Isaiah 5
1 I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful hill.
Mwen pral chante yon chante pou nou, yon chante sou zanmi m' ak jaden rezen l' lan. Zanmi m' lan te gen yon jaden rezen, sou tèt yon ti mòn ki te gen yon bon venn tè.
2 And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.
Li bat tout tè a, li wete tout wòch ladan l'. Li plante pi bon kalite pye rezen ladan l'. Apre sa, li bati yon ti kay tou won nan mitan jaden an pou veye l'. Li fè yon basen pou kraze rezen yo. Li te kwè jaden an tapral ba li bon rezen. Men, se vye rezen si ase li bay.
3 And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Lè sa a, zanmi mwen an di: -Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun peyi Jida yo, nou pral di m' kilès nan nou de a, jaden rezen an ak mwen menm, ki antò.
4 What was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? —
Kisa pou m' te fè pou jaden rezen an mwen pa t' fè? Mwen t'ap tann li ban m' bon jan rezen. Poukisa se bann vye rezen si sa yo li donnen?
5 And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;
Enben! M'ap fè nou konnen sa mapral fè jaden rezen mwen an. Mwen pral kraze tout lantiray li a pou bèt antre vin manje l', pou yo kraze l' anba pye yo.
6 and I will make it a waste — it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
M'ap fè l' tounen yon jaden yo piye. Yo p'ap netwaye branch li yo, yo p'ap sekle l' ankò. Zèb pikan ak raje ap fin anvayi l'. Mwen p'ap kite lapli tonbe sou li.
7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.
Pèp Izrayèl la, se li ki jaden rezen Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Moun peyi Jida yo, se yo ki bon plan li te plante a. Li t'ap tann yo mache dwat: Yo lage kò yo nan fè lenjistis. Li t'ap tann yo fè sa ki dwat devan je l', men, nan tout peyi a, se rèl malere ase ou tande.
8 Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!
Madichon pou moun k'ap bati kay sou kay, pou moun k'ap achte tè pou mete sou sa yo genyen deja! Talè konsa, p'ap gen plas pou lòt moun nan peyi a. Yo vle se yo menm ase ki pou rete nan peyi a.
9 In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
Men sèman mwen tande Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, fè: Tout kay sa yo gen pou yo tounen mazi. Yo te mèt bèl kou yo bèl, yo te mèt gwo kou yo gwo, p'ap gen moun pou rete ladan yo.
10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
Jaden rezen ki sou dis kawo tè ap bay yon sèl barik diven. Pou chak dis mamit grenn yo plante, y'a rekòlte yon sèl mamit.
11 Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
Madichon pou moun k'ap leve granmaten pou yo ale chache gwòg pou yo bwè, pou moun k'ap rete byen ta lannwit pou bwè diven jouk yo sou!
12 And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.
Lè y'ap fè fèt, se pou gen gita ak bandjo, tanbou ak fif ak barik plen diven. Men, yo pa chache konprann sa Seyè a ap fè, yo pa wè travay l'ap fè a.
13 Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
Pèp la pa konn anyen menm. Se poutèt sa y'ap fè yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Grannèg yo pral mouri grangou. Pèp la menm ap mouri swaf dlo.
14 Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her. (Sheol h7585)
Peyi kote mò yo ye a ap tann yo konsa. L'ap louvri pòtay li yo byen gran pou l' resevwa yo. Se la tout grannèg yo pral desann ansanm ak pèp la k'ap fè bri ak kè kontan. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;
Yo pral trennen tout moun nan labou. Yo pral fè yo wont. Tout moun ki t'ap gonfle lestonmak yo pral bese je yo atè.
16 and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed in righteousness.
Men, Seyè a pral moutre jan li gen pouvwa lè l'a fè sa li gen pou l' fè a. Li pral fè wè jan li se Bondye tout bon ki apa a lè l'a jije pèp li a.
17 And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
Toupatou, nan lavil yo, mouton yo ap mache manje zèb tankou nan savann. P'ap gen pak ankò pou angrese bèt. Tout bèt ap lage. Y'ap mache manje toupatou nan lavil la.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!
Madichon pou nou! Nou sitèlman renmen mechanste n'ap fè a, n'ap trennen l' dèyè nou kote nou pase. Peche nou yo te mèt gwo, n'ap rale yo dèyè nou tankou bèt k'ap rale kabwèt!
19 who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
Y'ap plede di: Se pou Bondye fè vit! Se pou li prese fè sa l'ap fè a pou nou ka wè l'. Se pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa prese fè travay li vle fè a, pou nou ka wè sa li gen nan tèt li.
20 Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Madichon pou moun ki vle fè byen pase pou mal, mal pase pou byen, pou moun k'ap di fènwa se limyè, limyè se fènwa, pou moun k'ap di bagay anmè dous, bagay dous anmè!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
Madichon pou moun ki konprann yo gen konesans, pou moun ki mete nan tèt yo yo gen lespri!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
Madichon pou nou! Lè se boutèy diven pou nou desann, nou pa manke kouraj! Lè se gwòg pike pou nou konpoze, nou pa manke vanyan gason!
23 who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
Men, nou lage moun ki koupab yo pou lajan. Nou pa kite moun k'ap mache dwat yo jwenn jistis.
24 Therefore as a tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Se sa ki fè y'ap disparèt nou sou tè a tankou pay ak zèb chèch ki boule nan dife. Rasin yo ap pouri anba tè. Van ap pran flè yo, l'ap bwote yo ale tankou pousyè, paske yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te ba yo. Yo te meprize kòmandman Bondye pèp Izrayèl la te bay.
25 Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
Se sa ki fè tou, Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp li a. Li te leve men l' sou yo, li frape yo. Lè sa a, mòn yo tranble. Kadav moun mouri yo ap trennen nan mitan lari tankou fatra. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin ak yo.
26 And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
Seyè a leve drapo l' pou l' bay siyal la. L'ap rele yon pèp ki byen lwen. L'ap soufle byen fò, l'ap rele moun soti jouk lòt bò nèt, nan dènye bout latè. Gade! Y'ap vole konsa, y'ap kouri vini!
27 None among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals broken;
Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki bouke! Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki fè bitay! Yo pa konn sa ki rele kabicha, ale wè dòmi! Ren yo toujou mare. Sapat yo toujou mare byen sere nan pye yo.
28 their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind.
Pwent flèch yo taye byen fen. Banza yo tou pare pou tire. Pye chwal yo di kou wòch. Kabwèt yo woule vit tankou van siklòn.
29 Their roaring is like a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;
Sòlda yo gwonde tankou fenmèl lyon. Yo rele tankou yon bann ti lyon. Yo gwonde, yo tonbe sou bèt yo pran an, yo pote l' ale. Pa gen moun ki pou rache l' soti nan bouch yo!
30 and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
Jou sa a, y'ap gwonde sou pèp Izrayèl la. Y'ap fè bri tankou lanmè lè li move. Voye je, gade peyi a! Se renk fènwa ak tray pou tout moun. Nwaj nwa bouche toupatou nan syèl la!
