Isaiah 9
1 For not gloom [will belong] to [that] which distress [belonged] to it like the time former he treated with contempt [the] land of Zebulun and [the] land of Naphtali and the latter [time] he will make honored [the] way of the sea [the] other side of the Jordan Galilee of the nations.
Te gen yon lè, peyi fanmi Zabilon yo ak peyi fanmi Neftali yo t'ap drive nan labou. Men pita, va rive yon lè tout rejyon an, pran depi lanmè Meditèrane rive bò larivyè Jouden, moute peyi Galile kote moun lòt nasyon yo rete a, tout rejyon an va kanpe ankò.
2 The people which walk in the darkness they will see a light great [those who] dwell in a land of deep darkness a light it will shine on them.
Pèp ki t'ap mache nan fènwa a wè yon gwo limyè. Yo te rete nan yon peyi kouvri ak fènwa. Men, koulye a yon limyè vin klere yo!
3 You will multiply the nation (to it *Q(K)*) you will magnify the rejoicing they will rejoice before you like [the] rejoicing at the harvest just as people are glad when divide they plunder.
Ou fè yo vin anpil, Seyè! Ou ba yo gwo kè kontan. Yo te kontan wè sa ou fè pou yo, tankou moun k'ap fè fèt lè sezon rekòt, tankou moun k'ap fè gwo fèt lè y'ap separe sa yo pran nan lagè.
4 For - [the] yoke of burden its and [the] staff of shoulder its [the] rod of the [one who] oppresses it you will shatter like [the] day of Midian.
Paske ou kraze bout bwa ki te mare dèyè kou yo a, baton ki t'ap peze zepòl yo a! Wi, Seyè! Ou kraze bout fè nan men moun ki t'ap fè yo pase tray la, tankou jou lè ou te kraze moun Madyan yo!
5 For every boot [which] marches with shaking and cloak rolled in blood and it will be for burning fuel of a fire.
Tout soulye sòlda ki t'ap plede fè bri yo, tout rad sòlda ki te plen san yo, yo pral boule sa nan dife.
6 For a child he will be born to us a son he will be given to us and it was the dominion on shoulder his and someone called name his a wonder a counselor God mighty father of perpetuity prince of peace.
Nou gen yon ti pitit ki fenk fèt. Bondye ban nou yon gason. Se li menm ki pral chèf nou. Y'a rele l': Bon konseye k'ap fè bèl bagay la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Papa ki la pou tout tan an, Wa k'ap bay kè poze a!
7 (To [the] increase of *Q(K)*) the dominion and to peace there not [will be] an end on [the] throne of David and over kingdom his to establish it and to sustain it in justice and in righteousness from now and until perpetuity [the] zeal of Yahweh of hosts it will accomplish this.
Gouvènman li p'ap gen finisman. Nan peyi l'ap gouvènen an se va kè poze san rete. L'ap chita sou fotèy wa David la. L'ap gouvènen peyi wa David la. L'ap fè gouvènman an byen chita, l'ap ba li bon pye paske l'ap fè sa ki dwat. Li p'ap nan patipri, depi koulye a jouk sa kaba. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki soti pou fè tou sa rive vre!
8 A word he has sent [the] Lord in Jacob and it will fall on Israel.
Seyè a fè konnen desizyon l' sou peyi Izrayèl la ak sou moun fanmi Jakòb yo.
9 And they will know the people all of it Ephraim and [the] inhabitant[s] of Samaria with pride and with greatness of heart saying.
Tout pèp Izrayèl la, tout moun ki rete lavil Samari yo va konn sa l' te di a. Men, yo sitèlman gen lògèy, yo sitèlman awogan, y'ap di:
10 Bricks they have fallen and hewn [stone] we will rebuild sycamores they have been cut down and cedars we will substitute.
Kay brik yo kraze, n'a bati lòt ak wòch taye. Yo koupe poto sikomò yo jete, n'a fè lòt ak bwa sèd mete nan plas yo.
11 And he set on high Yahweh [the] opponents of Rezin against him and enemies his he provoked.
Seyè a fè lènmi pèp Izrayèl la leve dèyè l'. L'ap fè chèf lame wa Rezen lan atake l'.
12 Aram from [the] east and Philistines from [the] west and they consumed Israel with all [the] mouth for all this not it has turned back anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Peyi Lasiri sou bò solèy leve, peyi Filisti sou bò solèy kouche, y'ap devore pèp Izrayèl la ak gwo koutdan. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo.
13 And the people not it has turned back to the [one who] struck it and Yahweh of hosts not they have sought.
Pèp Izrayèl la pa chanje. Yo pa tounen vin jwenn moun ki t'ap pini yo a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
14 And he cut off Yahweh from Israel head and tail palm branch and bulrush day one.
Yon sèl jou a, Seyè a ap koupe ni tèt pèp Izrayèl la ni ke l'. L'ap pini tout chèf pèp la, gwo kou piti.
15 An old [man] and [one] uplifted of face he [is] the head and a prophet [who] teaches falsehood he [is] the tail.
Chèf fanmi yo ak notab yo, se yo ki tèt pèp la. Ke a menm, se pwofèt yo, papa mantò!
16 And they were [the] guides the people this misleading and [those who] were guided by him [were] confused.
Moun k'ap dirije pèp la fè l' pèdi chemen l'. Pèp la lage kò l' nan bwa.
17 There-fore on young men its not he rejoices - [the] Lord and fatherless ones its and widows its not he has compassion on for all of it [is] godless and doing evil and every mouth [is] speaking disgraceful folly for all this not it has turned back anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a p'ap pran priyè nan men jenn gason yo. L'ap san pitye pou timoun ki san papa yo ak fanm ki pèdi mari yo, paske se tout pèp la nèt ki pa gen respè pou Bondye, yo tout ap fè mechanste. Se renk move pawòl ase ki nan bouch yo. Men se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo.
18 For it has burned like fire wickedness thorn[s] and bush[es] it consumes and it has kindled [the] thickets of the forest and they have swirled a rising up of smoke.
Mechanste kaye nan mitan pèp la, tankou dife nan pikan ak nan raje. Dife a pran nan rakbwa yo, yo tounen lafimen k'ap moute nan syèl la.
19 By [the] wrath of Yahweh of hosts it has been scorched [the] land and it was the people like fuel of a fire each brother his not they spared.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a te sitèlman move, li fini ak peyi a. Se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout moun nan peyi a. Pesonn pa ka sove pesonn.
20 And it devoured on [the] right [side] and it was hungry and it ate on [the] left [side] and not they were satisfied everyone [the] flesh of own arm his they ate.
Yo vire adwat, yo pran sa yo jwenn, yo grangou toujou. Yo vire agoch, yo devore sa yo jwenn, se atò yo grangou. Yo menm rive manje pwòp pitit yo!
21 Manasseh Ephraim and Ephraim Manasseh together they on Judah for all this not it has turned back anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Moun Manase yo ak moun Efrayim yo, yonn ap devore lòt. Lèfini, yo mete tèt ansanm pou atake moun Jida yo. Men, se poko sa toujou! Se atò Seyè a move. Li poko fin regle ak yo!
