59 ¶ Non! Se pa paske Seyè a manke fòs kifè li pa vin delivre nou. Se pa paske li soudè kifè li pa tande lè n'ap lapriyè nan pye l'.

Men se mechanste nou yo ki mete yon bayè ant nou ak Bondye nou an. Se peche nou yo ki fè l' vire figi l' pou l' pa tande nou.

San ap koule sou tout dwèt nou. Nou foure men nou nan tout kalite mechanste. Bonjou nou pa laverite. Depi nou louvri bouch nou se kout lang n'ap bay.

Lè n' al nan tribinal se pou defann move kòz. Lè n'ap plede, nou bay manti. N'ap di yon bann bagay ki pa laverite. Se move lide ase ki nan tèt nou. Se mechanste ase n'ap fè.

Move plan y'ap fè yo tankou pwazon. Si ou pran ladan yo nanpwen rechap. Si ou rive kraze yon move plan y'ap fè, y'ap pare yonn ki pi rèd pou ou.

Menm jan ou pa ka fè rad ak fil zariyen, konsa tou sa y'ap fè a p'ap rapòte yo anyen ki bon. Se mechanste ase yo soti pou yo fè. Se nan san ase yo mete men yo.

Y'ap kouri konsa pou fè sa ki mal, yo cho pou yo touye moun inonsan. Lide yo toujou sou sa ki mal, kote yo pase se dega toupatou. Se malè yo kite dèyè yo.

Yo pa konn jan pou yo viv byen ak moun. Tout sa y'ap fè kwochi. Tout kò yo se plan. Moun k'ap swiv yo toujou nan tèt chaje.

¶ Pèp la di: -Koulye a nou konnen poukisa Bondye ki pou ta defann kòz nou an rete lwen nou konsa, poukisa li pa vin delivre nou. Nou t'ap tann limyè pou klere kote n'ap mete pye nou, men kote nou pase se nan fènwa nou ye.

10 N'ap tatonnen tankou avèg k'ap chache wout, tankou moun je pete. N'ap bite gwo midi tankou si nou t'ap mache solèy kouche. San nou pa malad, nou tankou moun ki deja nan peyi san chapo.

11 N'ap wouke tankou chen, n'ap plenn tankou bourik anba chay. N'ap tann Bondye pou l' pran defans nou. Bichi! N'ap tann li vin delivre nou. Anyen menm!

12 Seyè, se vre wi, nou te fè anpil peche kont ou! Koulye a, se peche nou yo k'ap kale nou. Yo la devan je nou. Nou rekonèt nou te fè yo vre.

13 Nou te vire do bay Seyè a, nou voye l' jete. Nou derefize koute l'. Nou tòde men frè parèy nou, nou revòlte kont Bondye. Se move lide ase nou te gen nan kè nou. Se manti ase nou t'ap kalkile nan tèt nou.

14 Se poutèt sa, nou pa t' bay chans pou yo defann nou. Pesonn pa ka pwoche vin delivre nou. Nan tout lavil la ou pa konn kote ou gad ak pesonn. Pesonn pa mache dwat.

15 Pa gen moun serye ankò! Si ou pa fè tankou tout moun, se ou k'ap anba. Seyè a wè sa. Sa te fè l' mal paske pa t' gen jistis nan peyi a.

16 ¶ Li sezi wè pesonn pa leve kanpe pou defann inonsan yo. Se konsa, li vin delivre pèp la ak pwòp fòs kouraj li. Li ba l' men, li pran defans li.

17 Li mete jistis anwo li tankou yon plak pwotèj pou lestonmak li. Li mete pouvwa pou sove a tankou yon kas nan tèt li. Li mete pouvwa revanj li sou li tankou yon palto, li vlope kò l' ak fòs pou l' pran defans moun li renmen yo.

18 L'ap pini chak moun dapre sa yo fè: li pral move sou moun ki pa vle wè l' yo, li pral tire revanj sou lènmi l' yo, menm sou moun ki rete nan zile byen lwen yo.

19 Depi kote solèy la leve a jouk kote solèy la kouche a, tout moun va pè Seyè a, y'a respekte pouvwa li. L'ap vin tankou lavalas k'ap desann nan fon ravin, tankou gwo van tanpèt.

20 M'ap vin sou mòn Siyon an pou m' delivre tout moun fanmi Jakòb yo ki va vire do bay peche yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

21 Seyè a di ankò: Men kontra mwen pral pase ak yo a: M'ap mete lespri m' sou yo. M'ap ba yo lòd mwen yo pou lòd mwen yo ka nan bouch yo, nan bouch pitit yo ak nan bouch pitit pitit yo, pou tout tan tout tan. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

Sin, Confession and Redemption

59 Surely the arm(A) of the Lord is not too short(B) to save,
    nor his ear too dull to hear.(C)
But your iniquities have separated(D)
    you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
    so that he will not hear.(E)
For your hands are stained with blood,(F)
    your fingers with guilt.(G)
Your lips have spoken falsely,(H)
    and your tongue mutters wicked things.
No one calls for justice;(I)
    no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(J) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(K)
    they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(L)
They hatch the eggs of vipers(M)
    and spin a spider’s web.(N)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
    and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
    they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(O)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
    and acts of violence(P) are in their hands.
Their feet rush into sin;
    they are swift to shed innocent blood.(Q)
They pursue evil schemes;(R)
    acts of violence mark their ways.(S)
The way of peace they do not know;(T)
    there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(U)
    no one who walks along them will know peace.(V)

So justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(W)
    for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(X) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(Y) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.(Z)
11 We all growl like bears;
    we moan mournfully like doves.(AA)
We look for justice, but find none;
    for deliverance, but it is far away.

12 For our offenses(AB) are many in your sight,
    and our sins testify(AC) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
    and we acknowledge our iniquities:(AD)
13 rebellion(AE) and treachery against the Lord,
    turning our backs(AF) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(AG)
    uttering lies(AH) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(AI) is driven back,
    and righteousness(AJ) stands at a distance;
truth(AK) has stumbled in the streets,
    honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(AL) is nowhere to be found,
    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    that there was no justice.(AM)
16 He saw that there was no one,(AN)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(AO)
so his own arm achieved salvation(AP) for him,
    and his own righteousness(AQ) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(AR)
    and the helmet(AS) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(AT) of vengeance(AU)
    and wrapped himself in zeal(AV) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
    so will he repay(AW)
wrath to his enemies
    and retribution to his foes;
    he will repay the islands(AX) their due.
19 From the west,(AY) people will fear the name of the Lord,
    and from the rising of the sun,(AZ) they will revere his glory.(BA)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
    that the breath(BB) of the Lord drives along.[a]

20 “The Redeemer(BC) will come to Zion,(BD)
    to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(BE)
declares the Lord.

21 “As for me, this is my covenant(BF) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,(BG) who is on you, will not depart from you,(BH) and my words that I have put in your mouth(BI) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.
