< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va pini Leviathan ak gwo nepe a byen di. Leviathan, sèpan tòde a, kap pran flit; li va touye dragon an ki rete nan lanmè a.
2 In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
Nan jou sa a, chante pou li”Yon bèl chan rezen!
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
Mwen, SENYÈ a, se jeran li. Mwen wouze li tout tan. Pou pèsòn pa fè l donmaj, Mwen veye li lajounen kon lannwit.
4 Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
Mwen pa moun lakòlè. Men si Mwen ta jwenn raje ak pikan yo, Mwen ta fè batay! Mwen ta mache sou yo, e brile yo nèt.
5 Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?
Oswa, kite li depann de fòs Mwen pou l ka fè lapè avè M. Kite li fè lapè avè M.”
6 As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
Nan jou k ap vini yo, Jacob va pran rasin. Israël va fleri e boujonnen. Yo va plen tout mond lan ak fwi.
7 Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
Èske Li te frape yo, jan li te frape sa yo ki frape yo? Oswa èske se tankou masak Sila ki touye yo a, Li te touye yo?
8 You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
Ou te konfwonte yo ak egzil; ou te pouse yo ale. Ak souf fewòs Li, Li te chase yo ale nan jou van lès la.
9 Therefore, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
Akoz sa e atravè sa, inikite a Jacob la va padone. Konsa, sa va tout fwi la pou rete peche li: lè l fè lotèl wòch yo vin tankou poud wòch lakrè, pou Asherim nan ak lotèl lansan yo pa kanpe ankò.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
Paske vil fòtifye a vin sèl, yon anplasman kay ki dezole e ki vin bliye tankou dezè. Jenn bèf la va manje la, li va kouche e manje sou branch li yo.
11 Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
Lè branch li yo vin sèch, yo vin kase yo. Fanm yo va vini pou fè dife avèk yo, paske se yon pèp san konprann. Akoz sa Kreyatè yo a p ap fè konpasyon sou yo. Li ki te fòme yo a p ap bay yo gras.
12 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons of Israel.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va kòmanse bat gwo rekòlt Li depi nan flèv Rivyè Euphrate la jis rive nan dlo Égypte la, e nou va vin ranmase youn pa youn, O fis Israël yo.
13 And this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
Anplis, li va vin rive ke nan jou ke gran twonpèt la ap sone a, sila ki t ap peri nan peyi Assyrie yo, e ki te gaye an Égypte yo, va vin adore SENYÈ a nan mòn sen Jérusalem nan.
