Isaiah 40
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength. They will soar on wings
like eagles; they will run and not
grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint.
30 Jenn gason konn pèdi souf, yo konn bouke.
Lè konsa, yo bite, yo tonbe.
31 Men, Seyè a ap bay moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li fòs ankò. Tankou malfini, y'ap pran zèl pou yo leve
ale. Y'ap kouri san yo p'ap janm bouke. Y'ap mache, yo p'ap
janm febli.
