Isaiah 55
1 All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any 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 Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted 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 to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful 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 people, for a leader and a master to the Gentiles.
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, which thou knewest not: and the nations that knew not thee shall run to thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for 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 the Lord, while he may be found: call 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 unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.
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: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
“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 exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above 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 And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and 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, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent 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 you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall sing praise before yen, and all the trees of the country 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 shrub, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle tree: and the Lord shall be named for an everlasting sign, that shall not be taken away.
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.
