< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, nan vizyon li te fè sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm:
2 And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto 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 people 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 teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from 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 the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
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 O house of Jacob, come ye, 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 thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
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 Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
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 their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
Peyi a plen zidòl. Y'ap sèvi bagay yo fè ak men yo, bagay yo bay fòm ak dwèt yo.
9 And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
Tout moun pral bese je yo gade atè afòs yo pral wont. Pa padonnen yo, Seyè!
10 Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
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 The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: 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 Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
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 all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks 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 all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
L'ap kraze tèt gwo mòn kou ti mòn. L'ap fè yo tout vin menm wotè.
15 And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
L'ap kraze tout fò yo ak tout miray ranpa yo.
16 And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
L'ap koule tout gwo batiman peyi Tasis yo, y'ap fè fon ak tout bèl bagay yo.
17 And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, 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 idols shall be utterly destroyed.
Tout zidòl pral disparèt nèt ale.
19 And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike 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 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles 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 And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike 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.
22 Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
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?
