Isaiah 9
1 Yet the darkenesse shall not be according to the affliction that it had when at the first hee touched lightly the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, nor afteward when he was more grieuous by the way of the sea beyond Iorden in Galile of the Gentiles.
Te gen yon lè, peyi fanmi Zabilon yo ak peyi fanmi Neftali yo t'ap drive nan labou. Men pita, va rive yon lè tout rejyon an, pran depi lanmè Meditèrane rive bò larivyè Jouden, moute peyi Galile kote moun lòt nasyon yo rete a, tout rejyon an va kanpe ankò.
2 The people that walked in darkenes haue seene a great light: they that dwelled in the land of the shadowe of death, vpon them hath the light shined.
Pèp ki t'ap mache nan fènwa a wè yon gwo limyè. Yo te rete nan yon peyi kouvri ak fènwa. Men, koulye a yon limyè vin klere yo!
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased their ioye: they haue reioyced before thee according to the ioye in haruest, and as men reioyce when they deuide a spoyle.
Ou fè yo vin anpil, Seyè! Ou ba yo gwo kè kontan. Yo te kontan wè sa ou fè pou yo, tankou moun k'ap fè fèt lè sezon rekòt, tankou moun k'ap fè gwo fèt lè y'ap separe sa yo pran nan lagè.
4 For the yoke of their burthen, and the staffe of their shoulder and the rod of their oppressour hast thou broken as in the day of Midian.
Paske ou kraze bout bwa ki te mare dèyè kou yo a, baton ki t'ap peze zepòl yo a! Wi, Seyè! Ou kraze bout fè nan men moun ki t'ap fè yo pase tray la, tankou jou lè ou te kraze moun Madyan yo!
5 Surely euery battell of the warriour is with noyse, and with tumbling of garments in blood: but this shall be with burning and deuouring of fire.
Tout soulye sòlda ki t'ap plede fè bri yo, tout rad sòlda ki te plen san yo, yo pral boule sa nan dife.
6 For vnto vs a childe is borne, and vnto vs a Sonne is giuen: and the gouernement is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name Wonderfull, Counseller, The mightie God, The euerlasting Father, The prince of peace,
Nou gen yon ti pitit ki fenk fèt. Bondye ban nou yon gason. Se li menm ki pral chèf nou. Y'a rele l': Bon konseye k'ap fè bèl bagay la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Papa ki la pou tout tan an, Wa k'ap bay kè poze a!
7 The increase of his gouernement and peace shall haue none end: he shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and vpon his kingdome, to order it, and to stablish it with iudgement and with iustice, from hencefoorth, euen for euer: the zeale of the Lord of hostes will performe this.
Gouvènman li p'ap gen finisman. Nan peyi l'ap gouvènen an se va kè poze san rete. L'ap chita sou fotèy wa David la. L'ap gouvènen peyi wa David la. L'ap fè gouvènman an byen chita, l'ap ba li bon pye paske l'ap fè sa ki dwat. Li p'ap nan patipri, depi koulye a jouk sa kaba. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè tou sa rive vre!
8 The Lord hath sent a worde into Iaakob, and it hath lighted vpon Israel.
Seyè a fè konnen desizyon l' sou peyi Izrayèl la ak sou moun fanmi Jakòb yo.
9 And all the people shall knowe, euen Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and presumption of the heart,
Tout pèp Izrayèl la, tout moun ki rete lavil Samari yo va konn sa l' te di a. Men, yo sitèlman gen lògèy, yo sitèlman awogan, y'ap di:
10 The brickes are fallen, but we will build it with hewen stones: the wilde figge trees are cut downe, but we will change them into ceders.
Kay brik yo kraze, n'a bati lòt ak wòch taye. Yo koupe poto sikomò yo jete, n'a fè lòt ak bwa sèd mete nan plas yo.
11 Neuerthelesse the Lord will raise vp the aduersaries of Rezin against him, and ioyne his enemies together.
Seyè a fè lènmi pèp Izrayèl la leve dèyè l'. L'ap fè chèf lame wa Rezen lan atake l'.
12 Aram before and the Philistims behinde, and they shall deuoure Israel with open mouth: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Peyi Lasiri sou bò solèy leve, peyi Filisti sou bò solèy kouche, y'ap devore pèp Izrayèl la ak gwo koutdan. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo.
13 For the people turneth not vnto him that smiteth them, neither doe they seeke the Lord of hostes.
Pèp Izrayèl la pa chanje. Yo pa tounen vin jwenn moun ki t'ap pini yo a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and taile, branche and rush in one day.
Yon sèl jou a, Seyè a ap koupe ni tèt pèp Izrayèl la ni ke l'. L'ap pini tout chèf pèp la, gwo kou piti.
15 The ancient and the honorable man, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the taile.
Chèf fanmi yo ak notab yo, se yo ki tèt pèp la. Ke a menm, se pwofèt yo, papa mantò!
16 For the leaders of the people cause them to erre: and they that are led by them are deuoured.
Moun k'ap dirije pèp la fè l' pèdi chemen l'. Pèp la lage kò l' nan bwa.
17 Therefore shall the Lord haue no pleasure in their yong men, neither will he haue compassion of their fatherlesse and of their widowes: for euery one is an hypocrite and wicked, and euery mouth speaketh follie: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out stil.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a p'ap pran priyè nan men jenn gason yo. L'ap san pitye pou timoun ki san papa yo ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo, paske se tout pèp la nèt ki pa gen respè pou Bondye, yo tout ap fè mechanste. Se renk move pawòl ase ki nan bouch yo. Men se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo.
18 For wickednesse burneth as a fire: it deuoureth the briers and the thornes and will kindle in the thicke places of the forest: and they shall mount vp like the lifting vp of smoke.
Mechanste kaye nan mitan pèp la, tankou dife nan pikan ak nan raje. Dife a pran nan rakbwa yo, yo tounen lafimen k'ap moute nan syèl la.
19 By the wrath of the Lord of hostes shall the land be darkened, and the people shall be as the meate of ye fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te sitèlman move, li fini ak peyi a. Se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout moun nan peyi a. Pesonn pa ka sove pesonn.
20 And he shall snatch at the right hand, and be hungrie: and he shall eate on the left hand, and shall not be satisfied: euery one shall eate ye flesh of his owne arme.
Yo vire adwat, yo pran sa yo jwenn, yo grangou toujou. Yo vire agoch, yo devore sa yo jwenn, se atò yo grangou. Yo menm rive manje pwòp pitit yo!
21 Manasseh, Ephraim: and Ephraim Manasseh, and they both shall be against Iudah yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Moun Manase yo ak moun Efrayim yo, yonn ap devore lòt. Lèfini, yo mete tèt ansanm pou atake moun Jida yo. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo!
