Isaiah 32
1 Behold, the king will reign in justice, and the princes will rule in judgment.
Gade byen, yon wa va renye ak ladwati e prens yo va renye ak jistis.
2 And a man will be like someone hidden from the wind, who conceals himself from a storm, or like rivers of waters in a time of thirst, or like the shadow of a rock that juts out in a desert land.
Yon nonm va tankou yon abri kont van ak yon pwotèj kont tanpèt, tankou sous dlo nan yon peyi sèch, tankou lonbraj a yon gwo wòch nan yon peyi ki deseche.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be obscured, and the ears of those who hear will listen closely.
Alò, zye a sila ki wè yo, p ap vin avegle; zòrèy a sila ki tande yo, va koute.
4 And the heart of the foolish will understand knowledge, and the tongue of those with impaired speech will speak quickly and plainly.
Kè a sila ki aji san reflechi a va konprann verite, e lang lan a sila ki bege a va pale klè.
5 He who is foolish will no longer be called leader, nor will the deceitful be called greater.
Li p ap rive ankò ke yo rele moun fou, prens; ni rele vakabon, moun bon kè.
6 For a foolish man speaks foolishness and his heart works iniquity in order to accomplish deception. And he speaks to the Lord deceitfully, so as to empty the soul of the hungry and to take away drink from the thirsty.
Paske moun fou a pale foli, e kè li apiye vè mechanste: pou fè sa ki kont Bondye e pale mal kont SENYÈ a, pou kenbe moun grangou a san satisfè, e pou anpeche moun swaf la bwè.
7 The tools of the deceitful are very wicked. For they have concocted plans to destroy the meek by lying words, though the poor speak judgment.
Pou vakabon an, zam li se mechanste. Li fòme plan mechan pou detwi moun aflije a ak kout lang, malgre sila ki nan bezwen an pale sa ki bon.
8 Yet truly, the prince will plan things that are worthy of a prince, and he will stand above the rulers.
Men sila ki prens toujou fòme plan ki bèl; epi pa bèl plan an, ap kanpe.
9 You opulent women, rise up and listen to my voice! O confident daughters, play close attention to my eloquence!
Leve ou menm, O fanm ki alèz e tande vwa mwen! Prete zòrèy a pawòl mwen, fi ki alèz, san pwoblèm yo.
10 For after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
Nan yon ane ak kèk jou, nou va twouble, O fi ki san pridans yo; paske, afè fwi diven an va fini, ni rekòlt la p ap rive.
11 Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
Tranble, fanm alèz yo; twouble, nou menm ki san pridans! Retire rad nou, dezabiye nou e mete twal sak nan senti nou.
12 Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
Bat lestomak nou pou bèl chan jaden yo, pou chan ki plen ak fwi rezen yo.
13 Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
Anplispou peyi a pèp mwen an, kote pikan ak raje va pouse monte; wi pou tout kay plen ak jwa yo ak gran vil kè kontan yo.
14 For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
Paske palè a vin vid, e gran vil plen moun yo vin abandone. Kolin ak fò ki wo yo vin tounen kav yo jis pou tout tan, yon plezi pou bourik mawon, yon patiraj pou bann mouton yo;
15 until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
jiskaske Lespri a vide sou nou soti anwo, epi savann nan vin fè yon chan fètil, e chan fètil la va vin konsidere kon yon forè.
16 And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
Nan lè sa a lajistis va demere nan dezè a e ladwati nan chan fètil la.
17 And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.
Epi zèv ladwati a va lapè, e sèvis ladwati a va kalm ak konfyans k ap dire jis pou tout tan.
18 And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.
Nan lè sa a, pèp mwen an va viv nan yon abitasyon lapè, ak sekirite ki san twoub nan plas repo san pwoblèm.
19 But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
Malgre lagrèl tonbe kraze forè a, e gran vil la va vin devaste nèt.
20 Blessed are you who sow over any waters, sending the feet of the ox and the donkey there.
A la beni nou va beni, nou menm ki simen akote tout dlo yo, ki lage pye bèf ak bourik la.
