Ezayi 56
1 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsève sa ki jis e fè sa ki dwat, paske sali Mwen an prèt pou rive e ladwati Mwen va vin revele.
The LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
2 A la beni nonm ki fè sa a beni, e fis a mesye a ki kenbe sa a fèm; ki pa janm derespekte Saba a, e ki anpeche men l fè mal la.”
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Pa kite etranje a ki te vin jwenn ak SENYÈ a di: “Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè m separe de pèp li a.” Ni pa kite enik lan di: “Gade byen, mwen se yon bwa sèch”.
Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The LORD will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “A enik yo ki kenbe Saba Mwen yo, ki chwazi sa ki fè M plezi, e ki kenbe fèm nan akò Mwen an,
For the LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
5 a yo menm, Mwen va livre depi andann lakay Mwen an; anndan miray Mwen yo, yon memoryal e yon non ki meyè a fis yo oswa fi yo. Mwen va bay yo yon non k ap dire nèt jis pou letènite, ki p ap janm disparèt.”
I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6 “Anplis, etranje ki vin atache yo menm a SENYÈ a, pou sèvi Li, pou renmen non a SENYÈ a, pou vin sèvitè Li, yo tout ki pa derespekte Saba a, e ki kenbe fèm sou akò Mwen an;
Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant,
7 menm sila yo Mwen va mennen sou mòn sen Mwen an, e fè yo plenn lajwa andedan kay priyè Mwen an. Ofrann brile yo ak sakrifis yo va akseptab sou lotèl Mwen an; paske kay Mwen an va rele yon kay lapriyè pou tout pèp yo.”
I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
8 Senyè BONDYE a, ki rasanble dispèse a Israël yo, deklare: “Mwen va rasanble lòt yo anvè yo, lòt anplis de sila ki deja rasanble yo.”
The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “I will yet gather others to him, in addition to his own who are gathered.”
9 Nou tout, bèt a chan yo, vin manje, ak tout bèt a forè yo.
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
10 Gadyen Li yo avèg. Tout nan yo san konprann. Se chen bèbè ki pa ka jape; moun k ap kouche fè rèv, ki renmen somèy.
His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Wi, chen yo voras. Yo pa janm jwenn asi. Se bèje yo ye san konprann. Yo tout vire tounen nan pwòp chemen pa yo, yo chak nan ranmase byen de tout katye.
Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12 “Vini”, yo di: “Annou twouve diven; annou bwè anpil bwason fò. Epi demen na p fè menm jan ak jodi a! Plis menm!”
“Come,” they say, “I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be as today, great beyond measure.”
