< Esias 5 >
1 Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.
Mwen pral chante yon chante pou nou, yon chante sou zanmi m' ak jaden rezen l' lan. Zanmi m' lan te gen yon jaden rezen, sou tèt yon ti mòn ki te gen yon bon venn tè.
2 And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.
Li bat tout tè a, li wete tout wòch ladan l'. Li plante pi bon kalite pye rezen ladan l'. Apre sa, li bati yon ti kay tou won nan mitan jaden an pou veye l'. Li fè yon basen pou kraze rezen yo. Li te kwè jaden an tapral ba li bon rezen. Men, se vye rezen si ase li bay.
3 And now, you dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.
Lè sa a, zanmi mwen an di: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun peyi Jida yo, nou pral di m' kilès nan nou de a, jaden rezen an ak mwen menm, ki antò.
4 What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.
Kisa pou m' te fè pou jaden rezen an mwen pa t' fè? Mwen t'ap tann li ban m' bon jan rezen. Poukisa se bann vye rezen si sa yo li donnen?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.
Enben! M'ap fè nou konnen sa mapral fè jaden rezen mwen an. Mwen pral kraze tout lantiray li a pou bèt antre vin manje l', pou yo kraze l' anba pye yo.
6 And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.
M'ap fè l' tounen yon jaden yo piye. Yo p'ap netwaye branch li yo, yo p'ap sekle l' ankò. Zèb pikan ak raje ap fin anvayi l'. Mwen p'ap kite lapli tonbe sou li.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.
Pèp Izrayèl la, se li ki jaden rezen Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Moun peyi Jida yo, se yo ki bon plan li te plante a. Li t'ap tann yo mache dwat: Yo lage kò yo nan fè lenjistis. Li t'ap tann yo fè sa ki dwat devan je l', men, nan tout peyi a, se rèl malere ase ou tande.
8 Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will you dwell alone upon the land?
Madichon pou moun k'ap bati kay sou kay, pou moun k'ap achte tè pou mete sou sa yo genyen deja! Talè konsa, p'ap gen plas pou lòt moun nan peyi a. Yo vle se yo menm ase ki pou rete nan peyi a.
9 For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.
Men sèman mwen tande Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, fè: Tout kay sa yo gen pou yo tounen mazi. Yo te mèt bèl kou yo bèl, yo te mèt gwo kou yo gwo, p'ap gen moun pou rete ladan yo.
10 For where ten yoke of oxen plow [the land] shall yield one, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.
Jaden rezen ki sou dis kawo tè ap bay yon sèl barik diven. Pou chak dis mamit grenn yo plante, y'a rekòlte yon sèl mamit.
11 Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall inflame them.
Madichon pou moun k'ap leve granmaten pou yo ale chache gwòg pou yo bwè, pou moun k'ap rete byen ta lannwit pou bwè diven jouk yo sou!
12 For they drink wine with harp, and lute, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.
Lè y'ap fè fèt, se pou gen gita ak bandjo, tanbou ak fif ak barik plen diven. Men, yo pa chache konprann sa Seyè a ap fè, yo pa wè travay l'ap fè a.
13 Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.
Pèp la pa konn anyen menm. Se poutèt sa y'ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Grannèg yo pral mouri grangou. Pèp la menm ap mouri swaf dlo.
14 Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it]. (Sheol )
Peyi kote mò yo ye a ap tann yo konsa. L'ap louvri pòtay li yo byen gran pou l' resevwa yo. Se la tout grannèg yo pral desann ansanm ak pèp la k'ap fè bri ak kè kontan. (Sheol )
15 And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
Yo pral trennen tout moun nan labou. Yo pral fè yo wont. Tout moun ki t'ap gonfle lestonmak yo pral bese je yo atè.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.
Men, Seyè a pral moutre jan li gen pouvwa lè l'a fè sa li gen pou l' fè a. Li pral fè wè jan li se Bondye tout bon ki apa a lè l'a jije pèp li a.
17 And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.
Toupatou, nan lavil yo, mouton yo ap mache manje zèb tankou nan savann. P'ap gen pak ankò pou angrese bèt. Tout bèt ap lage. Y'ap mache manje toupatou nan lavil la.
18 Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:
Madichon pou nou! Nou sitèlman renmen mechanste n'ap fè a, n'ap trennen l' dèyè nou kote nou pase. Peche nou yo te mèt gwo, n'ap rale yo dèyè nou tankou bèt k'ap rale kabwèt!
19 who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].
Y'ap plede di: Se pou Bondye fè vit! Se pou li prese fè sa l'ap fè a pou nou ka wè l'. Se pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa prese fè travay li vle fè a, pou nou ka wè sa li gen nan tèt li.
20 Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.
Madichon pou moun ki vle fè byen pase pou mal, mal pase pou byen, pou moun k'ap di fènwa se limyè, limyè se fènwa, pou moun k'ap di bagay anmè dous, bagay dous anmè!
21 Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.
Madichon pou moun ki konprann yo gen konesans, pou moun ki mete nan tèt yo yo gen lespri!
22 Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:
Madichon pou nou! Lè se boutèy diven pou nou desann, nou pa manke kouraj! Lè se gwòg pike pou nou konpoze, nou pa manke vanyan gason!
23 who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.
Men, nou lage moun ki koupab yo pou lajan. Nou pa kite moun k'ap mache dwat yo jwenn jistis.
24 Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Se sa ki fè y'ap disparèt nou sou tè a tankou pay ak zèb chèch ki boule nan dife. Rasin yo ap pouri anba tè. Van ap pran flè yo, l'ap bwote yo ale tankou pousyè, paske yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te ba yo. Yo te meprize kòmandman Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te bay.
25 Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.
Se sa ki fè tou, Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp li a. Li te leve men l' sou yo, li frape yo. Lè sa a, mòn yo tranble. Kadav moun mouri yo ap trennen nan mitan lari tankou fatra. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin ak yo.
26 Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.
Seyè a leve drapo l' pou l' bay siyal la. L'ap rele yon pèp ki byen lwen. L'ap soufle byen fò, l'ap rele moun soti jouk lòt bò nèt, nan dènye bout latè. Gade! Y'ap vole konsa, y'ap kouri vini!
27 They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets be broken.
Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki bouke! Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki fè bitay! Yo pa konn sa ki rele kabicha, ale wè dòmi! Ren yo toujou mare. Sapat yo toujou mare byen sere nan pye yo.
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.
Pwent flèch yo taye byen fen. Banza yo tou pare pou tire. Pye chwal yo di kou wòch. Kabwèt yo woule vit tankou van siklòn.
29 They rage as lions, and draw near as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.
Sòlda yo gwonde tankou fenmèl lyon. Yo rele tankou yon bann ti lyon. Yo gwonde, yo tonbe sou bèt yo pran an, yo pote l' ale. Pa gen moun ki pou rache l' soti nan bouch yo!
30 And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.
Jou sa a, y'ap gwonde sou pèp Izrayèl la. Y'ap fè bri tankou lanmè lè li move. Voye je, gade peyi a! Se renk fènwa ak tray pou tout moun. Nwaj nwa bouche toupatou nan syèl la!
