Isaiah 32

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

Yon jou, va gen yon wa k'ap gouvènen peyi a san patipri. Chèf yo va dirije peyi a jan sa dwe fèt.

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Yo chak pral tankou kote moun al kache pou move van, tankou kote moun al kache pou van tanpèt. Y'ap tankou yon sous dlo k'ap koule nan dezè, tankou yon kokenn wòch k'ap bay lonbray kote ki pa gen dlo.

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

Je tout moun va louvri pou yo wè sa k'ap pase. Zòrèy tout moun va louvri pou yo konnen sa k'ap fèt nan peyi a.

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Moun kè cho yo va pran san yo pou yo konprann anvan yo aji. Moun bege yo pral pale byen klè pou tout moun konprann.

The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

P'ap gen moun k'ap asepte pran moun sòt pou moun debyen, ni bakoulou pou bon moun.

For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

Moun sòt yo ap plede di yon bann vye koze san sans. Y'ap fè move lide nan tèt yo. Konsa, y'ap fè bagay Bondye pa vle moun fè, y'ap bay manti sou Bondye. Yo p'ap janm bay moun ki grangou yon ti manje, yo p'ap janm bay moun ki swaf dlo yon ti gout dlo pou yo bwè.

The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

Bakoulou, se koken k'ap fè mechanste. L'ap fè move plan nan tèt li pou l' woule pòv malere yo anba manti, pou l' enpoze endijan yo jwenn jistis.

But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Men, bon moun, se toujou sa ki byen l'ap chache fè, li p'ap janm fè anyen ki pa sa.

Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

Nou menm medam k'ap viv alèz yo, leve non. Koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm medam ki san pwoblèm yo, louvri zòrèy nou tande sa m'ap di:

Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

Bann paresèz, nan ennan ankò, nou pral nan kont traka nou, paske p'ap gen rezen pou nou keyi, p'ap gen rekòt rezen k'ap fèt.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

Bann byennerèz, nou pral nan ka! Bann paresèz, nou pral tranble! Wete rad sou nou, rete toutouni, mare ren nou ak ranyon,

They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

paske nou pral nan lapenn lè n'a chonje bèl jaden ak bèl grap rezen nou yo, lè n'a wè se pikan ak raje k'ap pouse nan tout jaden pèp mwen an.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

Nou pral kriye lè n'a chonje tout kay kote moun yo te konn gen kè kontan nan lavil ki te gen anpil aktivite a.

Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

Kay wa a ap rete san pesonn ladan l'. Tout moun pral kouri kite kapital la. Bit mòn Ofèl la ak fò ki t'ap pwoteje l' la pral tounen savann pou tout tan. Se la bourik mawon pral pran plezi yo, se la kabrit ak mouton pral chache manje.

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

Men, Bondye gen pou l' voye lespri li desann sou nou ankò. Dezè a va tounen yon bon venn tè. Jaden nou yo va bay bèl rekòt.

Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

Toupatou nan peyi a, nan dezè a kou nan jaden yo, p'ap gen lenjistis, ni patipri.

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Paske tout moun ap fè sa ki dwat, y'a viv ak kè poze, san danje ni malè pou tout tan.

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

Pèp Bondye a va rete lakay yo ak kè poze, san danje. Yo p'ap gen pwoblèm.

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

Men lagrèl pral tonbe sou gwo rakbwa a. Yo pral kraze lavil la.

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

Ala kontan n'a kontan jwenn kont dlo nou pou fè jaden! Lè sa a, nou p'ap bezwen mete bèf ak bourik nou yo nan kòd ankò!
