Isaiah 66
1 Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where [is] this — the house that ye build for Me? And where [is] this — the place — My rest?
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Syèl la, se fòtèy kote mwen chita a. Tè a, se ti ban pou m' lonje pye m'. Ki kalite kay nou ta ka bati pou mwen? Ki kote nou ta ka ban mwen pou m' poze kò m'?
2 And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.
Se mwen menm ki fè tout bagay sa yo ak men mwen. Se pou mwen yo tout ye! Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Moun ki fè m' plezi se moun ki pa gen lògèy nan kè yo, se moun ki règrèt sa yo fè ki mal, se moun ki gen krentif pou mwen lè m' pale.
3 Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present — The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.
Pèp la fè sa yo pito. Yo touye bèf pou mwen jòdi, denmen yo touye moun pou zidòl yo. Yo ofri ti mouton pou yo touye pou mwen jòdi, denmen yo kase kou chen pou zidòl. Yo fè ofrann grenn jaden yo jòdi pou mwen, denmen yo fè ofrann san kochon pou zidòl. Yo boule lansan sou lotèl mwen an pou m' pa janm bliye moun ki fè ofrann lan jòdi, denmen y'ap fè sèvis pou di Satan mèsi. Yo pran plezi nan fè zafè pa yo jan yo vle. Yo kontan fè vye bagay lèd y'ap fè yo.
4 I also — I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not — fixed.
Mwen menm tou m'ap pran plezi m' aji ak yo menm jan yo aji a. M'ap fè malè yo pè rive yo a tonbe sou yo, paske mwen rele yo, pesonn pa reponn. Mwen pale yo, yo pa koute m'. Y'ap fè sa ki mal devan je m', yo pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.
5 Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name's sake: 'Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,' But they are ashamed.
Koute sa Seyè a di, nou menm ki gen krentif pou li lè li pale ak nou: Paske nou pa vire do ban mwen, gen moun menm ras ak nou ki pa vle wè nou, ki derefize mele ak nou. Y'ap di konsa: Se pou Seyè a fè wè pouvwa li, paske yo ta renmen wè jan nou kontan. Men se yo menm k'ap soti wont.
6 A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies.
Koute! Gwo bri nou tande k'ap fèt nan lavil la, gwo vwa nou tande k'ap pale nan tanp lan, se bri Seyè a k'ap tire revanj li sou lènmi l' yo.
7 Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male.
Lavil Bondye a tankou yon fanm ki akouche anvan menm li gen tranche. Li gen tan fè yon ti gason anvan menm li santi doulè.
8 Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons.
Ki moun ki janm tande koze konsa? Ki moun ki janm wè bagay konsa? Eske yon sèl jou kont pou fè tout yon nasyon? Eske lapoula yo ka fè tout yon nasyon? Mòn Siyon an p'ap soufri anpil anvan nasyon an fèt.
9 'Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, 'Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God.
Eske mwen ka fè yon fanm kase lèzo, lèfini pou m' pa kite l' akouche? Eske mwen ka fè pitit la rive sou jou l' lèfini pou m' pa kite l' fèt? Se Bondye ou la menm ki di sa!
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her,
Fè kè nou kontan ansanm ak lavil Jerizalèm. Fè fèt pou li, nou tout ki renmen l'! Se pou nou kontan ansanm avè l' koulye a, nou menm ki te nan lapenn pou li!
11 So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour.
Tankou yon ti bebe k'ap tete manman l' jouk vant li plen, tankou yon ti bebe k'ap kontan souse lèt manman l', nou pral jwenn pa nou nan bèl bagay m'ap fè pou lavil Jerizalèm.
12 For thus said Jehovah: 'Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled.
Paske, men sa Seyè a di: -Mwen pral ba li kè poze san rete. Richès nasyon yo pral kouvri l' tankou lè inondasyon dlo kouvri latè. Nou pral tankou ti bebe pou li: l'ap ban nou tete, l'a pote nou nan bra li, l'a mete nou sou jenou l' pou li jwe ak nou.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted.
Menm jan yon manman konsole pitit li, se konsa m'ap konsole nou nan lavil Jerizalèm.
14 And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
Lè n'a wè sa, kè nou va kontan: sa va ban nou fòs ak kouraj ankò. Lè sa a, n'a konnen mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap pwoteje sèvitè m' yo, men lènmi m' yo va konnen jan m' konn fache.
15 For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire.
Seyè a ap vin nan yon gwo dife. Li moute sou nwaj yon gwo tanpèt pou l' vin pini moun ki te fè l' fache yo, pou l' regle yo jan li te di l'ap regle yo a nan yon gwo boukan dife.
16 For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.'
Se avèk dife Seyè a pral jije, avèk nepe l' li pral regle tout moun ki koupab yo. Anpil moun pral mouri anba men l'.
17 Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Seyè a di ankò: -Talè konsa sa pral fini pou moun k'ap fè sèvis pou mete kò yo nan bon kondisyon anvan y'a l' fè pwosesyon pou zidòl nan jaden yo, pou moun k'ap manje vyann kochon, vyann sourit ak lòt kalite manje ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
18 And I — their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
Mwen konnen sa y'ap fè, mwen konnen sa ki nan lide yo. Mwen menm, m'ap vin sanble pèp tout nasyon yo, pèp ki pale tout kalite lang sou latè. Y'a vini, y'a wè bèl pouvwa mwen.
19 And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off, ) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.
M'a fè yo konnen se mwen menm k'ap pini yo. Men, m'ap sove kèk moun ladan yo, pou m' voye yo nan tout nasyon, nan tout peyi byen lwen ki poko janm tande non m' nan zòrèy yo, ki pa janm wè pouvwa mwen, nan peyi Lespay, nan peyi Libi, nan peyi Lidi, kote ki gen moun ki konn sèvi ak banza ak anpil ladrès, nan peyi Toubal ak nan peyi Lagrès. Yo pral fè moun tout nasyon yo konnen jan mwen gen pouvwa.
20 And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.
Y'a pran tout frè parèy nou yo, y'a mennen yo tounen soti nan peyi sa yo, tankou yon ofrann pou mwen. Y'ap mennen yo tounen sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an, lavil Jerizalèm, sou chwal, sou milèt, sou chamo, nan kabwèt kouvri, nan cha, menm jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo konn pote grenn jaden pou ofri nan tanp lan nan veso yo mete nan bon kondisyon espre pou sa.
21 And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah.
M'a pran kèk moun nan moun sa yo pou fè travay prèt ak travay moun Levi yo. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
22 For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name.
Menm jan lòt syèl ak lòt latè m'ap fè yo ap la pou lontan devan m', konsa tou pitit nou ak non nou ap la pou lontan. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
23 And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah.
Pou chak fèt lalin nouvèl, pou chak jou repo, moun tout peyi va vin fè sèvis pou mwen isit lavil Jerizalèm. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
24 And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!
Lè y'ap kite lavil la, y'a wè kadav moun ki te vire do ban mwen yo. Vè k'ap manje yo p'ap janm mouri, dife k'ap boule yo a p'ap janm tenyen. Tout moun sou latè pral gen kè plen lè y'a wè sa!
