Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
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 He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in its midst, and also cut out a winepress in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
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 "Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please 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 could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?
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 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up. I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled 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 I will lay it a wasteland. It won't be pruned nor hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on 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 Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, look, oppression; for righteousness, but, look, a cry of distress.
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 those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of 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 In my ears, the LORD of hosts says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
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 ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah."
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 those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames 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 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation 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 go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
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 Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
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 h7585)
15 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
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 is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified 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 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and kids will eat the ruins of the rich.
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 those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;
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 make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and 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 those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 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 those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent 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 those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing 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 acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent.
Men, nou lage moun ki koupab yo pou lajan. Nou pa kite moun k'ap mache dwat yo jwenn jistis.
24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised 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's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
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 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far, and he will whistle for them from the far regions of the earth. Look, they will come speedily and swiftly.
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 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the latchet of their shoes 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 all their bows bent. Their horses' hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
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 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
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 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land look, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.
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!
