Isaiah 59
1 Beholde, the Lordes hande is not shortened, that it can not saue: neither is his eare heauie, that it cannot heare.
Gade byen, men SENYÈ a pa tèlman kout pou l pa ka sove; ni zòrèy Li pa di pou l pa ka tande.
2 But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hidde his face from you, that he will not heare.
Men se inikite nou yo ki fè nou separe ak Bondye nou an, e se peche nou yo ki te kache figi Li de nou menm, pou Li pa tande.
3 For your handes are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquitie: your lips haue spoken lies and your tongue hath murmured iniquitie.
Paske men nou souye ak san vèse, e dwèt nou ak inikite. Lèv nou fin pale sa ki fo, e lang nou plenyen mechanste.
4 No man calleth for iustice: no man contendeth for trueth: they trust in vanitie, and speake vaine things: they conceiue mischiefe, and bring foorth iniquitie.
Nanpwen moun ki fè pwosè ak dwati, ni ki fè plent ak entegrite. Yo mete konfyans nan vanite, e yo pale manti. Yo simen mal e yo rekòlte mechanste.
5 They hatch cockatrice egges, and weaue the spiders webbe: he that eateth of their egges, dieth, and that which is trode vpon, breaketh out into a serpent.
Yo kale ze koulèv yo, e trese fil arenye yo. Sila ki manje ze yo va mouri; e nan sa ki kraze a, yon koulèv va pete vin parèt.
6 Their webbes shall be no garment, neither shall they couer themselues with their labours: for their workes are workes of iniquitie, and the worke of crueltie is in their handes.
Fil pa yo p ap fè rad; ni zèv yo p ap ka kouvri yo. Zèv pa yo se zèv inikite, e se zak vyolans ki rete nan men yo.
7 Their feete runne to euill, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are wicked thoughts: desolation and destruction is in their paths.
Pye pa yo kouri vè mal, e yo fè vit pou vèse san inosan an. Panse pa yo se panse inikite, e destriksyon ak dega sou chemen yo.
8 The way of peace they knowe not, and there is none equitie in their goings: they haue made them crooked paths: whosoeuer goeth therein, shall not knowe peace.
Yo pa konnen chemen lapè, e nanpwen jistis nan yo. Yo te fè wout kwochi; nenpòt moun ki antre kote yo pa konnen lapè.
9 Therefore is iudgement farre from vs, neither doeth iustice come neere vnto vs: we waite for light, but loe, it is darkenesse: for brightnesse, but we walke in darkenesse.
Akoz sa, lajistis rete lwen nou, e ladwati pa fin rive sou nou. Nou espere jwenn limyè pou klere nou, men nou mache nan fènwa.
10 Wee grope for the wall like the blinde, and we grope as one without eyes: we stumble at the noone day as in the twilight: we are in solitarie places, as dead men.
Nou tatonnen akote mi an tankou moun avèg. Nou tatonnen kon sila ki pa gen zye yo. Nou kilbite a midi konsi se nan aswè. Pami sila ki plen kouraj yo, nou parèt tankou moun mouri.
11 We roare all like beares, and mourne like dooues: wee looke for equitie, but there is none: for health, but it is farre from vs.
Epi nou tout gwonde tankou lous, e plenyen ak tristès kon toutrèl. Nou espere lajistis, men nanpwen; pou delivrans, men li lwen nou.
12 For our trespasses are many before thee, and our sinnes testifie against vs: for our trespasses are with vs, and we knowe our iniquities
Paske transgresyon nou yo miltipliye devan Ou, e peche nou yo temwaye kont nou. Paske transgresyon nou yo rete avèk nou e nou konnen inikite nou yo:
13 In trespassing and lying against the Lord, and wee haue departed away from our God, and haue spoken of crueltie and rebellion, conceiuing and vttering out of the heart false matters.
Nou fè rebèl e nou nye SENYÈ a. Nou vire kite Bondye nou an, ak pawòl opresyon ak rebèl. Nan kè a, nou fòmante e fè vin parèt pawòl manti.
14 Therefore iudgement is turned backewarde, and iustice standeth farre off: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie cannot enter.
Lajistis vin detounen e ladwati vin kanpe byen lwen. Paske verite a fin glise tonbe nan lari e ladwati p ap ka antre.
15 Yea, trueth faileth, and hee that refraineth from euill, maketh himselfe a praye: and when the Lord sawe it, it displeased him, that there was no iudgement.
Wi, verite a manke; epi sila ki vire akote pou li pa fè mal la, fin fè pwòp tèt li yon viktim. Alò, SENYÈ a te wè e sa pa t fè plezi devan zye L, ke pa t gen jistis.
16 And when he sawe that there was no man, hee wondered that none woulde offer him selfe. Therefore his arme did saue it, and his righteousnes it selfe did sustaine it.
Li te wè ke pa t gen pèsòn, e te etone ke pa t gen moun ki pou entèsede. Akoz sa a, pwòp bra Li te mennen sali a rive kote Li, e ladwati Li te bay Li soutyen.
17 For he put on righteousnes, as an habergeon, and an helmet of saluation vpon his head, and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeale as a cloke.
Li te abiye ak ladwati kon pwotèj lestomak, e ak kas sali a sou tèt Li. Li te mete vètman vanjans kon abiman, e te vlope tèt Li ak zèl, kon manto Li.
18 As to make recompence, as to requite the furie of the aduersaries with a recompence to his enemies: he will fully repaire the ylands.
Selon zèv pa yo, konsa Li va rekonpanse yo: jijman ak kòlè a advèsè Li yo, rekonpans a lènmi Li yo; a peyi kot yo, Li va bay sa yo merite.
19 So shall they feare the Name of the Lord from the West, and his glory from the rising of the sunne: for the enemie shall come like a flood: but the Spirit of the Lord shall chase him away.
Akoz sa, yo va gen krent non SENYÈ a soti nan lwès e glwa Li soti kote solèy leve a; paske Li va vini tankou dlo ravin k ap desann byen rapid. Se van SENYÈ a kap pouse l.
20 And the Redeemer shall come vnto Zion, and vnto them that turne from iniquitie in Iaakob, saith the Lord.
“Yon Redanmtè va vini nan Sion, e a sila ki vire kite transgresyon Jacob yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
21 And I will make this my couenant with them, saith the Lord. My Spirit that is vpon thee, and my wordes, which I haue put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seede, nor out of the mouth of the seede of thy seede, saith the Lord, from hencefoorth euen for euer.
“Pou Mwen menm, sa se akò mwen avèk yo,” di SENYÈ a: “Lespri Mwen ki sou ou a, e pawòl Mwen ke M te mete nan bouch ou yo p ap janm disparèt nan bouch ou, ni bouch a desandan ou yo, ni bouch a desandan pa yo,” pale SENYÈ a, “depi koulye a e jis rive pou tout tan.”
