Isaiah 56
1 Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.'
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsève sa ki jis e fè sa ki dwat, paske sali Mwen an prèt pou rive e ladwati Mwen va vin revele.
2 O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
A la beni nonm ki fè sa a beni, e fis a mesye a ki kenbe sa a fèm; ki pa janm derespekte Saba a, e ki anpeche men l fè mal la.”
3 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'
Pa kite etranje a ki te vin jwenn ak SENYÈ a di: “Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè m separe de pèp li a.” Ni pa kite enik lan di: “Gade byen, mwen se yon bwa sèch”.
4 For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “A enik yo ki kenbe Saba Mwen yo, ki chwazi sa ki fè M plezi, e ki kenbe fèm nan akò Mwen an,
5 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not cut off.
a yo menm, Mwen va livre depi andann lakay Mwen an; anndan miray Mwen yo, yon memoryal e yon non ki meyè a fis yo oswa fi yo. Mwen va bay yo yon non k ap dire nèt jis pou letènite, ki p ap janm disparèt.”
6 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on My covenant.
“Anplis, etranje ki vin atache yo menm a SENYÈ a, pou sèvi Li, pou renmen non a SENYÈ a, pou vin sèvitè Li, yo tout ki pa derespekte Saba a, e ki kenbe fèm sou akò Mwen an;
7 I have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.
menm sila yo Mwen va mennen sou mòn sen Mwen an, e fè yo plenn lajwa andedan kay priyè Mwen an. Ofrann brile yo ak sakrifis yo va akseptab sou lotèl Mwen an; paske kay Mwen an va rele yon kay lapriyè pou tout pèp yo.”
8 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his gathered ones.'
Senyè BONDYE a, ki rasanble dispèse a Israël yo, deklare: “Mwen va rasanble lòt yo anvè yo, lòt anplis de sila ki deja rasanble yo.”
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
Nou tout, bèt a chan yo, vin manje, ak tout bèt a forè yo.
10 Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
Gadyen Li yo avèg. Tout nan yo san konprann. Se chen bèbè ki pa ka jape; moun k ap kouche fè rèv, ki renmen somèy.
11 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
Wi, chen yo voras. Yo pa janm jwenn asi. Se bèje yo ye san konprann. Yo tout vire tounen nan pwòp chemen pa yo, yo chak nan ranmase byen de tout katye.
12 'Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
“Vini”, yo di: “Annou twouve diven; annou bwè anpil bwason fò. Epi demen na p fè menm jan ak jodi a! Plis menm!”
