Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God! I will exalt you, and I will confess your name. For you have accomplished miracles. Your plan, from antiquity, is faithful. Amen.
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 appointed a city as a tomb, a strong city for ruination, a house of foreigners: so that it may not be a city, and so that it may not be rebuilt forever.
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 Concerning this, a strong people will praise you; a city with a robust people 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 the strength of the poor, the strength of the indigent in his tribulation, a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat. For the spirit of the mighty is like a whirlwind striking against a 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 You will bring low the uprising of foreigners, just as heat brings thirst. And like heat under a torrential cloud, you will cause the offshoot of the strong to wither away.
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 And the Lord of hosts will cause all the peoples on this mountain to feast on fatness, to feast on wine, a fatness full of marrow, a purified wine.
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 And he will cast down violently, on this mountain, the face of the chains, with which all peoples had been bound, and the net, with which all nations had been covered.
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 will violently cast down death forever. And the Lord God will take away the tears from every face, and he will take away the disgrace of his people from the entire 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 And they will say in that day: “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the Lord! We have endured for him. We will exult 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 hand of the Lord will rest upon this mountain. And Moab will be trampled under him, just as stubble is worn away by a wagon.
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 And he will extend his hands under him, like a swimmer extending his hands to swim. And he will bring down his glory with a clap 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 And the fortifications of your sublime walls will fall, and be brought low, and be torn down 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.
