< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that is in the sea.
Jou sa a, Seyè a pral pran gwo nepe li a ki byen file, byen solid, li pral sèvi avè l' pou l' pini levyatan an, gwo koulèv ki konn kouri kache a, gwo koulèv ki konn tòde kò l' la. L'ap touye dragon k'ap viv nan lanmè a.
2 In that day, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
Jou sa a, y'a chante yon chante sou jaden rezen k'ap bay bon diven an.
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap okipe jaden an. Se chak lè m'ap wouze l'. Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap veye l', pou pesonn pa fè l' anyen.
4 Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
Mwen pa fache avè l' ankò. Si mwen jwenn pikan ak move raje ladan l', m'a rache yo. M'a sanble yo, m'a boule yo nan dife.
5 Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?
Men, si lènmi pèp mwen an vle pou m' pwoteje yo, se pou yo vin fè lapè ak mwen. Wi, se pou yo vin fè lapè ak mwen.
6 As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
Nan jou k'ap vini yo, fanmi Jakòb la pral pouse rasin ankò, pèp Izrayèl la pral boujonnen, li pral fè flè. Li pral kouvri latè ak donn l'ap bay.
7 Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
Seyè a pa t' pini l' menm jan li te pini lènmi l' yo. Li pa t' touye moun li yo menm jan li te touye moun ki t'ap ansasinen l' yo.
8 You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
Pou l' te pini pèp la, li mete yo deyò nan peyi a, li fè depòte yo, li voye yon move van soti nan lès pote yo ale.
9 Therefore, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
Men, pou l' padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl la, se pou tout wòch lotèl zidòl yo tounen pousyè lacho, se pou yo kraze tout estati zidòl yo ansanm ak lotèl kote yo boule lansan pou yo. Se konsa li p'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè a.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
Lavil ki te gen gwo ranpa ap fin kraze. Pa gen moun ki rete la ankò. Lavil la tounen yon savann. Se la jenn bèf vin rete, se la yo manje, se la yo kouche. Y'ap manje dènye ti pous raje.
11 Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
Branch bwa yo cheche, yo kase. Medam yo ranmase yo pou fè dife. Paske pèp la pa t' konprann anyen, Bondye ki te kreye l' la p'ap gen pitye pou li. Bondye ki te fè l' la p'ap fè l' gras.
12 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons of Israel.
Jou sa a, tankou lè y'ap bat pwa sou glasi, se Seyè a menm ki pral jije tout moun nan peyi a, depi bò larivyè Lefrat la jouk ravin ki sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la. Apre sa, nou menm pitit Izrayèl yo, l'ap ranmase nou grenn pa grenn, tankou lè y'ap ranmase grenn pwa sou glasi.
13 And this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
Wi, jou sa a, y'a kònen gwo twonpèt la. Tout moun ki t'ap deperi nan peyi Lasiri, tout moun yo te depòte nan peyi Lejip yo pral tounen lakay yo. Y'ap vin adore Seyè a sou mòn ki apa pou li a, nan lavil Jerizalèm.
