Ezayi 57
1 Moun k'ap mache dwat yo ap fin mouri nan peyi a, sa pa fè pesonn anyen. Moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ak tout kè yo ap fin disparèt, pesonn pa wè sa. Mechanste fè moun k'ap mache dwat yo disparèt.
The righteous hath perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil Gathered is the righteous one.
2 Moun ki t'ap mache dwat yo ale kote yo jwenn kè poze, yo kouche nan tonm yo.
He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
3 Nou menm ki p'ap fè anyen san konsilte zetwal, pwoche vini! Se yon bann moun ki vire do bay Bondye nou ye. N'ap sèvi zidòl, nou tankou moun k'ap fè adiltè, k'ap viv nan dezòd.
And ye, come near hither, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even thou dost commit whoredom.
4 Ki moun n'ap pase nan betiz la a? Ki moun n'ap pale mal konsa? Sou ki moun n'ap fè grimas konsa? Se yon bann moun ki pa janm kenbe pawòl yo, yon bann moun k'ap bay manti nou ye.
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge ye the mouth? Prolong ye the tongue? Are not ye children of transgression? a false seed?
5 N'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl nan jaden nou. Nou kouche ak fanm anba pye bwadchenn, anba tout raje. Nou bay timoun nou pou yo touye pou zidòl yo nan twou wòch nan bafon yo.
Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
6 Nou pran kèk gwo wòch galèt nan ravin yo sèvi nou Bondye. Se yo ki tout nou. Nou fè ofrann grenn jaden ak ofrann diven pou yo vide sou yo. Nou konprann bagay konsa ka fè m' plezi!
Among the smooth things of a brook [is] thy portion, They — they [are] thy lot, Also to them thou hast poured out an oblation, Thou hast caused a present to ascend, For these things am I comforted?
7 Nou moute sou yon gwo mòn byen wo pou n' al kouche ak fanm, pou n' al touye bèt nou ofri bay zidòl yo.
On a mountain, high and exalted, Thou hast set thy couch, Also thither thou hast gone up to make a sacrifice.
8 Nou mete wòch zidòl nou yo dèyè pòtay nou, nan papòt lakay nou. Nou vire do ban mwen, nou mete nou toutouni, nou moute sou gwo kabann byen laj nou, nou kouche ak medam, chwal zidòl yo, nou peye pou sa. Nou pran kont plezi nou ak je nou kole sou wòch zidòl yo.
And behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy memorial, For from Me thou hast removed, and goest up, Thou hast enlarged thy couch, And dost covenant for thyself among them, Thou hast loved their couch, the station thou sawest,
9 Nou mete odè sou nou, nou pati al fè sèvis pou Molòk. Nou mete tout kalite odè sou nou. Nou voye mesaje byen lwen al chache zidòl pou nou. Nou voye yo jouk nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)
And goest joyfully to the king in ointment, And dost multiply thy perfumes, And sendest thine ambassadors afar off, And humblest thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Nou fatige kò nou ap vwayaje, men nou pa janm kite! Nou mete nan tèt nou zidòl yo ap ban nou fòs pou nou pa janm bouke.
In the greatness of thy way thou hast laboured, Thou hast not said, 'It is desperate.' The life of thy hand thou hast found, Therefore thou hast not been sick.
11 Seyè a di: Kilès bondye sa yo ki t'ap ban nou kè sote, ki t'ap fè nou pè konsa, kifè ou bay tout manti sa yo? Kilès sa a ki fè nou bliye m' konsa? Nou pa chonje reve m'. Eske se paske mwen rete mwen pa di anyen kifè nou sispann gen krentif pou mwen?
And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid [it] to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?
12 M'ap denonse tou sa n'ap plede fè pou sove tèt nou. Nou kwè l'ap bon pou nou, men sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen.
I declare thy righteousness, and thy works, And they do not profit thee.
13 Lè n'a rele mande sekou, se pou tout zidòl nou yo vin sove nou si yo kapab! Yon senp ti van ap pote yo ale, yon ti briz van ap pati ak yo. Men, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen va rete nan peyi a, y'a rete sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an.
When thou criest, let thy gatherings deliver thee, And all of them carry away doth wind, Take away doth vanity, And whoso is trusting in Me inheriteth the land, And doth possess My holy mountain.
14 Lè sa a, Seyè a di: -Pare wout la pou pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen. Mete ranblè. Wete tout bagay k'ap bare wout la devan pèp mwen an.
And he hath said, 'Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.'
15 Se mwen menm Bondye ki anwo nèt nan syèl la, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an, Bondye ki apa nèt la. Men sa mwen di: mwen rete yon kote ki anwo nèt, yon kote ki apa pou mwen nèt. Men mwen kanpe la avèk moun ki soumèt yo devan m', avèk moun ki gen lapenn tout bon pou sa yo fè ki mal, pou m' ka remoute kouraj yo, pou m' ba yo konfyans ankò.
For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy [is] His name: 'In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'
16 Mwen pa vle nan diskit tout tan ak yo, mwen pa vle rete ankòlè tout tan pou moun mwen bay lavi yo pa pèdi kouraj.
For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.
17 Wi, mwen te fache anpil sou yo paske yo te gen move lanvi nan kè yo. Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te pini yo, mwen te lage yo, paske yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo t'ap fè sa yo pi pito.
For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite him, Hiding — and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.
18 Mwen te wè tou sa yo t'ap fè, men m'ap geri yo. Mwen pral pran men yo pou m' mennen yo sou bon chemen an. M'a remoute kouraj sa ki nan lapenn yo.
His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
19 M'a di yo: Kè poze pou nou tout ki lwen, kè poze pou nou tout ki pre. M'a mete lwanj nan bouch yo, m'ap ba yo tout kè poze, m'ap geri yo.
Producing the fruit of the lips, 'Peace, peace,' to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.
20 Men, mechan yo tankou lanmè ki boulvèse. Lanm lanmè yo ap bat san rete, y'ap jete kras ak labou sou rivaj la.
And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For to rest it is not able, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
21 Bondye mwen an di: Pa gen kè poze pou mechan yo.
There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!
