Isaiah 25
1 Jehovah, thou art my God: I will exalt thee; I will celebrate thy name, for thou hast done wonderful things; counsels of old [which are] faithfulness [and] truth.
O SENYÈ, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va leve Ou byen wo! Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, paske Ou te fè gwo mèvèy; plan yo ki te fòme depi lontan, avèk tout fidelite ak verite.
2 For thou hast made of the city a heap, of the fortified town a ruin, the palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built up.
Paske Ou te fè yon gran vil vin tounen yon gwo pil wòch, yon vil byen fòtifye vin detwi nèt. Yon palè pou etranje yo pa yon vil ankò; li p ap janm rebati.
3 Therefore shall the mighty people glorify thee, the city of terrible nations shall fear thee.
Akoz sa, yon pèp byen fò va bay Ou glwa. Gran vil a nasyon ki mechan yo va fè Ou omaj.
4 For thou hast been a fortress to the poor, a fortress for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat: for the blast of the terrible ones [has been] as the storm [against] a wall.
Ou te toujou yon abri pou sila ki san sekou yo; yon defans pou malere nan gwo twoub la, yon pwotèj kont tanpèt, lonbraj kont chalè. Paske souf a mechan yo se tankou gwo tanpèt lapli kont yon miray.
5 Thou hast subdued the tumult of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [as] the heat, by the shadow of a cloud, [so] the song of the terrible ones is brought low.
Tankou chalè nan gwo sechrès, Ou fè bese zen a etranje yo; tankou chalè toupre lonbraj a yon nwaj, chanson a malveyan an vin bese ba.
6 And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
SENYÈ dèzame yo va prepare yon gwo bankè pou tout pèp sou mòn sa a; yon bankè diven rasi, mòso chwazi ak mwèl zo, diven byen rafine.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the veil which veileth all the peoples, and the covering that is spread over all the nations.
Sou mòn sa a, Li va vale nèt kouvèti pwotèj ki sou tout pèp yo, menm vwal la ki tann sou tout nasyon yo.
8 He will swallow up death in victory. And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Li te vale lanmò jis pou tout tan! Senyè BONDYE a va siye tout dlo nan zye a tout moun e li va retire repwòch a pèp Li a sou tout latè. Paske SENYÈ a te pale.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah, we have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Konsa, li va pale nan jou sa a, “Gade byen, sa se Bondye nou an! Sila nou te tann pou L te ka sove nou an! Sa se SENYÈ a! Sila nou t ap tann nan! Annou rejwi e fè kè kontan nan sali Li a!”
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of Jehovah rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is trodden down in the dunghill;
Paske men SENYÈ a va rete sou mòn sa a. Epi Moab va foule kote li ye, tankou pay fin foule nan dlo a yon pil fimye.
11 and he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth them forth to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the plots of their hands.
L ap ouvri men l byen gran nan mitan li kon yon moun k ap naje ta lonje men l yo pou naje; men SENYÈ a va desann ògèy li ansanm ak manèv koken a men li yo.
12 And the fortress of the high defences of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, bring to the ground, into the dust.
L ap desann ranfòsman fò ki pa t ka menm pwoche la, li va anile yo, bese yo e jete yo atè, jis rive nan pousyè.
