< Isaiah 65 >

1 "I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me. I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, 'Here I am. Here I am.' to a nation that did not call on my name.
Seyè a te di: -Mwen te tou pare pou m' te reponn lapriyè pèp mwen an, menm lè yo pa t' lapriyè m'. Mwen te toupre yo, menm lè yo pa t' chache m'. Pèp la pa lapriyè nan pye m', atout mwen te toujou pare pou m' di yo: Men mwen! Men mwen!
2 All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts;
Chak jou mwen t'ap lonje men m' bay yon pèp ki t'ap kenbe tèt ak mwen, ki t'ap fè sa ki mal, ki t'ap fè sa yo pito.
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually as they sacrifice in gardens and burn incense on bricks;
Nan figi m' konsa, yo t'ap plede fè bagay pou fè m' fache. Yo ofri bèt pou touye pou zidòl nan jaden yo, yo boule lansan sou lotèl zidòl yo.
4 who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Lannwit, y' al nan simityè ak nan twou wòch pou fè sèvis pou mò ka di yo sa pou yo fè. Yo manje vyann kochon, yo bwè bouyon fèt ak vyann ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.
5 who say, 'Keep your distance, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
Apre sa, yonn di lòt: Pa pwoche m'. Pa manyen m', paske yo mete m' apa pou Bondye! Non, mwen pa ka sipòte sa y'ap fè a. Sa fè m' move, kòlè mwen tankou yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.
6 "Look, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yes, I will recompense into their bosom,
Seyè a te di: Men desizyon mwen fin pran nan kè m': Mwen p'ap bay kò m' kanpo toutotan mwen pa pini yo, toutan mwen pa regle yo
7 your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together," says YHWH, "who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom."
pou peche yo ak pou peche zansèt yo. Yo te boule lansan pou zidòl sou mòn yo, yo t'ap derespekte m' sou ti bit mòn yo. Se poutèt sa m'ap regle ak yo jan yo merite l' la.
8 Thus says YHWH, "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, 'Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it:' so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
Men sa Seyè a te di ankò: -Pesonn pa janm voye yon bon grap rezen jete. Okontrè, li sere l' pou fè diven ak li. Konsa tou, mwen p'ap detwi tout pèp la, m'ap sove moun k'ap sèvi m' yo.
9 And I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah they shall inherit my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Nan tout fanmi Jakòb la, m'ap fè moun branch fanmi Jida yo pran mòn mwen yo pou yo. Se la moun mwen chwazi yo ak moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va rete.
10 Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
Plenn Sawon an pral tounen yon jaden zèb pou mouton m' yo, pou moun k'ap sèvi m' yo. Mwen pral lonje bèf mwen yo, moun ki toujou ap chache fè volonte m' yo, nan fon Akò pou yo ka manje.
11 "But you who forsake YHWH, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
Men pou nou menm ki vire do bay Seyè a, nou menm ki bliye mòn ki apa pou mwen an, epi ki al fè sèvis manje pou Gad, ki al fè ofrann bwason pou Mini,
12 I will destine you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
m'ap fè nou mouri nan lagè. Nou tout nou pral bese do nou pou yo koupe kou nou, paske mwen te rele nou, nou pa t' reponn. Mwen pale nou, nou pa t' koute m'. Nou fè sa ki mal devan je m', nou pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.
13 Therefore thus says YHWH, "Look, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; look, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; look, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be disappointed;
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: -Moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va jwenn kont manje pou yo manje. Men nou menm n'a ret grangou. Sèvitè m' yo va jwenn kont pou yo bwè, nou menm n'ap ret swaf dlo. Sèvitè m' yo va gen kè kontan; men nou menm n'a wont.
14 look, my servants shall sing in gladness of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for anguish of spirit.
Sèvitè m' yo va fè fèt tèlman y'a kontan, men nou menm n'a plenn, n'a gen kè sere, n'a rele, kè nou va kase.
15 You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and YHWH will kill you; but he will call his servants by another name:
Moun mwen chwazi yo va sèvi ak non nou pou joure moun. Mwen menm Seyè a, m'a fè nou mouri. Y'a di: Se pou Seyè a touye ou tankou l' touye moun sa yo! Men, m'a bay sèvitè m' yo yon bon repitasyon.
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
Tout moun nan peyi a ki bezwen benediksyon va jwenn benediksyon nan men Bondye ki toujou kenbe pawòl li a. Tout moun nan peyi a k'ap fè sèman va fè l' nan non Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li a, paske moun yo p'ap chonje tray yo te konn pase nan tan lontan yo, m'ap bliye sa.
17 "For, look, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Mwen pral fè yon lòt syèl ak yon lòt tè. Pesonn p'ap chonje sa ki te pase nan tan lontan. Sa p'ap janm vin nan tèt yo ankò.
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, look, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Sa m' pral fè a ap bay kè kontan, moun ap fè fèt san rete. Mwen pral fè yon lòt lavil Jerizalèm kote tout moun pral fè fèt. Moun li yo pral kontan.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
Mwen menm m'ap fè fèt pou Jerizalèm, m'ap kontan pou pèp mwen an. P'ap gen kriye ankò nan lavil la! P'ap gen rele mande sekou ankò!
20 "There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
Timoun p'ap mouri tou piti ankò! Granmoun ap fè tout tan yo! Pi bonnè pou yo mouri se va sou santan. Moun ki va rive gen santan anvan yo mouri, y'a mouri jenn! Moun ki va mouri anvan yo rive gen santan, se moun ki va gen madichon!
21 They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
Moun va bati kay pou yo rete. Y'a plante jaden rezen pou yo manje rezen.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Yo p'ap bati kay ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou rete ladan yo. Yo p'ap plante jaden ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou manje l'. Pèp mwen an ap viv rive gen menm laj ak pyebwa. Pèp mwen chwazi a va jwi travay yo fè ak men yo kont kò yo.
23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the descendants of the blessed of YHWH, and their offspring with them.
Yo p'ap kraze kò yo travay pou bontan ankò! Travay yo va rapòte yo! Pitit yo p'ap konn sa ki rele malè ankò! M'ap beni yo ansanm ak pitit yo jouk sa kaba.
24 It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Anvan menm yo fin lapriyè, m'ap gen tan reponn yo. Anvan menm yo fèmen bouch yo, m'ap gen tan ba yo sa yo mande a.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain," says YHWH.
Chen mawon ak mouton pral manje ansanm. Lyon pral manje zèb menm jan ak bèf. Sèpan p'ap yon danje ankò pou pesonn. Sou tout mòn ki apa pou mwen an, p'ap gen mechanste, p'ap gen rayisab ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
