Ezayi 41-42
Haitian Creole Version
41 ¶ Nou menm moun zile yo, pe bouch nou! Koute sa m'ap di nou! Mete gason sou nou! Pwoche vin defann kòz nou! Annou plede pou n' wè kilès ki gen rezon!
2 Kilès ki te fè chèf la soti bò solèy leve, ki te fè l' genyen nan tout batay kote l' pase? Kilès ki te lage tout nasyon yo nan men l', ki soumèt tout wa yo devan l'? Avèk nepe li, li kraze yo fè yo tounen pousyè. Avèk flèch li yo, li fè yo kouri tankou pay van ap gaye.
3 L'ap fann nan siyay yo, l'ap kouri san li pa pè anyen. Pye l' pa menm touche tè.
4 Se travay ki moun sa? Kilès ki lakòz tout bagay sa yo rive? Ki moun ki depi nan kòmansman ap rele lèzòm, pitit an pitit, pou yo fè travay li sou latè? Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki la anvan yo tout. Se mwen menm k'ap toujou la apre yo tout.
5 Moun zile yo wè sa, yo pè. Moun nan dènye bout latè pran tranble, yo pwoche, yo vini.
6 Yonn ap ede lòt. Yonn ap di lòt: Pran kouraj!
7 Bòs atizan k'ap fè estati a ap ankouraje òfèv la. Moun k'ap fin bay estati a fòm ak ti kout mato l' yo ap ankouraje bòs fòjon an. Yon lòt di: Soudi a bon! Yo kloure zidòl la nan plas li pou li pa tonbe.
8 Men, nou menm pèp Izrayèl, sèvitè m' yo! nou se pitit pitit Jakòb, moun mwen te chwazi a! Nou se moun ras Abraram, zanmi mwen an!
9 Mwen pran nou nan dènye bout latè, mwen rele nou soti byen lwen. Mwen di nou: Se sèvitè m' nou ye! Se chwazi mwen te chwazi nou, mwen pa voye nou jete.
10 ¶ Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen la avèk nou! Nou pa bezwen kite anyen ban nou kè sote. Se mwen menm ki Bondye nou. M'ap ban nou fòs, m'ap ede nou. M'ap soutni nou ak fòs ponyèt mwen ki pa janm pèdi batay.
11 Tout moun ki te fache sou nou yo pral wont, yo pral bese tèt yo. Moun ki t'ap chache nou kont yo pral disparèt, yo pral mouri.
12 Moun ki t'ap fè nou lagè yo, n'a chache yo, nou p'ap wè yo. Moun ki t'ap goumen ak nou yo pral disparèt, yo p'ap la ankò!
13 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou! M'ap pran men nou, m'ap di nou: Nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap ede nou!
14 Nou menm fanmi Jakòb yo, moun Izrayèl yo, nou te mèt piti tankou yon vètè, fèb tankou yon cheni, nou pa bezwen pè. Se mwen menm k'ap ede nou, mwen menm, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki yon Bondye apa. Se mwen menm k'ap delivre nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
15 M'ap fè nou tounen yon machin pou raboure tè, yon machin tou nèf avèk dan byen file. Nou pral raboure mòn yo, nou pral kraze yo. Nou pral fè ti bit mòn yo tounen pousyè.
16 Nou pral vannen yo, van ap bwote yo ale. Van tanpèt ap gaye yo toupatou. Men, nou pral fè fèt pou Seyè a. Nou pral kontan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
17 Lè malere yo ak pòv yo ap chache dlo pou yo bwè epi yo pa ka jwenn, lè gòj yo va chèch nèt sitèlman y'a swaf dlo, mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a ba yo sa yo lapriyè mande m' lan. Mwen menm, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen p'ap lage yo.
18 M'a fè gwo dlo larivyè koule sou tout tè sèk kote ki pa t' gen menm yon ti pyebwa. M'a fè sous dlo pete nan fon yo. M'ap fè dezè a tounen lagon dlo. Sous dlo pral pete nan tout tè sèk yo.
19 M'ap fè pye zakasya ak pye sèd pouse nan tout dezè a, ansanm ak pye jasmen ak pye oliv mawon. Nan tè savann lan, m'ap mete pye pichpen, pye bwadòm ak pye sèd.
20 Lè moun va wè sa, y'a konnen pou yo pran tèt yo, pou yo manyè konprann se Seyè a ki fè bagay sa yo ak men l', se travay Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki apa a.
21 ¶ Seyè a, wa pèp Izrayèl la, di: -Nou menm, bondye lòt nasyon yo, vin plede kòz nou! Vin di sa nou gen pou n' di pou defans nou!
22 Pwoche non! Vin di sa ki gen pou rive! Kisa nou te di k'ap rive ki rive vre? Di nou ki jan sa pral pase pou n' ka pran prekosyon nou! Fè nou konnen sa ki gen pou rive pou n' ka rekonèt sa lè l'a rive vre!
23 Di nou kisa ki gen pou rive pita. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se bondye nou ye vre! Fè kichòy non, li te mèt bon, li te mèt pa bon, pou n' ka wè l', pou nou ka egzaminen l' ansanm!
24 Men, gade! Se pa anyen nou ye! Tou sa n'ap fè yo pa vo anyen menm! Se yon avilisman pou moun ki pran nou pou bondye yo!
25 Se mwen menm ki chwazi yon nonm soti bò solèy leve. Se mwen menm ki fè l' desann soti nan nò vin atake. Li kraze tout chèf yo tankou labou anba pye l', menm jan moun k'ap fè krich kraze tè pou l' travay.
26 Anvan sa te rive, kilès nan nou ki te di sa pou n' te ka konnen? Ki moun ki te di davans sa tapral rive konsa, pou n' te ka di se vre? Non. Pesonn pa t' di anyen sou sa. Pyès moun pa janm tande nou di yon mo sou sa.
27 Se mwen menm premye moun ki bay moun Siyon yo nouvèl men l'ap vini! Se mwen menm ki voye yon moun al pote bon nouvèl la bay lavil Jerizalèm.
28 Lè mwen gade nan tout bondye nou yo, mwen pa wè yonn ki te gen anyen pou l' te di. Pa t' gen yonn ki ta kapab reponn mwen si m' ta mande l' anyen.
29 Tout bondye sa yo pa vo anyen. Yo pa kapab fè anyen menm. Estati zidòl yo, se van. Yo pa vo anyen.
42 ¶ Seyè a di: -Men sèvitè m'ap soutni an! Men moun mwen chwazi a, moun ki fè m' plezi anpil la! Mwen mete lespri m' sou li. Li pral fè tout nasyon yo konnen sa ki rele jistis.
2 Li pa nan rele, li pa nan pale fò. Li pa nan mache fè diskou nan tout lari.
3 Li p'ap kraze sa ki fèb yo. Li p'ap lage sa ki san sekou yo. Men, l'ap rann jistis jan sa dwe fèt.
4 Li p'ap pèdi espwa, li p'ap pèdi kouraj, jouk l'a fin mete jistis toupatou sou latè, jouk moun ki nan zile yo va rete ap tann lòd l'ap bay yo.
5 ¶ Bondye sèl Mèt ki kreye syèl la epi ki louvri l' anwo tèt nou, li menm ki fòme tè a avèk tou sa k'ap viv sou li, li menm ki bay tout moun k'ap mache sou latè souf lavi, li pale, li di konsa:
6 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rele ou. Mwen ba ou pouvwa pou mete jistis kanpe sou latè. Mwen pran men ou. Mwen fòme ou, mwen mete ou pou pase yon kontra ak pèp la, pou m' bay tout nasyon yo limyè.
7 W'a louvri je avèg yo. W'a fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon. W'a libere sa ki nan kacho kote ki fè nwa a.
8 Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, se konsa yo rele m'. Mwen p'ap bay yon lòt bondye pouvwa mwen an. Mwen p'ap kite yo bay zidòl yo lwanj ki pou mwen an.
9 Gade! Tou sa mwen te di k'ap rive rive vre. Mwen pral di nou lòt bagay ki gen pou rive. Mwen pral fè nou konnen sa anvan menm sa rive.
10 Chante yon chante tou nèf pou Seyè a! Se pou tout moun toupatou sou latè fè lwanj li! Depi moun k'ap vwayaje sou lanmè ak tout bèt ki nan lanmè yo, jouk moun ki rete nan zile byen lwen yo.
11 Se pou dezè a ak tout lavil yo chante pou Seyè a! Se pou tout kote moun Keda yo rete a fè lwanj li! Se pou moun ki rete lavil Sela a rele byen fò sou tèt mòn yo tèlman yo kontan!
12 Se pou tout moun ki rete nan zile yo chante pou Seyè a, se pou yo fè lwanj li.
13 ¶ Seyè a soti tankou yon vanyan gason! Li ranmase tout fòs li tankou yon nonm ki pral nan lagè. Li rele byen fò, li bay siyal pou lagè a! Tankou yon vanyan gason, l'ap kraze lènmi l' yo.
14 Bondye di: -Gen lontan depi m' fèmen bouch mwen! Mwen pa di anyen, mwen kenbe pou m' pa pale. Men koulye a, mwen tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche. M'ap rele, m'ap plenn, souf mwen ap koupe, mwen pa kapab ankò.
15 Mwen pral ravaje tout mòn yo, gwo kou piti. Mwen pral fè tout plant yo ak tout pyebwa yo cheche. Mwen pral fè tè nan fon yo tounen sab lanmè pou bwè tout dlo larivyè yo. M'ap cheche lagon dlo yo.
16 M'ap fè avèg yo mache sou yon wout yo pa t' janm konnen anvan. M'ap pran men yo, m'ap mennen yo sou chemen yo pa t' janm konn fè anvan. M'ap fè kote ki fè nwa yo vin fè klè, kote ki gen anpil bit ak twou yo vin plat. Se tout bagay sa yo mwen pral fè rive. Wi, m'ap fè yo rive vre.
17 Tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan zidòl, tout moun k'ap rele estati yo bondye, yo pral bese tèt yo atè, yo pral wont.
18 ¶ Seyè a di: -Nou menm moun soudè yo, koute! Nou menm moun avèg yo, gade byen!
19 Ki moun ki pi avèg, ki moun ki pi soudè pase sèvite m' lan, moun mwen delivre a? Ki moun ki pi soudè, ki moun ki pi avèg pase mesaje m'ap voye a, sèvitè Bondye a?
20 Nou menm moun Izrayèl, nou te wè anpil bagay. Men, sa pa t' di nou anyen! Nou gen zòrèy pou nou tande, men nou pa t' tande anyen
21 Seyè a se yon Bondye ki soti pou sove pèp Izrayèl la. Li ta vle pou tout pèp la respekte lòd li yo, pou yo tout fè lwanj li.
22 Men koulye a, yo fin piye pèp li a, yo pran tou sa yo te genyen. Yo fèmen yo tout nan kacho. Yo mete yo tout nan prizon. Yo vòlò tou sa yo te genyen san pesonn pa delivre yo. Yo piye yo nèt ale san pesonn pa di: Renmèt yo zafè yo!
23 Ki moun nan nou k'ap pare zòrèy li pou l' tande sa m'ap di la a? Ki moun nan nou k'ap fè atansyon pou l' toujou koute depi koulye a?
24 Ki moun ki te lage moun Jakòb yo nan men vòlò yo? Ki moun ki te lage moun Izrayèl yo nan men piyajè yo? Se te Seyè a menm ki te fè sa. Nou te fè peche kont li. Nou pa t' vle viv jan l' te mande nou viv la. Nou pa t' vle swiv lòd li.
25 Se konsa, li fè pèp la santi jan l' te move, li fè yo konnen soufrans lagè. Tankou dife, kòlè Bondye tonbe sou tout peyi a. Men yo yonn pa t' vle rekonèt sa. Kòlè Bondye boule peyi a nèt. Men, yo yonn pa t' pran sa pou anyen!
Isaiah 41-42
New International Version
Isaiah 41-42
New International Version
The Helper of Israel
41 “Be silent(A) before me, you islands!(B)
Let the nations renew their strength!(C)
Let them come forward(D) and speak;
let us meet together(E) at the place of judgment.
2 “Who has stirred(F) up one from the east,(G)
calling him in righteousness(H) to his service[a]?(I)
He hands nations over to him
and subdues kings before him.
He turns them to dust(J) with his sword,
to windblown chaff(K) with his bow.(L)
3 He pursues them and moves on unscathed,(M)
by a path his feet have not traveled before.
4 Who has done this and carried it through,
calling(N) forth the generations from the beginning?(O)
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last(P)—I am he.(Q)”
5 The islands(R) have seen it and fear;
the ends of the earth(S) tremble.
They approach and come forward;
6 they help each other
and say to their companions, “Be strong!(T)”
7 The metalworker(U) encourages the goldsmith,(V)
and the one who smooths with the hammer
spurs on the one who strikes the anvil.
One says of the welding, “It is good.”
The other nails down the idol so it will not topple.(W)
8 “But you, Israel, my servant,(X)
Jacob, whom I have chosen,(Y)
you descendants of Abraham(Z) my friend,(AA)
9 I took you from the ends of the earth,(AB)
from its farthest corners I called(AC) you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;(AD)
I have chosen(AE) you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear,(AF) for I am with you;(AG)
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(AH) you and help(AI) you;
I will uphold you(AJ) with my righteous right hand.(AK)
11 “All who rage(AL) against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;(AM)
those who oppose(AN) you
will be as nothing and perish.(AO)
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.(AP)
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing(AQ) at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand(AR)
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help(AS) you.
14 Do not be afraid,(AT) you worm(AU) Jacob,
little Israel, do not fear,
for I myself will help(AV) you,” declares the Lord,
your Redeemer,(AW) the Holy One(AX) of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,(AY)
new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains(AZ) and crush them,
and reduce the hills to chaff.(BA)
16 You will winnow(BB) them, the wind will pick them up,
and a gale(BC) will blow them away.(BD)
But you will rejoice(BE) in the Lord
and glory(BF) in the Holy One(BG) of Israel.
17 “The poor and needy search for water,(BH)
but there is none;
their tongues are parched with thirst.(BI)
But I the Lord will answer(BJ) them;
I, the God of Israel, will not forsake(BK) them.
18 I will make rivers flow(BL) on barren heights,
and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert(BM) into pools of water,(BN)
and the parched ground into springs.(BO)
19 I will put in the desert(BP)
the cedar and the acacia,(BQ) the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers(BR) in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress(BS) together,(BT)
20 so that people may see and know,(BU)
may consider and understand,(BV)
that the hand(BW) of the Lord has done this,
that the Holy One(BX) of Israel has created(BY) it.
21 “Present your case,(BZ)” says the Lord.
“Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King.(CA)
22 “Tell us, you idols,
what is going to happen.(CB)
Tell us what the former things(CC) were,
so that we may consider them
and know their final outcome.
Or declare to us the things to come,(CD)
23 tell us what the future holds,
so we may know(CE) that you are gods.
Do something, whether good or bad,(CF)
so that we will be dismayed(CG) and filled with fear.
24 But you are less than nothing(CH)
and your works are utterly worthless;(CI)
whoever chooses you is detestable.(CJ)
25 “I have stirred(CK) up one from the north,(CL) and he comes—
one from the rising sun who calls on my name.
He treads(CM) on rulers as if they were mortar,
as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning,(CN) so we could know,
or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’?
No one told of this,
no one foretold(CO) it,
no one heard any words(CP) from you.
27 I was the first to tell(CQ) Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’
I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news.(CR)
28 I look but there is no one(CS)—
no one among the gods to give counsel,(CT)
no one to give answer(CU) when I ask them.
29 See, they are all false!
Their deeds amount to nothing;(CV)
their images(CW) are but wind(CX) and confusion.
The Servant of the Lord
42 “Here is my servant,(CY) whom I uphold,
my chosen one(CZ) in whom I delight;(DA)
I will put my Spirit(DB) on him,
and he will bring justice(DC) to the nations.(DD)
2 He will not shout or cry out,(DE)
or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed(DF) he will not break,(DG)
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.(DH)
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;(DI)
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice(DJ) on earth.
In his teaching(DK) the islands(DL) will put their hope.”(DM)
5 This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,(DN) who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth(DO) with all that springs from it,(DP)
who gives breath(DQ) to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the Lord, have called(DR) you in righteousness;(DS)
I will take hold of your hand.(DT)
I will keep(DU) you and will make you
to be a covenant(DV) for the people
and a light(DW) for the Gentiles,(DX)
7 to open eyes that are blind,(DY)
to free(DZ) captives from prison(EA)
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.(EB)
8 “I am the Lord;(EC) that is my name!(ED)
I will not yield my glory to another(EE)
or my praise to idols.(EF)
9 See, the former things(EG) have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce(EH) them to you.”
Song of Praise to the Lord
10 Sing(EI) to the Lord a new song,(EJ)
his praise(EK) from the ends of the earth,(EL)
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,(EM)
you islands,(EN) and all who live in them.
11 Let the wilderness(EO) and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar(EP) lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela(EQ) sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.(ER)
12 Let them give glory(ES) to the Lord
and proclaim his praise(ET) in the islands.(EU)
13 The Lord will march out like a champion,(EV)
like a warrior(EW) he will stir up his zeal;(EX)
with a shout(EY) he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.(EZ)
14 “For a long time I have kept silent,(FA)
I have been quiet and held myself back.(FB)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.(FC)
15 I will lay waste(FD) the mountains(FE) and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up(FF) the pools.
16 I will lead(FG) the blind(FH) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(FI) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(FJ)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(FK) them.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(FL)
will be turned back in utter shame.(FM)
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 “Hear, you deaf;(FN)
look, you blind, and see!
19 Who is blind(FO) but my servant,(FP)
and deaf like the messenger(FQ) I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant(FR) with me,
blind like the servant of the Lord?
20 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen.”(FS)
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(FT) of his righteousness
to make his law(FU) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(FV) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(FW)
or hidden away in prisons.(FX)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(FY)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention(FZ) in time to come?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?(GA)
Was it not the Lord,(GB)
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow(GC) his ways;
they did not obey his law.(GD)
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,(GE)
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames,(GF) yet they did not understand;(GG)
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.(GH)

1 ¶ Mwen menm, Pòl, ansanm ak Silven ak Timote, m'ap ekri lèt sa a voye bay manm legliz lavil Tesalonik yo, k'ap viv ansanm nan Bondye, Papa a, ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Mwen mande pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
2 ¶ Se tout tan m'ap di Bondye mèsi pou nou tout. Mwen pa janm bliye nou lè m'ap lapriyè.
3 Devan Bondye Papa nou, mwen toujou chonje jan n'ap viv byen paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye, jan n'ap travay di paske nou gen renmen nan kè nou, jan nou rete fèm nan espwa nou gen nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an.
4 Mwen konnen, frè m' yo, Bondye renmen nou, se li menm ki chwazi nou pou n' ka viv pou li.
5 Se pa t' avèk pawòl ase mwen te anonse nou bon nouvèl la. Men tou, se te avèk pouvwa Sentespri a, avèk lasirans fèm sa m' t'ap di a se vre. Nou menm tou, nou konnen jan mwen te mennen tèt mwen nan mitan nou. Mwen te fè l' pou byen nou.
6 ¶ Nou te swiv egzanp mwen ak egzanp Seyè a. Nou te soufri anpil. Malgre sa, nou te resevwa pawòl Bondye a ak kè kontan. Sa se travay Sentespri.
7 Se konsa, nou te tounen yon egzanp pou tout moun nan peyi Masedwan ak nan peyi Lakayi ki gen konfyans nan Bondye.
8 Konsa, nou fè anpil moun rive konnen mesaj Seyè a. Se pa sèlman nan Masedwan ak nan Lakayi, men se toupatou moun ap pale jan nou gen konfyans nan Bondye. Se sa ki fè, nou pa bezwen pale sou sa ankò.
9 Okontrè, yo tout ap rakonte jan nou te resevwa m' lè m' te rive lakay nou, jan nou te kite zidòl yo pou n' tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou nou te ka sèvi Bondye vivan an, Bondye tout bon an.
10 Y'ap di tou jan n'ap tann Jezi, Pitit Bondye a, k'ap vini sot nan syèl la. Se Jezi sa a Bondye te leve vivan soti nan lanmò. Se li menm k'ap delivre nou anba kòlè Bondye k'ap vini an.

1 Thessalonians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, Silas[a](A) and Timothy,(B)
To the church of the Thessalonians(C) in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.(D)
Thanksgiving for the Thessalonians’ Faith
2 We always thank God for all of you(E) and continually mention you in our prayers.(F) 3 We remember before our God and Father(G) your work produced by faith,(H) your labor prompted by love,(I) and your endurance inspired by hope(J) in our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 For we know, brothers and sisters[b] loved by God,(K) that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel(L) came to you not simply with words but also with power,(M) with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know(N) how we lived among you for your sake. 6 You became imitators of us(O) and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering(P) with the joy(Q) given by the Holy Spirit.(R) 7 And so you became a model(S) to all the believers in Macedonia(T) and Achaia.(U) 8 The Lord’s message(V) rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere.(W) Therefore we do not need to say anything about it, 9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned(X) to God from idols(Y) to serve the living and true God,(Z) 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven,(AA) whom he raised from the dead(AB)—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.(AC)
