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.
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
2 Li antre nan lapè. Chak antre nan pwòp kabann pa l; tout sila ki te mache dwat nan chemen li yo.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
3 “Men vini isit la, nou menm fis a yon manbo, desandan a yon fanm adiltè ak yon pwostitiye.
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the lewd.
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?
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] thrust out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
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?
Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of 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?
Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat-offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Sou yon gwo mòn byen wo, ou te fè kabann ou. Anplis, se la, ou te monte pou ofri sakrifis.
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither thou wentest up to offer sacrifice.
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.
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast uncovered [thyself to another] than me, and hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
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 wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself 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 art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thy hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
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?
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12 Mwen va deklare ladwati ou ak zèv ou yo, men yo p ap nan avantaj ou.
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they 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, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that putteth his trust in 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 shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block 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.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
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.
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
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 will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
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.”
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
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 wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 “Nanpwen lapè” Bondye Mwen an di: “pou mechan yo”.
[There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
