Isaiah 25
1 The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
Seyè, se ou ki Bondye mwen! M'a di jan ou gen gwo pouvwa, m'a fè lwanj ou! Ou fè anpil bèl bagay. Plan travay ou te fè nan tèt ou depi lontan an, ou reyalize l' nèt, jan ou te vle l' la.
2 For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.
Ou fè tout lavil tounen pil wòch, lavil ki te gen gwo ranpa tounen vye kay kraze. Sitadèl lènmi yo te bati a disparèt. Yo p'ap janm ka rebati l' ankò.
3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
Se poutèt sa, moun gwo nasyon yo ap fè lwanj ou. Lwijanboje ki rete nan lavil gwo peyi yo va gen krentif pou ou.
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
Paske ou te sèvi pwoteksyon pou moun ki fèb, yon pwoteksyon pou malere lè yo te nan tray. Se bò kote ou yo pare lapli. Se anba lonbraj ou yo pare solèy. Lè mechan yo move, yo tankou gwo lapli loraj k'ap tonbe nan tan fredi.
5 As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
Yo tankou gwo solèy k'ap boule yon tè sèk. Men, Seyè, ou kase fe lènmi nou yo. Ou fè tout mechan yo fèmen bouch yo. Ou fè yo frèt tankou lè gwo nwaj bare solèy la nan sezon chalè.
6 In this mountain, the LORD of Hosts will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pral fè yon gwo fèt sou mòn Siyon an pou tout nasyon ki sou latè, avèk bèl plat manje byen pare ak bonjan vyann gra. L'ap sèvi bon kalite diven ki la depi lontan.
7 He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
Se sou mòn sa a li pral wete gwo vwal ki te sou tèt tout nasyon yo, vwal ki te ba yo kè sere a.
8 He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it.
Seyè a pral fè pa janm gen lanmò ankò. Li pral siye dlo nan je tout moun. Li pral wete lawont sa a ki te sou pèp li a toupatou sou latè. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa!
9 It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”
Jou sa a, tout moun va di: Se li menm ki Bondye nou. Nou te mete tout espwa nou nan li. Li delivre nou! Se li menm ki Seyè a! Nou te mete konfyans nou nan li. Ann fè kè nou kontan. Ann fè fèt, paske li delivre nou.
10 For the LORD’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
Seyè a ap pwoteje mòn Siyon an. Men, l'ap pilonnen moun peyi Moab yo anba pye l', menm jan yo pilonnen pay nan labou pak bèt.
11 He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
Nan mitan labou a, y'a lonje bra yo tankou si yo ta vle naje soti. Men Seyè a pral kraze lògèy yo, l'ap defèt tou sa yo te fè ak men yo.
12 He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
L'ap kraze gwo ranpa byen wo yo te bati sou miray yo, l'ap jete yo plat atè, l'ap fè yo tounen pousyè.
