Isaiah 57
1 The just perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and men of mercy are taken away, because there is none that understandeth; for the just man is taken away from before the face of evil.
Moun k'ap mache dwat yo ap fin mouri nan peyi a, sa pa fè pesonn anyen. Moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ak tout kè yo ap fin disparèt, pesonn pa wè sa. Mechanste fè moun k'ap mache dwat yo disparèt.
2 Let peace come, let him rest in his bed that hath walked in his uprightness.
Moun ki t'ap mache dwat yo ale kote yo jwenn kè poze, yo kouche nan tonm yo.
3 But draw near hither, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer, and of the harlot.
Nou menm ki p'ap fè anyen san konsilte zetwal, pwoche vini! Se yon bann moun ki vire do bay Bondye nou ye. N'ap sèvi zidòl, nou tankou moun k'ap fè adiltè, k'ap viv nan dezòd.
4 Upon whom have you jested? upon whom have you opened your mouth wide, and put out your tongue? are not you wicked children, a false seed,
Ki moun n'ap pase nan betiz la a? Ki moun n'ap pale mal konsa? Sou ki moun n'ap fè grimas konsa? Se yon bann moun ki pa janm kenbe pawòl yo, yon bann moun k'ap bay manti nou ye.
5 Who seek your comfort in idols under every green tree, sacrificing children in the torrents, under the high rocks?
N'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl nan jaden nou. Nou kouche ak fanm anba pye bwadchenn, anba tout raje. Nou bay timoun nou pou yo touye pou zidòl yo nan twou wòch nan bafon yo.
6 In the parts of the torrent is thy portion, this is thy lot: and thou hast poured out libations to them, thou hast offered sacrifice. Shall I not be angry at these things?
Nou pran kèk gwo wòch galèt nan ravin yo sèvi nou Bondye. Se yo ki tout nou. Nou fè ofrann grenn jaden ak ofrann diven pou yo vide sou yo. Nou konprann bagay konsa ka fè m' plezi!
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou hast laid thy bed, and hast gone up thither to offer victims.
Nou moute sou yon gwo mòn byen wo pou n' al kouche ak fanm, pou n' al touye bèt nou ofri bay zidòl yo.
8 And behind the door, and behind the post thou best set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself near me, and hast received an adulterer: thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made a covenant with them: thou hast loved their bed with open hand.
Nou mete wòch zidòl nou yo dèyè pòtay nou, nan papòt lakay nou. Nou vire do ban mwen, nou mete nou toutouni, nou moute sou gwo kabann byen laj nou, nou kouche ak medam, chwal zidòl yo, nou peye pou sa. Nou pran kont plezi nou ak je nou kole sou wòch zidòl yo.
9 And thou hast adorned thyself for the king with ointment, and hast multiplied thy perfumes. Thou hast sent thy messengers far off, and wast debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Nou mete odè sou nou, nou pati al fè sèvis pou Molòk. Nou mete tout kalite odè sou nou. Nou voye mesaje byen lwen al chache zidòl pou nou. Nou voye yo jouk nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy ways: yet thou saidst not: I will rest: thou hast found life of thy hand, therefore thou hast not asked.
Nou fatige kò nou ap vwayaje, men nou pa janm kite! Nou mete nan tèt nou zidòl yo ap ban nou fòs pou nou pa janm bouke.
11 For whom hast thou been solicitous and afraid, that thou hast lied, and hast not been mindful of me, nor thought on me in thy heart? for I am silent, and as one that seeth not, and thou hast forgotten me.
Seyè a di: Kilès bondye sa yo ki t'ap ban nou kè sote, ki t'ap fè nou pè konsa, kifè ou bay tout manti sa yo? Kilès sa a ki fè nou bliye m' konsa? Nou pa chonje reve m'. Eske se paske mwen rete mwen pa di anyen kifè nou sispann gen krentif pou mwen?
12 I will declare thy justice, and thy works shall not profit thee.
M'ap denonse tou sa n'ap plede fè pou sove tèt nou. Nou kwè l'ap bon pou nou, men sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen.
13 When thou shalt cry, let thy companies deliver thee, but the wind shall carry them all off, a breeze shall take them away, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy mount.
Lè n'a rele mande sekou, se pou tout zidòl nou yo vin sove nou si yo kapab! Yon senp ti van ap pote yo ale, yon ti briz van ap pati ak yo. Men, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen va rete nan peyi a, y'a rete sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an.
14 And I will say: Make a way: give free passage, turn out of the path, take away the stumblingblocks out of the way of my people.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di: -Pare wout la pou pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen. Mete ranblè. Wete tout bagay k'ap bare wout la devan pèp mwen an.
15 For thus saith the High and the Eminent that inhabiteth eternity: and his name is Holy, who dwelleth in the high and holy place, and with a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Se mwen menm Bondye ki anwo nèt nan syèl la, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an, Bondye ki apa nèt la. Men sa mwen di: mwen rete yon kote ki anwo nèt, yon kote ki apa pou mwen nèt. Men mwen kanpe la avèk moun ki soumèt yo devan m', avèk moun ki gen lapenn tout bon pou sa yo fè ki mal, pou m' ka remoute kouraj yo, pou m' ba yo konfyans ankò.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be angry unto the end: because the spirit shall go forth from my face, and breathings I will make.
Mwen pa vle nan diskit tout tan ak yo, mwen pa vle rete ankòlè tout tan pou moun mwen bay lavi yo pa pèdi kouraj.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and I struck him: I hid my face from thee, and was angry: and he went away wandering in his own heart.
Wi, mwen te fache anpil sou yo paske yo te gen move lanvi nan kè yo. Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te pini yo, mwen te lage yo, paske yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo t'ap fè sa yo pi pito.
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.
Mwen te wè tou sa yo t'ap fè, men m'ap geri yo. Mwen pral pran men yo pou m' mennen yo sou bon chemen an. M'a remoute kouraj sa ki nan lapenn yo.
19 I created the fruit of the lips, peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
M'a di yo: Kè poze pou nou tout ki lwen, kè poze pou nou tout ki pre. M'a mete lwanj nan bouch yo, m'ap ba yo tout kè poze, m'ap geri yo.
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, which cannot rest, and the waves thereof cast up dirt and mire.
Men, mechan yo tankou lanmè ki boulvèse. Lanm lanmè yo ap bat san rete, y'ap jete kras ak labou sou rivaj la.
21 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord God.
Bondye mwen an di: Pa gen kè poze pou mechan yo.
