< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon 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: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
Jou sa a, y'a chante yon chante sou jaden rezen k'ap bay bon diven an.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
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 Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them 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 else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him 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 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
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 Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
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 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
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 by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
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 defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
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 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at 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.
