Ezayi 66
1 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Syèl la se twòn Mwen e tè a se machpye M. Alò, ki kote ou ta kab bati yon kay pou Mwen? Epi ki kote pou M ta ka repoze?
Thus hath said the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is there a house that ye can build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2 Paske se men M ki te fè tout bagay sa yo; se konsa tout bagay sa yo te vin egziste,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Men, anvè sila Mwen va gade; sila ki enb ak kè ki repanti a, e ki tranble devan pawòl Mwen yo.
For all these things hath my hand made, that all these things came into being, saith the Lord; but upon such a one will I look, upon the poor, and him who is of a contrite spirit, and who trembleth at my word.
3 Men sila ki touye yon bèf la, li tankou sila ki touye yon moun nan; sila ki fè sakrifis a yon jenn mouton an, li tankou yon moun ki kase kou a yon chen; sila ki fè ofrann sereyal la, li tankou sila ki ofri san kochon an; sila ki brile lansan an, li tankou sila ki fè beni yon zidòl la. Konsi yo te chwazi pwòp chemen pa yo, e nanm yo pran gwo plezi nan abominasyon yo.
He that slaughtereth the ox, slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh the neck of a dog; he that offereth a meat-offering, [offereth] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, blesseth an idol: yea, they have made choice of their own ways, and in their abominations doth their soul delight.
4 Konsa, Mwen va deziye pinisyon yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo sa ke yo plis pè a. Paske Mwen te rele, men pèsòn pa t reponn; Mwen te pale, men yo pa t koute, men se mal yo te fè devan zye M, e yo te chwazi sa ki pa t fè M plezi.”
So will I also make choice of their misfortune, and what they dread will I bring upon them; because I called, and none did answer; I spoke, and they did not hear; and they did what is evil in my eyes, and that in which I delighted not did they choose.
5 Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm ki tranble devan pawòl Li yo: “Frè nou ki rayi nou yo, ki rejte nou akoz non Mwen, Yo te di: ‘Kite SENYÈ a resevwa glwa, pou nou ka wè nou fè kè kontan.’ Men sila yo k ap wont.
Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for the sake of my name, said, “Let the Lord be glorified;” but he will appear to your joy, and they shall be made ashamed.
6 Yon vwa gwo boulvèsman soti nan vil la, yon vwa soti nan tanp lan; vwa a SENYÈ la k ap rann rekonpans a lènmi Li yo.
[There is] a voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord who rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 “Avan fi a gen doulè, li te anfante; avan gwo doulè a te rive li, li te fè yon gason.
Before she had travailed she brought forth; before yet her pain was come, she was delivered of a man-child.
8 Se kilès ki te tande yon koze konsa a? Kilès ki te wè yon bagay konsa? Èske yon peyi kapab fèt nan yon sèl jou? Èske yon nasyon ka vin parèt nan yon enstan? La menm Sion te vin gen doulè, li te fè fis li yo vin parèt.
Who hath heard the like? who hath seen such things? shall a land be made to travail in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? that Zion hath travailed, also brought forth her children?
9 Èske Mwen va rive pre pwen akouchman an, pou mwen pa livre pitit la?” pale SENYÈ a. “Oswa èske Mwen ki fè fanm akouche a, ta fèmen vant lan?” pale Bondye nou an.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord; or shall I who cause to bring forth, now prevent it? saith thy God.
10 “Fè kè kontan ak Jérusalem, e rejwi de li, nou tout ki renmen li yo. Fè kè kontan anpil, nou tout ki te fè kè tris pou li yo,
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be delighted over her, all ye that love her; be highly glad with her, all ye that mourn for her.
11 pou nou kapab souse e jwenn satisfaksyon nan tete li, pou nou kapab souse pou jwenn plezi nan gwo lestonmak li a.”
In order that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolations; in order that ye may sip, and find pleasure from the abundance of her glory.
12 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen lonje bay fi a lapè tankou yon rivyè e glwa a nasyon yo kon yon flèv k ap debòde. Nou va vin pran tete, nou va pote sou kwis e vin jwe sou jenou.
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will extend to her peace like a river, and like a rapid stream the glory of nations, that ye may suck: upon the arm shall ye be borne, and upon knees shall ye be dandled.
13 Tankou yon timoun ki jwenn rekonfò a manman l, se konsa Mwen va rekonfòte nou; epi nan Jérusalem, nou va rekonfòte.”
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and in Jerusalem shall ye be comforted.
14 Nou va wè sa; kè nou va kontan e zo nou va fleri tankou zèb vèt tounèf. Men SENYÈ a va rekonèt pa sèvitè Li yo; men Li va fè gwo kòlè kont lènmi Li yo.
And ye shall see this, and your heart shall be glad, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and then will be known the hand of the Lord on his servants, and he will be indignant toward his enemies.
15 Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a va vini avèk dife, e cha Li yo va tankou van toubiyon. Li va rann kòlè Li ak gwo raj e repwòch Li ak flanm dife.
For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the storm-wind, to send forth his anger with fury, and his threatening with flames of fire.
16 Paske SENYÈ a va egzekite jijman ak dife e avèk nepe Li sou tout chè; e sila ki va touye pa nepe yo va anpil.
For by fire will the Lord judge, and by his sword against all flesh: and many shall be the slain of the Lord.
17 “Sila ki sanktifye e pirifye tèt pou ale nan jaden yo, k ap swiv moun mitan an, ki manje chè kochon, bagay abominab, ak sourit la, va sispann nèt”, deklare SENYÈ a.
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves for the gardens, behind one tree in the midst, they who eat the flesh of the swine, and the abomination, and the mouse, together shall they perish, saith the Lord.
18 “Paske Mwen konnen zèv yo ak panse yo. Lè a ap rive pou rasanble tout nasyon ak tout lang yo. Konsa, yo va vini wè glwa Mwen.
And I, because of their works and their thoughts, will let it come to pass to gather all the nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
19 Mwen va mete yon sign pami yo e Mwen va voye bay nasyon yo sila ki chape pami yo: Tarsis, Pul, Lud, Tubal ak Javan, nan peyi kot byen lwen ki pa t janm tande afè laglwa Mwen, ni ki pa t konn wè laglwa Mwen. Epi yo va deklare glwa Mwen pami nasyon yo.
And I will display a sign on them, and I will send from them those that escape unto the nations, Tharshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Thubal, and Javan, the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, and have not seen my glory; and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations.
20 Yo va mennen tout frè nou yo soti nan tout nasyon yo kon yon ofrann sereyal a SENYÈ a. Yo va vini sou cheval, nan cha, sou kabwèt kouvri, sou milèt ak chamo pou rive sou mòn sen Mwen an, Jérusalem”, di SENYÈ a. “Jis konsa, fis Israël yo pote ofrann sereyal nan yon veso pwòp a lakay SENYÈ a.
And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations as an offering unto the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring the offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Anplis, Mwen va pran kèk nan yo kon prèt ak Levit”, SENYÈ a di.
And of them also will I take for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22 “Paske menm jan ke syèl tounèf la ak tè tounèf ke Mwen va fè a va dire nèt devan Mwen”, deklare SENYÈ a; “se konsa desandan nou yo ak non nou va dire nèt.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall have permanence before me, saith the Lord, so shall exist permanently your seed and your name.
23 Epi li va fèt ke soti nan lalin tounèf pou rive nan lalin tounèf la, e soti nan Saba a pou rive nan Saba a, tout limanite va vin pwostène devan Mwen,” SENYÈ a di.
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to the other new moon, and from one sabbath to the other sabbath, shall all flesh come to prostrate themselves before me, saith the Lord.
24 “Yo va ale gade sou kadav a moun ki te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo. Paske vè pa yo p ap mouri e dife pa yo p ap etenn. Konsa yo va vin yon abominasyon pou tout limanite.”
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.
