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 have heard those that made no supplication; I have been found by those who sought me not; I said, Here I am, here I am, To a people that called not upon 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 spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
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;
To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
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.
That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swine's flesh, And have broth of unclean things in their vessels;
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 yet say: Stand by thyself! come not near to me, For I am holier than thou! These are a smoke in my nose, A fire that burneth 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 stands recorded before me; I will not keep silence, but will requite; I will requite it into their bosoms;
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.”
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, Who burnt incense on the mountains, And dishonored me on the hills, I will pour the full recompense of their former deeds 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 saith Jehovah: As when juice is found in a cluster, Men say, “Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it”; So will I do, for the sake of my servants, and will not destroy the whole;
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.
I will cause a stem to spring forth from Jacob, And from Judah a possessor of my mountains; My chosen shall possess the land, And my servants 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 Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting-place for herds, For my people that 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 ye, who have forsaken Jehovah, And have forgotten my holy mountain, That prepare a table for Fortune, And fill the cup for Destiny,
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.”
Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no delight.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
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 sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of 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.
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, And the Lord Jehovah shall slay you; But his servants will he call by another 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.”
Whoso blesseth himself in the land Shall bless by the true God; And he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the true God; For the former troubles are forgotten, And they are hid from mine eyes.
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 behold! I create new heavens, and a new earth; The former ones shall not be remembered, Nor shall they be brought to mind any more.
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 ye shall be glad and exult forever In that which I create; For behold! I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her 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 exult in Jerusalem, And rejoice in my people; No more shall be heard therein The voice of weeping and the cry of distress.
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.
There shall not be there an infant child, nor an old man, That hath not filled the measure of his years; For he that dieth a hundred years old shall die a youth, And the sinner dying a hundred years old shall be held accursed.
21 Yo va bati kay yo pou yo viv ladann; anplis, yo va plante chan rezen yo e manje fwi yo.
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them;
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 not build, and another inhabit; They shall not plant, and another eat; For as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, Yea, long shall my chosen enjoy the work of their hands.
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.
They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for early death; For they are a race blessed by Jehovah, And their offspring shall remain to them.
24 Anplis, li va vin rive ke avan yo rele, Mwen va reponn; epi pandan yo toujou ap pale, Mwen va tande.
Before they call, I will answer; And while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
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.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the food of the serpent. They shall not hurt, nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, Saith Jehovah.
