Isaiah 27
1 In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va pini Leviathan ak gwo nepe a byen di. Leviathan, sèpan tòde a, kap pran flit; li va touye dragon an ki rete nan lanmè a.
2 In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
Nan jou sa a, chante pou li”Yon bèl chan rezen!
3 I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
Mwen, SENYÈ a, se jeran li. Mwen wouze li tout tan. Pou pèsòn pa fè l donmaj, Mwen veye li lajounen kon lannwit.
4 Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
Mwen pa moun lakòlè. Men si Mwen ta jwenn raje ak pikan yo, Mwen ta fè batay! Mwen ta mache sou yo, e brile yo nèt.
5 Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
Oswa, kite li depann de fòs Mwen pou l ka fè lapè avè M. Kite li fè lapè avè M.”
6 He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
Nan jou k ap vini yo, Jacob va pran rasin. Israël va fleri e boujonnen. Yo va plen tout mond lan ak fwi.
7 Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
Èske Li te frape yo, jan li te frape sa yo ki frape yo? Oswa èske se tankou masak Sila ki touye yo a, Li te touye yo?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
Ou te konfwonte yo ak egzil; ou te pouse yo ale. Ak souf fewòs Li, Li te chase yo ale nan jou van lès la.
9 Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
Akoz sa e atravè sa, inikite a Jacob la va padone. Konsa, sa va tout fwi la pou rete peche li: lè l fè lotèl wòch yo vin tankou poud wòch lakrè, pou Asherim nan ak lotèl lansan yo pa kanpe ankò.
10 For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
Paske vil fòtifye a vin sèl, yon anplasman kay ki dezole e ki vin bliye tankou dezè. Jenn bèf la va manje la, li va kouche e manje sou branch li yo.
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
Lè branch li yo vin sèch, yo vin kase yo. Fanm yo va vini pou fè dife avèk yo, paske se yon pèp san konprann. Akoz sa Kreyatè yo a p ap fè konpasyon sou yo. Li ki te fòme yo a p ap bay yo gras.
12 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a va kòmanse bat gwo rekòlt Li depi nan flèv Rivyè Euphrate la jis rive nan dlo Égypte la, e nou va vin ranmase youn pa youn, O fis Israël yo.
13 And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
Anplis, li va vin rive ke nan jou ke gran twonpèt la ap sone a, sila ki t ap peri nan peyi Assyrie yo, e ki te gaye an Égypte yo, va vin adore SENYÈ a nan mòn sen Jérusalem nan.
