Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Ty tsara nioni’ Iesaia ana’ i Amotse ty am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime:
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
Ho tondrok’ amo andro honka’eo te haoreñe ankaboa’ o vohitseo ty vohin-anjomba’ Iehovà, honjoneñe ambone’ o haboañeo; vaho hikovovoke mb’ama’e mb’eo ze kilakila ondaty.
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
Maro ty rofòko homb’eo hanao ty hoe: Antao, hionjoñe mb’ambohi’ Iehovà, mb’añ’anjomban’Añahare’ Iakobe; hañòha’e antika o lala’eo, hañaveloan-tika o oloñolo’eo; amy te hionjoñe boake Tsione ao ty Hàke, naho boak’ Ierosalaime ao ty tsara’Iehovà.
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
Ie ty hizaka añivo’ o kilakila’ ndatio, naho hifandahatse ami’ty maro; le ho pehe’ iareo ho lelan-dasarý o fibara’ iareoo naho ho fibira miporengotse, o lefo’ iareoo; tsy hifañonjom-pibara ami’ty fifeheañe ty fifeheañe vaho tsy hioke hialy ka.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
O ry anjomba’ Iakobeo, mb’etoy, hañaveloan-tika ami’ty fireandrea’ Iehovà.
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Fa naforintse’ ondati’oo i anjomba’ Iakobey fa àtsake ty sata’ o tatiñanañeo iereo, naho o mpisikily manahake o nte-Pilistioo, vaho mifañoho-pitàñe amo anan’ambahinio.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
Pea volafoty naho volamena ty tane’ iareo; tsifotofoto ty vara’e, tsitsike soavala ka ty tane’ iareo, tsy vatse iaheñe o sarete’eo;
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
Lifo-tsamposampo ka ty tane’ iareo; italahoa’iareo o satam-pità’ iareoo, o fitolon-drambom-pità’eo.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Nafotsake ty fokonontsoa, narèke ondatio; aa le ko ihevea’o.
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Mimoaha am-bato ao, mietaha an-debok’ ao, am-pirevendreveñañe am’Iehovà, naho ami’ty enge’ i volonahe’ey.
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Hareke ty fiebotsebo’ ondatio, havokok’ ambane ty fibohabohà’ondatio, Iehovà avao ro honjoneñe amy andro zay.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
Fa manañ’andro amo mpirengevokeo naho amo mpitahebokeo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy naho amy ze hene mitoabotse; fa songa harèke;
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
naho amo mendorave’ i Lebanone iabio, o miligiligy amboneo, naho amo kile’ i Basane iabio,
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
naho amo vohitse abo iabio, naho amy ze hene haboañe mionjoñe,
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
Naho amo tilik’abo iabio, naho amo fahetse matahetseo,
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
Naho amo hene sambo’ i Tarsiseo, vaho amo sare mahafalefaleo.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Habotreke ty fitoabora’ ondaty, le haketrake ty fitrotroabora’ondatio; Iehovà avao ty honjoneñe amy andro zay.
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
Vata’e hasiots’añe o hazomangao.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Himoak’ an-davan-damilamy ao ondatio, naho an-dakato an-tane ao, ami’ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà, naho ami’ty engem-bolonahe’e, ie hiongake hañozoñozoñe ty tane toy.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
Amy andro zay, le haria’ ondatio amo sorao naho amo kananavio o hazomanga volafoty naho o hazomanga volamena nitsenè’ iareo ho fitalahoañeo.
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
Hitsifira’e an-tseram-bato ao, naho am-bato tringitringieñe ao, amy fihondrahondra’e am’ Iehovày, naho amy engem-bolonahe’ey, ie miongake hañozoñozoñe ty tane toy.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
Ko iatoa’o ondatio, o mikofòk’ an-doak’oro’eo: fa ho volilien-ko inon-dre?
