Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
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 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking 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 here, all of you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
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 Against whom do all of you sport yourselves? against whom make all of you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are all of you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
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 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the 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 Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
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 lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.
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 Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.
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 you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even unto 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 You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
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 And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
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 your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
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 you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
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 shall say, Cast all of you up, cast all of you up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block 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 says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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 always angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
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 was I angry, and stroke him: I hid me, and was angry, and he went on perversely in the way of his 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 have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
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 create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; and I will heal 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 troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
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, says my God, to the wicked.
Bondye mwen an di: Pa gen kè poze pou mechan yo.
