Isaiah 57
1 The righteous has perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil The righteous one is gathered.
Moun dwat la peri, men pèsòn pa pran sa a kè. Sila ak mizerikòd vin retire, men pèsòn pa konsidere ke moun dwat la retire pou anpeche mal la rive l.
2 He enters into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
Li antre nan lapè. Chak antre nan pwòp kabann pa l; tout sila ki te mache dwat nan chemen li yo.
3 “And you, come near here, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even you commit whoredom.
“Men vini isit la, nou menm fis a yon manbo, desandan a yon fanm adiltè ak yon pwostitiye.
4 Against whom do you sport yourselves? Against whom do you enlarge the mouth [And] prolong the tongue? Are you not children of transgression? A false seed?
Se kont kilès nou fè plezi a? Kont kilès nou ouvri bouch nou laj e lonje lang nou an? Se pa desandan a rebèl nou ye, ak pòtè a desepsyon?
5 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
Kap limen tèt nou pami bwadchenn yo, anba tout gwo bwa vèt, ki fè masak timoun yo nan ravin yo, anba fenèt wòch gwo falèz yo?
6 Your portion [is] among the smooth things of a brook, They [are] your lot, You have also poured out an oblation to them, You have caused a present to ascend, Am I comforted in these things?
Pami wòch swa nan ravin nan se pòsyon pa w; pou yo menm ou te voye osò a. Menm pou yo menm, ou te vide yon ofrann bwason. Ou te fè yon ofrann sereyal. Èske M ta dwe ralanti konsènan bagay sa yo?
7 On a mountain, high and exalted, You have set your bed, You have also gone up there to make a sacrifice.
Sou yon gwo mòn byen wo, ou te fè kabann ou. Anplis, se la, ou te monte pou ofri sakrifis.
8 And behind the door, and the post, You have set up your memorial, For you have removed from Me, and go up, You have enlarged your bed, And cut [a covenant] with them, You have loved their bed, the station you saw,
Dèyè pòt la ak chanbrann pòt la, ou te fè monte souvni ou; ou te ouvri ou menm a yon lòt sòf ke mwen. Konsa, ou te monte. Ou te ale fè kabann ou byen laj. Konsa ou te antann ou avèk yo. Ou te byen renmen sa ou te we sou kabann yo.
9 And go joyfully to the king in ointment, And multiply your perfumes, And send your ambassadors far off, And humble yourself to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ou te ale kote wa a ak lwil, e ou te ogmante pafen ou yo; ou te voye mesaje ou yo rete lwen, e te degrade ou menm jis rive nan Sejou mò yo. (Sheol h7585)
10 You have labored in the greatness of your way, You have not said, It is desperate. You have found the life of your hand, Therefore you have not been sick.
Ou te fatige akoz wout ou te long, men ou pa t di: ‘Nanpwen espwa.’ Ou te jwenn fòs renouvle. Ou pa t febli menm.
11 And of whom have you been afraid, and fear, That you lie, and have not remembered Me? You have not laid [it] to your heart, Am I not silent, even from of old? And you do not fear Me?
De kilès ou te pè e twouble a, ki fè w manti pou w pa sonje Mwen an, ni menm panse a Mwen an? Èske Mwen pa t rete an silans pou anpil tan ki fè ou pa gen lakrent Mwen an?
12 I declare your righteousness, and your works, And they do not profit you.
Mwen va deklare ladwati ou ak zèv ou yo, men yo p ap nan avantaj ou.
13 When you cry, let your gatherings deliver you, And wind carries all of them away, Vanity takes away, And whoever is trusting in Me inherits the land, And possesses My holy mountain.”
Lè ou vin kriye fò, kite zidòl ou yo delivre ou. Men van an va pote yo ale. Yon souf va rale yo monte. Men sila ki kache nan Mwen an va eritye peyi a. Li va posede mòn sen Mwen an.”
14 And He has said, “Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.”
Li va di: “Fè l monte, fè l monte, prepare chemen an! Retire obstak la ki nan wout pèp Mwen an.”
15 For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and His Name [is] holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,
Paske se konsa Sila ki wo e egzalte, Sila ki viv jis pou tout tan an, non a Li se Sila ki Sen an, pale: “Mwen rete nan kote ki wo e ki sen, anplis ak li menm ki gen kè ki pi e ki enb, pou fè leve lespri a enb yo, e fè leve kè a sila a ki plen regrè pou peche.
16 For I do not strive for all time, nor am I angry forever, For the spirit is feeble before Me, And the souls I have made.
Mwen p ap goumen ak ou pou tout tan, ni se pa pou tout tan ke M ap fache a; paske lespri a ta vin fèb devan M, ak nanm a sila ke M te fè yo.
17 For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been angry, and I strike him, Hiding—and am angry, And he goes on turning back in the way of his heart.
Akoz inikite gwo lanvi li, Mwen te fè kòlè, e Mwen te frape li. Mwen te kache figi Mwen; Mwen te fache. Konsa li te kontinye regrese nan wout kè l te pran an.
18 I have seen his ways, and I heal him, indeed, I lead him, And repay comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
Mwen te wè chemen li yo; malgre sa, M ap geri li; Mwen va mennen li e restore konsolasyon a li menm ak sila k ap lamante pou li.
19 Producing the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace, to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him,” said YHWH.
Mwen kreye fwi a lèv yo: “Lapè, lapè, pou sila ki lwen yo, ak pou sila ki pre yo,” SENYÈ a di: “Epi Mwen va geri yo.”
20 And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For it is not able to rest, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
Men mechan yo tankou lanmè k ap boulvèse. Li p ap ka kalme, e dlo yo rale fè monte fatra ak labou.
21 “There is no peace,” said my God, “for the wicked!”
“Nanpwen lapè” Bondye Mwen an di: “pou mechan yo”.
