< Isaiah 66 >

1 Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Syèl la, se fòtèy kote mwen chita a. Tè a, se ti ban pou m' lonje pye m'. Ki kalite kay nou ta ka bati pou mwen? Ki kote nou ta ka ban mwen pou m' poze kò m'?
2 My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
Se mwen menm ki fè tout bagay sa yo ak men mwen. Se pou mwen yo tout ye! Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Moun ki fè m' plezi se moun ki pa gen lògèy nan kè yo, se moun ki règrèt sa yo fè ki mal, se moun ki gen krentif pou mwen lè m' pale.
3 He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
Pèp la fè sa yo pito. Yo touye bèf pou mwen jòdi, denmen yo touye moun pou zidòl yo. Yo ofri ti mouton pou yo touye pou mwen jòdi, denmen yo kase kou chen pou zidòl. Yo fè ofrann grenn jaden yo jòdi pou mwen, denmen yo fè ofrann san kochon pou zidòl. Yo boule lansan sou lotèl mwen an pou m' pa janm bliye moun ki fè ofrann lan jòdi, denmen y'ap fè sèvis pou di Satan mèsi. Yo pran plezi nan fè zafè pa yo jan yo vle. Yo kontan fè vye bagay lèd y'ap fè yo.
4 Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
Mwen menm tou m'ap pran plezi m' aji ak yo menm jan yo aji a. M'ap fè malè yo pè rive yo a tonbe sou yo, paske mwen rele yo, pesonn pa reponn. Mwen pale yo, yo pa koute m'. Y'ap fè sa ki mal devan je m', yo pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
Koute sa Seyè a di, nou menm ki gen krentif pou li lè li pale ak nou: Paske nou pa vire do ban mwen, gen moun menm ras ak nou ki pa vle wè nou, ki derefize mele ak nou. Y'ap di konsa: Se pou Seyè a fè wè pouvwa li, paske yo ta renmen wè jan nou kontan. Men se yo menm k'ap soti wont.
6 A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
Koute! Gwo bri nou tande k'ap fèt nan lavil la, gwo vwa nou tande k'ap pale nan tanp lan, se bri Seyè a k'ap tire revanj li sou lènmi l' yo.
7 Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
Lavil Bondye a tankou yon fanm ki akouche anvan menm li gen tranche. Li gen tan fè yon ti gason anvan menm li santi doulè.
8 Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
Ki moun ki janm tande koze konsa? Ki moun ki janm wè bagay konsa? Eske yon sèl jou kont pou fè tout yon nasyon? Eske lapoula yo ka fè tout yon nasyon? Mòn Siyon an p'ap soufri anpil anvan nasyon an fèt.
9 Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
Eske mwen ka fè yon fanm kase lèzo, lèfini pou m' pa kite l' akouche? Eske mwen ka fè pitit la rive sou jou l' lèfini pou m' pa kite l' fèt? Se Bondye ou la menm ki di sa!
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
Fè kè nou kontan ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm. Fè fèt pou li, nou tout ki renmen l'! Se pou nou kontan ansanm avè l' koulye a, nou menm ki te nan lapenn pou li!
11 That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
Tankou yon ti bebe k'ap tete manman l' jouk vant li plen, tankou yon ti bebe k'ap kontan souse lèt manman l', nou pral jwenn pa nou nan bèl bagay m'ap fè pou lavil Jerizalèm.
12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.
Paske, men sa Seyè a di: -Mwen pral ba li kè poze san rete. Richès nasyon yo pral kouvri l' tankou lè inondasyon dlo kouvri latè. Nou pral tankou ti bebe pou li: l'ap ban nou tete, l'a pote nou nan bra li, l'a mete nou sou jenou l' pou li jwe ak nou.
13 As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Menm jan yon manman konsole pitit li, se konsa m'ap konsole nou nan lavil Jerizalèm.
14 You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
Lè n'a wè sa, kè nou va kontan: sa va ban nou fòs ak kouraj ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap pwoteje sèvitè m' yo, men lènmi m' yo va konnen jan m' konn fache.
15 For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Seyè a ap vin nan yon gwo dife. Li moute sou nwaj yon gwo tanpèt pou l' vin pini moun ki te fè l' fache yo, pou l' regle yo jan li te di l'ap regle yo a nan yon gwo boukan dife.
16 For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
Se avèk dife Seyè a pral jije, avèk nepe l' li pral regle tout moun ki koupab yo. Anpil moun pral mouri anba men l'.
17 They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
Seyè a di ankò: -Talè konsa sa pral fini pou moun k'ap fè sèvis pou mete kò yo nan bon kondisyon anvan y'a l' fè pwosesyon pou zidòl nan jaden yo, pou moun k'ap manje vyann kochon, vyann sourit ak lòt kalite manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
18 But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
Mwen konnen sa y'ap fè, mwen konnen sa ki nan lide yo. Mwen menm, m'ap vin sanble pèp tout nasyon yo, pèp ki pale tout kalite lang sou latè. Y'a vini, y'a wè bèl pouvwa mwen.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
M'a fè yo konnen se mwen menm k'ap pini yo. Men, m'ap sove kèk moun ladan yo, pou m' voye yo nan tout nasyon, nan tout peyi byen lwen ki poko janm tande non m' nan zòrèy yo, ki pa janm wè pouvwa mwen, nan peyi Lespay, nan peyi Libi, nan peyi Lidi, kote ki gen moun ki konn sèvi ak banza ak anpil ladrès, nan peyi Toubal ak nan peyi Lagrès. Yo pral fè moun tout nasyon yo konnen jan mwen gen pouvwa.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
Y'a pran tout frè parèy nou yo, y'a mennen yo tounen soti nan peyi sa yo, tankou yon ofrann pou mwen. Y'ap mennen yo tounen sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an, lavil Jerizalèm, sou chwal, sou milèt, sou chamo, nan kabwèt kouvri, nan cha, menm jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo konn pote grenn jaden pou ofri nan tanp lan nan veso yo mete nan bon kondisyon espre pou sa.
21 And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
M'a pran kèk moun nan moun sa yo pou fè travay prèt ak travay moun Levi yo. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
22 For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
Menm jan lòt syèl ak lòt latè m'ap fè yo ap la pou lontan devan m', konsa tou pitit nou ak non nou ap la pou lontan. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
23 And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
Pou chak fèt lalin nouvèl, pou chak jou repo, moun tout peyi va vin fè sèvis pou mwen isit lavil Jerizalèm. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
24 And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
Lè y'ap kite lavil la, y'a wè kadav moun ki te vire do ban mwen yo. Vè k'ap manje yo p'ap janm mouri, dife k'ap boule yo a p'ap janm tenyen. Tout moun sou latè pral gen kè plen lè y'a wè sa!
