< Isaiah 1 >

1 [the] vision of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz which he saw on Judah and Jerusalem in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah.
Men vizyon sou peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm Bondye te fè Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, wè sou rèy wa Ozyas, wa Jotam, wa Akaz ak wa Ezekyas nan peyi Jida a.
2 Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for Yahweh he has spoken children I have brought up and I have raised and they they have rebelled against me.
Seyè a di konsa: -Ou menm syèl la, koute! Ou menm latè, pare zòrèy ou! Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral pale! Pitit mwen te okipe yo, pitit mwen te elve yo, men yo vire do ban mwen.
3 It knows an ox owner its and a donkey [the] feeding trough of owner its Israel not it knows people my not it considers carefully.
Bèf ki bèf konnen mèt li. Bourik ki bourik konnen kote mèt li ba l' manje. Men, pèp Izrayèl la menm pa konn bagay konsa. Pèp mwen an pa konprann anyen.
4 Woe to! - a nation [which] sins a people heavy of iniquity of spring [who] do evil children [who] behave corruptly they have forsaken Yahweh they have spurned [the] holy [one] of Israel they have become estranged back part.
Malè pou peyi nou an, kote tout moun ap viv nan peche! Malè pou pèp ki plen krim sou konsyans yo, pou ras moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, pou bann pitit sa yo ki fin pèvèti! Yo lage pye Bondye Seyè a! Yo pa okipe Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa. Yo vire do ba li.
5 Concerning what? will you be struck again will you increase? rebellion all [the] head [is] for sickness and all [the] heart [is] faint.
Poukisa n'ap plede fè tèt di konsa? Pa gen kote ankò pou yo frape nou. Tout tèt la malad. Pa gen kò ankò pou sipòte.
6 From [the] sole of [the] foot and to [the] head there not in it [is] soundness bruise[s] and welt[s] and wound[s] fresh not they have been pressed out and not they have been bound up and not it has been softened with oil.
Depi nan po tèt nou rive anba pla pye nou, nanpwen kote nan kò nou ki pa malad. Se blese, se foule, se san k'ap koule. Yo pa netwaye yo, yo pa mare anyen sou yo, yo pa mete medikaman sou yo pou kalme doulè yo.
7 Land your [is] a desolation cities your [have been] burned fire ground your to before you strangers [are] devouring it and desolation [is] like [the] overthrow of strangers.
Peyi nou an fini. Dife fin boule tout lavil nou yo ratè. Moun lòt nasyon yo piye tout jaden nou yo, l'a devan je nou. Yo fini ak tout bagay nan peyi a nèt. Yon sèl lafliksyon tonbe sou nou, tankou lè lènmi pase nan peyi a.
8 And she has been left [the] daughter of Zion like a shelter in a vineyard like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field like a city besieged.
Lavil Jerizalèm rete pou kont li sou do mòn Siyon an, tankou yon ti joupa, tankou yon ti tonèl nan mitan jaden. Lènmi sènen l' toupatou.
9 If not Yahweh of hosts he had left to us survivor[s] like a little like Sodom we were Gomorrah we were like.
Si Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pa t' kite kèk moun nan nou chape, lavil la t'ap disparèt nèt tankou sa ki te rive lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò a.
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O rulers of Sodom give ear to [the] instruction of God our O people of Gomorrah.
Lavil Jerizalèm sa a! Chèf li yo tankou chèf lavil Sodòm. Moun li yo tankou moun lavil Gomò. Nou tout ki la a, koute sa Seyè a ap di chèf lavil yo. Pare zòrèy nou pou nou tande lòd Bondye nou an ap bay moun Jerizalèm yo.
11 Why? to me [the] multitude of sacrifices your he says Yahweh I have been surfeited burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat of fatlings and [the] blood of bulls and lambs and goats not I am pleased.
Li di yo: Sa pou m' fè ak pakèt bèt n'ap plede ofri pou touye pou mwen yo? Mwen bouke ak belye mouton n'ap boule sou lotèl la, ak grès towo n'ap ofri ban mwen yo. Kanta pou san bèf, san mouton ak san kabrit yo menm, mwen pa bezwen sa.
12 If you come to present yourselves presence my who? did he require this from hand your to trample courts my.
Lè n'ap vin fè sèvis pou mwen, ki moun ki mande nou pou nou fè tout ale vini sa yo nan lakou tanp mwen an?
13 Not you must repeat to bring an offering of worthlessness incense [is] an abomination it to me new moon and sabbath [the] calling of convocation[s] not I am able to endure wickedness and solemn assembli[es].
Nou mèt sispann fè bann ofrann sa yo ki p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Mwen pa ka sipòte lafimen lansan n'ap ofri m' lan. Mwen pa vle wè fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo, jou repo nou yo ak tout lòt reyinyon n'ap fè yo. M' pa ka sipòte fèt moun k'ap fè mechanste yo ap fè pou mwen.
14 New moons your and appointed feasts your it hates self my they have become on me a burden I am weary to bear [them].
Mwen rayi fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo ak tout bèl seremoni n'ap plede fè yo. Se yon chay yo tounen pou mwen. Mwen pa ka sipòte yo ankò.
15 And when spread out you hands your I will hide eyes my from you also for you will multiply prayer not I [will be] hearing hands your blood they are full.
Lè n'ap leve bra nou anlè pou nou lapriyè nan pye m', m'ap bouche je m' pou m' pa wè nou. Nou mèt fè lapriyè sou lapriyè, mwen p'ap tande nou! Men nou plen san!
16 Wash cleanse yourselves remove [the] wickedness of deeds your from before eyes my cease to do evil.
Manyè netwaye lavi nou non! Mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen non! Sispann tout lenjistis mwen wè n'ap fè yo! Wi, sispann fè sa ki mal!
17 learn To do good seek justice set right [the] oppressor vindicate [the] fatherless conduct a case for [the] widow.
Manyè aprann fè sa ki byen! Chache fè sa ki dwat devan mwen! Pran defans moun y'ap kraze yo! Defann kòz timoun ki san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
18 Come please so let us argue our case together he says Yahweh though they are sins your like scarlet like snow they will become white though they are red like crimson like wool they will be.
Seyè a di konsa: -Nou mèt vini atò! Vini non! Ann regle koze a! Menm si peche nou yo ta tache wouj kou san sou tout kò nou, m'ap lave nou. M'ap fè nou vini blan kou koton. Nou te mèt tache wouj fonse, m'ap blanchi nou, m'ap fè nou blan kou lenn mouton.
19 If you will be willing and you will obey [the] good thing[s] of the land you will eat.
Si nou dakò pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè, n'a manje bèl rekòt peyi a va bay.
20 And if you will refuse and you will rebel [the] sword you will be eaten for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.
Men, si nou derefize koute m', si nou rete ap fè tèt di toujou, nou tout gen pou n' mouri nan lagè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa ak bouch mwen.
21 How! it has become a prostitute a town faithful full of justice righteousness it lodged in it and now murderers.
Yon lè, lavil Jerizalèm te renmen m' ak tout kè li. Koulye a, li tounen yon jennès! Yon lè, se moun ki mache dwat ase ki te rete ladan l', yo pa t' fè lenjistis. Koulye a se renk ansasen!
22 Silver your it has become dross drink your [has been] mixed with water.
Lajan nou yo tounen labou, yo pa vo anyen! Bon diven nou yo tounen dlo!
23 Leaders your [are] rebels and companions of thieves all of it [is] loving a bribe and [is] pursuing rewards [the] fatherless not they vindicate and [the] lawsuit of a widow not it comes to them.
Chèf nou yo leve vire do bay Bondye. Yo fè bann ak vòlò yo! Tout moun cho dèyè avantaj pa yo. Y'ap kouri dèyè moun k'ap bay lajan. Yo pa defann kòz moun ki san papa yo. Lè yon fanm san mari nan ka, yo pa gade l' menm.
24 Therefore [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts [the] mighty one of Israel woe! I will ease myself from foes my and I will avenge myself from enemies my.
Se poutèt sa, koulye a, koute sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki gen fòs kouraj la ap di: Nou se lènmi m'. Nou pa vle wè m'. Mwen pral pran revanj mwen. Mwen p'ap kite nou ban m' traka ankò.
25 And I will turn hand my on you so I may refine like potash dross your and I will remove all slag your.
Mwen pral regle nou. Mwen pral netwaye nou nan dife, tankou lè y'ap netwaye fè. Mwen pral wete tout vye kras ki sou nou.
26 And I will restore judges your as at the former [time] and counselors your as at the beginning after thus it will be called to you [the] city of righteousness a town faithful.
Mwen pral ban nou chèf ak majistra tankou sa nou te konn genyen nan tan lontan yo. Lè sa a, y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm: lavil kote moun mache dwat la, lavil ki renmen m' ak tout kè li.
27 Zion with justice it will be redeemed and repentant [ones] its with righteousness.
Seyè a ap fè sa ki gen pou fèt. L'a sove lavil Jerizalèm. Seyè a ap rann jistis, l'a delivre moun Siyon ki va tounen vin jwenn li yo.
28 And a crushing of rebels and sinners together and [those who] forsake Yahweh they will come to an end.
Men, l'ap kraze sa k'ap fè sa ki mal yo ansanm ak sa k'ap viv nan peche yo. L'ap touye tou sa ki vire do bay Seyè a.
29 For they will be ashamed from [the] oaks which you have desired and you may be abashed from the gardens which you have chosen.
N'a wont akòz gwo pye bwadchenn repozwa nou te konn sèvi yo, akòz bèl jaden nou te plante pou zidòl yo.
30 For you will be like an oak [which is] withering leafage its and like a garden which water not [belongs] to it.
N'ap tankou yon pye bwadchenn k'ap deperi, tankou yon jaden ki pa jwenn dlo.
31 And he will become the strong [person] tow and work his a spark and they will burn both of them together and there not [will be one who] extinguishes.
Menm jan yon ti tensèl mete dife nan yon pil fachin bwa chèch, se konsa sa gwonèg yo ap fè a ap tounen yon tizon dife nan dèyè yo. Pesonn p'ap ka fè anyen pou sove yo.
