, li fè yo lagè.

But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

11 Men, yo chonje tan lontan, yo vin chonje Moyiz. Yo mande koulye a: Kote Bondye ki te rale yo sot nan lanmè a, Bondye ki te mete Moyiz mache devan yo tankou yon gadò pou bann mouton l' yo? Kote Bondye ki te bay Moyiz pouvwa lespri li a?

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in their midst?

12 Kote Bondye ki te kanpe sou bò dwat Moyiz la pou fè gwo mèvèy ak fòs ponyèt li, lè li te fann dlo a devan yo pou tout moun te ka toujou chonje sa l' te fè a?

who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 Lè Bondye te fè yo mache nan fon lanmè a tankou chwal nan sab dezè, san yo pa janm bite,

who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?

14 tankou bèf k'ap desann nan plenn pou y' al manje, lespri Seyè a te mennen yo kote pou yo poze. Wi, se konsa Seyè a te mache devan pèp li a, pou tout moun te ka toujou nonmen non l' pou jan li gen pouvwa.

As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused them to rest; so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

15 Seyè, antan ou nan syèl la, nan bèl kay ki apa pou ou a, tanpri, voye je ou gade nou non! Jan ou te fè jalouzi pou nou sa a! Jan ou te kanpe pou nou ak kouraj ou sa a! Jan ou te renmen nou sa a! Jan ou te konn gen pitye pou nou sa a! Kote ou kite tou sa? Gen lè ou fèmen kè ou!

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

16 Se ou menm ki papa nou. Abraram pa konnen nou. Izrayèl pa rekonèt nou! Se ou menm, Seyè, ki papa nou. Se ou menm ki toujou delivre nou!

For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.

17 Poukisa atò ou kite nou pèdi chemen ou te mete devan nou an, ou kite nou lage kò nou nan raje? Poukisa ou kite nou fè tèt di, ou kite nou pèdi krentif nou te gen pou ou a? Tanpri, tounen vin jwenn nou non, poutèt moun k'ap sèvi ou yo, poutèt pèp ki toujou moun pa ou la!

O LORD, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.

18 Nou poko chita, lènmi nou yo te gen tan pran peyi a nan men nou, yo derespekte tanp ou a.

Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.

19 Depi kèk tan ou sèvi ak nou tankou si se pa ou ki chèf nou ankò, tankou si nou pa pèp ou a ankò.

We have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
