Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Men nanpwen tristès ankò pou sila ki te nan gwo lapèn nan; nan tan pase yo, Li te trete peyi Zabulon ak peyi Nephthali tankou sa ki pa t gen valè; men pi lwen, Li te fè li plenn glwa, pa lòtbò rivyè Jourdain an, Galilée a pèp etranje yo.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
Pèp ki mache nan tenèb la va wè yon gwo limyè; sila ki rete nan peyi lonbraj lamò a, limyè va fonse briye sou yo;
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Ou te fè pèp la grandi anpil; Ou ogmante kè kontan yo. Yo kontan prezans Ou. Menm jan moun yo gen kè kontan an nan rekòlt la lè y ap divize piyaj la.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Paske Ou va kraze fado ki peze sou do yo a ak baton sou zepòl yo; baton a sila ki oprime yo, tankou nan batay Madian an.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Paske tout protej gèrye a ak bwi gwo batay, ak manto ki woule nan san va sèvi pou brile, yon lwil pou dife a.
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Paske yon pitit va ne a nou menm, yon fis va bay a nou menm; epi gouvènman an va rete sou zepòl Li. Non Li va rele Konseye Mèvèye, Bondye Pwisan an, Papa Etènèl la, Prens Lapè a.
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
P ap gen fen nan gouvènman Li an ni p ap manke gen lapè sou twòn David la ak sou wayòm li an, pou etabli li e soutni l ak jistis avèk ladwati soti nan moman sa a jis rive pou tout tan. Zèl a SENYÈ dèzame yo va akonpli sa a.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
SENYÈ a voye yon mesaj rive nan Jacob e li tonbe sou Israël.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Tout pèp la va konnen sa; Éphraïm ak moun ki rete Samarie yo, k ap pale ak awogans e ak ògèy nan kè yo:
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
“Brik yo fin tonbe, men nou va rebati ak wòch taye; bwa sikomò yo fin koupe, men nou va ranplase yo ak bwa sèd.”
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a fè leve kont yo advèsè ki sòti Retsin yo e chofe ènmi yo,
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Siryen lès yo ak Filisten lwès yo; epi yo va devore Israël ak machwè ki ouvri. Malgre sa, kòlè Li p ap detounen e men L va toujou lonje.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Sepandan, pèp la p ap vire retounen kote Sila ki te frape yo a, ni yo pa chache SENYÈ dèzame yo.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
Konsa, SENYÈ a va koupe retire ni tèt ni ke sou Israël, ni branch palmis ak wozo nan yon sèl jou.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
Tèt la se ansyen ki byen respekte a e ke a se pwofèt ki ansegne manti a.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Paske sila k ap gide pèp sa yo, egare yo. Epi sila ki gide pa yo ap mennen yo antre nan gwo konfizyon.
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a pa pran plezi nan jennonm yo, ni Li pa fè pitye pou òfelen yo, ni pou vèv yo; paske yo tout se malfektè ki san Bondye e bouch yo tout ap pale nan foli. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen, e men L toujou lonje.
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Paske mechanste brile tankou dife; li manje ni pikan ni raje. Menm gwo rak bwa forè, li fè pran flanm e yo woule monte kon yon gwo kolòn lafimen.
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
Se gwo kòlè a SENYÈ dèzame yo ki brile peyi a, e se pèp la ki se lwil pou dife a. Nanpwen moun ki eseye sove frè l.
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
Yo manje sou men dwat la, men yo rete grangou; yo manje sou men goch la, men yo pa satisfè. Yo chak manje chè pwòp bra yo.
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
Manassé devore Éphraïm, Éphraïm devore Manassé e ansanm, yo kont Juda. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen e men Li toujou lonje.
