< Esias 2 >
1 The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, nan vizyon li te fè sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm:
2 For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
Yon tan gen pou rive! Lè sa a, mòn kote Tanp lan ye a, va pi wo pase tout lòt mòn yo. L'ap kanpe byen wo nan mitan mòn yo. Moun va soti nan tout peyi an kantite vin sou li.
3 And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
Anpil moun lòt nasyon va mache vini. Y'a di: -Ann ale sou mòn Seyè a! Ann al nan Tanp Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! L'a moutre nou jan li vle nou viv la. Konsa n'a mache nan chemen l'ap mete devan nou an. Paske, Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon an, l'ap bay lòd li. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale ak pèp li a.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
L'ap regle tout kont nasyon yo gen yonn ak lòt. L'ap jije tout gwo peyi yo. Y'a pran mato, y'a fè zam yo tounen zouti pou travay tè. Y'a fè nepe yo tounen kouto digo. Nasyon yo p'ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt ankò. Yo p'ap janm aprann fè lagè ankò.
5 And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Koulye a, nou menm moun fanmi Jakòb yo, annou mache nan limyè Seyè a ban nou an.
6 For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
Bondye, ou te lage pèp ou a, moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Peyi yo a plen moun k'ap fè divinò, plen moun k'ap li nan zetwal. Peyi a tounen tankou peyi moun Filisti yo. Tout moun nan peyi a ap swiv vye mès moun lòt nasyon yo.
7 For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
Peyi a plen ajan ak lò. Richès pèyi a pa gen limit. Peyi a plen chwal. Ou pa ka konte kantite cha pou fè lagè yo genyen.
8 And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
Peyi a plen zidòl. Y'ap sèvi bagay yo fè ak men yo, bagay yo bay fòm ak dwèt yo.
9 And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
Tout moun pral bese je yo gade atè afòs yo pral wont. Pa padonnen yo, Seyè!
10 Now therefore enter ye into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
Yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch. Yo pral fouye twou anba tè pou yo chape anba kòlè Seyè a. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li va parèt aklè.
11 For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
Yon jou gen pou vini! Lè sa a, p'ap gen moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun ankò! P'ap gen moun k'ap fè awogan ankò sou moun! Jou sa a, Seyè a va sèl chèf.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
Wi, jou sa a, se va jou Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a! L'ap fè tout moun ki t'ap gonfle lestonmak yo bese je yo gade atè ansanm ak tout moun ki t'ap fè awogan yo ak tout grannèg yo.
13 and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
L'ap detwi tout gwo pye sèd ki byen wo nan peyi Liban an, tout gwo pye bwadchenn ki byen wo nan peyi Bazan an.
14 and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
L'ap kraze tèt gwo mòn kou ti mòn. L'ap fè yo tout vin menm wotè.
15 and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
L'ap kraze tout fò yo ak tout miray ranpa yo.
16 and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
L'ap koule tout gwo batiman peyi Tasis yo, y'ap fè fon ak tout bèl bagay yo.
17 And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
P'ap gen moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun ankò! P'ap gen moun k'ap fè awogan ankò sou moun! Lè jou sa a va rive, Seyè a va sèl chèf.
18 And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
Tout zidòl pral disparèt nèt ale.
19 having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
Yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch. Yo pral fouye twou anba tè pou yo chape anba kòlè Bondye. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li ap parèt aklè, lè Seyè a va leve pou l' fè tè a tranble.
20 For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
Jou sa a, moun va pran tout zidòl yo te fè an ajan ak an lò pou fè sèvis pou yo, y'a voye yo jete bay rat ak chovsourit.
21 to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
Lè Seyè a va vini pou l' fè tè a tranble, yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch, yo pral fouye twou anba tè. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li ap parèt aklè.
Pa mete konfyans nou nan moun parèy nou! Talè yo pa pèdi souf yo, yo pa mouri! Lè sa a, kisa yo ka fè pou nou ankò?
