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.
A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah.
2 Koute O syèl yo e tande O latè; paske SENYÈ a pale: “Fis Mwen leve yo, men yo fè rebèl kont Mwen.
Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue 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 oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand.
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, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde.
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.
Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie.
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 foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.
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 waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of 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 shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie.
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 hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah.
10 Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm, chèf Sodome yo; bay zòrèy nou enstriksyon Bondye nou a, nou menm pèp Gomorrhe.
Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah.
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 haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates.
12 Lè nou vin parèt devan M, kilès ki egzije nou vin foule lakou Mwen an konsa?
When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread 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.
Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies.
14 Mwen rayi fèt nouvèl lin yo ak fèt apwente nou yo. Yo vin yon gwo fado pou mwen. Mwen fatige sipòte yo.
My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare 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 shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: 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 you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill.
17 Aprann fè sa ki bon; chache lajistis, fè sekou oprime yo, defann òfelen yo, plede ka a vèv la.
Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe.
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 nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll.
19 Si nou vin dakò e obeyi, nou va manje pi bon bagay ki gen nan peyi a;
If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate 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 ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for 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.
Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.
22 Ajan ou yo, koulye a vin tounen kim e bwason ou vin mele ak dlo.
Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt 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 rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before 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 sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine 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.
Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.
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 iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie.
27 Sion va rachte ak lajistis, e sila ki repanti ladann yo va plen ladwati a.
Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice.
28 Men transgresè ak pechè yo va kraze ansanm, e sila ki abandone SENYÈ yo va vin disparèt nèt.
And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe 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 shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen.
30 Paske nou va tankou yon bwadchenn ak fèy ki fennen, oswa tankou yon jaden ki pa gen dlo menm.
For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath 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 shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.
