Isaiah 11
1 And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.
Menm jan yon ti plan pouse soti nan rasin yon pyebwa yo koupe, yon ti kreyòl soti nan chouk li, se konsa tou yon wa pral soti nan ras David la.
2 And the spirit of the Lord will be resting on him, the spirit of wisdom and good sense, the spirit of wise guiding and strength, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
Lespri Bondye a pral desann sou li. L'ap ba li bon konprann ak lespri. L'ap ba li konesans ak ladrès pou l' dirije. L'ap fè l' konn Seyè a, l'ap fè l' gen krentif pou li.
3 And he will not be guided in his judging by what he sees, or give decisions by the hearing of his ears:
L'a pran plezi l' pou l' obeyi Seyè a nan tout bagay. Li p'ap gade sou figi moun pou l' jije yo. Li p'ap rete sou sa yo vin di l' pou l' rann jijman.
4 But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.
L'ap rann jijman pou pòv yo san patipri. L'ap defann dwa pòv malere nan peyi a san paspouki. L'ap denonse sa moun ap fè nan peyi a, l'ap pini yo. L'ap soufle ak bouch li sou mechan yo, l'ap disparèt yo.
5 And righteousness will be the cord of his robe, and good faith the band round his breast.
L'a gouvènen pèp la san patipri, l'a dirije pèp la jan sa dwe fèt!
6 And the wolf will be living with the lamb, and the leopard will take his rest with the young goat; and the lion will take grass for food like the ox; and the young lion will go with the young ones of the herd; and a little child will be their guide.
Bèt nan bwa ak mouton va viv ansanm. Tig pral kouche menm kote ak jenn kabrit. Jenn ti bèf ak jenn ti lyon pral manje ansanm. Lèfini, se yon timoun ki pral okipe yo.
7 And the cow and the bear will be friends while their young ones are sleeping together.
Manman bèf ak manman lous va manje ansanm nan menm savann. Ti bèf ak ti lous va jwe ansanm. Lyon va manje zèb tankou bèf.
8 And the child at the breast will be playing by the hole of the snake, and the older child will put his hand on the bright eye of the poison-snake.
Ti bebe nan tete va jwe devan twou koulèv. Timoun fèk sevre va lonje men yo nan bouch twou sèpan san anyen p'ap rive yo.
9 There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters.
Pesonn p'ap fè mechanste. Pesonn p'ap fè sa ki mal sou mòn ki apa pou Bondye a, sou mòn Siyon an! Paske kè tout moun nan peyi a pral plen konesans Bondye, menm jan fon lanmè a plen dlo.
10 And in that day, the eyes of the nations will be turned to the root of Jesse which will be lifted up as the flag of the peoples; and his resting-place will be glory.
Yon jou gen pou vini. Lè sa a, ti kreyòl ki va soti nan chouk fanmi Izayi a va kanpe tankou yon siy pou tout nasyon yo. Moun va soti toupatou pou yo vin bò kote l'. Y'a fè lwanj li nan lavil kote l' rete a.
11 And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands.
Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè wè fòs ponyèt li yon dezyèm fwa ankò. L'a delivre ti rès pèp li a, ponyen moun ki rete nan sa yo te depòte nan peyi Lasiri, nan peyi Lejip, ak nan tout peyi sa yo: Patwòs, Letiopi, Elam, Babilòn ak Amat, nan tout peyi lakòt yo ak nan tout zile yo.
12 And he will put up a flag as a sign to the nations, and he will get together those of Israel who had been sent away, and the wandering ones of Judah, from the four ends of the earth.
Seyè a pral leve yon drapo pou l' fè moun lòt nasyon yo wè li pral sanble tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo. L'ap ranmase tout moun pèp Jida ki te gaye toupatou sou latè yo. L'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi yo.
13 And the envy of Ephraim will be gone, and those who make trouble for Judah will come to an end: Ephraim will have no more envy of Judah, and there will be an end of Judah's hate for Ephraim.
Moun peyi Efrayim yo p'ap fè jalouzi ankò. Peyi Jida a p'ap kenbe moun nan kè ankò. Moun peyi Efrayim yo p'ap anvye sò moun Jida yo. Moun Jida yo p'ap lènmi ankò ak moun Izrayèl yo.
14 And they will be united in attacking the Philistines on the west, and together they will take the goods of the children of the east: their hand will be on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon will be under their rule.
Y'ap mete ansanm, yo pral atake moun Filisti yo ki bò solèy kouche, yo pral piye moun k'ap viv bò solèy leve yo. Yo pral donminen sou peyi Edon ak sou peyi Moab. Moun peyi Amon pral soumèt devan yo.
15 And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.
Seyè a pral voye yon van cho ki pral cheche tout dlo gwo larivyè Lejip la. Li pral cheche dlo larivyè Lefrat la. L'ap fè l' tounen sèt ti kannal dlo, konsa tout moun ka janbe l' ak tout sapat nan pye yo.
16 And there will be a highway for the rest of his people from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Egypt.
L'ap louvri yon gran chemen soti peyi Lasiri pou rès pèp li a k'ap viv laba a, menm jan li te fè l' pou pèp Izrayèl la jou yo t'ap soti kite Lejip la.
