Isaiah 60

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

“Leve, briye; paske limyè ou fin parèt e glwa a SENYÈ a fin leve sou ou.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Paske gade byen, tenèb va kouvri latè e pwofon tenèb tout pèp yo. Men SENYÈ a va vin leve sou ou, e glwa li va parèt sou ou.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Nasyon yo va vin kote limyè ou a, e wa yo nan klète lè ou leve a.

4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.

“Leve zye ou toupatou e gade; yo tout rasanble ansanm; yo vin kote ou. Fis ou yo va vini soti lwen, e fi ou yo va pote nan bra yo.

5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

Epi ou va wè, ou va plen ak limyè; kè ou va kontan e ou va rejwi. Paske abondans lanmè a va vire vè ou; gran richès a nasyon yo va rive kote ou.

6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

Anpil chamo va kouvri ou, jenn chamo a Madian ak Épha yo. Tout sila soti Séba yo va vini. Yo va pote lò ak lansan, e yo va pote bòn nouvèl a, lwanj a SENYÈ a.

7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

Tout bann mouton Kédar yo va rasanble kote ou. Belye a Nebajoth yo va sèvi ou; yo va vin aksepte pou monte sou lotèl Mwen an, e Mwen va glorifye kay Mwen an ki plen lonè ak mayifisans.

8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

“Se kilès sa yo ki vole tankou yon nwaj ak tankou toutrèl vè fenèt pa yo?

9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

Anverite, peyi kot yo va tann Mwen; gwo bato Tarsis yo va vini premyèman pou mennen fis ou yo soti lwen; ajan ak lò yo avèk yo, pou non SENYÈ Bondye ou a e pou Sila Ki Sen an Israël la, akoz Li te bay ou glwa.

10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

“Etranje yo va bati, fòtifye miray ou yo, epi wa pa yo va fè sèvis pa yo. Paske nan kòlè Mwen, Mwen te frape ou e nan gras Mwen, Mwen te fè ou mizerikòd.

11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.

Pòtay ou yo va vin louvri nèt tout tan; yo p ap fèmen ni lajounen, ni lannwit, pou yo kapab pote bay ou richès a tout nasyon yo, ak wa yo kon kaptif.

12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

Paske nasyon ak wayòm ki p ap sèvi ou a va peri; wi, nasyon sa yo va fin detwi nèt.

13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

“Glwa a Liban an va rive kote ou, bwa pichpen an, bwa sèd ak bwa blan pou anbeli plas sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen va fè plas pye Mwen yo vin plen glwa.

14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Fis a sila ki te aflije ou yo va vin bese devan ou e tout sila ki te meprize ou yo va bese yo menm devan pla pye ou. Yo va rele ou vil SENYÈ a, Sion a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.

15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

“Konsi, ou te abandone e rayi, pou pèsòn pa pase ladann, Mwen va fè ou vin plen ak majeste, yon objè lajwa de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.

16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Anplis, ou va souse lèt a nasyon yo, e ou va souse tete a wa yo. Konsa, ou va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, se Sovè ou e Redanmtè ou, Sila Ki Pwisan a Jacob la.

17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

Olye bwonz, Mwen va pote lò; olye fè, Mwen va pote ajan; olye bwa, Mwen va pote bwonz e olye wòch, Mwen va pote fè. Anplis, Mwen va fè lapè vin chèf ou e ladwati kon konseye ou.

18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

Vyolans p ap tande ankò nan peyi ou, ni devastasyon oswa destriksyon anndan lizyè ou; men ou va rele miray ou yo: “Sali” e pòtay ou yo: “Lwanj”.

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Ou p ap sèvi solèy la pou limyè lajounen ankò, ni klate lalin a nan pou ba ou limyè; men ou va gen SENYÈ a kon yon limyè etènèl e Bondye ou kon glwa ou.

20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Solèy ou p ap bese ankò, ni lalin nan p ap febli; paske ou va gen SENYÈ a kon limyè etènèl e jou ke ou kriye ak gwo doulè yo va fini.

21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

Epi tout moun ou yo va dwat, Yo va posede peyi a jis pou tout tan; branch ke M te plante a, zèv a men M yo, pou M kapab resevwa glwa.

22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Pi piti a va devni yon gran pèp e pi piti menm nan, yon nasyon pwisan. Mwen, SENYÈ a va fè l prese rive nan lè l.”
