Ezayi 1
1 Men vizyon sou peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm Bondye te fè Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, wè sou rèy wa Ozyas, wa Jotam, wa Akaz ak wa Ezekyas nan peyi Jida a.
The vision which Esaias the son of Amos saw, which he saw against Juda, and against Jerusalem, in the reign of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, who reigned over Judea.
2 Seyè a di konsa: -Ou menm syèl la, koute! Ou menm latè, pare zòrèy ou! Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral pale! Pitit mwen te okipe yo, pitit mwen te elve yo, men yo vire do ban mwen.
Hear, O heaven, and listen, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, [saying], I have begotten and reared up children, but they have rebelled against me.
3 Bèf ki bèf konnen mèt li. Bourik ki bourik konnen kote mèt li ba l' manje. Men, pèp Izrayèl la menm pa konn bagay konsa. Pèp mwen an pa konprann anyen.
The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know me, and the people has not regarded me.
4 Malè pou peyi nou an, kote tout moun ap viv nan peche! Malè pou pèp ki plen krim sou konsyans yo, pou ras moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, pou bann pitit sa yo ki fin pèvèti! Yo lage pye Bondye Seyè a! Yo pa okipe Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa. Yo vire do ba li.
Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: you have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
5 Poukisa n'ap plede fè tèt di konsa? Pa gen kote ankò pou yo frape nou. Tout tèt la malad. Pa gen kò ankò pou sipòte.
Why should you be struck [any] more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.
6 Depi nan po tèt nou rive anba pla pye nou, nanpwen kote nan kò nou ki pa malad. Se blese, se foule, se san k'ap koule. Yo pa netwaye yo, yo pa mare anyen sou yo, yo pa mete medikaman sou yo pou kalme doulè yo.
From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer [are healed]: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages.
7 Peyi nou an fini. Dife fin boule tout lavil nou yo ratè. Moun lòt nasyon yo piye tout jaden nou yo, l'a devan je nou. Yo fini ak tout bagay nan peyi a nèt. Yon sèl lafliksyon tonbe sou nou, tankou lè lènmi pase nan peyi a.
Your land is desolate, your cities burnt with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.
8 Lavil Jerizalèm rete pou kont li sou do mòn Siyon an, tankou yon ti joupa, tankou yon ti tonèl nan mitan jaden. Lènmi sènen l' toupatou.
The daughter of Sion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Si Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pa t' kite kèk moun nan nou chape, lavil la t'ap disparèt nèt tankou sa ki te rive lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò a.
And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been made like Gomorrha.
10 Lavil Jerizalèm sa a! Chèf li yo tankou chèf lavil Sodòm. Moun li yo tankou moun lavil Gomò. Nou tout ki la a, koute sa Seyè a ap di chèf lavil yo. Pare zòrèy nou pou nou tande lòd Bondye nou an ap bay moun Jerizalèm yo.
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodoma; attend to the law of God, you people of Gomorrha.
11 Li di yo: Sa pou m' fè ak pakèt bèt n'ap plede ofri pou touye pou mwen yo? Mwen bouke ak belye mouton n'ap boule sou lotèl la, ak grès towo n'ap ofri ban mwen yo. Kanta pou san bèf, san mouton ak san kabrit yo menm, mwen pa bezwen sa.
Of what [value] to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? says the Lord: I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats:
12 Lè n'ap vin fè sèvis pou mwen, ki moun ki mande nou pou nou fè tout ale vini sa yo nan lakou tanp mwen an?
neither shall you come [with these] to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? You shall no more tread my court.
13 Nou mèt sispann fè bann ofrann sa yo ki p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Mwen pa ka sipòte lafimen lansan n'ap ofri m' lan. Mwen pa vle wè fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo, jou repo nou yo ak tout lòt reyinyon n'ap fè yo. M' pa ka sipòte fèt moun k'ap fè mechanste yo ap fè pou mwen.
Though you bring fine flour, [it is] vain; incense is an abomination to me; I can’t bear your new moons, and your sabbaths, and the great day;
14 Mwen rayi fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo ak tout bèl seremoni n'ap plede fè yo. Se yon chay yo tounen pou mwen. Mwen pa ka sipòte yo ankò.
[your] fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: you have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.
15 Lè n'ap leve bra nou anlè pou nou lapriyè nan pye m', m'ap bouche je m' pou m' pa wè nou. Nou mèt fè lapriyè sou lapriyè, mwen p'ap tande nou! Men nou plen san!
When you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though you make many supplications, I will not listen to you; for your hands are full of blood.
16 Manyè netwaye lavi nou non! Mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen non! Sispann tout lenjistis mwen wè n'ap fè yo! Wi, sispann fè sa ki mal!
Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities;
17 Manyè aprann fè sa ki byen! Chache fè sa ki dwat devan mwen! Pran defans moun y'ap kraze yo! Defann kòz timoun ki san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo.
learn to do well; diligently seek judgement, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.
18 Seyè a di konsa: -Nou mèt vini atò! Vini non! Ann regle koze a! Menm si peche nou yo ta tache wouj kou san sou tout kò nou, m'ap lave nou. M'ap fè nou vini blan kou koton. Nou te mèt tache wouj fonse, m'ap blanchi nou, m'ap fè nou blan kou lenn mouton.
And come, let us reason together, says the Lord: and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.
19 Si nou dakò pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè, n'a manje bèl rekòt peyi a va bay.
And if you be willing, and listen to me, you shall eat the good of the land:
20 Men, si nou derefize koute m', si nou rete ap fè tèt di toujou, nou tout gen pou n' mouri nan lagè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa ak bouch mwen.
but if you be not willing, nor listen to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
21 Yon lè, lavil Jerizalèm te renmen m' ak tout kè li. Koulye a, li tounen yon jennès! Yon lè, se moun ki mache dwat ase ki te rete ladan l', yo pa t' fè lenjistis. Koulye a se renk ansasen!
How has the faithful city Sion, [once] full of judgement, become a harlot! wherein righteousness lodged, but now murderers.
22 Lajan nou yo tounen labou, yo pa vo anyen! Bon diven nou yo tounen dlo!
Your silver is worthless, your wine merchants mix the wine with water.
23 Chèf nou yo leve vire do bay Bondye. Yo fè bann ak vòlò yo! Tout moun cho dèyè avantaj pa yo. Y'ap kouri dèyè moun k'ap bay lajan. Yo pa defann kòz moun ki san papa yo. Lè yon fanm san mari nan ka, yo pa gade l' menm.
Your princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.
24 Se poutèt sa, koulye a, koute sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki gen fòs kouraj la ap di: Nou se lènmi m'. Nou pa vle wè m'. Mwen pral pran revanj mwen. Mwen p'ap kite nou ban m' traka ankò.
Therefore thus says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty [men] of Israel; for my wrath shall not cease against mine adversaries, and I will execute judgement on mine enemies.
25 Mwen pral regle nou. Mwen pral netwaye nou nan dife, tankou lè y'ap netwaye fè. Mwen pral wete tout vye kras ki sou nou.
And I will bring my hand upon you, and purge you completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from you all transgressors.
26 Mwen pral ban nou chèf ak majistra tankou sa nou te konn genyen nan tan lontan yo. Lè sa a, y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm: lavil kote moun mache dwat la, lavil ki renmen m' ak tout kè li.
And I will establish your judges as before, and your counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.
27 Seyè a ap fè sa ki gen pou fèt. L'a sove lavil Jerizalèm. Seyè a ap rann jistis, l'a delivre moun Siyon ki va tounen vin jwenn li yo.
For her captives shall be saved with judgement, and with mercy.
28 Men, l'ap kraze sa k'ap fè sa ki mal yo ansanm ak sa k'ap viv nan peche yo. L'ap touye tou sa ki vire do bay Seyè a.
And the transgressors and the sinners shall be crushed together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be utterly consumed.
29 N'a wont akòz gwo pye bwadchenn repozwa nou te konn sèvi yo, akòz bèl jaden nou te plante pou zidòl yo.
For they shall be ashamed of their idols, which they delighted in, and they are made ashamed of the gardens which they coveted.
30 N'ap tankou yon pye bwadchenn k'ap deperi, tankou yon jaden ki pa jwenn dlo.
For they shall be as a turpentine tree that has cast its leaves, and as a garden that has no water.
31 Menm jan yon ti tensèl mete dife nan yon pil fachin bwa chèch, se konsa sa gwonèg yo ap fè a ap tounen yon tizon dife nan dèyè yo. Pesonn p'ap ka fè anyen pou sove yo.
And their strength shall be as a thread of tow, and their works as sparks, and the transgressors and the sinners shall be burnt up together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
