Isaiah 2
1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
Vitu ambavyo Isaya mtoto Amozi alivijua katika maono, kuhusu Yuda na Yerusalemu.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”
Nyumba ya Yakobo, njooni, na tutembee katika mwanga wa Yahwe.
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.
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 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,
Nchi yao imejaa fedha na dhahabu, na hakuna mipaka katika utajiri wao; nchi yao pia imejaa farasi, wala hakuna mipika ya magari.
8 And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,
Nchi yao pia imejaa sanamu; wanaabu utengenezaji wa mikono yao wenyewe, vitu aambavyo vidole vyao vimetengeneza.
9 And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.
Watu watainama chini, na kila mmoja atanguka chini; hivyo basi msiwanyanyue juu.
10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.
Nendeni maeneo yenye miamba na mjifiche kwenye aridhi kwa hofu ya Yahwe na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake.
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.
Mtu anaye tazama kwa kujivuna atashushw chini, na kiburi cha watu kitashushwa chini, na Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
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 for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
na dhidi ya mierezi ya Lebanoni iliyo juu na kupandishwa juu, na dhidi ya mialoni ya Bashani.
14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
Siku hiyo ya Yahwe wa majeshi itakuwa dhidi ya milima yote mirefu, na dhidi ya vilima vyote vilivyonyanyuliwa juu,
15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,
na dhidi ya minara mirefu, na dhidi ya kila ukutaunaojitokeza,
16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
na dhidi ya merikebu zote za Tarshishi, na dhidi ya vyombo vizuri vya meli.
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.
Kiburi cha mwanaume kitashushwa chini, na kiburi cha wanaume kitaanguka; Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
18 And the idols—they completely pass away.
Sanamu zote zitaondolewa.
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.
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 man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to 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 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.
Watu wataingia kwenye miamba kupitia mwanya itakuwa miamba chakavu, kwa hofu ya Yahwe na utukufu wa enzi yake,
22 Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?
usimwaminia mtu, ambae pumzi yake inatokea katika pua yake, ni kwa kiasi gan?
