< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
Pou koz Sion, Mwen p ap rete an silans e pou koz Jérusalem, Mwen p ap rete san pawòl, jiskaske ladwati li vin parèt tankou gran limyè e sali li tankou yon tòch k ap brile.
2 The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name.
Nasyon yo va wè ladwati ou e tout wa yo glwa ou. Konsa, ou va rele pa yon non nouvo ke bouch SENYÈ a va bay.
3 You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
Anplis, ou va yon kouwòn byen bèl nan men SENYÈ a, e yon dyadèm wayal nan men Bondye ou a.
4 You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
Sa p ap di a ou menm ankò: “Abandone”, ni a peyi ou, yo p ap di ankò: “Dezole”; men ou va rele: “Plezi Mwen nan li”, epi peyi ou: “Marye”. Paske SENYÈ a pran plezi nan ou e a Li menm, peyi ou va marye.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
Paske menm jan ke yon jennonm marye ak yon vyèj, konsa fis ou yo va marye avèk ou; epi menm jan jennonm maryaj la ap rejwi ak jenn fi maryaj la, konsa Bondye ou a va rejwi ak ou.
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
Sou miray ou yo, O Jérusalem, Mwen te plase gadyen yo. Tout lajounen ak tout lannwit, yo p ap janm rete an silans. Nou menm ki raple SENYÈ a, pa pran repo pou tèt nou;
7 and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
ni pa bay Li repo jiskaske Li etabli e fè Jérusalem yon lwanj sou tout tè a.
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
SENYÈ a te sèmante pa men dwat Li e pa men pwisan Li: “Mwen p ap janm bay sereyal pa ou ankò kon manje pou lènmi ou yo; ni etranje yo p ap janm bwè diven nèf pou sila ou te depanse fòs ou a.”
9 but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
Men sila ki ranmase li, se yo k ap manje li e louwe SENYÈ a. Sila ki rekòlte li yo va bwè li nan lakou sanktiyè pa Mwen an.
10 Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Antre ladann, antre nan pòtay yo! Netwaye chemen an pou pèp la! Bati, bati chemen an! Retire wòch yo, leve yon drapo sou nasyon yo.
11 Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him!’”
Gade byen, SENYÈ a te pwoklame a pwent tè a: “Di a fi Sion an: ‘Men sali ou a rive! Gade byen rekonpans Li avè L e rekonpans Li devan L!’”
12 They will call them “The Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
Konsa, yo va rele yo: “Pèp sen an, rachte a SENYÈ yo”. Ou va rele: “Sila Ki Chache e ki vin twouve a, Yon Vil Ki Pa Abandone.”
