< Isaiah 11 >
1 And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
Menm jan yon ti plan pouse soti nan rasin yon pyebwa yo koupe, yon ti kreyòl soti nan chouk li, se konsa tou yon wa pral soti nan ras David la.
2 The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
Lespri Bondye a pral desann sou li. L'ap ba li bon konprann ak lespri. L'ap ba li konesans ak ladrès pou l' dirije. L'ap fè l' konn Seyè a, l'ap fè l' gen krentif pou li.
3 To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.
L'a pran plezi l' pou l' obeyi Seyè a nan tout bagay. Li p'ap gade sou figi moun pou l' jije yo. Li p'ap rete sou sa yo vin di l' pou l' rann jijman.
4 And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
L'ap rann jijman pou pòv yo san patipri. L'ap defann dwa pòv malere nan peyi a san paspouki. L'ap denonse sa moun ap fè nan peyi a, l'ap pini yo. L'ap soufle ak bouch li sou mechan yo, l'ap disparèt yo.
5 And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
L'a gouvènen pèp la san patipri, l'a dirije pèp la jan sa dwe fèt!
6 “And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
Bèt nan bwa ak mouton va viv ansanm. Tig pral kouche menm kote ak jenn kabrit. Jenn ti bèf ak jenn ti lyon pral manje ansanm. Lèfini, se yon timoun ki pral okipe yo.
7 And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
Manman bèf ak manman lous va manje ansanm nan menm savann. Ti bèf ak ti lous va jwe ansanm. Lyon va manje zèb tankou bèf.
8 And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
Ti bebe nan tete va jwe devan twou koulèv. Timoun fèk sevre va lonje men yo nan bouch twou sèpan san anyen p'ap rive yo.
9 They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.”
Pesonn p'ap fè mechanste. Pesonn p'ap fè sa ki mal sou mòn ki apa pou Bondye a, sou mòn Siyon an! Paske kè tout moun nan peyi a pral plen konesans Bondye, menm jan fon lanmè a plen dlo.
10 And there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been glorious!
Yon jou gen pou vini. Lè sa a, ti kreyòl ki va soti nan chouk fanmi Izayi a va kanpe tankou yon siy pou tout nasyon yo. Moun va soti toupatou pou yo vin bò kote l'. Y'a fè lwanj li nan lavil kote l' rete a.
11 And it has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,
Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè wè fòs ponyèt li yon dezyèm fwa ankò. L'a delivre ti rès pèp li a, ponyen moun ki rete nan sa yo te depòte nan peyi Lasiri, nan peyi Lejip, ak nan tout peyi sa yo: Patwòs, Letiopi, Elam, Babilòn ak Amat, nan tout peyi lakòt yo ak nan tout zile yo.
12 And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings of the earth.
Seyè a pral leve yon drapo pou l' fè moun lòt nasyon yo wè li pral sanble tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo. L'ap ranmase tout moun pèp Jida ki te gaye toupatou sou latè yo. L'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi yo.
13 And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress Ephraim.
Moun peyi Efrayim yo p'ap fè jalouzi ankò. Peyi Jida a p'ap kenbe moun nan kè ankò. Moun peyi Efrayim yo p'ap anvye sò moun Jida yo. Moun Jida yo p'ap lènmi ankò ak moun Izrayèl yo.
14 And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
Y'ap mete ansanm, yo pral atake moun Filisti yo ki bò solèy kouche, yo pral piye moun k'ap viv bò solèy leve yo. Yo pral donminen sou peyi Edon ak sou peyi Moab. Moun peyi Amon pral soumèt devan yo.
15 And YHWH has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
Seyè a pral voye yon van cho ki pral cheche tout dlo gwo larivyè Lejip la. Li pral cheche dlo larivyè Lefrat la. L'ap fè l' tounen sèt ti kannal dlo, konsa tout moun ka janbe l' ak tout sapat nan pye yo.
16 And there has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
L'ap louvri yon gran chemen soti peyi Lasiri pou rès pèp li a k'ap viv laba a, menm jan li te fè l' pou pèp Izrayèl la jou yo t'ap soti kite Lejip la.
