65 ¶ Seyè a te di: -Mwen te tou pare pou m' te reponn lapriyè pèp mwen an, menm lè yo pa t' lapriyè m'. Mwen te toupre yo, menm lè yo pa t' chache m'. Pèp la pa lapriyè nan pye m', atout mwen te toujou pare pou m' di yo: Men mwen! Men mwen!

Chak jou mwen t'ap lonje men m' bay yon pèp ki t'ap kenbe tèt ak mwen, ki t'ap fè sa ki mal, ki t'ap fè sa yo pito.

Nan figi m' konsa, yo t'ap plede fè bagay pou fè m' fache. Yo ofri bèt pou touye pou zidòl nan jaden yo, yo boule lansan sou lotèl zidòl yo.

Lannwit, y' al nan simityè ak nan twou wòch pou fè sèvis pou mò ka di yo sa pou yo fè. Yo manje vyann kochon, yo bwè bouyon fèt ak vyann ki pa bon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye manje.

Apre sa, yonn di lòt: Pa pwoche m'. Pa manyen m', paske yo mete m' apa pou Bondye! Non, mwen pa ka sipòte sa y'ap fè a. Sa fè m' move, kòlè mwen tankou yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.

Seyè a te di: Men desizyon mwen fin pran nan kè m': Mwen p'ap bay kò m' kanpo toutotan mwen pa pini yo, toutan mwen pa regle yo

pou peche yo ak pou peche zansèt yo. Yo te boule lansan pou zidòl sou mòn yo, yo t'ap derespekte m' sou ti bit mòn yo. Se poutèt sa m'ap regle ak yo jan yo merite l' la.

¶ Men sa Seyè a te di ankò: -Pesonn pa janm voye yon bon grap rezen jete. Okontrè, li sere l' pou fè diven ak li. Konsa tou, mwen p'ap detwi tout pèp la, m'ap sove moun k'ap sèvi m' yo.

Nan tout fanmi Jakòb la, m'ap fè moun branch fanmi Jida yo pran mòn mwen yo pou yo. Se la moun mwen chwazi yo ak moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va rete.

10 Plenn Sawon an pral tounen yon jaden zèb pou mouton m' yo, pou moun k'ap sèvi m' yo. Mwen pral lonje bèf mwen yo, moun ki toujou ap chache fè volonte m' yo, nan fon Akò pou yo ka manje.

11 ¶ Men pou nou menm ki vire do bay Seyè a, nou menm ki bliye mòn ki apa pou mwen an, epi ki al fè sèvis manje pou Gad, ki al fè ofrann bwason pou Mini,

12 m'ap fè nou mouri nan lagè. Nou tout nou pral bese do nou pou yo koupe kou nou, paske mwen te rele nou, nou pa t' reponn. Mwen pale nou, nou pa t' koute m'. Nou fè sa ki mal devan je m', nou pito fè sa ki p'ap fè m' plezi.

13 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a di: -Moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va jwenn kont manje pou yo manje. Men nou menm n'a ret grangou. Sèvitè m' yo va jwenn kont pou yo bwè, nou menm n'ap ret swaf dlo. Sèvitè m' yo va gen kè kontan; men nou menm n'a wont.

14 Sèvitè m' yo va fè fèt tèlman y'a kontan, men nou menm n'a plenn, n'a gen kè sere, n'a rele, kè nou va kase.

15 Moun mwen chwazi yo va sèvi ak non nou pou joure moun. Mwen menm Seyè a, m'a fè nou mouri. Y'a di: Se pou Seyè a touye ou tankou l' touye moun sa yo! Men, m'a bay sèvitè m' yo yon bon repitasyon.

16 Tout moun nan peyi a ki bezwen benediksyon va jwenn benediksyon nan men Bondye ki toujou kenbe pawòl li a. Tout moun nan peyi a k'ap fè sèman va fè l' nan non Bondye k'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li a, paske moun yo p'ap chonje tray yo te konn pase nan tan lontan yo, m'ap bliye sa.

17 ¶ Mwen pral fè yon lòt syèl ak yon lòt tè. Pesonn p'ap chonje sa ki te pase nan tan lontan. Sa p'ap janm vin nan tèt yo ankò.

18 Sa m' pral fè a ap bay kè kontan, moun ap fè fèt san rete. Mwen pral fè yon lòt lavil Jerizalèm kote tout moun pral fè fèt. Moun li yo pral kontan.

19 Mwen menm m'ap fè fèt pou Jerizalèm, m'ap kontan pou pèp mwen an. P'ap gen kriye ankò nan lavil la! P'ap gen rele mande sekou ankò!

20 Timoun p'ap mouri tou piti ankò! Granmoun ap fè tout tan yo! Pi bonnè pou yo mouri se va sou santan. Moun ki va rive gen santan anvan yo mouri, y'a mouri jenn! Moun ki va mouri anvan yo rive gen santan, se moun ki va gen madichon!

21 Moun va bati kay pou yo rete. Y'a plante jaden rezen pou yo manje rezen.

22 Yo p'ap bati kay ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou rete ladan yo. Yo p'ap plante jaden ankò pou se lòt moun ki pou manje l'. Pèp mwen an ap viv rive gen menm laj ak pyebwa. Pèp mwen chwazi a va jwi travay yo fè ak men yo kont kò yo.

23 Yo p'ap kraze kò yo travay pou bontan ankò! Travay yo va rapòte yo! Pitit yo p'ap konn sa ki rele malè ankò! M'ap beni yo ansanm ak pitit yo jouk sa kaba.

24 Anvan menm yo fin lapriyè, m'ap gen tan reponn yo. Anvan menm yo fèmen bouch yo, m'ap gen tan ba yo sa yo mande a.

25 Chen mawon ak mouton pral manje ansanm. Lyon pral manje zèb menm jan ak bèf. Sèpan p'ap yon danje ankò pou pesonn. Sou tout mòn ki apa pou mwen an, p'ap gen mechanste, p'ap gen rayisab ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!

Judgment and Salvation

65 “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;
    I was found by those who did not seek me.(A)
To a nation(B) that did not call on my name,(C)
    I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’
All day long I have held out my hands
    to an obstinate people,(D)
who walk in ways not good,
    pursuing their own imaginations(E)
a people who continually provoke me
    to my very face,(F)
offering sacrifices in gardens(G)
    and burning incense(H) on altars of brick;
who sit among the graves(I)
    and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(J)
    and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
    for I am too sacred(K) for you!’
Such people are smoke(L) in my nostrils,
    a fire that keeps burning all day.

“See, it stands written before me:
    I will not keep silent(M) but will pay back(N) in full;
    I will pay it back into their laps(O)
both your sins(P) and the sins of your ancestors,”(Q)
    says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,(R)
I will measure into their laps
    the full payment(S) for their former deeds.”

This is what the Lord says:

“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(T)
    and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
    there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(U)
    I will not destroy them all.
I will bring forth descendants(V) from Jacob,
    and from Judah those who will possess(W) my mountains;
my chosen(X) people will inherit them,
    and there will my servants live.(Y)
10 Sharon(Z) will become a pasture for flocks,(AA)
    and the Valley of Achor(AB) a resting place for herds,
    for my people who seek(AC) me.

11 “But as for you who forsake(AD) the Lord
    and forget my holy mountain,(AE)
who spread a table for Fortune
    and fill bowls of mixed wine(AF) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(AG)
    and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(AH)
for I called but you did not answer,(AI)
    I spoke but you did not listen.(AJ)
You did evil in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”(AK)

13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“My servants will eat,(AL)
    but you will go hungry;(AM)
my servants will drink,(AN)
    but you will go thirsty;(AO)
my servants will rejoice,(AP)
    but you will be put to shame.(AQ)
14 My servants will sing(AR)
    out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(AS)
    from anguish of heart
    and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
    for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(AT)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
    but to his servants he will give another name.(AU)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(AV) in the land
    will do so by the one true God;(AW)
whoever takes an oath in the land
    will swear(AX) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(AY) will be forgotten
    and hidden from my eyes.

New Heavens and a New Earth

17 “See, I will create
    new heavens and a new earth.(AZ)
The former things will not be remembered,(BA)
    nor will they come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice(BB) forever
    in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem(BC) to be a delight
    and its people a joy.
19 I will rejoice(BD) over Jerusalem
    and take delight(BE) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(BF)
    will be heard in it no more.

20 “Never again will there be in it
    an infant(BG) who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not live out his years;(BH)
the one who dies at a hundred
    will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
    will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(BI) and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(BJ)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(BK)
    or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(BL)
    so will be the days(BM) of my people;
my chosen(BN) ones will long enjoy
    the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor in vain,(BO)
    nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;(BP)
for they will be a people blessed(BQ) by the Lord,
    they and their descendants(BR) with them.
24 Before they call(BS) I will answer;(BT)
    while they are still speaking(BU) I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb(BV) will feed together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox,(BW)
    and dust will be the serpent’s(BX) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
    on all my holy mountain,”(BY)
says the Lord.
