Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith Jehovah: The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that ye will build unto me? and what is the place of my rest?
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Syèl la se twòn Mwen e tè a se machpye M. Alò, ki kote ou ta kab bati yon kay pou Mwen? Epi ki kote pou M ta ka repoze?
2 Even all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.
Paske se men M ki te fè tout bagay sa yo; se konsa tout bagay sa yo te vin egziste,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Men, anvè sila Mwen va gade; sila ki enb ak kè ki repanti a, e ki tranble devan pawòl Mwen yo.
3 He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,
Men sila ki touye yon bèf la, li tankou sila ki touye yon moun nan; sila ki fè sakrifis a yon jenn mouton an, li tankou yon moun ki kase kou a yon chen; sila ki fè ofrann sereyal la, li tankou sila ki ofri san kochon an; sila ki brile lansan an, li tankou sila ki fè beni yon zidòl la. Konsi yo te chwazi pwòp chemen pa yo, e nanm yo pran gwo plezi nan abominasyon yo.
4 I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.
Konsa, Mwen va deziye pinisyon yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo sa ke yo plis pè a. Paske Mwen te rele, men pèsòn pa t reponn; Mwen te pale, men yo pa t koute, men se mal yo te fè devan zye M, e yo te chwazi sa ki pa t fè M plezi.”
5 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed.
Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm ki tranble devan pawòl Li yo: “Frè nou ki rayi nou yo, ki rejte nou akoz non Mwen, Yo te di: ‘Kite SENYÈ a resevwa glwa, pou nou ka wè nou fè kè kontan.’ Men sila yo k ap wont.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies!
Yon vwa gwo boulvèsman soti nan vil la, yon vwa soti nan tanp lan; vwa a SENYÈ la k ap rann rekonpans a lènmi Li yo.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.
“Avan fi a gen doulè, li te anfante; avan gwo doulè a te rive li, li te fè yon gason.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
Se kilès ki te tande yon koze konsa a? Kilès ki te wè yon bagay konsa? Èske yon peyi kapab fèt nan yon sèl jou? Èske yon nasyon ka vin parèt nan yon enstan? La menm Sion te vin gen doulè, li te fè fis li yo vin parèt.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
Èske Mwen va rive pre pwen akouchman an, pou mwen pa livre pitit la?” pale SENYÈ a. “Oswa èske Mwen ki fè fanm akouche a, ta fèmen vant lan?” pale Bondye nou an.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:
“Fè kè kontan ak Jérusalem, e rejwi de li, nou tout ki renmen li yo. Fè kè kontan anpil, nou tout ki te fè kè tris pou li yo,
11 because ye shall suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; because ye shall drink out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
pou nou kapab souse e jwenn satisfaksyon nan tete li, pou nou kapab souse pou jwenn plezi nan gwo lestonmak li a.”
12 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and ye shall suck, ye shall be carried upon the side, and be dandled upon the knees.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen lonje bay fi a lapè tankou yon rivyè e glwa a nasyon yo kon yon flèv k ap debòde. Nou va vin pran tete, nou va pote sou kwis e vin jwe sou jenou.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Tankou yon timoun ki jwenn rekonfò a manman l, se konsa Mwen va rekonfòte nou; epi nan Jérusalem, nou va rekonfòte.”
14 And ye shall see [this], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation toward his enemies.
Nou va wè sa; kè nou va kontan e zo nou va fleri tankou zèb vèt tounèf. Men SENYÈ a va rekonèt pa sèvitè Li yo; men Li va fè gwo kòlè kont lènmi Li yo.
15 For behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a va vini avèk dife, e cha Li yo va tankou van toubiyon. Li va rann kòlè Li ak gwo raj e repwòch Li ak flanm dife.
16 For by fire and by his sword will Jehovah enter into judgment with all flesh: and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
Paske SENYÈ a va egzekite jijman ak dife e avèk nepe Li sou tout chè; e sila ki va touye pa nepe yo va anpil.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.
“Sila ki sanktifye e pirifye tèt pou ale nan jaden yo, k ap swiv moun mitan an, ki manje chè kochon, bagay abominab, ak sourit la, va sispann nèt”, deklare SENYÈ a.
18 And I, — their works and their thoughts [are before me]. ...[The time] cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
“Paske Mwen konnen zèv yo ak panse yo. Lè a ap rive pou rasanble tout nasyon ak tout lang yo. Konsa, yo va vini wè glwa Mwen.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Mwen va mete yon sign pami yo e Mwen va voye bay nasyon yo sila ki chape pami yo: Tarsis, Pul, Lud, Tubal ak Javan, nan peyi kot byen lwen ki pa t janm tande afè laglwa Mwen, ni ki pa t konn wè laglwa Mwen. Epi yo va deklare glwa Mwen pami nasyon yo.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
Yo va mennen tout frè nou yo soti nan tout nasyon yo kon yon ofrann sereyal a SENYÈ a. Yo va vini sou cheval, nan cha, sou kabwèt kouvri, sou milèt ak chamo pou rive sou mòn sen Mwen an, Jérusalem”, di SENYÈ a. “Jis konsa, fis Israël yo pote ofrann sereyal nan yon veso pwòp a lakay SENYÈ a.
21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith Jehovah.
Anplis, Mwen va pran kèk nan yo kon prèt ak Levit”, SENYÈ a di.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
“Paske menm jan ke syèl tounèf la ak tè tounèf ke Mwen va fè a va dire nèt devan Mwen”, deklare SENYÈ a; “se konsa desandan nou yo ak non nou va dire nèt.
23 And it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.
Epi li va fèt ke soti nan lalin tounèf pou rive nan lalin tounèf la, e soti nan Saba a pou rive nan Saba a, tout limanite va vin pwostène devan Mwen,” SENYÈ a di.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.
“Yo va ale gade sou kadav a moun ki te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo. Paske vè pa yo p ap mouri e dife pa yo p ap etenn. Konsa yo va vin yon abominasyon pou tout limanite.”
