Esias 55

1 You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.

Vini non, nou tout ki swaf dlo. Men dlo! Vini non, nou tout ki pa gen lajan, nou mèt vini. Achte manje pou nou manje. Nou pa bezwen lajan! Achte diven ak lèt pou nou bwè. Nou pa bezwen peye!

2 Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan achte manje ki pa ka fè anyen pou nou? Poukisa n'ap depanse lajan travay nou pou bagay ki pa ka plen vant nou? Si nou koute byen sa m'ap di nou la a, n'a manje sa ki bon. N'a pran plezi nou nan manje bon kalite manje.

3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

Louvri zòrèy nou. Vin jwenn mwen. Koute byen sa m'ap di nou, n'a jwenn lavi. M'ap siyen yon kontra ak nou pou tout tan. M'a ban nou benediksyon mwen te pwomèt David yo.

4 Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.

Gade. Mwen te fè l' chèf pou l' te kòmande nasyon yo. Mwen te fè l' sèvi m' temwen nan mitan yo.

5 Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.

Gade, ou pral rele nasyon ou pa t' konnen. Nasyon ki pa t' konnen ou pral kouri vin jwenn ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, Bondye apa pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap fè sa rive konsa, paske m'ap leve ou anlè.

6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,

Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, pandan nou ka jwenn li an. Lapriyè nan pye l' pandan li toupre nou an.

7 let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.

Se pou mechan yo kite move chemen y'ap swiv la. Se pou malveyan yo wete move lide k'ap travay nan tèt yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ki va gen pitye pou yo. Se pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye nou an, paske l'ap padonnen tou sa yo fè.

8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.

Lide pa m' pa menm ak lide pa nou. Chemen pa nou pa menm ak chemen pa m'. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

Menm jan syèl la byen lwen anwo latè, se konsa lide pa m' byen lwen anwo lide pa nou, chemen pa m' byen lwen chemen pa nou.

10 For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:

Gade! Lapli ak lawouze soti nan syèl la, yo pa tounen kote yo soti a san yo pa wouze latè, san yo pa fè l' donnen, san yo pa fè plant yo pouse pou bay kiltivatè yo grenn pou yo simen ak manje pou yo manje.

11 so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.

Konsa tou pou pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen: li p'ap tounen vin jwenn mwen san li pa fè sa m' te vle l' fè a, san li pa fè tou sa mwen te voye l' fè a.

12 For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

N'a kite lavil Babilòn ak kè kontan. Y'a mennen nou tounen lakay nou ak kè poze. Gwo mòn yo ak ti mòn yo va pran chante pou nou sitèlman y'a kontan. Tout pyebwa nan plenn yo va bat bravo pou nou!

13 And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

Pye pichpen va pouse kote ki te plen pikan. Pye ilan-ilan va pouse kote ki te plen chadwon. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a, yon remak k'ap la pou tout tan, yon siy pesonn p'ap ka detwi.
