< Isaiah 65 >

1 I am sought out of them that inquired not [for me], I am found of them that sought me not; I have said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
Seyè a te di: -Mwen te tou pare pou m' te reponn lapriyè pèp mwen an, menm lè yo pa t' lapriyè m'. Mwen te toupre yo, menm lè yo pa t' chache m'. Pèp la pa lapriyè nan pye m', atout mwen te toujou pare pou m' di yo: Men mwen! Men mwen!
2 I have stretched out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way not good, after their own thoughts;
Chak jou mwen t'ap lonje men m' bay yon pèp ki t'ap kenbe tèt ak mwen, ki t'ap fè sa ki mal, ki t'ap fè sa yo pito.
3 the people that provoke me to anger continually to my face, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense upon the bricks;
Nan figi m' konsa, yo t'ap plede fè bagay pou fè m' fache. Yo ofri bèt pou touye pou zidòl nan jaden yo, yo boule lansan sou lotèl zidòl yo.
4 who sit down among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things [is in] their vessels;
Lannwit, y' al nan simityè ak nan twou wòch pou fè sèvis pou mò ka di yo sa pou yo fè. Yo manje vyann kochon, yo bwè bouyon fèt ak vyann ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.
5 who say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Apre sa, yonn di lòt: Pa pwoche m'. Pa manyen m', paske yo mete m' apa pou Bondye! Non, mwen pa ka sipòte sa y'ap fè a. Sa fè m' move, kòlè mwen tankou yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
Seyè a te di: Men desizyon mwen fin pran nan kè m': Mwen p'ap bay kò m' kanpo toutotan mwen pa pini yo, toutan mwen pa regle yo
7 your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, who have burned incense upon the mountains, and outraged me upon the hills; and I will measure their former work into their bosom.
pou peche yo ak pou peche zansèt yo. Yo te boule lansan pou zidòl sou mòn yo, yo t'ap derespekte m' sou ti bit mòn yo. Se poutèt sa m'ap regle ak yo jan yo merite l' la.
8 Thus saith Jehovah: As the new wine is found in the cluster, and it is said, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it; so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy [them] all.
Men sa Seyè a te di ankò: -Pesonn pa janm voye yon bon grap rezen jete. Okontrè, li sere l' pou fè diven ak li. Konsa tou, mwen p'ap detwi tout pèp la, m'ap sove moun k'ap sèvi m' yo.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah a possessor of my mountains; and mine elect shall possess it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Nan tout fanmi Jakòb la, m'ap fè moun branch fanmi Jida yo pran mòn mwen yo pou yo. Se la moun mwen chwazi yo ak moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va rete.
10 And the Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, and the valley of Achor a couching-place of the herds, for my people that have sought me.
Plenn Sawon an pral tounen yon jaden zèb pou mouton m' yo, pou moun k'ap sèvi m' yo. Mwen pral lonje bèf mwen yo, moun ki toujou ap chache fè volonte m' yo, nan fon Akò pou yo ka manje.
11 But ye who forsake Jehovah, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and fill up mixed wine unto Meni:
Men pou nou menm ki vire do bay Seyè a, nou menm ki bliye mòn ki apa pou mwen an, epi ki al fè sèvis manje pou Gad, ki al fè ofrann bwason pou Mini,
12 I will even assign you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down in the slaughter; because I called, and ye did not answer, I spoke, and ye did not hear; but ye did what was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.
m'ap fè nou mouri nan lagè. Nou tout nou pral bese do nou pou yo koupe kou nou, paske mwen te rele nou, nou pa t' reponn. Mwen pale nou, nou pa t' koute m'. Nou fè sa ki mal devan je m', nou pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed;
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: -Moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va jwenn kont manje pou yo manje. Men nou menm n'a ret grangou. Sèvitè m' yo va jwenn kont pou yo bwè, nou menm n'ap ret swaf dlo. Sèvitè m' yo va gen kè kontan; men nou menm n'a wont.
14 behold, my servants shall sing aloud for gladness of heart, and ye shall cry out for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
Sèvitè m' yo va fè fèt tèlman y'a kontan, men nou menm n'a plenn, n'a gen kè sere, n'a rele, kè nou va kase.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto mine elect; for the Lord Jehovah will slay thee, and will call his servants by another name:
Moun mwen chwazi yo va sèvi ak non nou pou joure moun. Mwen menm Seyè a, m'a fè nou mouri. Y'a di: Se pou Seyè a touye ou tankou l' touye moun sa yo! Men, m'a bay sèvitè m' yo yon bon repitasyon.
16 so that he who blesseth himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the God of truth: because the former troubles shall be forgotten, and because they shall be hidden from mine eyes.
Tout moun nan peyi a ki bezwen benediksyon va jwenn benediksyon nan men Bondye ki toujou kenbe pawòl li a. Tout moun nan peyi a k'ap fè sèman va fè l' nan non Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li a, paske moun yo p'ap chonje tray yo te konn pase nan tan lontan yo, m'ap bliye sa.
17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Mwen pral fè yon lòt syèl ak yon lòt tè. Pesonn p'ap chonje sa ki te pase nan tan lontan. Sa p'ap janm vin nan tèt yo ankò.
18 But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Sa m' pral fè a ap bay kè kontan, moun ap fè fèt san rete. Mwen pral fè yon lòt lavil Jerizalèm kote tout moun pral fè fèt. Moun li yo pral kontan.
19 And I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and will joy in my people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Mwen menm m'ap fè fèt pou Jerizalèm, m'ap kontan pou pèp mwen an. P'ap gen kriye ankò nan lavil la! P'ap gen rele mande sekou ankò!
20 There shall be no more thenceforth an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not completed his days; for the youth shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
Timoun p'ap mouri tou piti ankò! Granmoun ap fè tout tan yo! Pi bonnè pou yo mouri se va sou santan. Moun ki va rive gen santan anvan yo mouri, y'a mouri jenn! Moun ki va mouri anvan yo rive gen santan, se moun ki va gen madichon!
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof:
Moun va bati kay pou yo rete. Y'a plante jaden rezen pou yo manje rezen.
22 they shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Yo p'ap bati kay ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou rete ladan yo. Yo p'ap plante jaden ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou manje l'. Pèp mwen an ap viv rive gen menm laj ak pyebwa. Pèp mwen chwazi a va jwi travay yo fè ak men yo kont kò yo.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.
Yo p'ap kraze kò yo travay pou bontan ankò! Travay yo va rapòte yo! Pitit yo p'ap konn sa ki rele malè ankò! M'ap beni yo ansanm ak pitit yo jouk sa kaba.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Anvan menm yo fin lapriyè, m'ap gen tan reponn yo. Anvan menm yo fèmen bouch yo, m'ap gen tan ba yo sa yo mande a.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah.
Chen mawon ak mouton pral manje ansanm. Lyon pral manje zèb menm jan ak bèf. Sèpan p'ap yon danje ankò pou pesonn. Sou tout mòn ki apa pou mwen an, p'ap gen mechanste, p'ap gen rayisab ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
