< Isaiah 2 >
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Esiae nye gbedeasi bubu si Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi la, xɔ tso Yehowa gbɔ, tso Yuda kple Yerusalem ŋuti.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mount of the LORD’S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
Le ŋkeke mamlɛawo me la, woaɖo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la gɔme anyi ɖe eƒe to la dzi, be wòanye to si aƒo towo katã ta, woakɔe ɖe dzi wòagbɔ togbɛwo katã ta, eye xexemedukɔwo katã aƒo zi ɖe eŋu.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Ame geɖewo ava agblɔ be, “Miva míayi Yehowa ƒe to la dzi, míage ɖe Yakob ƒe Mawu la ƒe gbedoxɔ la me; afia eƒe mɔwo mí be míazɔ le eƒe mɔwo dzi.” Nufiame atso Zion ava, eye Yehowa ƒe nya atso Yerusalem ava.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le dukɔwo dome, eye wòadzra ame geɖewo dome ɖo. Woatsɔ woƒe aʋawɔyiwo atu kodzoewoe, eye woatsɔ woƒe akplɔwo atu hɛ̃ gobɛwoe. Dukɔ magatsɔ yi ɖe dukɔ ŋu alo axɔ hehe na aʋawɔwɔ o.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
O! Yakob ƒe aƒe, na miazɔ le Yehowa ƒe kekeli me.
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with the manners from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of foreigners.
Ègbe nu le wò amewo, Yakob ƒe aƒe gbɔ, elabena woyɔ fũu kple ɣedzeƒetɔwo ƒe subɔsubɔwo. Wokaa afã abe Filistitɔwo ene, eye wokpea asi ɖe trɔ̃subɔlawo ŋu le woƒe subɔsubɔwo me.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
Woƒe anyigba dzi yɔ fũu kple klosalo kple sika, eye seɖoƒe meli na woƒe kesinɔnuwo o. Sɔwo bɔ ɖe woƒe anyigba dzi, eye seɖoƒe meli na woƒe tasiaɖamwo o.
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
Woƒe anyigba dzi yɔ fũu kple legbawo, wodea ta agu na woawo ŋutɔ ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo, eye wodzea klo na nu siwo woƒe asibidɛwo wɔ,
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
eya ta woaɖiɖi ame ɖe anyi eye woabɔbɔ amegbetɔƒomea ɖe anyi, mègatsɔe ke wo o.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
Miyi ɖe ŋɔdzigadowo me, mibe ɖe anyigba ƒe tume tso Yehowa ƒe ŋɔdzi kple eƒe gãnyenye ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe gbɔ!
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be abased, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Woaɖiɖi ŋkugãtolawo katã ɖe anyi, eye woabɔbɔ dadalawo katã ɖe anyi. Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ɖeka ko woado ɖe dzi.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la, ɖo ŋkeke ɖi na dadalawo kple ɖokuiŋudzelawo kple nu siwo katã wodo ɖe dzi la (elabena woabɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi).
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
Woabɔbɔ Lebanon ƒe sedati kɔkɔ tsralawo kple Basan ƒe logotiwo ɖe anyi.
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
Woabɔbɔ to kɔkɔwo kple tɔgbɛ kɔkɔwo katã ɖe anyi;
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fortified wall,
woabɔbɔ gbetakpɔxɔ kɔkɔwo kple gli sesẽwo ɖe anyi,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
eye woabɔbɔ Tarsis ƒe asitsameliwo kple tɔdziʋu gãwo katã ɖe anyi.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be abased, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Woabɔbɔ amewo ƒe ɖokuidodoɖedzi kple dada ɖe anyi. Yehowa ɖeka ko woado ɖe dzi gbe ma gbe,
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
eye woaɖe legbawo katã ɖa keŋkeŋ.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Ne Yehowa tso be yeaʋuʋu anyigba la, amewo asi age ɖe agadowo me le kpewo tome kple dowo me le anyigba ƒe tume, le eƒe ŋɔdzi kple eƒe gãnyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ ta.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, amewo atsɔ woƒe klosalolegba kple sikalegba siwo wosubɔna la aƒu gbe na alegeliwo kple agutɔwo.
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Woasi ayi ɖe agadowo kple kpewo tome kpakple agakpe kɔkɔwo tame be woasi le Yehowa ƒe ŋɔdzi kple eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe atsyɔ̃nu, ne etso be yeaʋuʋu anyigba.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for why is he to be esteemed?
Amegbetɔ nye nu gblɔe: ele gblɔe abe eƒe gbɔgbɔ si le ŋɔtime nɛ ene! Nu ka ta nàtsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ ada ɖe edzi?
