< Isaiah 27 >
1 In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
Jou sa a, Seyè a pral pran gwo nepe li a ki byen file, byen solid, li pral sèvi avè l' pou l' pini levyatan an, gwo koulèv ki konn kouri kache a, gwo koulèv ki konn tòde kò l' la. L'ap touye dragon k'ap viv nan lanmè a.
2 In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
Jou sa a, y'a chante yon chante sou jaden rezen k'ap bay bon diven an.
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap okipe jaden an. Se chak lè m'ap wouze l'. Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap veye l', pou pesonn pa fè l' anyen.
4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
Mwen pa fache avè l' ankò. Si mwen jwenn pikan ak move raje ladan l', m'a rache yo. M'a sanble yo, m'a boule yo nan dife.
5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
Men, si lènmi pèp mwen an vle pou m' pwoteje yo, se pou yo vin fè lapè ak mwen. Wi, se pou yo vin fè lapè ak mwen.
6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
Nan jou k'ap vini yo, fanmi Jakòb la pral pouse rasin ankò, pèp Izrayèl la pral boujonnen, li pral fè flè. Li pral kouvri latè ak donn l'ap bay.
7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
Seyè a pa t' pini l' menm jan li te pini lènmi l' yo. Li pa t' touye moun li yo menm jan li te touye moun ki t'ap ansasinen l' yo.
8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
Pou l' te pini pèp la, li mete yo deyò nan peyi a, li fè depòte yo, li voye yon move van soti nan lès pote yo ale.
9 Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
Men, pou l' padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl la, se pou tout wòch lotèl zidòl yo tounen pousyè lacho, se pou yo kraze tout estati zidòl yo ansanm ak lotèl kote yo boule lansan pou yo. Se konsa li p'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè a.
10 For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
Lavil ki te gen gwo ranpa ap fin kraze. Pa gen moun ki rete la ankò. Lavil la tounen yon savann. Se la jenn bèf vin rete, se la yo manje, se la yo kouche. Y'ap manje dènye ti pous raje.
11 When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
Branch bwa yo cheche, yo kase. Medam yo ranmase yo pou fè dife. Paske pèp la pa t' konprann anyen, Bondye ki te kreye l' la p'ap gen pitye pou li. Bondye ki te fè l' la p'ap fè l' gras.
12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
Jou sa a, tankou lè y'ap bat pwa sou glasi, se Seyè a menm ki pral jije tout moun nan peyi a, depi bò larivyè Lefrat la jouk ravin ki sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la. Apre sa, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo, l'ap ranmase nou grenn pa grenn, tankou lè y'ap ranmase grenn pwa sou glasi.
13 And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Wi, jou sa a, y'a kònen gwo twonpèt la. Tout moun ki t'ap deperi nan peyi Lasiri, tout moun yo te depòte nan peyi Lejip yo pral tounen lakay yo. Y'ap vin adore Seyè a sou mòn ki apa pou li a, nan lavil Jerizalèm.
