Isaiah 64

Si ou te ka chire syèl la desann! Mòn yo ta annik wè ou, yo ta pran tranble.

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

Yo ta moute desann tankou dlo k'ap bouyi sou gwo dife bwa. Desann non pou fè lènmi ou yo konnen ki moun ou ye, pou fè tout nasyon yo tranble devan ou!

As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

Yon lè, ou te desann, ou te fè yon bann bagay nou pa t'ap tann, bagay ki fè moun pè: mòn yo te wè sa, yo te pran tranble.

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

Pesonn pa janm wè ni yo pa janm tande yon Bondye tankou ou ki ka fè tou sa pou moun ki met espwa yo nan li.

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Men, ou louvri bra ou pou ou resevwa moun ki te kontan mache dwat devan ou yo, moun ki te mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo epi ki pa janm bliye ou yo. Men, ou te move dèske nou pa t' sispann fè sa ki mal. Sa lakòz n'ap soufri jouk jou w'a vin delivre nou.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

Nou tout nou te tankou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Tou sa nou t'ap fè ki byen te tankou rad sou moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou. Akòz peche nou yo, nou te tankou fèy chèch van ap bwote.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Pesonn pa lapriyè ou ankò! Pesonn pa chonje reve vin mande ou sekou. Ou vire do ban nou. Ou lage nou, ou kite peche nou yo fini ak nou.

And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

Men, Seyè, se ou ki papa nou! Se tè krich nou ye. Se ou menm k'ap ban nou fòm. Se ou menm ki te fè nou ak men ou.

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Tanpri, Seyè, pa fache tout fache sa a ak nou ankò! Pa kenbe nou nan kè ou poutèt peche nou yo! Se pèp pa ou la menm nou te ye! Tanpri, pitye pou nou!

Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Lavil yo mete apa pou ou yo rete san moun ladan yo. Mòn Siyon an tankou yon dezè. Lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon savann.

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Tanp nou an, bèl kay yo te mete apa pou ou a, kay kote tout zansèt nou yo t'ap fè lwanj ou a, dife fin boule sa. Tout bèl kote nou te renmen yo fin kraze.

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

Seyè, tou sa pa di ou anyen? Ou p'ap fè anyen pou nou? Ou pral kite nou soufri jouk nou p'ap kapab ankò?

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
