Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Syèl la se twòn Mwen e tè a se machpye M. Alò, ki kote ou ta kab bati yon kay pou Mwen? Epi ki kote pou M ta ka repoze?
2 For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Paske se men M ki te fè tout bagay sa yo; se konsa tout bagay sa yo te vin egziste,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Men, anvè sila Mwen va gade; sila ki enb ak kè ki repanti a, e ki tranble devan pawòl Mwen yo.
3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
Men sila ki touye yon bèf la, li tankou sila ki touye yon moun nan; sila ki fè sakrifis a yon jenn mouton an, li tankou yon moun ki kase kou a yon chen; sila ki fè ofrann sereyal la, li tankou sila ki ofri san kochon an; sila ki brile lansan an, li tankou sila ki fè beni yon zidòl la. Konsi yo te chwazi pwòp chemen pa yo, e nanm yo pran gwo plezi nan abominasyon yo.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
Konsa, Mwen va deziye pinisyon yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo sa ke yo plis pè a. Paske Mwen te rele, men pèsòn pa t reponn; Mwen te pale, men yo pa t koute, men se mal yo te fè devan zye M, e yo te chwazi sa ki pa t fè M plezi.”
5 Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, nou menm ki tranble devan pawòl Li yo: “Frè nou ki rayi nou yo, ki rejte nou akoz non Mwen, Yo te di: ‘Kite SENYÈ a resevwa glwa, pou nou ka wè nou fè kè kontan.’ Men sila yo k ap wont.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve.
Yon vwa gwo boulvèsman soti nan vil la, yon vwa soti nan tanp lan; vwa a SENYÈ la k ap rann rekonpans a lènmi Li yo.
7 “Before she travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
“Avan fi a gen doulè, li te anfante; avan gwo doulè a te rive li, li te fè yon gason.
8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.
Se kilès ki te tande yon koze konsa a? Kilès ki te wè yon bagay konsa? Èske yon peyi kapab fèt nan yon sèl jou? Èske yon nasyon ka vin parèt nan yon enstan? La menm Sion te vin gen doulè, li te fè fis li yo vin parèt.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
Èske Mwen va rive pre pwen akouchman an, pou mwen pa livre pitit la?” pale SENYÈ a. “Oswa èske Mwen ki fè fanm akouche a, ta fèmen vant lan?” pale Bondye nou an.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
“Fè kè kontan ak Jérusalem, e rejwi de li, nou tout ki renmen li yo. Fè kè kontan anpil, nou tout ki te fè kè tris pou li yo,
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
pou nou kapab souse e jwenn satisfaksyon nan tete li, pou nou kapab souse pou jwenn plezi nan gwo lestonmak li a.”
12 For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen lonje bay fi a lapè tankou yon rivyè e glwa a nasyon yo kon yon flèv k ap debòde. Nou va vin pran tete, nou va pote sou kwis e vin jwe sou jenou.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
Tankou yon timoun ki jwenn rekonfò a manman l, se konsa Mwen va rekonfòte nou; epi nan Jérusalem, nou va rekonfòte.”
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
Nou va wè sa; kè nou va kontan e zo nou va fleri tankou zèb vèt tounèf. Men SENYÈ a va rekonèt pa sèvitè Li yo; men Li va fè gwo kòlè kont lènmi Li yo.
15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a va vini avèk dife, e cha Li yo va tankou van toubiyon. Li va rann kòlè Li ak gwo raj e repwòch Li ak flanm dife.
16 For Yahweh will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by Yahweh will be many.
Paske SENYÈ a va egzekite jijman ak dife e avèk nepe Li sou tout chè; e sila ki va touye pa nepe yo va anpil.
17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
“Sila ki sanktifye e pirifye tèt pou ale nan jaden yo, k ap swiv moun mitan an, ki manje chè kochon, bagay abominab, ak sourit la, va sispann nèt”, deklare SENYÈ a.
18 “For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will see my glory.
“Paske Mwen konnen zèv yo ak panse yo. Lè a ap rive pou rasanble tout nasyon ak tout lang yo. Konsa, yo va vini wè glwa Mwen.
19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Mwen va mete yon sign pami yo e Mwen va voye bay nasyon yo sila ki chape pami yo: Tarsis, Pul, Lud, Tubal ak Javan, nan peyi kot byen lwen ki pa t janm tande afè laglwa Mwen, ni ki pa t konn wè laglwa Mwen. Epi yo va deklare glwa Mwen pami nasyon yo.
20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house.
Yo va mennen tout frè nou yo soti nan tout nasyon yo kon yon ofrann sereyal a SENYÈ a. Yo va vini sou cheval, nan cha, sou kabwèt kouvri, sou milèt ak chamo pou rive sou mòn sen Mwen an, Jérusalem”, di SENYÈ a. “Jis konsa, fis Israël yo pote ofrann sereyal nan yon veso pwòp a lakay SENYÈ a.
21 Of them I will also select priests and Levites,” says Yahweh.
Anplis, Mwen va pran kèk nan yo kon prèt ak Levit”, SENYÈ a di.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.
“Paske menm jan ke syèl tounèf la ak tè tounèf ke Mwen va fè a va dire nèt devan Mwen”, deklare SENYÈ a; “se konsa desandan nou yo ak non nou va dire nèt.
23 It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
Epi li va fèt ke soti nan lalin tounèf pou rive nan lalin tounèf la, e soti nan Saba a pou rive nan Saba a, tout limanite va vin pwostène devan Mwen,” SENYÈ a di.
24 “They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
“Yo va ale gade sou kadav a moun ki te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo. Paske vè pa yo p ap mouri e dife pa yo p ap etenn. Konsa yo va vin yon abominasyon pou tout limanite.”
