< Isaiah 9 >
1 In the firste tyme the lond of Zabulon and the lond of Neptalym was releessid; and at the laste the weie of the see biyende Jordan of Galile of hethene men was maad heuy.
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 puple that yede in derknessis siy a greet liyt; whanne men dwelliden in the cuntre of schadewe of deth, liyt roos vp to hem.
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 Thou multipliedist folk, thou magnefiedist not gladnesse; thei schulen be glad bifore thee, as thei that ben glad in heruest, as ouercomeris maken ful out ioie, whanne thei han take a prey, whanne thei departen the spuylis.
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 For thou hast ouercome the yok of his birthun, and the yerde of his schuldre, and the ceptre of his wrongful axere, as in the day of Madian.
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 whi al violent raueyn with noise, and a cloth meddlid with blood schal be in to brennyng, and `schal be the mete of fier.
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 Forsothe a litil child is borun to vs, and a sone is youun to vs, and prinsehod is maad on his schuldre; and his name schal be clepid Wondurful, A counselour, God, Strong, A fadir of the world to comynge, A prince of pees.
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 His empire schal be multiplied, and noon ende schal be of his pees; he schal sitte on the seete of Dauid, and on the rewme of hym, that he conferme it, and make stronge in doom and riytfulnesse, fro hennus forth and til in to with outen ende. The feruent loue of the Lord of oostis schal make 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 sente a word in to Jacob, and it felle in Israel.
SENYÈ a voye yon mesaj rive nan Jacob e li tonbe sou Israël.
9 And al the puple of Effraym schal wite, and thei that dwellen in Samarie, seiynge in the pride and greetnesse of herte,
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 Tijl stoonys fellen doun, but we schulen bilde with square stoonys; thei han kit doun sicomoris, but we schulen chaunge cedris.
“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 the Lord schal reise the enemyes of Rasyn on hym, and he schal turne the enemyes of hym in to noyse;
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a fè leve kont yo advèsè ki sòti Retsin yo e chofe ènmi yo,
12 God schal make Sirie to come fro the eest, and Filisteis fro the west; and with al the mouth thei schulen deuoure Israel. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of the Lord is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
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 puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it, and thei souyten not the Lord of oostis.
Sepandan, pèp la p ap vire retounen kote Sila ki te frape yo a, ni yo pa chache SENYÈ dèzame yo.
14 And the Lord schal leese fro Israel the heed and the tail; crokynge and bischrewynge, ether refreynynge, in o dai.
Konsa, SENYÈ a va koupe retire ni tèt ni ke sou Israël, ni branch palmis ak wozo nan yon sèl jou.
15 An elde man and onourable, he is the heed, and a profete techynge a leesyng, he is the tail.
Tèt la se ansyen ki byen respekte a e ke a se pwofèt ki ansegne manti a.
16 And thei that blessen his puple, schulen be disseyueris, and thei that ben blessid, schulen be cast doun.
Paske sila k ap gide pèp sa yo, egare yo. Epi sila ki gide pa yo ap mennen yo antre nan gwo konfizyon.
17 For this thing the Lord schal not be glad on the yonge men therof, and he schal not haue merci on the fadirles children and widewis therof; for ech man is an ypocrite and weiward, and ech mouth spak foli. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
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 and the puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it. For whi wickidnesse is kyndlid as fier; it schal deuoure the breris and thornes, and it schal be kyndlid in the thickenesse of the forest, and it schal be wlappid togidere in the pride 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 wraththe of the Lord of oostis the lond schal be disturblid, and the puple schal be as the mete of fier; a man schal not spare his brothir.
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 he schal boowe to the riyt half, and he schal hungre, and he schal ete at the left half, and he schal not be fillid; ech man schal deuoure the fleisch of his arm. Manasses schal deuoure Effraym, and Effraym `schal deuoure Manasses, and thei togidere ayens Juda.
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 In alle these thingis the strong veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hoond is stretchid forth.
Manassé devore Éphraïm, Éphraïm devore Manassé e ansanm, yo kont Juda. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen e men Li toujou lonje.
