Isaiah 60
1 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.
“Leve, briye; paske limyè ou fin parèt e glwa a SENYÈ a fin leve sou ou.
2 Though darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the nations; yet Yahweh will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen on you.
Paske gade byen, tenèb va kouvri latè e pwofon tenèb tout pèp yo. Men SENYÈ a va vin leve sou ou, e glwa li va parèt sou ou.
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright light that is rising.
Nasyon yo va vin kote limyè ou a, e wa yo nan klète lè ou leve a.
4 Look all around and see. They all gather themselves together and come to you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be carried in their arms.
“Leve zye ou toupatou e gade; yo tout rasanble ansanm; yo vin kote ou. Fis ou yo va vini soti lwen, e fi ou yo va pote nan bra yo.
5 Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart shall rejoice and overflow, because the abundance of the sea will be poured out to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
Epi ou va wè, ou va plen ak limyè; kè ou va kontan e ou va rejwi. Paske abondans lanmè a va vire vè ou; gran richès a nasyon yo va rive kote ou.
6 Camel caravans will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all of them will come from Sheba; they will bring gold and frankincense, and will sing the praises of Yahweh.
Anpil chamo va kouvri ou, jenn chamo a Madian ak Épha yo. Tout sila soti Séba yo va vini. Yo va pote lò ak lansan, e yo va pote bòn nouvèl a, lwanj a SENYÈ a.
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve your needs; they will be acceptable offerings on my altar; and I will glorify my glorious house.
Tout bann mouton Kédar yo va rasanble kote ou. Belye a Nebajoth yo va sèvi ou; yo va vin aksepte pou monte sou lotèl Mwen an, e Mwen va glorifye kay Mwen an ki plen lonè ak mayifisans.
8 Who are these who fly along like a cloud, and like the doves to their shelters?
“Se kilès sa yo ki vole tankou yon nwaj ak tankou toutrèl vè fenèt pa yo?
9 The coastlands look for me, and the ships of Tarshish lead, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has honored you.
Anverite, peyi kot yo va tann Mwen; gwo bato Tarsis yo va vini premyèman pou mennen fis ou yo soti lwen; ajan ak lò yo avèk yo, pou non SENYÈ Bondye ou a e pou Sila Ki Sen an Israël la, akoz Li te bay ou glwa.
10 Sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; though in my wrath I punished you, yet in my favor I will have compassion on you.
“Etranje yo va bati, fòtifye miray ou yo, epi wa pa yo va fè sèvis pa yo. Paske nan kòlè Mwen, Mwen te frape ou e nan gras Mwen, Mwen te fè ou mizerikòd.
11 Your gates also will remain open continually; they will not be shut day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought, with their kings being led.
Pòtay ou yo va vin louvri nèt tout tan; yo p ap fèmen ni lajounen, ni lannwit, pou yo kapab pote bay ou richès a tout nasyon yo, ak wa yo kon kaptif.
12 Indeed, nations and kingdoms that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be completely destroyed.
Paske nasyon ak wayòm ki p ap sèvi ou a va peri; wi, nasyon sa yo va fin detwi nèt.
13 The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress tree, the fir, and the cypress box tree together, to beautify my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
“Glwa a Liban an va rive kote ou, bwa pichpen an, bwa sèd ak bwa blan pou anbeli plas sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen va fè plas pye Mwen yo vin plen glwa.
14 They will come to you to bow down, the sons of those who humbled you; they will bow at your feet; they will call you The City of Yahweh, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Fis a sila ki te aflije ou yo va vin bese devan ou e tout sila ki te meprize ou yo va bese yo menm devan pla pye ou. Yo va rele ou vil SENYÈ a, Sion a Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.
15 Instead of you remaining abandoned and hated, with no one passing through you, I will make you a thing of pride forever, a joy from generation to generation.
“Konsi, ou te abandone e rayi, pou pèsòn pa pase ladann, Mwen va fè ou vin plen ak majeste, yon objè lajwa de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
16 You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Anplis, ou va souse lèt a nasyon yo, e ou va souse tete a wa yo. Konsa, ou va konnen ke Mwen, SENYÈ a, se Sovè ou e Redanmtè ou, Sila Ki Pwisan a Jacob la.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will appoint peace as your governors, and justice your rulers.
Olye bwonz, Mwen va pote lò; olye fè, Mwen va pote ajan; olye bwa, Mwen va pote bwonz e olye wòch, Mwen va pote fè. Anplis, Mwen va fè lapè vin chèf ou e ladwati kon konseye ou.
18 Violence will no longer be heard in your land, or devastation nor shattering within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
Vyolans p ap tande ankò nan peyi ou, ni devastasyon oswa destriksyon anndan lizyè ou; men ou va rele miray ou yo: “Sali” e pòtay ou yo: “Lwanj”.
19 The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory.
Ou p ap sèvi solèy la pou limyè lajounen ankò, ni klate lalin a nan pou ba ou limyè; men ou va gen SENYÈ a kon yon limyè etènèl e Bondye ou kon glwa ou.
20 Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon withdraw and disappear; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended.
Solèy ou p ap bese ankò, ni lalin nan p ap febli; paske ou va gen SENYÈ a kon limyè etènèl e jou ke ou kriye ak gwo doulè yo va fini.
21 All your people will be righteous; they will take possession of the land for all time, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Epi tout moun ou yo va dwat, Yo va posede peyi a jis pou tout tan; branch ke M te plante a, zèv a men M yo, pou M kapab resevwa glwa.
22 The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will swiftly accomplish these things when the time comes.
Pi piti a va devni yon gran pèp e pi piti menm nan, yon nasyon pwisan. Mwen, SENYÈ a va fè l prese rive nan lè l.”
