Esias 59
1 Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear?
Gade byen, men SENYÈ a pa tèlman kout pou l pa ka sove; ni zòrèy Li pa di pou l pa ka tande.
2 Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].
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 hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with sins; your lips also have spoken iniquity, and your tongue meditates unrighteousness.
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 None speaks justly, neither is there true judgment: they trust in vanities, and speak empty [words]; for they conceive trouble, and bring forth iniquity.
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 have hatched asps' eggs, and weave a spider's web: and he that is going to eat of their eggs, having crushed an addled egg, has found also in it a basilisk.
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 web shall not become a garment, nor shall they at all clothe themselves with their works; for their works are works of iniquity.
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 And their feet run to wickedness, swift to shed blood; their thoughts also are thoughts of murder; destruction and misery are in their ways;
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 and the way of peace they know not, neither is there judgment in their ways; for their paths by which they go are crooked, and they know not 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 has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them: while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.
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 They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes: and they shall feel at noon-day as at midnight; they shall groan as dying 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 They shall proceed together as a bear and as a dove: we have waited for judgment, and there is no salvation, it is gone far from us.
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 iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.
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 We have sinned, and dealt falsely, and revolted from our God: we have spoken unrighteous words, and have been disobedient; we have conceived and uttered from our heart unrighteous words.
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 And we have turned judgment back, and righteousness has departed afar off: for truth is consumed in their ways, and they could not pass by a straight [path].
Lajistis vin detounen e ladwati vin kanpe byen lwen. Paske verite a fin glise tonbe nan lari e ladwati p ap ka antre.
15 And truth has been taken away, and they have turned aside [their] mind from understanding. And the Lord saw it, and it pleased him not that there was no judgment.
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 he looked, and there was no man, and he observed, and there was none to help: so he defended them with his arm, and established [them] with [his] mercy.
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 And he put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and placed the helmet of salvation on his head; and he clothed himself with the garment of vengeance, and with his cloak,
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 one about to render a recompence, [even] reproach to his adversaries.
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 of the west fear the name of the Lord, and they [that come] from the rising of the sun his glorious name: for the wrath of the Lord shall come as a mighty river, it shall come with fury.
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 deliverer shall come for Sion's sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
“Yon Redanmtè va vini nan Sion, e a sila ki vire kite transgresyon Jacob yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
21 And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon you, and the words which I have put in your mouth, shall never fail from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever.
“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.”
