Ezayi 65
1 “Mwen te chache pa sila ki pa t mande pou Mwen yo; Mwen te twouve pa sila ki pa t chache M. Mwen te di: “Men Mwen isit la! Men Mwen isit la!’ a yon nasyon ki pa t rele non Mwen.
I became manifest to them that asked not for me; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold, I am [here], to a nation, who called not on my name.
2 Mwen te louvri men M tout lajounen a yon pèp rebèl, ki mache nan chemen ki pa bon, k ap swiv pwòp panse pa yo,
I have stretched forth my hands all day to a disobedient and gainsaying people, to them that walked in a way that was not good, but after their sins.
3 Yon pèp ki pwovoke M tout tan nan figi M, k ap ofri sakrifis nan jaden yo e k ap brile lansan sou brik yo;
This is the people that provokes me continually in my presence; they offer sacrifices in gardens, and burn incense on bricks to devils, which exist not.
4 ki chita nan mitan tonm yo e ki pase nwit lan kote kache yo; ki manje chè kochon, ak soup fèt ak sa ki pa pwòp.
They lie down to sleep in the tombs and in the caves for the sake of dreams, [even] they that eat swine's flesh, and the broth of [their] sacrifices: all their vessels are defiled:
5 Ki di: ‘Rete la, ou menm, pa pwoche mwen; mwen pi sen pase ou’! Sila yo se lafimen nan nen Mwen, yon dife ki brile tout lajounen.
who say, Depart from me, draw not near to me, for I am pure. This is the smoke of my wrath, a fire burns with it continually.
6 “Gade byen, li ekri devan Mwen: Mwen p ap rete an silans, men Mwen va bay rekonpans; Mwen va rekonpanse jis rive nan lestonmak yo,
Behold, it is written before me: I will not be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom,
7 ni pou pwòp inikite pa yo ak inikite a zansèt yo ansanm”, pale SENYÈ a. “Akoz yo te brile lansan sou mòn yo e te moke M sou kolin yo; pou sa, Mwen va mezire zèv yo te fè, jis rive nan lestonmak yo.”
their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, says the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.
8 Konsa pale SENYÈ a; “Menm jan divin tounèf twouve nan yon grap rezen, e yon moun di, ‘pa detwi l, paske gen benefis ladann’: konsa Mwen va aji pou sèvitè ki pou Mwen yo, pou M pa detwi yo tout.
Thus says the Lord, As a grape-stone shall be found in the cluster, and they shall say, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for the sake of him that serves me, for his sake I will not destroy [them] all.
9 Mwen va mennen fè sòti zanfan Jacob yo e yon eritye mòn Mwen yo kap soti nan Juda. Menm chwazi pa M yo va eritye l e sèvitè Mwen yo va demere la.
And I will lead forth the seed [that came] of Jacob and of Juda, and they shall inherit my holy mountain: and mine elect and my servants shall inherit it, and shall dwell there.
10 Saron va yon peyi ki fè patiraj pou bann mouton yo, e vale Acor yon kote pou twoupo yo ka repoze, pou pèp Mwen ki chache Mwen an.
And there shall be in the forest folds of flocks, and the valley of Achor [shall] be for a resting-place of herds for my people, who have sought me.
11 “Men nou menm ki abandone SENYÈ a, ki bliye mòn sen Mwen an, ki ranje yon tab pou Gran Chans, ki plen tas ak diven mele pou Desten an;
But you are they that have left me, and forget my holy mountain, and prepare a table for the devil, and fill up the drink-offering to Fortune.
12 Mwen va ranje desten nou ak nepe, e nou tout va bese devan masak la. Akoz Mwen te rele nou, men nou pa t reponn; Mwen te pale, men nou pa t tande. Epi nou te fè mal devan zye M, e te chwazi sa ki pa t fè m plezi.”
I will deliver you up to the sword, you shall all fall by slaughter: for I called you, and you listened not; I spoke, and you refused to hear; and you did evil in my sight, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
13 Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va manje, men nou va rete grangou. Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va bwè, men nou va rete swaf. Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va rejwi, men nou va twouve gwo wont.
Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall hunger: behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed:
14 Gade byen, sèvitè Mwen yo va rele ak jwa ak kè kontan, men nou va kriye fò ak yon kè plen doulè, e nou va rele anmwey ak yon lespri ki kraze nèt.
behold, my servants shall exult with joy, but you shall cry for the sorrow of your heart, and shall howl for the vexation of your spirit.
15 Ou va kite non nou kon yon malediksyon a moun chwazi pa Mwen yo, e Senyè BONDYE a va touye nou. Li va rele sèvitè Li yo pa yon lòt non.
For you shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new name,
16 Paske sila ki beni sou tè a, va beni pa Bondye verite a; epi sila ki sèmante nan tout tè a, va sèmante pa Bondye verite a; paske ansyen twoub yo fin bliye e paske yo kache devan zye M.”
which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, it shall not come into their mind.
17 Paske gade byen, Mwen va kreye yon syèl tounèf, ak yon tè tounèf; epi ansyen bagay yo p ap sonje ankò, ni p ap menm antre nan panse.
For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.
18 Men fè kè kontan e rejwi nou jis pou tout tan nan sa ke M kreye yo; paske gade byen, Mwen kreye Jérusalem pou rejwisans, e pèp li a pou kè kontan.
But they shall find in her joy and exultation; for, behold, I make Jerusalem a rejoicing, and my people a joy.
19 Anplis, Mwen va rejwi de Jérusalem. Mwen va fè kè kontan nan pèp Mwen an. Epi p ap tande ankò nan li vwa kriye ak son moun k ap kriye.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and will be glad in my people: and there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping, or the voice of crying.
20 “P ap genyen ladann ankò timoun ki viv sèlman kèk jou, ni granmoun ki pa fin fè tout jou li yo; paske jenn yo va mouri nan laj santan e sila ki pa rive nan laj santan yo va konsidere kon moun modi.
Neither shall there be there any more a [child that dies] untimely, or an old man who shall not complete his time: for the youth shall be a hundred years [old], and the sinner who dies at a hundred years shall also be accursed:
21 Yo va bati kay yo pou yo viv ladann; anplis, yo va plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi yo.
and they shall build houses, and themselves shall dwell in [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and themselves shall eat the fruit thereof.
22 Yo p ap bati kay pou yon lòt moun rete ladann, yo p ap plante pou yon lòt moun vin manje. Paske kon lavi a yon pyebwa, se konsa jou a pèp Mwen an va ye, e moun chwazi pa M yo va gen tan rejwi nan pwòp zèv men yo.
They shall by no means build, and others inhabit; and they shall by no means plant, and others eat: for as the days of the tree of life shall be the days of my people, they shall long enjoy the fruits of their labors.
23 Yo p ap travay an ven, ni fè pitit pou mizè; paske yo se desandan a sila ki beni pa SENYÈ a, e anplis, desandan yo, menm jan.
My chosen shall not toil in vain, neither shall they beget children to be cursed; for they are a seed blessed of God, and their offspring with them.
24 Anplis, li va vin rive ke avan yo rele, Mwen va reponn; epi pandan yo toujou ap pale, Mwen va tande.
And it shall come to pass, [that] before they call, I will listen to them; while they are yet speaking, I will say, What is it?
25 Lou ak ti mouton va manje ansanm. Lyon an va manje pay kon bèf. Men pousyè va sèvi kon manje pou sèpan an. Yo p ap fè mal ni donmaj nan tout mòn sen Mwen an,” di SENYÈ a.
Then wolves and lambs shall feed together, and the lion shall eat chaff like the ox, and the serpent earth as bread. They shall not injure nor destroy in my holy mountain, says the Lord.
