Isaiah 60

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Leve kanpe! Ou pral klere tankou solèy. Pouvwa Seyè a pral klere sou ou.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

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!

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy 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.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy 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.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

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.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of 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.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

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.

Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the 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?

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

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.

And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

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.

Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

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.

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

Paske y'ap detwi tout nasyon ak tout wa ki pa vle sèvi nou yo. Y'ap kraze peyi sa yo nèt ale.

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

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.

The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, 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.

Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

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.

Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty 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.

For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

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.

Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

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.

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy 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.

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

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.

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

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.

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his 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.
