Ezayi 58
1 “Kriye fò, ni pa rete! Leve vwa ou tankou yon twonpèt! Deklare a pèp Mwen transgresyon yo, e a lakay Jacob la, peche yo.
“Cry aloud! Do not spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Malgre yo chache Mwen de jou an jou e te fè gwo lanvi pou konnen chemen Mwen yo, konsi se yon nasyon ki fè ladwati, e ki pa t abandone règleman a Bondye yo. Yo mande Mwen pou fè desizyon ki jis. Yo pran plezi nan pwoksimite Bondye a.
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.
3 ‘Poukisa nou fè jèn e Ou pa wè? Èske nou imilye nou e Ou pa wè?’ “Gade byen, nan jou jèn lan, ou satisfè tout dezi nou yo e nou kòmande byen di tout ouvriye nou yo.
‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you do not notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.
4 Gade byen, nou fè jèn pou konfli ak kont; pou nou frape ak ponyèt mechan an. Kalite jèn nou fè la jodi a pa p fè vwa ou tande anwo a.
Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You do not fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Èske se jèn sa a ki fè kè M kontan? Yon jou pou yon nonm ta imilye li menm? Pou bese tèt li kon wozo, e gaye twal sak ak sann kon kabann anba l? Èske se yon jèn ke ou rele sa; menm yon jou k ap akseptab a SENYÈ a?
Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 “Se pa jèn sila a ke M pito; pou lache lyann mechanste yo, pou demare kòd jouk la, pou lese oprime yo pran libète e kase tout jouk yo?
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 Èske se pa pou divize pen ou ak moun grangou yo, e mennen endijan yo antre nan kay? Lè ou wè toutouni an, pou kouvri l; epi pou ou pa kache tèt ou de pwòp chè ou?
Is not it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Konsa, limyè ou va pete kon granmmaten, e gerizon ou va vòltije vit devan ou. Ladwati ou va ale devan ou, e laglwa SENYÈ a va fè gad ou an aryè.
Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
9 Nan lè sa a, ou va rele, e SENYÈ a va reponn. Ou va kriye e Li va di: ‘Men Mwen isit la’. “Si ou retire jouk la nan mitan nou, sispann pwente dwat sou lòt e sispann pale mechanste;
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
10 si ou vide nanm ou a sila ki grangou, e satisfè dezi a aflije a; nan lè sa a, limyè ou va leve nan fènwa, e tristès ou va klere kon gran lajounen.
and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
11 Epi SENYÈ a va gide ou tout tan, satisfè dezi ou yo kote ki sèch yo, e bay fòs a zo ou yo. Konsa, ou va kon yon jaden byen awoze e tankou yon sous dlo ki p ap janm seche.
and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
12 Sila ki pami ou yo va rebati ansyen mazi yo. Ou va fè releve ansyen fondasyon yo. Konsa yo va rele ou Sila Ki Te Repare Brèch la, Sila Ki Te Restore Lari Yo Ak Kay Yo.
Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
13 “Si, nan Saba a, ou vire pye ou, pou sispann fè pwòp plezi pa ou nan jou sen Mwen an, e rele Saba a yon gwo plezi, epi jou sen a SENYÈ onorab, e bay li onè, olye chache chemen pa ou, olye pwòp plezi pa ou, ak pale pwòp pawòl pa w,
“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
14 konsa ou va pran plezi nan SENYÈ a, e Mwen va fè ou monte sou wotè latè yo. Mwen va bay ou manje, e Mwen va ba ou eritaj a Jacob, papa ou a, paske bouch SENYÈ a pale sa a.”
then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.
