Ezayi 65
1 Seyè a te di: -Mwen te tou pare pou m' te reponn lapriyè pèp mwen an, menm lè yo pa t' lapriyè m'. Mwen te toupre yo, menm lè yo pa t' chache m'. Pèp la pa lapriyè nan pye m', atout mwen te toujou pare pou m' di yo: Men mwen! Men mwen!
I have heard those that made no supplication; I have been found by those who sought me not; I said, Here I am, here I am, To a people that called not upon my name.
2 Chak jou mwen t'ap lonje men m' bay yon pèp ki t'ap kenbe tèt ak mwen, ki t'ap fè sa ki mal, ki t'ap fè sa yo pito.
I have spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
3 Nan figi m' konsa, yo t'ap plede fè bagay pou fè m' fache. Yo ofri bèt pou touye pou zidòl nan jaden yo, yo boule lansan sou lotèl zidòl yo.
To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
4 Lannwit, y' al nan simityè ak nan twou wòch pou fè sèvis pou mò ka di yo sa pou yo fè. Yo manje vyann kochon, yo bwè bouyon fèt ak vyann ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.
That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swine's flesh, And have broth of unclean things in their vessels;
5 Apre sa, yonn di lòt: Pa pwoche m'. Pa manyen m', paske yo mete m' apa pou Bondye! Non, mwen pa ka sipòte sa y'ap fè a. Sa fè m' move, kòlè mwen tankou yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.
Who yet say: Stand by thyself! come not near to me, For I am holier than thou! These are a smoke in my nose, A fire that burneth continually.
6 Seyè a te di: Men desizyon mwen fin pran nan kè m': Mwen p'ap bay kò m' kanpo toutotan mwen pa pini yo, toutan mwen pa regle yo
Behold, it stands recorded before me; I will not keep silence, but will requite; I will requite it into their bosoms;
7 pou peche yo ak pou peche zansèt yo. Yo te boule lansan pou zidòl sou mòn yo, yo t'ap derespekte m' sou ti bit mòn yo. Se poutèt sa m'ap regle ak yo jan yo merite l' la.
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, Who burnt incense on the mountains, And dishonored me on the hills, I will pour the full recompense of their former deeds into their bosom.
8 Men sa Seyè a te di ankò: -Pesonn pa janm voye yon bon grap rezen jete. Okontrè, li sere l' pou fè diven ak li. Konsa tou, mwen p'ap detwi tout pèp la, m'ap sove moun k'ap sèvi m' yo.
Thus saith Jehovah: As when juice is found in a cluster, Men say, “Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it”; So will I do, for the sake of my servants, and will not destroy the whole;
9 Nan tout fanmi Jakòb la, m'ap fè moun branch fanmi Jida yo pran mòn mwen yo pou yo. Se la moun mwen chwazi yo ak moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va rete.
I will cause a stem to spring forth from Jacob, And from Judah a possessor of my mountains; My chosen shall possess the land, And my servants shall dwell there.
10 Plenn Sawon an pral tounen yon jaden zèb pou mouton m' yo, pou moun k'ap sèvi m' yo. Mwen pral lonje bèf mwen yo, moun ki toujou ap chache fè volonte m' yo, nan fon Akò pou yo ka manje.
And Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting-place for herds, For my people that have sought me.
11 Men pou nou menm ki vire do bay Seyè a, nou menm ki bliye mòn ki apa pou mwen an, epi ki al fè sèvis manje pou Gad, ki al fè ofrann bwason pou Mini,
But ye, who have forsaken Jehovah, And have forgotten my holy mountain, That prepare a table for Fortune, And fill the cup for Destiny,
12 m'ap fè nou mouri nan lagè. Nou tout nou pral bese do nou pou yo koupe kou nou, paske mwen te rele nou, nou pa t' reponn. Mwen pale nou, nou pa t' koute m'. Nou fè sa ki mal devan je m', nou pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.
Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no delight.
13 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: -Moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va jwenn kont manje pou yo manje. Men nou menm n'a ret grangou. Sèvitè m' yo va jwenn kont pou yo bwè, nou menm n'ap ret swaf dlo. Sèvitè m' yo va gen kè kontan; men nou menm n'a wont.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
14 Sèvitè m' yo va fè fèt tèlman y'a kontan, men nou menm n'a plenn, n'a gen kè sere, n'a rele, kè nou va kase.
Behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of spirit.
15 Moun mwen chwazi yo va sèvi ak non nou pou joure moun. Mwen menm Seyè a, m'a fè nou mouri. Y'a di: Se pou Seyè a touye ou tankou l' touye moun sa yo! Men, m'a bay sèvitè m' yo yon bon repitasyon.
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, And the Lord Jehovah shall slay you; But his servants will he call by another name.
16 Tout moun nan peyi a ki bezwen benediksyon va jwenn benediksyon nan men Bondye ki toujou kenbe pawòl li a. Tout moun nan peyi a k'ap fè sèman va fè l' nan non Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li a, paske moun yo p'ap chonje tray yo te konn pase nan tan lontan yo, m'ap bliye sa.
Whoso blesseth himself in the land Shall bless by the true God; And he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the true God; For the former troubles are forgotten, And they are hid from mine eyes.
17 Mwen pral fè yon lòt syèl ak yon lòt tè. Pesonn p'ap chonje sa ki te pase nan tan lontan. Sa p'ap janm vin nan tèt yo ankò.
For behold! I create new heavens, and a new earth; The former ones shall not be remembered, Nor shall they be brought to mind any more.
18 Sa m' pral fè a ap bay kè kontan, moun ap fè fèt san rete. Mwen pral fè yon lòt lavil Jerizalèm kote tout moun pral fè fèt. Moun li yo pral kontan.
But ye shall be glad and exult forever In that which I create; For behold! I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
19 Mwen menm m'ap fè fèt pou Jerizalèm, m'ap kontan pou pèp mwen an. P'ap gen kriye ankò nan lavil la! P'ap gen rele mande sekou ankò!
And I will exult in Jerusalem, And rejoice in my people; No more shall be heard therein The voice of weeping and the cry of distress.
20 Timoun p'ap mouri tou piti ankò! Granmoun ap fè tout tan yo! Pi bonnè pou yo mouri se va sou santan. Moun ki va rive gen santan anvan yo mouri, y'a mouri jenn! Moun ki va mouri anvan yo rive gen santan, se moun ki va gen madichon!
There shall not be there an infant child, nor an old man, That hath not filled the measure of his years; For he that dieth a hundred years old shall die a youth, And the sinner dying a hundred years old shall be held accursed.
21 Moun va bati kay pou yo rete. Y'a plante jaden rezen pou yo manje rezen.
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them;
22 Yo p'ap bati kay ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou rete ladan yo. Yo p'ap plante jaden ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou manje l'. Pèp mwen an ap viv rive gen menm laj ak pyebwa. Pèp mwen chwazi a va jwi travay yo fè ak men yo kont kò yo.
They shall not build, and another inhabit; They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, Yea, long shall my chosen enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Yo p'ap kraze kò yo travay pou bontan ankò! Travay yo va rapòte yo! Pitit yo p'ap konn sa ki rele malè ankò! M'ap beni yo ansanm ak pitit yo jouk sa kaba.
They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for early death; For they are a race blessed by Jehovah, And their offspring shall remain to them.
24 Anvan menm yo fin lapriyè, m'ap gen tan reponn yo. Anvan menm yo fèmen bouch yo, m'ap gen tan ba yo sa yo mande a.
Before they call, I will answer; And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Chen mawon ak mouton pral manje ansanm. Lyon pral manje zèb menm jan ak bèf. Sèpan p'ap yon danje ankò pou pesonn. Sou tout mòn ki apa pou mwen an, p'ap gen mechanste, p'ap gen rayisab ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt, nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, Saith Jehovah.
