Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Rele ak tout fòs ou, rele mezi ou kapab! Fè vwa ou sonnen tankou klewon! Fè pèp mwen an konnen tout mechanste li fè yo! Fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo konnen tout peche yo te fè!
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the ordinances of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
Chak jou, y'ap fè sèvis pou mwen. Yo pretann yo konnen chemen m' yo, tankou si se yon nasyon ki fè sa ki dwat devan m', epi ki pa t' janm lage lòd mwen te ba yo. Y'ap mande m' pou m' defann kòz yo. Yo ta vle pou Bondye kanpe la ak yo.
3 — Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours.
Pèp la ap di: -Sa nou bezwen fè jèn fè si Bondye p'ap wè sa? Sa nou bezwen pran lapenn pou sa nou fè ki mal si ou p'ap gade sou sa? Seyè a reponn yo: -M'ap di nou laverite. Jou n'ap fè jèn lan, se jou sa a tou n'ap chache fè sa ki nan enterè nou ase. Se lè sa a n'ap plede peze moun k'ap travay pou nou yo.
4 Behold, ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye do not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
Konsa tou, jou n'ap fè jèn lan, se lè sa a tou n'ap joure, n'ap fè kont, n'ap goumen, n'ap bay move kou. Jan mwen wè n'ap fè jèn lan jòdi a se pa konsa pou nou fè l' si nou vle lapriyè nou yo rive nan zòrèy mwen.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul, — that he should bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? Wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
Eske mwen ka pran plezi nan kalite jèn sa a? Se sa nou rele yon jou n'ap pran lapenn pou sa nou fè ki mal? Fè jèn pou nou, se bese tèt nou jouk atè tankou wozo van ap pliye, se kouche plat atè sou sak nan mitan sann dife. Atò se sa nou rele fè jèn? Se sa ki pou fè Bondye plezi a?
6 Is not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break every yoke?
Non! Men kalite jèn ki pou fè kè m' kontan an: Sispann fè mechanste. Sispann fè lenjistis. Bay esklav nou yo libète! Mete chay k'ap foule moun yo atè.
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring to thy house the needy wanderers; when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Separe sa nou genyen ak moun ki grangou. Louvri pòt kay nou pou nou resevwa malere ki pa gen kote pou yo dòmi. Si nou wè yon frè nou toutouni, ba li rad pou li mete sou li. Pa refize lonje men bay frè parèy ou.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard.
Lè sa a, tankou solèy k'ap leve, m'ap klere nou, m'a fè nou wè jan mwen renmen nou. Lapoula m'a geri nou, m'a toujou mache ak nou pou m' delivre nou. Pouvwa Bondye a va mache dèyè nou pou pwoteje nou.
9 Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,
Lè sa a, si nou lapriyè nan pye m', m'a reponn nou. Si nou rele m', m'a di men mwen! Si nou rache tout mechanste nan kè nou voye jete, si nou sispann kraponnen moun, si nou sispann pale moun mal,
10 and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;
si nou manje ak moun ki grangou, si nou plen vant moun ki nan nesesite, limyè va klere pou nou nan mitan fènwa. Lannwit va fè klè pou nou tankou gwo midi.
11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.
Se tout tan Seyè a va moutre nou chemen pou nou pran, l'a rafrechi nanm nou nan tan chechrès. L'a ban nou fòs ak kouraj. N'a tankou yon jaden ki byen wouze, tankou yon sous dlo ki pa janm chèch.
12 And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.
N'a rebati vye kay nou yo ki te fin tonbe. N'a moute lòt kay sou ansyen miray fondasyon tan lontan yo. Y'a rele nou moun ki konn repare miray fann yo, moun ki konn balize granchemen yo, moun k'ap refè kay ki kraze yo pou moun ka vin rete nan peyi a ankò.
13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;
Si nou veye kò nou pou nou respekte jou repo a, pou nou pa regle pwòp zafè nou jou ki apa pou mwen an, si se yon plezi pou nou lè jou repo a rive, si nou respekte jou ki apa pou mwen menm, Seyè a, pou jou sa a nou pa nan fè sa ki nan lide nou, nou pa nan vwayaje, nou pa nan fè travay, ni nou pa nan pale vye koze,
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
lè sa a, n'a jwenn plezi nou nan fè sèvis pou mwen. M'a fè tout moun sou latè pote nou anlè, n'a jwi lavi nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, zansèt nou an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
