Isaiah 55
1 Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.
Vini non, nou tout ki swaf dlo. Men dlo! Vini non, nou tout ki pa gen lajan, nou mèt vini. Achte manje pou nou manje. Nou pa bezwen lajan! Achte diven ak lèt pou nou bwè. Nou pa bezwen peye!
2 Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.
Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan achte manje ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou? Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan travay nou pou bagay ki pa ka plen vant nou? Si nou koute byen sa m'ap di nou la a, n'a manje sa ki bon. N'a pran plezi nou nan manje bon kalite manje.
3 Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.
Louvri zòrèy nou. Vin jwenn mwen. Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, n'a jwenn lavi. M'ap siyen yon kontra ak nou pou tout tan. M'a ban nou benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo.
4 Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.
Gade. Mwen te fè l' chèf pou l' te kòmande nasyon yo. Mwen te fè l' sèvi m' temwen nan mitan yo.
5 Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.
Gade, ou pral rele nasyon ou pa t' konnen. Nasyon ki pa t' konnen ou pral kouri vin jwenn ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, Bondye apa pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap fè sa rive konsa, paske m'ap leve ou anlè.
6 Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.
Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, pandan nou ka jwenn li an. Lapriyè nan pye l' pandan li toupre nou an.
7 Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.
Se pou mechan yo kite move chemen y'ap swiv la. Se pou malveyan yo wete move lide k'ap travay nan tèt yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ki va gen pitye pou yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou an, paske l'ap padonnen tou sa yo fè.
8 For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
Lide pa m' pa menm ak lide pa nou. Chemen pa nou pa menm ak chemen pa m'. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
9 For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
Menm jan syèl la byen lwen anwo latè, se konsa lide pa m' byen lwen anwo lide pa nou, chemen pa m' byen lwen chemen pa nou.
10 Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,
Gade! Lapli ak lawouze soti nan syèl la, yo pa tounen kote yo soti a san yo pa wouze latè, san yo pa fè l' donnen, san yo pa fè plant yo pouse pou bay kiltivatè yo grenn pou yo simen ak manje pou yo manje.
11 So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Konsa tou pou pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen: li p'ap tounen vin jwenn mwen san li pa fè sa m' te vle l' fè a, san li pa fè tou sa mwen te voye l' fè a.
12 Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.
N'a kite lavil Babilòn ak kè kontan. Y'a mennen nou tounen lakay nou ak kè poze. Gwo mòn yo ak ti mòn yo va pran chante pou nou sitèlman y'a kontan. Tout pyebwa nan plenn yo va bat bravo pou nou!
13 For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
Pye pichpen va pouse kote ki te plen pikan. Pye ilan-ilan va pouse kote ki te plen chadwon. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a, yon remak k'ap la pou tout tan, yon siy pesonn p'ap ka detwi.
