Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks.
Nan jou sa a, chanson sa a va chante nan peyi Juda: “Nou gen yon vil ki fò; li monte miray ak ranfò pou sekirite.
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
Ouvri pòtay yo pou nasyon ladwati a ka antre; sila ki rete fidèl la.
3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee: ] because he trusteth in thee.
Sila ki rete fèm nan panse li yo, Ou va kenbe nan lapè pafè, akoz li gen konfyans nan Ou.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength:
Mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan, paske nan BONDYE SENYÈ a, nou gen yon Wòch etènèl.
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, [even] to the ground; he bringeth it [even] to the dust.
Paske Li te bese sila ki te rete anwo yo, vil ki pa t kapab venk lan. Li te desann li ba. Li te desann li jis atè. Li te jete li nan pousyè.
6 The foot shall tread it down, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy.
Pye va foule l, pye a malere a, pla pye a sila ki san sekou yo.”
7 The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
Chemen moun jis se ladwati. O Sila Ki Dwat la, fè wout a moun dwat yo a byen pla.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Anverite, selon jijman Ou yo, O SENYÈ, nou t ap tann Ou. Non Ou, menm memwa Ou, se dezi a nanm nou.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Nan lannwit, nanm mwen anvi Ou. Anverite, lespri m anndan mwen chache Ou ak enpasyans; paske lè jijman Ou yo rive sou latè, sila ki rete ladann yo, aprann ladwati.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, [yet] will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Malgre mechan an ta jwenn favè, li pa p aprann ladwati. Li aji ak enjistis nan peyi ladwati. Konsa, li p ap janm wè majeste Senyè a.
11 LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
O SENYÈ, men Ou leve wo, men yo pa wè li; men yo va wè zèl Ou pou pèp la e y ap vin wont. Anverite, dife va devore lènmi Ou yo.
12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
SENYÈ, Ou va etabli lapè pou nou, akoz ou te akonpli pou nou tout zèv nou yo.
13 O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had dominion over us: [but] by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an, lòt mèt apà de ou te gouvène nou; men se non Ou sèl, ke nap konfese.
14 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Sila ki mouri yo p ap viv. Lespri ki pati yo p ap leve ankò. Konsa, Ou te pini yo, detwi yo e Ou te efase tout memwa a yo menm.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
Ou te ogmante nasyon an, O SENYÈ, Ou te agrandi nasyon an! Ou leve wo! Ou te fè tout lizyè peyi a vin pi laj.
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening [was] upon them.
O SENYÈ, nan mitan gwo twoub yo, yo te chache Ou. Yo pa t ka fè plis pase respire yon priyè le chatiman Ou te sou yo.
17 Like as a woman with child, [that] draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
Tankou fanm ansent k ap pwoche tan pou akouche; li vire kò l e li rele anmwey nan doulè ansent lan; se konsa nou te ye devan Ou, O SENYÈ.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Nou te ansent, nou te vire kò, men nou pa t bay nesans a plis ke van. Nou pa t ka akonpli delivrans sou tè a, ni pitit mond yo pa t tonbe.
19 Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Moun mouri Ou yo va viv; kadav pa yo va leve. Nou menm ki kouche nan pousyè a, leve e fè kri lajwa, paske lawouze ou se lawouze solèy leve a, e latè va bay nesans a lespri ki te pati yo.
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Vini, pèp mwen an, antre nan chanm nou e fèmen pòt nou dèyè nou. Kache pou yon ti tan jiskaske gwo kòlè a fin pase.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Paske gade byen, SENYÈ a prèt pou sòti nan plas Li, pou pini sila ki rete sou latè yo pou inikite yo. Konsa, latè va fè parèt tout san vèse li yo, e li p ap kache mò li yo ankò.
