Esias 56
1 Thus says the Lord, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my mercy to be revealed.
Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a: -Se pou nou fè sa ki dwat. Pa fè lenjistis. Paske mwen pa lwen vin delivre nou, mwen pa lwen fè nou konnen jan m'ap pran defans nou.
2 Blessed is the man that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the sabbaths from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.
benediksyon pou moun ki fè sa m' di yo fè a epi ki toujou kenbe pawòl mwen yo fèm. benediksyon pou moun ki respekte jou repo a, pou moun ki pa mete men l' nan ankenn movezak.
3 Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from his people: and let not the eunuch say, I am a dry tree.
Yon moun lòt nasyon ki va kole kò l' ak pèp Seyè a pa fèt pou di: Seyè a p'ap kite m' fè sèvis pou li ansanm ak pèp li a. Yon moun ki chatre pa dwe janm di: Se yon vye pyebwa chèch mwen ye, mwen pa ka fè pati pèp Bondye a.
4 Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs, as many as shall keep my sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of my covenant;
Men sa Seyè a di: Lè yon moun ki chatre mete jou repo a apa pou mwen, lè li chwazi pou l' fè volonte mwen, lè li kenbe kontra mwen an fèm,
5 I will give to them in my house and within my walls an honorable place, better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.
m'ap fè yo chonje l' nan tanp mwen an ak nan mitan pèp mwen an pi lontan pase si li te gen pitit gason ak pitit fi. M'ap fè yo pa janm bliye l'.
6 And [I will give it] to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and [as for] all that keep my sabbaths from profaning [them], and that take hold of my covenant;
Tout moun lòt nasyon ki va vin kole kò yo ansanm ak pèp Seyè a pou yo sèvi l', pou yo renmen l' tankou yon sèvitè, tout moun ki mete jou repo a apa san yo pa derespekte l' epi ki kenbe kontra m' lan fèm,
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,
m'ap mennen yo sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an, m'a ba yo kè kontan nan kay kote yo fè lapriyè pou mwen an. M'a asepte tout bèt y'a ofri pou boule sou lotèl mwen ak tout lòt ofrann y'a fè pou mwen. Y'a rele kay mwen an kay kote tout pèp va vin fè lapriyè nan pye m'.
8 says the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.
Men sa Seyè a, Bondye a, di, li menm ki te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo sanble nan peyi yo a ankò: Anplis moun pèp mwen an, mwen va sanble yon bann lòt moun ankò ansanm ak yo.
9 All you beasts of the field, come, devour, all you beasts of the forest.
Seyè a rele moun lòt nasyon yo pou yo vin devore, pou yo vin manje tankou bèt mawon ki nan savann ak bèt ki nan rakbwa.
10 See how they are all blinded: they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.
Li di: -Tout chèf ki la pou avèti pèp mwen an, je yo pete. Yo pa konprann anyen. Yo tankou chen ki pa janm jape. Lespri yo byen lwen. Yo kouche tout lajounen, y'ap kabicha.
11 Yes, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].
Yo tankou chen aloufa, anyen pa janm kont yo. Se yon bann chèf san konprann. Yo tout fè sa yo pito. Se avantaj yo ase y'ap defann.
Y'ap plede di: Vini non! N'a jwenn diven. N'a pran kèk bon razad gwòg. Denmen menm, bagay la ap pi bon toujou pase jòdi a.
