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 Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda.
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 ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised 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 knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.
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!
Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.
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.
For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
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 unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented 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 land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.
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 Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
9 Amwenske SENYÈ dèzame yo te kite kèk grenn chape viv, nou t ap tankou Sodome, nou t ap sanble ak Gomorrhe.
Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
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 the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
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.
To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
12 Lè nou vin parèt devan M, kilès ki egzije nou vin foule lakou Mwen an konsa?
When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in 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.
Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
14 Mwen rayi fèt nouvèl lin yo ak fèt apwente nou yo. Yo vin yon gwo fado pou mwen. Mwen fatige sipòte yo.
My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome 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 you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for 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 yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
17 Aprann fè sa ki bon; chache lajistis, fè sekou oprime yo, defann òfelen yo, plede ka a vèv la.
Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend 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.
And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.
19 Si nou vin dakò e obeyi, nou va manje pi bon bagay ki gen nan peyi a;
If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
20 men si nou refize, e fè rebèl, nou va devore pa nepe.” Anverite, bouch SENYÈ a fin pale.”
But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath 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 is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
22 Ajan ou yo, koulye a vin tounen kim e bwason ou vin mele ak dlo.
Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled 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 princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow’s cometh not in 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 saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged 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 to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I 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 they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
27 Sion va rachte ak lajistis, e sila ki repanti ladann yo va plen ladwati a.
Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
28 Men transgresè ak pechè yo va kraze ansanm, e sila ki abandone SENYÈ yo va vin disparèt nèt.
And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, 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 confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
30 Paske nou va tankou yon bwadchenn ak fèy ki fennen, oswa tankou yon jaden ki pa gen dlo menm.
When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without 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 your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.
