Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Vini non, nou tout ki swaf dlo. Men dlo! Vini non, nou tout ki pa gen lajan, nou mèt vini. Achte manje pou nou manje. Nou pa bezwen lajan! Achte diven ak lèt pou nou bwè. Nou pa bezwen peye!
2 Why do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labor for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan achte manje ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou? Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan travay nou pou bagay ki pa ka plen vant nou? Si nou koute byen sa m'ap di nou la a, n'a manje sa ki bon. N'a pran plezi nou nan manje bon kalite manje.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David.
Louvri zòrèy nou. Vin jwenn mwen. Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, n'a jwenn lavi. M'ap siyen yon kontra ak nou pou tout tan. M'a ban nou benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo.
4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Gade. Mwen te fè l' chèf pou l' te kòmande nasyon yo. Mwen te fè l' sèvi m' temwen nan mitan yo.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation [that] thou knowest not, and nations [that] knew not thee shall run to thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
Gade, ou pral rele nasyon ou pa t' konnen. Nasyon ki pa t' konnen ou pral kouri vin jwenn ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, Bondye apa pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap fè sa rive konsa, paske m'ap leve ou anlè.
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, pandan nou ka jwenn li an. Lapriyè nan pye l' pandan li toupre nou an.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Se pou mechan yo kite move chemen y'ap swiv la. Se pou malveyan yo wete move lide k'ap travay nan tèt yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ki va gen pitye pou yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou an, paske l'ap padonnen tou sa yo fè.
8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Lide pa m' pa menm ak lide pa nou. Chemen pa nou pa menm ak chemen pa m'. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Menm jan syèl la byen lwen anwo latè, se konsa lide pa m' byen lwen anwo lide pa nou, chemen pa m' byen lwen chemen pa nou.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Gade! Lapli ak lawouze soti nan syèl la, yo pa tounen kote yo soti a san yo pa wouze latè, san yo pa fè l' donnen, san yo pa fè plant yo pouse pou bay kiltivatè yo grenn pou yo simen ak manje pou yo manje.
11 So shall my word be that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] for which I sent it.
Konsa tou pou pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen: li p'ap tounen vin jwenn mwen san li pa fè sa m' te vle l' fè a, san li pa fè tou sa mwen te voye l' fè a.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
N'a kite lavil Babilòn ak kè kontan. Y'a mennen nou tounen lakay nou ak kè poze. Gwo mòn yo ak ti mòn yo va pran chante pou nou sitèlman y'a kontan. Tout pyebwa nan plenn yo va bat bravo pou nou!
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
Pye pichpen va pouse kote ki te plen pikan. Pye ilan-ilan va pouse kote ki te plen chadwon. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a, yon remak k'ap la pou tout tan, yon siy pesonn p'ap ka detwi.
