Isaiah 9
1 At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.
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 people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.
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 hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.
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 the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou best overcome, as in the day of Median.
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 every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.
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 For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
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 shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform 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 sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
SENYÈ a voye yon mesaj rive nan Jacob e li tonbe sou Israël.
9 And all the people of Ephraim shall know, and the inhabitants of Samaria that say in the pride and haughtiness of their heart:
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 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars.
“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 shall set up the enemies of Rasin over him, and shall bring on his enemies in a crowd:
Akoz sa, SENYÈ a fè leve kont yo advèsè ki sòti Retsin yo e chofe ènmi yo,
12 The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth, For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
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 people are not returned to him who hath struck them, and have not sought after the Lord of hosts.
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 shall destroy out of Israel the head and the tail, him that bendeth down, and him that holdeth back, in one day.
Konsa, SENYÈ a va koupe retire ni tèt ni ke sou Israël, ni branch palmis ak wozo nan yon sèl jou.
15 The aged and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Tèt la se ansyen ki byen respekte a e ke a se pwofèt ki ansegne manti a.
16 And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down headlong.
Paske sila k ap gide pèp sa yo, egare yo. Epi sila ki gide pa yo ap mennen yo antre nan gwo konfizyon.
17 Therefore the Lord shell have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his bend is stretched out still.
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 For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high.
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 By the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is troubled, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
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 shall turn to the right hand, and shall be hungry: and shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be filled: every one shell eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasses Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they together shall be against 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 After all these things his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manassé devore Éphraïm, Éphraïm devore Manassé e ansanm, yo kont Juda. Malgre tout sa, kòlè Li pa detounen e men Li toujou lonje.
