Isaiah 1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Men vizyon sou peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm Bondye te fè Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, wè sou rèy wa Ozyas, wa Jotam, wa Akaz ak wa Ezekyas nan peyi Jida a.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Seyè a di konsa: -Ou menm syèl la, koute! Ou menm latè, pare zòrèy ou! Paske mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral pale! Pitit mwen te okipe yo, pitit mwen te elve yo, men yo vire do ban mwen.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Bèf ki bèf konnen mèt li. Bourik ki bourik konnen kote mèt li ba l' manje. Men, pèp Izrayèl la menm pa konn bagay konsa. Pèp mwen an pa konprann anyen.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Malè pou peyi nou an, kote tout moun ap viv nan peche! Malè pou pèp ki plen krim sou konsyans yo, pou ras moun sa yo k'ap fè sa ki mal, pou bann pitit sa yo ki fin pèvèti! Yo lage pye Bondye Seyè a! Yo pa okipe Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa. Yo vire do ba li.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Poukisa n'ap plede fè tèt di konsa? Pa gen kote ankò pou yo frape nou. Tout tèt la malad. Pa gen kò ankò pou sipòte.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Depi nan po tèt nou rive anba pla pye nou, nanpwen kote nan kò nou ki pa malad. Se blese, se foule, se san k'ap koule. Yo pa netwaye yo, yo pa mare anyen sou yo, yo pa mete medikaman sou yo pou kalme doulè yo.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Peyi nou an fini. Dife fin boule tout lavil nou yo ratè. Moun lòt nasyon yo piye tout jaden nou yo, l'a devan je nou. Yo fini ak tout bagay nan peyi a nèt. Yon sèl lafliksyon tonbe sou nou, tankou lè lènmi pase nan peyi a.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Lavil Jerizalèm rete pou kont li sou do mòn Siyon an, tankou yon ti joupa, tankou yon ti tonèl nan mitan jaden. Lènmi sènen l' toupatou.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Si Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pa t' kite kèk moun nan nou chape, lavil la t'ap disparèt nèt tankou sa ki te rive lavil Sodòm ak lavil Gomò a.

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

Lavil Jerizalèm sa a! Chèf li yo tankou chèf lavil Sodòm. Moun li yo tankou moun lavil Gomò. Nou tout ki la a, koute sa Seyè a ap di chèf lavil yo. Pare zòrèy nou pou nou tande lòd Bondye nou an ap bay moun Jerizalèm yo.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

Li di yo: Sa pou m' fè ak pakèt bèt n'ap plede ofri pou touye pou mwen yo? Mwen bouke ak belye mouton n'ap boule sou lotèl la, ak grès towo n'ap ofri ban mwen yo. Kanta pou san bèf, san mouton ak san kabrit yo menm, mwen pa bezwen sa.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Lè n'ap vin fè sèvis pou mwen, ki moun ki mande nou pou nou fè tout ale vini sa yo nan lakou tanp mwen an?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Nou mèt sispann fè bann ofrann sa yo ki p'ap sèvi nou anyen. Mwen pa ka sipòte lafimen lansan n'ap ofri m' lan. Mwen pa vle wè fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo, jou repo nou yo ak tout lòt reyinyon n'ap fè yo. M' pa ka sipòte fèt moun k'ap fè mechanste yo ap fè pou mwen.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Mwen rayi fèt lalin nouvèl nou yo ak tout bèl seremoni n'ap plede fè yo. Se yon chay yo tounen pou mwen. Mwen pa ka sipòte yo ankò.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Lè n'ap leve bra nou anlè pou nou lapriyè nan pye m', m'ap bouche je m' pou m' pa wè nou. Nou mèt fè lapriyè sou lapriyè, mwen p'ap tande nou! Men nou plen san!

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Manyè netwaye lavi nou non! Mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen non! Sispann tout lenjistis mwen wè n'ap fè yo! Wi, sispann fè sa ki mal!

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Manyè aprann fè sa ki byen! Chache fè sa ki dwat devan mwen! Pran defans moun y'ap kraze yo! Defann kòz timoun ki san papa ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Seyè a di konsa: -Nou mèt vini atò! Vini non! Ann regle koze a! Menm si peche nou yo ta tache wouj kou san sou tout kò nou, m'ap lave nou. M'ap fè nou vini blan kou koton. Nou te mèt tache wouj fonse, m'ap blanchi nou, m'ap fè nou blan kou lenn mouton.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Si nou dakò pou nou fè sa mwen di nou fè, n'a manje bèl rekòt peyi a va bay.

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Men, si nou derefize koute m', si nou rete ap fè tèt di toujou, nou tout gen pou n' mouri nan lagè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa ak bouch mwen.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

Yon lè, lavil Jerizalèm te renmen m' ak tout kè li. Koulye a, li tounen yon jennès! Yon lè, se moun ki mache dwat ase ki te rete ladan l', yo pa t' fè lenjistis. Koulye a se renk ansasen!

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

Lajan nou yo tounen labou, yo pa vo anyen! Bon diven nou yo tounen dlo!

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Chèf nou yo leve vire do bay Bondye. Yo fè bann ak vòlò yo! Tout moun cho dèyè avantaj pa yo. Y'ap kouri dèyè moun k'ap bay lajan. Yo pa defann kòz moun ki san papa yo. Lè yon fanm san mari nan ka, yo pa gade l' menm.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

Se poutèt sa, koulye a, koute sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki gen fòs kouraj la ap di: Nou se lènmi m'. Nou pa vle wè m'. Mwen pral pran revanj mwen. Mwen p'ap kite nou ban m' traka ankò.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

Mwen pral regle nou. Mwen pral netwaye nou nan dife, tankou lè y'ap netwaye fè. Mwen pral wete tout vye kras ki sou nou.

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Mwen pral ban nou chèf ak majistra tankou sa nou te konn genyen nan tan lontan yo. Lè sa a, y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm: lavil kote moun mache dwat la, lavil ki renmen m' ak tout kè li.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

Seyè a ap fè sa ki gen pou fèt. L'a sove lavil Jerizalèm. Seyè a ap rann jistis, l'a delivre moun Siyon ki va tounen vin jwenn li yo.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

Men, l'ap kraze sa k'ap fè sa ki mal yo ansanm ak sa k'ap viv nan peche yo. L'ap touye tou sa ki vire do bay Seyè a.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

N'a wont akòz gwo pye bwadchenn repozwa nou te konn sèvi yo, akòz bèl jaden nou te plante pou zidòl yo.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

N'ap tankou yon pye bwadchenn k'ap deperi, tankou yon jaden ki pa jwenn dlo.

And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

Menm jan yon ti tensèl mete dife nan yon pil fachin bwa chèch, se konsa sa gwonèg yo ap fè a ap tounen yon tizon dife nan dèyè yo. Pesonn p'ap ka fè anyen pou sove yo.
