Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in perfect faithfulness.
O SENYÈ, Ou se Bondye mwen. Mwen va leve Ou byen wo! Mwen va bay remèsiman a non Ou, paske Ou te fè gwo mèvèy; plan yo ki te fòme depi lontan, avèk tout fidelite ak verite.
2 For you have made the city a heap, a fortified city, a ruin, and a fortress of strangers into no city.
Paske Ou te fè yon gran vil vin tounen yon gwo pil wòch, yon vil byen fòtifye vin detwi nèt. Yon palè pou etranje yo pa yon vil ankò; li p ap janm rebati.
3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you; a city of ruthless nations will fear you.
Akoz sa, yon pèp byen fò va bay Ou glwa. Gran vil a nasyon ki mechan yo va fè Ou omaj.
4 For you have been a place of safety for the one who is poor, a shelter for the one who is needy in his distress— a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. When the breath of the ruthless was like a storm against a wall,
Ou te toujou yon abri pou sila ki san sekou yo; yon defans pou malere nan gwo twoub la, yon pwotèj kont tanpèt, lonbraj kont chalè. Paske souf a mechan yo se tankou gwo tanpèt lapli kont yon miray.
5 and like heat in a dry land, you subdued the noise of foreigners, as the heat is subdued by the shade of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless ones is answered.
Tankou chalè nan gwo sechrès, Ou fè bese zen a etranje yo; tankou chalè toupre lonbraj a yon nwaj, chanson a malveyan an vin bese ba.
6 On this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, of choice wines, of tender meats, a feast on the lees.
SENYÈ dèzame yo va prepare yon gwo bankè pou tout pèp sou mòn sa a; yon bankè diven rasi, mòso chwazi ak mwèl zo, diven byen rafine.
7 He will destroy on this mountain the covering over all peoples, the web woven over all the nations.
Sou mòn sa a, Li va vale nèt kouvèti pwotèj ki sou tout pèp yo, menm vwal la ki tann sou tout nasyon yo.
8 He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces; the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
Li te vale lanmò jis pou tout tan! Senyè BONDYE a va siye tout dlo nan zye a tout moun e li va retire repwòch a pèp Li a sou tout latè. Paske SENYÈ a te pale.
9 It will be said on that day, “Look, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us. This is Yahweh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
Konsa, li va pale nan jou sa a, “Gade byen, sa se Bondye nou an! Sila nou te tann pou L te ka sove nou an! Sa se SENYÈ a! Sila nou t ap tann nan! Annou rejwi e fè kè kontan nan sali Li a!”
10 For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest; and Moab will be trampled down in his place, even as straw is trampled down in a pit filled with manure.
Paske men SENYÈ a va rete sou mòn sa a. Epi Moab va foule kote li ye, tankou pay fin foule nan dlo a yon pil fimye.
11 They will spread their hands in the midst of it, as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim. But Yahweh will bring down their pride in spite of the skill of their hands.
L ap ouvri men l byen gran nan mitan li kon yon moun k ap naje ta lonje men l yo pou naje; men SENYÈ a va desann ògèy li ansanm ak manèv koken a men li yo.
12 Your high fortress walls he will bring down to the ground, to the dust.
L ap desann ranfòsman fò ki pa t ka menm pwoche la, li va anile yo, bese yo e jete yo atè, jis rive nan pousyè.
