Isaiah 58
1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Rele ak tout fòs ou, rele mezi ou kapab! Fè vwa ou sonnen tankou klewon! Fè pèp mwen an konnen tout mechanste li fè yo! Fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo konnen tout peche yo te fè!
2 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
Chak jou, y'ap fè sèvis pou mwen. Yo pretann yo konnen chemen m' yo, tankou si se yon nasyon ki fè sa ki dwat devan m', epi ki pa t' janm lage lòd mwen te ba yo. Y'ap mande m' pou m' defann kòz yo. Yo ta vle pou Bondye kanpe la ak yo.
3 Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
Pèp la ap di: -Sa nou bezwen fè jèn fè si Bondye p'ap wè sa? Sa nou bezwen pran lapenn pou sa nou fè ki mal si ou p'ap gade sou sa? Seyè a reponn yo: -M'ap di nou laverite. Jou n'ap fè jèn lan, se jou sa a tou n'ap chache fè sa ki nan enterè nou ase. Se lè sa a n'ap plede peze moun k'ap travay pou nou yo.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
Konsa tou, jou n'ap fè jèn lan, se lè sa a tou n'ap joure, n'ap fè kont, n'ap goumen, n'ap bay move kou. Jan mwen wè n'ap fè jèn lan jòdi a se pa konsa pou nou fè l' si nou vle lapriyè nou yo rive nan zòrèy mwen.
5 Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
Eske mwen ka pran plezi nan kalite jèn sa a? Se sa nou rele yon jou n'ap pran lapenn pou sa nou fè ki mal? Fè jèn pou nou, se bese tèt nou jouk atè tankou wozo van ap pliye, se kouche plat atè sou sak nan mitan sann dife. Atò se sa nou rele fè jèn? Se sa ki pou fè Bondye plezi a?
6 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
Non! Men kalite jèn ki pou fè kè m' kontan an: Sispann fè mechanste. Sispann fè lenjistis. Bay esklav nou yo libète! Mete chay k'ap foule moun yo atè.
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Separe sa nou genyen ak moun ki grangou. Louvri pòt kay nou pou nou resevwa malere ki pa gen kote pou yo dòmi. Si nou wè yon frè nou toutouni, ba li rad pou li mete sou li. Pa refize lonje men bay frè parèy ou.
8 Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
Lè sa a, tankou solèy k'ap leve, m'ap klere nou, m'a fè nou wè jan mwen renmen nou. Lapoula m'a geri nou, m'a toujou mache ak nou pou m' delivre nou. Pouvwa Bondye a va mache dèyè nou pou pwoteje nou.
9 Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
Lè sa a, si nou lapriyè nan pye m', m'a reponn nou. Si nou rele m', m'a di men mwen! Si nou rache tout mechanste nan kè nou voye jete, si nou sispann kraponnen moun, si nou sispann pale moun mal,
10 And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
si nou manje ak moun ki grangou, si nou plen vant moun ki nan nesesite, limyè va klere pou nou nan mitan fènwa. Lannwit va fè klè pou nou tankou gwo midi.
11 And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
Se tout tan Seyè a va moutre nou chemen pou nou pran, l'a rafrechi nanm nou nan tan chechrès. L'a ban nou fòs ak kouraj. N'a tankou yon jaden ki byen wouze, tankou yon sous dlo ki pa janm chèch.
12 And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
N'a rebati vye kay nou yo ki te fin tonbe. N'a moute lòt kay sou ansyen miray fondasyon tan lontan yo. Y'a rele nou moun ki konn repare miray fann yo, moun ki konn balize granchemen yo, moun k'ap refè kay ki kraze yo pou moun ka vin rete nan peyi a ankò.
13 If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
Si nou veye kò nou pou nou respekte jou repo a, pou nou pa regle pwòp zafè nou jou ki apa pou mwen an, si se yon plezi pou nou lè jou repo a rive, si nou respekte jou ki apa pou mwen menm, Seyè a, pou jou sa a nou pa nan fè sa ki nan lide nou, nou pa nan vwayaje, nou pa nan fè travay, ni nou pa nan pale vye koze,
14 Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
lè sa a, n'a jwenn plezi nou nan fè sèvis pou mwen. M'a fè tout moun sou latè pote nou anlè, n'a jwi lavi nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, zansèt nou an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
