< Isaiah 2 >
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Pawòl ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem.
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.
Alò, li va vin rive nan dènye jou yo, ke mòn lakay SENYÈ a va etabli kon chèf a mòn yo. Li va leve pi wo pase kolin yo, e tout nasyon yo va kouri vin jwenn 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.
Konsa, anpil pèp va vini e yo va di: Vini, annou monte nan mòn SENYÈ a, lakay Bondye a Jacob la; pou L kab enstwi nou konsènan chemen Li yo, e pou nou kapab mache nan pa Li yo. Paske lalwa a va sòti fè parèt soti nan Sion, e pawòl Bondye a soti nan Jérusalem.
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.
Li va jije pami nasyon yo, e Li va rann desizyon pou anpil pèp. Yo va frape nepe yo pou fè cha tè a, ak lans lagè pou fè kwòk imondaj yo. Nasyon p ap leve nepe kont nasyon e jis pou tout tan, yo p ap vin aprann fè lagè ankò.
5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
Vini lakay Jacob; annou mache nan limyè SENYÈ a.
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.
Paske ou te abandone pèp Ou a, lakay Jacob, akoz yo plen ak jan de panse yo ki sòti nan lès; akoz yo vin pwofèt ki swiv Filisten yo, k ap antann yo ak pitit a etranje 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,
Anplis, peyi yo vin plen ak ajan ak lò e pou richès yo, nanpwen fen. Peyi yo osi vin plen ak cheval yo, e ak cha lagè yo, nanpwen fen.
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 yo anplis plen ak zidòl; yo adore zèv men pa yo, sa ke dwèt yo te fè.
9 And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
Pou sa, lòm vin imilye; e limanite vin bese. Konsa, pa padone yo.
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
Antre nan wòch, e kache nan pousyè, kont laperèz SENYÈ a, kont mayifisans ak majeste li.
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.
Ògèy a lòm va vin bese e wotè a lòm va vin imilye. E nan jou sa a se sèl SENYÈ a k ap egzalte.
12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo va gen yon jou jijman kont nenpòt moun ki ògeye, e ki awogan; nenpòt moun ki leve tèt li wo va bese li.
13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
Epi kont tout bwa sèd Liban an ki byen wo, e ki leve tèt yo wo, kont tout chenn Basan yo.
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
Kont tout mòn wo yo, kont tout kolin ki leve wo yo,
15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
Kont tout fò wo yo, kont tout miray fòtifye yo,
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
Kont tout bato Tarsis yo, kont tout sa ki bèl pou wè 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.
Ògèy a lòm va vin imilye e wotè a lòm va vin desann. Se sèl SENYÈ a ki va egzalte nan jou sa a.
18 And the idols—they completely pass away.
Men zidòl yo va vin disparèt nèt.
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.
Tout moun va antre nan kav pami wòch yo, ak nan twou tè a, devan gran laperèz SENYÈ a, ak gwo bagay etonnan de majeste Li, lè Li leve pou 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,
Nan jou sa a, tout moun va jete deyò rat ak chòv-sourit, zidòl fèt an ajan, ak zidòl fèt an lò, ke yo te fè pou yo menm ta adore,
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.
pou yo ka antre nan kav wòch ak twou wòch nan falèz yo, pou yo pa parèt devan laperèz SENYÈ, ak gwo bagay etonan a majeste Li a, lè Li leve pou fè latè tranble.
22 Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
Sispann mete konfyans nan lòm; souf vi li se sèl nan nen l. Kisa li vo?
