Isaiah 60
1 Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.
Leve kanpe! Ou pral klere tankou solèy. Pouvwa Seyè a pral klere sou ou.
2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you.
Lòt nasyon yo nan fènwa, yon nwaj kouvri lòt pèp yo. Men limyè Seyè a pral leve sou nou! Pouvwa li pral parèt sou nou!
3 And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising.
Nasyon yo pral kouri vin nan limyè nou an. Tout wa yo pral kouri vin nan klète jou k'ap leve pou nou an.
4 Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side.
Voye je nou toupatou bò kote nou, gade sa k'ap rive! Tout moun pa nou yo ap sanble, y'ap tounen lakay yo. Pitit gason nou yo ap soti byen lwen. Moun ap pote pitit fi nou yo tankou timoun chita sou ren yo.
5 Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you.
Lè n'a wè sa, n'a kontan nèt ale! Kè nou pral bat, nou p'ap konn kote pou n' mete kò nou! Y'ap pote richès nasyon yo ban nou. Y'ap soti lòt bò lanmè, y'ap vin jwenn nou.
6 A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.
Y'ap ban nou kantite chamo ki soti peyi Madyan ak peyi Efa. Nou p'ap konnen kote pou n' mete yo. Moun ap soti peyi Saba, chaje lò ak lansan. Y'ap pwonmennen fè lwanj Seyè a toupatou.
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together before you; the rams of Nebaioth will minister to you. They will be offered upon my pleasing altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
Tout mouton ak kabrit peyi Keda yo ap sanble lakay nou. N'a gen belye mouton peyi Nebayòt yo pou fè sèvis. N'a ofri yo pou boule sou lotèl mwen an. Sa va fè m' plezi. Seyè a va fè kay kote fòtèy li ye a vin byen bèl ankò.
8 Who are these ones, who fly like the clouds and like doves to their windows?
Ki tout moun sa yo? Y'ap plane tankou yon nwaj nan syèl la, tankou yon bann pijon k'ap tounen vin nan kalòj yo?
9 For the islands await me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning, so that I may lead your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God and to the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
Se yon bann bato k'ap soti byen lwen, bato peyi Tasis yo devan. Y'ap mennen moun pèp Bondye a tounen lakay yo. Y'ap pote ajan ak lò ak yo an kantite, pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Paske Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki yon Bondye apa, te fè bèl bagay pou pèp li a.
10 And the sons of sojourners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you. For in my wrath, I have struck you. And in my reconciliation, I have taken pity on you.
Seyè a pale ak lavil Jerizalèm, li di l' konsa: -Se moun lòt nasyon ki pral rebati miray nou yo! Se wa yo ki pral sèvi nou domestik. Nan kòlè mwen, mwen te pini nou. Men, mwen gen pitye pou nou paske mwen gen bon kè.
11 And your gates will be open continually. They will not be closed day or night, so that the strength of the nations may be brought before you, and their kings may be lead in.
Pòtay nou yo ap rete louvri lajounen kou lannwit. Yo p'ap janm fèmen, pou wa lòt nasyon yo ka pote tout richès peyi yo lakay nou.
12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish. And the Gentiles will be devastated by solitude.
Paske y'ap detwi tout nasyon ak tout wa ki pa vle sèvi nou yo. Y'ap kraze peyi sa yo nèt ale.
13 The glory of Lebanon will arrive before you, the fir tree and the box tree and the pine tree together, to adorn the place of my sanctification. And I will glorify the place of my feet.
Y'a pote pi bèl pyebwa nan peyi Liban an, pichpen, pye sèd ak bwadòm, lakay nou pou dekore tanp ki apa pou mwen an, pou anbeli kote m' rete a.
14 And the sons of those who humiliate you will approach and will bow down before you. And all who detract you will reverence the path of your feet. And they will call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Pitit moun ki t'ap maltrete nou yo va vin jwenn nou tèt bese. Tout moun ki t'ap pase nou nan betiz pral ajenou nan pye nou. Y'a rele nou lavil Seyè a, Mòn Siyon ki pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
15 For though you were forsaken, and held in hatred, and there was no one who would pass near you, I will establish you as an everlasting glory, as a gladness from generation to generation.
Mwen p'ap vire do ban nou ankò. Yo p'ap rayi nou. Nou p'ap rete san pesonn pou vizite nou. M'ap fè moun nou yo toujou kontan wè nou. Y'a fè fèt de tit an tit.
16 And you will drink the milk of the Gentiles, and you will be nursed at the breasts of kings, and you will know that I am the Lord, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
Lòt nasyon yo ansanm ak wa yo va pran swen nou tankou yon nouris k'ap bay pitit li tete. Lè sa a n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki sove nou. Se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki delivre nou.
17 In exchange for brass, I will bring gold; and in exchange for iron, I will bring silver; and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. And I will make your visitation into peace, and your leaders into justice.
M'a fè yo pote lò pou nou nan plas kwiv. M'a fè yo pote ajan pou nou nan plas fè. N'a gen kwiv nan plas bwa, n'a gen fè nan plas wòch. Nan plas chèf ki t'ap peze nou yo, m'a mete chèf k'ap fè nou viv ak kè poze. Nan plas chèf ki t'ap souse nou yo, m'a mete chèf k'ap fè sa ki dwat.
18 Iniquity will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation and destruction in your borders. And salvation will occupy your walls, and praise will occupy your gates.
Yo p'ap tande moun fè mechanste nan peyi a ankò. Moun p'ap devalize peyi a ankò, ni moun p'ap kraze l'. M'ap sèvi nou ranpa, se mwen menm k'ap pwoteje nou. M'ap sèvi nou pòtay, n'a fè lwanj mwen.
19 The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon illuminate you. Instead, the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and your God will be your glory.
Se pa solèy la ki pral klere nou lajounen. Ni nou p'ap bezwen klète lalin lan pou klere nou lannwit. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pral sèvi nou limyè pou tout tan. Se Bondye nou an ki pral leve tèt nou.
20 Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not diminish. For the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and the days of your mourning will be completed.
Solèy nou an p'ap janm kouche ankò. Lalin nou an p'ap janm disparèt. Se Seyè a menm ki pral sèvi nou limyè pou tout tan. Jou lafliksyon nou yo fini.
21 And your people will all be just. They will inherit the earth in perpetuity, the seedling of my planting, the work of my hand, so as to glorify me.
Tout moun nan pèp nou an va fè sa ki dwat. Y'a rete nan peyi a pou tout tan. Tankou kreyòl jaden mwen, se mwen ki plante yo, se mwen ki fè yo ak men mwen, pou m' ka fè tout moun wè pouvwa mwen.
22 The least will become a thousand, and a little one will become a very strong nation. I, the Lord, will accomplish this, suddenly, in its time.
Fanmi ki pi piti nan mitan nou an pral gen mil (1.000) moun. Fanmi ki pa vo anyen an pral tounen yon gwo nasyon. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki p'ap mize fè sa, lè lè a va rive.
