Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat: yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!
“Gade! Tout sa ki swaf yo, vin nan dlo! Nou menm ki pa gen kòb yo, vin achte pou manje. Vin achte diven ak lèt san lajan, e san frè.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Poukisa nou depanse lajan pou sa ki pa pen, ak kouraj travay nou pou sa ki pa ka satisfè? Koute Mwen avèk atansyon, manje sa ki bon e pran plezi nou an abondans.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.
Prete zòrèy nou e vin kote Mwen. Koute pou nou ka viv. Mwen va fè yon akò avè w k ap dire pou tout tan, selon mizerikòd fidèl ki te montre a David la.
4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.
Gade byen, Mwen te bay li kon yon temwen a pèp la, yon chèf ak kòmandè pou pèp la.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou knowest not, and a nation [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Gade byen, ou va rele yon nasyon ou pa rekonèt; yon nasyon ki pa rekonèt ou va kouri bò kote ou, akoz SENYÈ Bondye ou a, ak Sila Ki Sen an Israël la; paske Li te bay ou glwa.”
6 Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
Chache SENYÈ a pandan Li kapab twouve; rele Li pandan Li toupre a.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Kite mechan an abandone chemen li an, ak pechè a, panse li yo. Kite li retounen kote SENYÈ a e Li va gen mizerikòd sou li; anvè Bondye nou an, ki pa janm manke mizerikòd.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.
“Paske, panse pa Mwen yo se pa panse pa w, ni wout ou yo se pa wout pa M”, deklare SENYÈ a.
9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Paske tankou syèl yo pi wo ke tè a, konsa wout Mwen yo pi wo ke wout pa w yo, e panse Mwen yo ke panse pa w yo.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Paske menm jan ke lapli ak lanèj desann sòti nan syèl la, e pa retounen la, san ke yo pa awoze tè a, pou fè l donnen e boujonnen, pou fè l bay semans pou kiltivatè, ak pen pou sila k ap manje a;
11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall do that which I please, and it shall accomplish that for which I send it.
se konsa pawòl Mwen ki sòti nan bouch Mwen va ye. Li p ap retounen kote Mwen vid, san ke li pa akonpli sa ke M dezire a, san ke li pa akonpli bi pou sila Mwen te voye li a.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Paske ou va sòti ak kè kontan e mennen sòti ak lapè. Mòn yo ak kolin yo va eklate nan gwo kri lajwa devan ou, e tout bwa nan chan yo va bat men yo.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
Olye de bwa pikan, bwa siprè va leve; olye machacha, bwa jasmen va leve. Sa va sèvi kon yon memoryal a SENYÈ a, kon yon sign k ap dire nèt, ki p ap janm disparèt.
