Ezayi 57
1 Moun dwat la peri, men pèsòn pa pran sa a kè. Sila ak mizerikòd vin retire, men pèsòn pa konsidere ke moun dwat la retire pou anpeche mal la rive l.
See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.
2 Li antre nan lapè. Chak antre nan pwòp kabann pa l; tout sila ki te mache dwat nan chemen li yo.
His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way.
3 “Men vini isit la, nou menm fis a yon manbo, desandan a yon fanm adiltè ak yon pwostitiye.
But draw ye near hither, ye lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot.
4 Se kont kilès nou fè plezi a? Kont kilès nou ouvri bouch nou laj e lonje lang nou an? Se pa desandan a rebèl nou ye, ak pòtè a desepsyon?
Wherein have ye been rioting? and against whom have ye opened your mouth, and against whom have ye loosed your tongue? are ye not children of perdition? a lawless seed?
5 Kap limen tèt nou pami bwadchenn yo, anba tout gwo bwa vèt, ki fè masak timoun yo nan ravin yo, anba fenèt wòch gwo falèz yo?
who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks?
6 Pami wòch swa nan ravin nan se pòsyon pa w; pou yo menm ou te voye osò a. Menm pou yo menm, ou te vide yon ofrann bwason. Ou te fè yon ofrann sereyal. Èske M ta dwe ralanti konsènan bagay sa yo?
That is thy portion, this is thy lot: and to them hast thou poured forth drink-offerings, and to these hast thou offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things?
7 Sou yon gwo mòn byen wo, ou te fè kabann ou. Anplis, se la, ou te monte pou ofri sakrifis.
On a lofty and high mountain, there is thy bed, and thither thou carriedst up thy meat-offerings:
8 Dèyè pòt la ak chanbrann pòt la, ou te fè monte souvni ou; ou te ouvri ou menm a yon lòt sòf ke mwen. Konsa, ou te monte. Ou te ale fè kabann ou byen laj. Konsa ou te antann ou avèk yo. Ou te byen renmen sa ou te we sou kabann yo.
and behind the posts of thy door thou didst place thy memorials. Didst thou think that if thou shouldest depart from me, thou wouldest gain? thou hast loved those that lay with thee;
9 Ou te ale kote wa a ak lwil, e ou te ogmante pafen ou yo; ou te voye mesaje ou yo rete lwen, e te degrade ou menm jis rive nan Sejou mò yo. (Sheol h7585)
and thou hast multiplied thy whoredom with them, and thou hast increased the number of them that are far from thee, and hast sent ambassadors beyond thy borders, and hast been debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Ou te fatige akoz wout ou te long, men ou pa t di: ‘Nanpwen espwa.’ Ou te jwenn fòs renouvle. Ou pa t febli menm.
Thou has wearied thyself with thy many ways; yet thou saidst not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for thou has done these things; therefore thou has not supplicated me.
11 De kilès ou te pè e twouble a, ki fè w manti pou w pa sonje Mwen an, ni menm panse a Mwen an? Èske Mwen pa t rete an silans pou anpil tan ki fè ou pa gen lakrent Mwen an?
Through dread of whom hast thou feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yea, though when I see thee I pass thee by, yet thou has not feared me.
12 Mwen va deklare ladwati ou ak zèv ou yo, men yo p ap nan avantaj ou.
And I will declare thy righteousness, and thy sins, which shall not profit thee.
13 Lè ou vin kriye fò, kite zidòl ou yo delivre ou. Men van an va pote yo ale. Yon souf va rale yo monte. Men sila ki kache nan Mwen an va eritye peyi a. Li va posede mòn sen Mwen an.”
When thou criest out, let them deliver thee in thine affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 Li va di: “Fè l monte, fè l monte, prepare chemen an! Retire obstak la ki nan wout pèp Mwen an.”
And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.
15 Paske se konsa Sila ki wo e egzalte, Sila ki viv jis pou tout tan an, non a Li se Sila ki Sen an, pale: “Mwen rete nan kote ki wo e ki sen, anplis ak li menm ki gen kè ki pi e ki enb, pou fè leve lespri a enb yo, e fè leve kè a sila a ki plen regrè pou peche.
Thus saith the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted:
16 Mwen p ap goumen ak ou pou tout tan, ni se pa pou tout tan ke M ap fache a; paske lespri a ta vin fèb devan M, ak nanm a sila ke M te fè yo.
I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
17 Akoz inikite gwo lanvi li, Mwen te fè kòlè, e Mwen te frape li. Mwen te kache figi Mwen; Mwen te fache. Konsa li te kontinye regrese nan wout kè l te pran an.
On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and smote him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
18 Mwen te wè chemen li yo; malgre sa, M ap geri li; Mwen va mennen li e restore konsolasyon a li menm ak sila k ap lamante pou li.
I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
19 Mwen kreye fwi a lèv yo: “Lapè, lapè, pou sila ki lwen yo, ak pou sila ki pre yo,” SENYÈ a di: “Epi Mwen va geri yo.”
peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are nigh: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
20 Men mechan yo tankou lanmè k ap boulvèse. Li p ap ka kalme, e dlo yo rale fè monte fatra ak labou.
But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
21 “Nanpwen lapè” Bondye Mwen an di: “pou mechan yo”.
There is no joy to the ungodly, said God.
