Ezayi 1
1 Vizyon Ésaïe a, fis Amots la, konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem, ke li te wè pandan tan pouvwa a Ozias, Jotham, Achaz ak Ézéchias, wa Juda yo.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Koute O syèl yo e tande O latè; paske SENYÈ a pale: “Fis Mwen leve yo, men yo fè rebèl kont Mwen.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Jehovah has spoken. I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Yon bèf konnen mèt li e yon bourik manjwa a mèt li, men Israël pa konsa. Pèp Mwen an pa reflechi.”
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know; my people does not consider.
4 Elas, yon nasyon plen peche, yon pèp peze avèk inikite, ras malfektè, fis ki fè zak konwonpi! Yo te abandone SENYÈ a; yo te meprize Sila Ki Sen Israël la. Yo te vire kite Li nèt!
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Jehovah. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They have gone away backward.
5 Se ki bo nou va pran so ankò? Poukisa nou mache fè rebèl san rete? Tout tèt la malad e tout kè a fèb.
Why will ye still be stricken, that ye revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Depi nan pla pye jis rive nan tèt, nanpwen anyen ak sante ladann, sèlman kote ki brize, ak maleng ak blese. Yo pa pran swen, ni panse, ni soulaje l ak lwil.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
7 Peyi nou an vin devaste, vil nou yo brile ak dife. Chan nou yo——se etranje k ap devore yo nan prezans nou; se dezolasyon nèt, pandan etranje yo ap ranvèse li.
Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Fi Sion an vin tankou yon ti tonèl nan yon chan rezen, tankou abri a yon gadyen nan yon chan konkonb, tankou yon vil ki anba syèj.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Amwenske SENYÈ dèzame yo te kite kèk grenn chape viv, nou t ap tankou Sodome, nou t ap sanble ak Gomorrhe.
Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
10 Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm, chèf Sodome yo; bay zòrèy nou enstriksyon Bondye nou a, nou menm pèp Gomorrhe.
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 “Ki sa gran fòs kantite sakrifis sa yo ye k ap ogmante pou Mwen?” di SENYÈ a. Mwen fin resevwa kont ofrann brile a belye ak grès a bèf gra yo. Mwen pa pran plezi nan san towo yo, jenn mouton, ni kabrit.
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats.
12 Lè nou vin parèt devan M, kilès ki egzije nou vin foule lakou Mwen an konsa?
When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts?
13 Pa vin pote ofrann san valè sa yo ankò; lansan vin abominab devan M. Nouvèl lin ak Saba a, apèl asanble yo— Mwen pa ka sipòte inikite ansanm ak asanble solanèl la.
Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14 Mwen rayi fèt nouvèl lin yo ak fèt apwente nou yo. Yo vin yon gwo fado pou mwen. Mwen fatige sipòte yo.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 Pou sa, lè nou ouvri men nou nan lapriyè, Mwen va kache zye M de nou menm. Wi, menm si nou ogmante lapriyè nou yo, Mwen p ap koute yo. Men nou kouvri ak san.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16 Lave nou pou nou vin pwòp; retire zak malonèt nou yo devan zye M. Sispann fè mechanste.
Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Aprann fè sa ki bon; chache lajistis, fè sekou oprime yo, defann òfelen yo, plede ka a vèv la.
Learn to do good. Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 “Alò, vini koulye a; annou rezone ansanm, di SENYÈ a: “Malgre peche nou yo wouj, yo va vin blan tankou lanèj; malgre yo fonse tankou kramwazi, y ap vin tankou len.
Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Si nou vin dakò e obeyi, nou va manje pi bon bagay ki gen nan peyi a;
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
20 men si nou refize, e fè rebèl, nou va devore pa nepe.” Anverite, bouch SENYÈ a fin pale.”
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
21 Gade vil fidèl la vin devni yon pwostitiye! Sila ki te konn plen ak jistis la! Nan yon lè, ladwati te rete nan li, men koulye a, se asasen yo ye.
How the faithful city has become a harlot! She who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22 Ajan ou yo, koulye a vin tounen kim e bwason ou vin mele ak dlo.
Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
23 Chèf ou yo se rebèl yo ye k ap fè zanmi parèy ak volè. Se yo tout ki renmen resevwa anba tab ak kouri dèyè benifis. Yo pa defann òfelen an, ni ka a vèv la pa rive devan yo.
Thy rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They judge not the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Pou sa, Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, Toupwisan Israël la, deklare: “Ah, M ap jwenn soulajman de advèsè Mwen yo; M ap pran vanjans mwen sou lènmi Mwen yo.
Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies.
25 Mwen va vire men m kont nou e Mwen va fonn kim nou an tankou se ak likid lesiv, pou l pa gen metal ki rete.
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.
26 Mwen va restore jij nou yo tankou nan kòmansman an ak konseye yo jan lè nou te fenk kòmanse a. Apre sa, yo va rele nou vil ladwati, yon vil ki fidèl.
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.
27 Sion va rachte ak lajistis, e sila ki repanti ladann yo va plen ladwati a.
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Men transgresè ak pechè yo va kraze ansanm, e sila ki abandone SENYÈ yo va vin disparèt nèt.
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 Anverite, nou va wont pou bwadchenn ke nou te pito yo, e nou va wont pou jaden ke nou te pito yo.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 Paske nou va tankou yon bwadchenn ak fèy ki fennen, oswa tankou yon jaden ki pa gen dlo menm.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 Sila ki pwisan an va devni retay pishpèn. Zèv li yo anplis va tankou etensèl dife. Konsa, y ap brile ansanm e p ap gen moun ki pou fè yo etenn.”
And the strong man shall be as flax, and his work as a spark. And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
