Isaiah 56
1 This is what the Lord says: Follow the law, and do what is right, for my salvation will soon arrive, and my goodness will be revealed.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsève sa ki jis e fè sa ki dwat, paske sali Mwen an prèt pou rive e ladwati Mwen va vin revele.
2 Blessed is everyone who does this—those who keep to it, who observe the Sabbath without violating it, and who don't do anything wrong.
A la beni nonm ki fè sa a beni, e fis a mesye a ki kenbe sa a fèm; ki pa janm derespekte Saba a, e ki anpeche men l fè mal la.”
3 Don't allow foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord say, “The Lord will definitely exclude me from his people.” And don't allow eunuchs to say, “Look at me—I'm as worthless as a dried-up tree because I'm childless.”
Pa kite etranje a ki te vin jwenn ak SENYÈ a di: “Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè m separe de pèp li a.” Ni pa kite enik lan di: “Gade byen, mwen se yon bwa sèch”.
4 For this is what the Lord says: To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths, who choose to do what pleases me, and to keep my agreement,
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “A enik yo ki kenbe Saba Mwen yo, ki chwazi sa ki fè M plezi, e ki kenbe fèm nan akò Mwen an,
5 I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a place to remember them and a reputation better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting reputation that will never fade.
a yo menm, Mwen va livre depi andann lakay Mwen an; anndan miray Mwen yo, yon memoryal e yon non ki meyè a fis yo oswa fi yo. Mwen va bay yo yon non k ap dire nèt jis pou letènite, ki p ap janm disparèt.”
6 About the foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord, who worship him, who love the Lord, and who are his servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath without violating it and who keep to my agreement—
“Anplis, etranje ki vin atache yo menm a SENYÈ a, pou sèvi Li, pou renmen non a SENYÈ a, pou vin sèvitè Li, yo tout ki pa derespekte Saba a, e ki kenbe fèm sou akò Mwen an;
7 I will bring these foreigners to my holy mountain and make them happy in my house of prayer. I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices, because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
menm sila yo Mwen va mennen sou mòn sen Mwen an, e fè yo plenn lajwa andedan kay priyè Mwen an. Ofrann brile yo ak sakrifis yo va akseptab sou lotèl Mwen an; paske kay Mwen an va rele yon kay lapriyè pou tout pèp yo.”
8 This is what the Lord God says, who brought back the scattered people of Israel: I will bring back still others to join you.
Senyè BONDYE a, ki rasanble dispèse a Israël yo, deklare: “Mwen va rasanble lòt yo anvè yo, lòt anplis de sila ki deja rasanble yo.”
9 Come, wild animals, wild animals of the countryside and forests, come and eat my people!
Nou tout, bèt a chan yo, vin manje, ak tout bèt a forè yo.
10 For all the watchmen are blind. None of them know what's going on. They're all silent—they can't bark. They spend their time lying down, dreaming, loving to sleep.
Gadyen Li yo avèg. Tout nan yo san konprann. Se chen bèbè ki pa ka jape; moun k ap kouche fè rèv, ki renmen somèy.
11 They're greedy dogs that are never satisfied. They're sheepdogs who don't know their job. All of them go their own way, each of them looking out for themselves.
Wi, chen yo voras. Yo pa janm jwenn asi. Se bèje yo ye san konprann. Yo tout vire tounen nan pwòp chemen pa yo, yo chak nan ranmase byen de tout katye.
12 “Come on,” they say, “I'll get some wine and let's get drunk! We'll do this today, and tomorrow we'll drink so much more!”
“Vini”, yo di: “Annou twouve diven; annou bwè anpil bwason fò. Epi demen na p fè menm jan ak jodi a! Plis menm!”
