Isaiah 32
1 Watch! A king is coming who does what's right when he rules, and those who rule under him will act fairly.
Yon jou, va gen yon wa k'ap gouvènen peyi a san patipri. Chèf yo va dirije peyi a jan sa dwe fèt.
2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind, like a protection from the storm, like rivers of water in the dry desert, like the shade of a large rock in a sun-baked land.
Yo chak pral tankou kote moun al kache pou move van, tankou kote moun al kache pou van tanpèt. Y'ap tankou yon sous dlo k'ap koule nan dezè, tankou yon kokenn wòch k'ap bay lonbray kote ki pa gen dlo.
3 Then everyone with eyes will be able to truly see, and everyone who has ears will be able to truly hear.
Je tout moun va louvri pou yo wè sa k'ap pase. Zòrèy tout moun va louvri pou yo konnen sa k'ap fèt nan peyi a.
4 Those whose minds are impulsive will be sensible and think things through; those who stammer will speak clearly.
Moun kè cho yo va pran san yo pou yo konprann anvan yo aji. Moun bege yo pral pale byen klè pou tout moun konprann.
5 No longer will fools be called respectable or crooks highly-regarded.
P'ap gen moun k'ap asepte pran moun sòt pou moun debyen, ni bakoulou pou bon moun.
6 For fools only talk foolishness, thinking evil things. They act in opposition to the Lord, misrepresenting him in what they say. They refuse to give food to the hungry and deny water to the thirsty.
Moun sòt yo ap plede di yon bann vye koze san sans. Y'ap fè move lide nan tèt yo. Konsa, y'ap fè bagay Bondye pa vle moun fè, y'ap bay manti sou Bondye. Yo p'ap janm bay moun ki grangou yon ti manje, yo p'ap janm bay moun ki swaf dlo yon ti gout dlo pou yo bwè.
7 Cheats use evil methods; they devise schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when right is on the side of the poor.
Bakoulou, se koken k'ap fè mechanste. L'ap fè move plan nan tèt li pou l' woule pòv malere yo anba manti, pou l' enpoze endijan yo jwenn jistis.
8 But noble people act unselfishly; they keep to their principles of generosity.
Men, bon moun, se toujou sa ki byen l'ap chache fè, li p'ap janm fè anyen ki pa sa.
9 Get up, you women who are lying around relaxing, and pay attention to what I'm saying! You ladies without a care in the world, listen to me!
Nou menm medam k'ap viv alèz yo, leve non. Koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm medam ki san pwoblèm yo, louvri zòrèy nou tande sa m'ap di:
10 In just over a year, you who think yourselves so safe will tremble with fear. The grape harvest is going to fail and there'll be no harvest.
Bann paresèz, nan ennan ankò, nou pral nan kont traka nou, paske p'ap gen rezen pou nou keyi, p'ap gen rekòt rezen k'ap fèt.
11 Shudder, you women relaxing! Tremble, you ladies who feel so safe! Strip off your clothes, bare yourselves and put on sackcloth around your waists.
Bann byennerèz, nou pral nan ka! Bann paresèz, nou pral tranble! Wete rad sou nou, rete toutouni, mare ren nou ak ranyon,
12 Beat your breasts in sadness over the loss of your lovely fields, your productive vines,
paske nou pral nan lapenn lè n'a chonje bèl jaden ak bèl grap rezen nou yo, lè n'a wè se pikan ak raje k'ap pouse nan tout jaden pèp mwen an.
13 over the loss of the land of my people. Mourn because it's now overgrown with thorns and brambles, mourn because of the loss of all the happy homes and joyful towns.
Nou pral kriye lè n'a chonje tout kay kote moun yo te konn gen kè kontan nan lavil ki te gen anpil aktivite a.
14 The palace is abandoned, the crowded town is deserted. Castles and watch towers will forever become homes loved by wild donkeys, and places where sheep graze,
Kay wa a ap rete san pesonn ladan l'. Tout moun pral kouri kite kapital la. Bit mòn Ofèl la ak fò ki t'ap pwoteje l' la pral tounen savann pou tout tan. Se la bourik mawon pral pran plezi yo, se la kabrit ak mouton pral chache manje.
15 until the Spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes like a good field full of crops, and a good field will grow like a forest.
Men, Bondye gen pou l' voye lespri li desann sou nou ankò. Dezè a va tounen yon bon venn tè. Jaden nou yo va bay bèl rekòt.
16 Then people living in the desert will practice justice, and those living among the fields will do what is right.
Toupatou nan peyi a, nan dezè a kou nan jaden yo, p'ap gen lenjistis, ni patipri.
17 Living right will bring peace and security that endures.
Paske tout moun ap fè sa ki dwat, y'a viv ak kè poze, san danje ni malè pou tout tan.
18 My people will live in peace, safe and secure in their homes.
Pèp Bondye a va rete lakay yo ak kè poze, san danje. Yo p'ap gen pwoblèm.
19 Even though hail can destroy a forest, and a town can be demolished,
Men lagrèl pral tonbe sou gwo rakbwa a. Yo pral kraze lavil la.
20 you will be happy as you sow your crops beside the waters and let your cattle and donkeys roam freely.
Ala kontan n'a kontan jwenn kont dlo nou pou fè jaden! Lè sa a, nou p'ap bezwen mete bèf ak bourik nou yo nan kòd ankò!
