Ezayi 1
1 Vizyon Ésaïe a, fis Amots la, konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem, ke li te wè pandan tan pouvwa a Ozias, Jotham, Achaz ak Ézéchias, wa Juda yo.
The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Koute O syèl yo e tande O latè; paske SENYÈ a pale: “Fis Mwen leve yo, men yo fè rebèl kont Mwen.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: “I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
3 Yon bèf konnen mèt li e yon bourik manjwa a mèt li, men Israël pa konsa. Pèp Mwen an pa reflechi.”
The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master's crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider.”
4 Elas, yon nasyon plen peche, yon pèp peze avèk inikite, ras malfektè, fis ki fè zak konwonpi! Yo te abandone SENYÈ a; yo te meprize Sila Ki Sen Israël la. Yo te vire kite Li nèt!
Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil-doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
5 Se ki bo nou va pran so ankò? Poukisa nou mache fè rebèl san rete? Tout tèt la malad e tout kè a fèb.
Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
6 Depi nan pla pye jis rive nan tèt, nanpwen anyen ak sante ladann, sèlman kote ki brize, ak maleng ak blese. Yo pa pran swen, ni panse, ni soulaje l ak lwil.
From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
7 Peyi nou an vin devaste, vil nou yo brile ak dife. Chan nou yo——se etranje k ap devore yo nan prezans nou; se dezolasyon nèt, pandan etranje yo ap ranvèse li.
Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
8 Fi Sion an vin tankou yon ti tonèl nan yon chan rezen, tankou abri a yon gadyen nan yon chan konkonb, tankou yon vil ki anba syèj.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
9 Amwenske SENYÈ dèzame yo te kite kèk grenn chape viv, nou t ap tankou Sodome, nou t ap sanble ak Gomorrhe.
Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
10 Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm, chèf Sodome yo; bay zòrèy nou enstriksyon Bondye nou a, nou menm pèp Gomorrhe.
Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
11 “Ki sa gran fòs kantite sakrifis sa yo ye k ap ogmante pou Mwen?” di SENYÈ a. Mwen fin resevwa kont ofrann brile a belye ak grès a bèf gra yo. Mwen pa pran plezi nan san towo yo, jenn mouton, ni kabrit.
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
12 Lè nou vin parèt devan M, kilès ki egzije nou vin foule lakou Mwen an konsa?
When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
13 Pa vin pote ofrann san valè sa yo ankò; lansan vin abominab devan M. Nouvèl lin ak Saba a, apèl asanble yo— Mwen pa ka sipòte inikite ansanm ak asanble solanèl la.
Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
14 Mwen rayi fèt nouvèl lin yo ak fèt apwente nou yo. Yo vin yon gwo fado pou mwen. Mwen fatige sipòte yo.
Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 Pou sa, lè nou ouvri men nou nan lapriyè, Mwen va kache zye M de nou menm. Wi, menm si nou ogmante lapriyè nou yo, Mwen p ap koute yo. Men nou kouvri ak san.
When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
16 Lave nou pou nou vin pwòp; retire zak malonèt nou yo devan zye M. Sispann fè mechanste.
Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
17 Aprann fè sa ki bon; chache lajistis, fè sekou oprime yo, defann òfelen yo, plede ka a vèv la.
Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
18 “Alò, vini koulye a; annou rezone ansanm, di SENYÈ a: “Malgre peche nou yo wouj, yo va vin blan tankou lanèj; malgre yo fonse tankou kramwazi, y ap vin tankou len.
Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 Si nou vin dakò e obeyi, nou va manje pi bon bagay ki gen nan peyi a;
If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
20 men si nou refize, e fè rebèl, nou va devore pa nepe.” Anverite, bouch SENYÈ a fin pale.”
But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
21 Gade vil fidèl la vin devni yon pwostitiye! Sila ki te konn plen ak jistis la! Nan yon lè, ladwati te rete nan li, men koulye a, se asasen yo ye.
How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
22 Ajan ou yo, koulye a vin tounen kim e bwason ou vin mele ak dlo.
Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
23 Chèf ou yo se rebèl yo ye k ap fè zanmi parèy ak volè. Se yo tout ki renmen resevwa anba tab ak kouri dèyè benifis. Yo pa defann òfelen an, ni ka a vèv la pa rive devan yo.
Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
24 Pou sa, Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, Toupwisan Israël la, deklare: “Ah, M ap jwenn soulajman de advèsè Mwen yo; M ap pran vanjans mwen sou lènmi Mwen yo.
Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
25 Mwen va vire men m kont nou e Mwen va fonn kim nou an tankou se ak likid lesiv, pou l pa gen metal ki rete.
And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
26 Mwen va restore jij nou yo tankou nan kòmansman an ak konseye yo jan lè nou te fenk kòmanse a. Apre sa, yo va rele nou vil ladwati, yon vil ki fidèl.
And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Sion va rachte ak lajistis, e sila ki repanti ladann yo va plen ladwati a.
Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
28 Men transgresè ak pechè yo va kraze ansanm, e sila ki abandone SENYÈ yo va vin disparèt nèt.
But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 Anverite, nou va wont pou bwadchenn ke nou te pito yo, e nou va wont pou jaden ke nou te pito yo.
For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
30 Paske nou va tankou yon bwadchenn ak fèy ki fennen, oswa tankou yon jaden ki pa gen dlo menm.
And ye shall be as a terebinth-tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
31 Sila ki pwisan an va devni retay pishpèn. Zèv li yo anplis va tankou etensèl dife. Konsa, y ap brile ansanm e p ap gen moun ki pou fè yo etenn.”
The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
