Ezayi 55
1 “Gade! Tout sa ki swaf yo, vin nan dlo! Nou menm ki pa gen kòb yo, vin achte pou manje. Vin achte diven ak lèt san lajan, e san frè.
Alle that thirsten, come ye to watris, and ye han not siluer, haaste, bie ye, and ete ye; come ye, bie ye, with out siluer and with outen ony chaungyng, wyn and mylk.
2 Poukisa nou depanse lajan pou sa ki pa pen, ak kouraj travay nou pou sa ki pa ka satisfè? Koute Mwen avèk atansyon, manje sa ki bon e pran plezi nou an abondans.
Whi peisen ye siluer, and not in looues, and youre trauel, not in fulnesse? Ye herynge here me, and ete ye good, and youre soule schal delite in fatnesse.
3 Prete zòrèy nou e vin kote Mwen. Koute pou nou ka viv. Mwen va fè yon akò avè w k ap dire pou tout tan, selon mizerikòd fidèl ki te montre a David la.
Bowe ye youre eere, and `come ye to me; here ye, and youre soule schal lyue; and Y schal smyte with you a couenaunt euerlastynge, the feithful mercies of Dauid.
4 Gade byen, Mwen te bay li kon yon temwen a pèp la, yon chèf ak kòmandè pou pèp la.
Lo! Y yaf hym a witnesse to puplis, a duyk and a comaundour to folkis.
5 Gade byen, ou va rele yon nasyon ou pa rekonèt; yon nasyon ki pa rekonèt ou va kouri bò kote ou, akoz SENYÈ Bondye ou a, ak Sila Ki Sen an Israël la; paske Li te bay ou glwa.”
Lo! thou schalt clepe folkis, whiche thou knewist not; and folkis, that knewen not thee, schulen renne to thee; for thi Lord God, and the hooli of Israel, for he glorifiede thee.
6 Chache SENYÈ a pandan Li kapab twouve; rele Li pandan Li toupre a.
Seke ye the Lord, while he mai be foundun; clepe ye hym to help, while he is niy.
7 Kite mechan an abandone chemen li an, ak pechè a, panse li yo. Kite li retounen kote SENYÈ a e Li va gen mizerikòd sou li; anvè Bondye nou an, ki pa janm manke mizerikòd.
An vnfeithful man forsake his weie, and a wickid man forsake hise thouytis; and turne he ayen to the Lord, and he schal haue merci on hym, and to oure God, for he is myche to foryyue.
8 “Paske, panse pa Mwen yo se pa panse pa w, ni wout ou yo se pa wout pa M”, deklare SENYÈ a.
For why my thouytis ben not youre thouytis, and my weies ben not youre weies, seith the Lord.
9 Paske tankou syèl yo pi wo ke tè a, konsa wout Mwen yo pi wo ke wout pa w yo, e panse Mwen yo ke panse pa w yo.
For as heuenys ben reisid fro erthe, so my weies ben reisid fro youre weies, and my thouytis fro youre thouytis.
10 Paske menm jan ke lapli ak lanèj desann sòti nan syèl la, e pa retounen la, san ke yo pa awoze tè a, pou fè l donnen e boujonnen, pou fè l bay semans pou kiltivatè, ak pen pou sila k ap manje a;
And as reyn and snow cometh doun fro heuene, and turneth no more ayen thidur, but it fillith the erthe, and bischedith it, and makith it to buriowne, and yyueth seed to hym that sowith, and breed to hym that etith,
11 se konsa pawòl Mwen ki sòti nan bouch Mwen va ye. Li p ap retounen kote Mwen vid, san ke li pa akonpli sa ke M dezire a, san ke li pa akonpli bi pou sila Mwen te voye li a.
so schal be my word, that schal go out of my mouth. It schal not turne ayen voide to me, but it schal do what euer thingis Y wolde, and it schal haue prosperite in these thingis to whiche Y sente it.
12 Paske ou va sòti ak kè kontan e mennen sòti ak lapè. Mòn yo ak kolin yo va eklate nan gwo kri lajwa devan ou, e tout bwa nan chan yo va bat men yo.
For ye schulen go out in gladnesse, and ye schulen be led forth in pees; mounteyns and litil hillis schulen synge heriynge bifore you, and alle the trees of the cuntrei schulen make ioie with hond.
13 Olye de bwa pikan, bwa siprè va leve; olye machacha, bwa jasmen va leve. Sa va sèvi kon yon memoryal a SENYÈ a, kon yon sign k ap dire nèt, ki p ap janm disparèt.
A fir tre schal grow for a firse, and a mirte tre schal wexe for a nettil; and the Lord schal be nemyd in to a signe euerlastynge, that schal not be doon awei.
