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 son of Amoz, that 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, heavens, and give ear, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, but 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 feeding trough, but Israel does not know, Israel does not understand.”
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! Nation, sinners, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have estranged themselves from him.
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 are you still being beaten? Why do you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak.
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 to the head there is no part unharmed; only wounds, and bruises, and fresh open wounds; they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated 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 ruined; your cities are burned; your fields—in your presence, strangers are destroying them— abandoned devastation, 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.
The daughter of Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, like a shed in a garden of cucumbers, like 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.
If Yahweh of hosts had not left for us a small remnant, we would have been like Sodom, we would 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 Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you 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 is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats I do not delight.
12 Lè nou vin parèt devan M, kilès ki egzije nou vin foule lakou Mwen an konsa?
When you come to appear before me, who has required this of you, 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 meaningless offerings; incense is an abomination to me; your new moon and Sabbath assemblies—I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies.
14 Mwen rayi fèt nouvèl lin yo ak fèt apwente nou yo. Yo vin yon gwo fado pou mwen. Mwen fatige sipòte yo.
I hate your new moons and your appointed feasts; they are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring 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.
So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen; 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, cleanse yourselves; remove the evil of your deeds from my sight; stop being 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, make straight the oppression, give justice to 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.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh; “though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.
19 Si nou vin dakò e obeyi, nou va manje pi bon bagay ki gen nan peyi a;
If you are willing and obedient, you will 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 you refuse and rebel, the sword will devour you,” for the mouth of Yahweh 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 prostitute! She who was full of justice—she was full of righteousness, but now she is full of murderers.
22 Ajan ou yo, koulye a vin tounen kim e bwason ou vin mele ak dlo.
Your silver has become impure, your 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.
Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the widow's legal plea 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 this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Woe to them! I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against 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.
I will turn my hand against you, refine away your dross as with lye, and take away all your dross.
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.
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will 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 will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness.
28 Men transgresè ak pechè yo va kraze ansanm, e sila ki abandone SENYÈ yo va vin disparèt nèt.
Rebels and sinners will be crushed together, and those who abandon Yahweh will be done away with.
29 Anverite, nou va wont pou bwadchenn ke nou te pito yo, e nou va wont pou jaden ke nou te pito yo.
“For you will be ashamed of the sacred oak trees that you desired, and you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Paske nou va tankou yon bwadchenn ak fèy ki fennen, oswa tankou yon jaden ki pa gen dlo menm.
For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like 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.”
The strong man will be like tinder, and his work like a spark; they will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
