Isaiah 65
1 I allowed myself to be sought by those that asked not; I let myself be found by those that sought me not: I said, Here am I, here am I, unto a nation that called itself not by my name.
“Mwen te chache pa sila ki pa t mande pou Mwen yo; Mwen te twouve pa sila ki pa t chache M. Mwen te di: “Men Mwen isit la! Men Mwen isit la!’ a yon nasyon ki pa t rele non Mwen.
2 I spread out my hands all the time unto a rebellious people, that walk in the way which is not good, after their own thoughts;
Mwen te louvri men M tout lajounen a yon pèp rebèl, ki mache nan chemen ki pa bon, k ap swiv pwòp panse pa yo,
3 [To] the people that provoke me to anger to my face continually; that sacrifice in gardens and burn incense upon [altars of] brick,
Yon pèp ki pwovoke M tout tan nan figi M, k ap ofri sakrifis nan jaden yo e k ap brile lansan sou brik yo;
4 That sit about among the graves, and lodge in the vaults, that eat the flesh of the swine, and [have] broth of abominations [in] their vessels;
ki chita nan mitan tonm yo e ki pase nwit lan kote kache yo; ki manje chè kochon, ak soup fèt ak sa ki pa pwòp.
5 That say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the time.
Ki di: ‘Rete la, ou menm, pa pwoche mwen; mwen pi sen pase ou’! Sila yo se lafimen nan nen Mwen, yon dife ki brile tout lajounen.
6 Behold, it is written before me; I will not keep silence, till I have recompensed, yea, recompensed into their bosom.—
“Gade byen, li ekri devan Mwen: Mwen p ap rete an silans, men Mwen va bay rekonpans; Mwen va rekonpanse jis rive nan lestonmak yo,
7 Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have burnt incense upon the mountains, and upon the hills have blasphemed me: and I will measure out their work at first into their bosom.
ni pou pwòp inikite pa yo ak inikite a zansèt yo ansanm”, pale SENYÈ a. “Akoz yo te brile lansan sou mòn yo e te moke M sou kolin yo; pou sa, Mwen va mezire zèv yo te fè, jis rive nan lestonmak yo.”
8 Thus hath said the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster of grapes, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it; so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I will not destroy the whole;
Konsa pale SENYÈ a; “Menm jan divin tounèf twouve nan yon grap rezen, e yon moun di, ‘pa detwi l, paske gen benefis ladann’: konsa Mwen va aji pou sèvitè ki pou Mwen yo, pou M pa detwi yo tout.
9 And I let come forth out of Jacob a seed, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Mwen va mennen fè sòti zanfan Jacob yo e yon eritye mòn Mwen yo kap soti nan Juda. Menm chwazi pa M yo va eritye l e sèvitè Mwen yo va demere la.
10 And Sharon shall become a fold of flocks, and the valley of 'Achor a resting-place for herds, for my people that have sought me.
Saron va yon peyi ki fè patiraj pou bann mouton yo, e vale Acor yon kote pou twoupo yo ka repoze, pou pèp Mwen ki chache Mwen an.
11 But ye who forsake the Lord, who forget my holy mountain, that set out a table for the god of Fortune, and that fill for Destiny the drink-offering.—
“Men nou menm ki abandone SENYÈ a, ki bliye mòn sen Mwen an, ki ranje yon tab pou Gran Chans, ki plen tas ak diven mele pou Desten an;
12 Yea, I will destine you to the sword, and all of you shall kneel down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear; but ye did what is evil in my eyes, and that wherein I had no delight did ye choose.
Mwen va ranje desten nou ak nepe, e nou tout va bese devan masak la. Akoz Mwen te rele nou, men nou pa t reponn; Mwen te pale, men nou pa t tande. Epi nou te fè mal devan zye M, e te chwazi sa ki pa t fè m plezi.”
13 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be made ashamed;
Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va manje, men nou va rete grangou. Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va bwè, men nou va rete swaf. Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va rejwi, men nou va twouve gwo wont.
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry out from pain of heart, and from a broken spirit shall ye howl;
Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va rele ak jwa ak kè kontan, men nou va kriye fò ak yon kè plen doulè, e nou va rele anmwey ak yon lespri ki kraze nèt.
15 And ye shall leave behind your name for an oath unto my elect ones, when the Lord Eternal will slay thee; but his servants will he call by another name.
Ou va kite non nou kon yon malediksyon a moun chwazi pa Mwen yo, e Senyè BONDYE a va touye nou. Li va rele sèvitè Li yo pa yon lòt non.
16 Whoever there be that blesseth himself on the earth shall bless himself by the true God; and that sweareth on the earth shall swear by the true God; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
Paske sila ki beni sou tè a, va beni pa Bondye verite a; epi sila ki sèmante nan tout tè a, va sèmante pa Bondye verite a; paske ansyen twoub yo fin bliye e paske yo kache devan zye M.”
17 For, behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind;
Paske gade byen, Mwen va kreye yon syèl tounèf, ak yon tè tounèf; epi ansyen bagay yo p ap sonje ankò, ni p ap menm antre nan panse.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice unto all eternity in what I create; for, behold, I will create Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people for gladness.
Men fè kè kontan e rejwi nou jis pou tout tan nan sa ke M kreye yo; paske gade byen, Mwen kreye Jérusalem pou rejwisans, e pèp li a pou kè kontan.
19 And I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and be glad in my people: and there shall not be heard in her any more the voice of weeping, nor the voice of complaint.
Anplis, Mwen va rejwi de Jérusalem. Mwen va fè kè kontan nan pèp Mwen an. Epi p ap tande ankò nan li vwa kriye ak son moun k ap kriye.
20 There shall no more come thence an infant of few days, nor an old man that shall not have the full length of his days; for as a lad shall one die a hundred years old; and as a sinner shall be accursed he who [dieth] at a hundred years old.
“P ap genyen ladann ankò timoun ki viv sèlman kèk jou, ni granmoun ki pa fin fè tout jou li yo; paske jenn yo va mouri nan laj santan e sila ki pa rive nan laj santan yo va konsidere kon moun modi.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
Yo va bati kay yo pou yo viv ladann; anplis, yo va plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi yo.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and the work of their hands shall my elect wear out.
Yo p ap bati kay pou yon lòt moun rete ladann, yo p ap plante pou yon lòt moun vin manje. Paske kon lavi a yon pyebwa, se konsa jou a pèp Mwen an va ye, e moun chwazi pa M yo va gen tan rejwi nan pwòp zèv men yo.
23 They shall not toil in vain, nor bring forth unto an early death; for the seed of the blessed of the Lord are they, and their offspring with them.
Yo p ap travay an ven, ni fè pitit pou mizè; paske yo se desandan a sila ki beni pa SENYÈ a, e anplis, desandan yo, menm jan.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before yet they call will I answer; and while they are still speaking will I hear.
Anplis, li va vin rive ke avan yo rele, Mwen va reponn; epi pandan yo toujou ap pale, Mwen va tande.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall like the bullock eat straw: and the serpent—dust shall be his food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
Lou ak ti mouton va manje ansanm. Lyon an va manje pay kon bèf. Men pousyè va sèvi kon manje pou sèpan an. Yo p ap fè mal ni donmaj nan tout mòn sen Mwen an,” di SENYÈ a.
