Esias 57
1 See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.
Moun k'ap mache dwat yo ap fin mouri nan peyi a, sa pa fè pesonn anyen. Moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ak tout kè yo ap fin disparèt, pesonn pa wè sa. Mechanste fè moun k'ap mache dwat yo disparèt.
2 His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way.
Moun ki t'ap mache dwat yo ale kote yo jwenn kè poze, yo kouche nan tonm yo.
3 But draw you near hither, you lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot.
Nou menm ki p'ap fè anyen san konsilte zetwal, pwoche vini! Se yon bann moun ki vire do bay Bondye nou ye. N'ap sèvi zidòl, nou tankou moun k'ap fè adiltè, k'ap viv nan dezòd.
4 Wherein have you been rioting? and against whom have you opened your mouth, and against whom have you loosed your tongue? are you not children of perdition? a lawless seed?
Ki moun n'ap pase nan betiz la a? Ki moun n'ap pale mal konsa? Sou ki moun n'ap fè grimas konsa? Se yon bann moun ki pa janm kenbe pawòl yo, yon bann moun k'ap bay manti nou ye.
5 who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks?
N'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl nan jaden nou. Nou kouche ak fanm anba pye bwadchenn, anba tout raje. Nou bay timoun nou pou yo touye pou zidòl yo nan twou wòch nan bafon yo.
6 That is your portion, this is your lot: and to them have you poured forth drink-offerings, and to these have you offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things?
Nou pran kèk gwo wòch galèt nan ravin yo sèvi nou Bondye. Se yo ki tout nou. Nou fè ofrann grenn jaden ak ofrann diven pou yo vide sou yo. Nou konprann bagay konsa ka fè m' plezi!
7 On a lofty and high mountain, there is your bed, and there you carried up your meat-offerings:
Nou moute sou yon gwo mòn byen wo pou n' al kouche ak fanm, pou n' al touye bèt nou ofri bay zidòl yo.
8 and behind the posts of your door you did place your memorials. Did you think that if you should depart from me, you would gain? you have loved those that lay with you;
Nou mete wòch zidòl nou yo dèyè pòtay nou, nan papòt lakay nou. Nou vire do ban mwen, nou mete nou toutouni, nou moute sou gwo kabann byen laj nou, nou kouche ak medam, chwal zidòl yo, nou peye pou sa. Nou pran kont plezi nou ak je nou kole sou wòch zidòl yo.
9 and you have multiplied your whoredom with them, and you have increased the number of them that are far from you, and have sent ambassadors beyond your borders, and have been debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
Nou mete odè sou nou, nou pati al fè sèvis pou Molòk. Nou mete tout kalite odè sou nou. Nou voye mesaje byen lwen al chache zidòl pou nou. Nou voye yo jouk nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)
10 You has wearied yourself with your many ways; yet you said not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for you has done these things; therefore you has not supplicated me.
Nou fatige kò nou ap vwayaje, men nou pa janm kite! Nou mete nan tèt nou zidòl yo ap ban nou fòs pou nou pa janm bouke.
11 Through dread of whom have you feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yes, though when I see you I pass you by, yet you has not feared me.
Seyè a di: Kilès bondye sa yo ki t'ap ban nou kè sote, ki t'ap fè nou pè konsa, kifè ou bay tout manti sa yo? Kilès sa a ki fè nou bliye m' konsa? Nou pa chonje reve m'. Eske se paske mwen rete mwen pa di anyen kifè nou sispann gen krentif pou mwen?
12 And I will declare your righteousness, and your sins, which shall not profit you.
M'ap denonse tou sa n'ap plede fè pou sove tèt nou. Nou kwè l'ap bon pou nou, men sa p'ap sèvi nou anyen.
13 When you cry out, let them deliver you in your affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
Lè n'a rele mande sekou, se pou tout zidòl nou yo vin sove nou si yo kapab! Yon senp ti van ap pote yo ale, yon ti briz van ap pati ak yo. Men, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen va rete nan peyi a, y'a rete sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an.
14 And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di: -Pare wout la pou pèp la tounen vin jwenn mwen. Mete ranblè. Wete tout bagay k'ap bare wout la devan pèp mwen an.
15 Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted:
Se mwen menm Bondye ki anwo nèt nan syèl la, Bondye ki la pou tout tan an, Bondye ki apa nèt la. Men sa mwen di: mwen rete yon kote ki anwo nèt, yon kote ki apa pou mwen nèt. Men mwen kanpe la avèk moun ki soumèt yo devan m', avèk moun ki gen lapenn tout bon pou sa yo fè ki mal, pou m' ka remoute kouraj yo, pou m' ba yo konfyans ankò.
16 I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
Mwen pa vle nan diskit tout tan ak yo, mwen pa vle rete ankòlè tout tan pou moun mwen bay lavi yo pa pèdi kouraj.
17 On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and struck him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
Wi, mwen te fache anpil sou yo paske yo te gen move lanvi nan kè yo. Mwen te fè kòlè, mwen te pini yo, mwen te lage yo, paske yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo t'ap fè sa yo pi pito.
18 I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
Mwen te wè tou sa yo t'ap fè, men m'ap geri yo. Mwen pral pran men yo pou m' mennen yo sou bon chemen an. M'a remoute kouraj sa ki nan lapenn yo.
19 peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are near: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
M'a di yo: Kè poze pou nou tout ki lwen, kè poze pou nou tout ki pre. M'a mete lwanj nan bouch yo, m'ap ba yo tout kè poze, m'ap geri yo.
20 But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
Men, mechan yo tankou lanmè ki boulvèse. Lanm lanmè yo ap bat san rete, y'ap jete kras ak labou sou rivaj la.
21 There is no joy to the ungodly, said God.
Bondye mwen an di: Pa gen kè poze pou mechan yo.
