Ezayi 56
1 Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a: -Se pou nou fè sa ki dwat. Pa fè lenjistis. Paske mwen pa lwen vin delivre nou, mwen pa lwen fè nou konnen jan m'ap pran defans nou.
Thus said YHWH: “Keep judgment, and do righteousness, For My salvation [is] near to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.”
2 benediksyon pou moun ki fè sa m' di yo fè a epi ki toujou kenbe pawòl mwen yo fèm. benediksyon pou moun ki respekte jou repo a, pou moun ki pa mete men l' nan ankenn movezak.
O the blessedness of a man who does this, And of a son of man who keeps hold on it, Keeping the Sabbath from defiling it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
3 Yon moun lòt nasyon ki va kole kò l' ak pèp Seyè a pa fèt pou di: Seyè a p'ap kite m' fè sèvis pou li ansanm ak pèp li a. Yon moun ki chatre pa dwe janm di: Se yon vye pyebwa chèch mwen ye, mwen pa ka fè pati pèp Bondye a.
Do not let a son of the stranger speak, Who is joined to YHWH, saying, “YHWH certainly separates me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dried up tree,”
4 Men sa Seyè a di: Lè yon moun ki chatre mete jou repo a apa pou mwen, lè li chwazi pou l' fè volonte mwen, lè li kenbe kontra mwen an fèm,
For thus said YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
5 m'ap fè yo chonje l' nan tanp mwen an ak nan mitan pèp mwen an pi lontan pase si li te gen pitit gason ak pitit fi. M'ap fè yo pa janm bliye l'.
I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, I give a continuous name to him That is not cut off.
6 Tout moun lòt nasyon ki va vin kole kò yo ansanm ak pèp Seyè a pou yo sèvi l', pou yo renmen l' tankou yon sèvitè, tout moun ki mete jou repo a apa san yo pa derespekte l' epi ki kenbe kontra m' lan fèm,
And sons of the stranger, who are joined to YHWH, To serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, To be for servants to Him, All keeping from defiling the Sabbath, And those keeping hold on My covenant,
7 m'ap mennen yo sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an, m'a ba yo kè kontan nan kay kote yo fè lapriyè pou mwen an. M'a asepte tout bèt y'a ofri pou boule sou lotèl mwen ak tout lòt ofrann y'a fè pou mwen. Y'a rele kay mwen an kay kote tout pèp va vin fè lapriyè nan pye m'.
I have brought them to 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 My altar, For My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 Men sa Seyè a, Bondye a, di, li menm ki te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo sanble nan peyi yo a ankò: Anplis moun pèp mwen an, mwen va sanble yon bann lòt moun ankò ansanm ak yo.
A declaration of Lord YHWH, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: “Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.”
9 Seyè a rele moun lòt nasyon yo pou yo vin devore, pou yo vin manje tankou bèt mawon ki nan savann ak bèt ki nan rakbwa.
Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
10 Li di: -Tout chèf ki la pou avèti pèp mwen an, je yo pete. Yo pa konprann anyen. Yo tankou chen ki pa janm jape. Lespri yo byen lwen. Yo kouche tout lajounen, y'ap kabicha.
His watchmen [are] blind—all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yo tankou chen aloufa, anyen pa janm kont yo. Se yon bann chèf san konprann. Yo tout fè sa yo pito. Se avantaj yo ase y'ap defann.
And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them turned to their own way, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
12 Y'ap plede di: Vini non! N'a jwenn diven. N'a pran kèk bon razad gwòg. Denmen menm, bagay la ap pi bon toujou pase jòdi a.
“Come, I take wine, And we drink, gulp strong drink, And tomorrow has been as this day, Great—exceedingly abundant!”
