Isaiah 56
1 This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsève sa ki jis e fè sa ki dwat, paske sali Mwen an prèt pou rive e ladwati Mwen va vin revele.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
A la beni nonm ki fè sa a beni, e fis a mesye a ki kenbe sa a fèm; ki pa janm derespekte Saba a, e ki anpeche men l fè mal la.”
3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”
Pa kite etranje a ki te vin jwenn ak SENYÈ a di: “Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè m separe de pèp li a.” Ni pa kite enik lan di: “Gade byen, mwen se yon bwa sèch”.
4 For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “A enik yo ki kenbe Saba Mwen yo, ki chwazi sa ki fè M plezi, e ki kenbe fèm nan akò Mwen an,
5 I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
a yo menm, Mwen va livre depi andann lakay Mwen an; anndan miray Mwen yo, yon memoryal e yon non ki meyè a fis yo oswa fi yo. Mwen va bay yo yon non k ap dire nèt jis pou letènite, ki p ap janm disparèt.”
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
“Anplis, etranje ki vin atache yo menm a SENYÈ a, pou sèvi Li, pou renmen non a SENYÈ a, pou vin sèvitè Li, yo tout ki pa derespekte Saba a, e ki kenbe fèm sou akò Mwen an;
7 I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”
menm sila yo Mwen va mennen sou mòn sen Mwen an, e fè yo plenn lajwa andedan kay priyè Mwen an. Ofrann brile yo ak sakrifis yo va akseptab sou lotèl Mwen an; paske kay Mwen an va rele yon kay lapriyè pou tout pèp yo.”
8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”
Senyè BONDYE a, ki rasanble dispèse a Israël yo, deklare: “Mwen va rasanble lòt yo anvè yo, lòt anplis de sila ki deja rasanble yo.”
9 Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.
Nou tout, bèt a chan yo, vin manje, ak tout bèt a forè yo.
10 Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.
Gadyen Li yo avèg. Tout nan yo san konprann. Se chen bèbè ki pa ka jape; moun k ap kouche fè rèv, ki renmen somèy.
11 Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
Wi, chen yo voras. Yo pa janm jwenn asi. Se bèje yo ye san konprann. Yo tout vire tounen nan pwòp chemen pa yo, yo chak nan ranmase byen de tout katye.
12 “Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
“Vini”, yo di: “Annou twouve diven; annou bwè anpil bwason fò. Epi demen na p fè menm jan ak jodi a! Plis menm!”
