Isaiah 2
1 The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
Vitu ambavyo Isaya mtoto Amozi alivijua katika maono, kuhusu Yuda na Yerusalemu.
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.
Na itakuwa katika siku za mwisho, ule mlima wa nyumba ya Yahwe itaanzishwa kama mlima mrefu zaidi, na utanyanyuliwa juu ya vilima, na mataifa yote yatakusanyika pale.
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.
Watu wengi watakuja na kusema, ''Njooni, twendeni juu ya mlima wa Yahwe, kwenye nyumba ya Mungu wa Yakobo, kwa hiyo anaweza kutufundisha baadhi ya njia zake na tunaweza kutembea katika njia zake.'' Nje ya Sayuni itaenda sheria na neno la Yahwe litatoka Yerualemu.
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.
Atahukumu kati ya mataifa na atatoa maamuzi kwa watu wote; watayapiga nyungo mapanga yao kuwa majembe, na mikiku yao kama ya kukatia ndoano; taifa halitanyanyua upanga juu ya taifa lingine, na wala hawata jiandaa kwa vita tena.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Nyumba ya Yakobo, njooni, na tutembee katika mwanga wa Yahwe.
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.
Kwa maana mmewatekeleza watu wenu, nyumba ya Yakobo, wamejazwa na desturi kutoka mashariki na dalili kutokea kama mfilisti, na watasalimiana kwa mikono na wana wa wageni.
7 Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
Nchi yao imejaa fedha na dhahabu, na hakuna mipaka katika utajiri wao; nchi yao pia imejaa farasi, wala hakuna mipika ya magari.
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.
Nchi yao pia imejaa sanamu; wanaabu utengenezaji wa mikono yao wenyewe, vitu aambavyo vidole vyao vimetengeneza.
9 And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
Watu watainama chini, na kila mmoja atanguka chini; hivyo basi msiwanyanyue juu.
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.
Nendeni maeneo yenye miamba na mjifiche kwenye aridhi kwa hofu ya Yahwe na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake.
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.
Mtu anaye tazama kwa kujivuna atashushw chini, na kiburi cha watu kitashushwa chini, na Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
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.
Maana kutakuwa na siku ya Yahwe wa majeshi juu ya yeyote anayejigamba na kujiinua juu, na dhidi ya yeyote mwenye kiburi na atashushwa chini-
13 And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
na dhidi ya mierezi ya Lebanoni iliyo juu na kupandishwa juu, na dhidi ya mialoni ya Bashani.
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
Siku hiyo ya Yahwe wa majeshi itakuwa dhidi ya milima yote mirefu, na dhidi ya vilima vyote vilivyonyanyuliwa juu,
15 And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
na dhidi ya minara mirefu, na dhidi ya kila ukutaunaojitokeza,
16 And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
na dhidi ya merikebu zote za Tarshishi, na dhidi ya vyombo vizuri vya meli.
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.
Kiburi cha mwanaume kitashushwa chini, na kiburi cha wanaume kitaanguka; Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
18 And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
Sanamu zote zitaondolewa.
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.
Wanaume wataingia kwenye mapango ya miamba na mashimo ya aridhi, kwa hofu ya Yahwe, na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake, atakapo nyanyuka na kuitisha nchi.
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.
Siku hiyo watu watatupa sanamu zao za fedha na dhahabu ambazo wametengeneza wenyewe kwa ajili ya kuabudia - watazitupa mbali kwa fuko na popo.
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.
Watu wataingia kwenye miamba kupitia mwanya itakuwa miamba chakavu, kwa hofu ya Yahwe na utukufu wa enzi yake,
22 Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
usimwaminia mtu, ambae pumzi yake inatokea katika pua yake, ni kwa kiasi gan?
