Isaiah 2
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah 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 it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed 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 peoples have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—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, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
Koulye a, nou menm moun fanmi Jakòb yo, annou mache nan limyè Seyè a ban nou an.
6 For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.
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 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its 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 its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its 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 the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
Tout moun pral bese je yo gade atè afòs yo pral wont. Pa padonnen yo, Seyè!
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
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 haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high 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 a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
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 for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
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 for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
L'ap kraze tèt gwo mòn kou ti mòn. L'ap fè yo tout vin menm wotè.
15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
L'ap kraze tout fò yo ak tout miray ranpa yo.
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
L'ap koule tout gwo batiman peyi Tasis yo, y'ap fè fon ak tout bèl bagay yo.
17 And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high 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 the idols—they completely pass away.
Tout zidòl pral disparèt nèt ale.
19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify 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 man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to 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 cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify 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 yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
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?
