Isaiah 2
1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Vitu ambavyo Isaya mtoto Amozi alivijua katika maono, kuhusu Yuda na Yerusalemu.
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow 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 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s 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 the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word 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 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
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 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
Nyumba ya Yakobo, njooni, na tutembee katika mwanga wa Yahwe.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
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 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
Nchi yao imejaa fedha na dhahabu, na hakuna mipaka katika utajiri wao; nchi yao pia imejaa farasi, wala hakuna mipika ya magari.
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
Nchi yao pia imejaa sanamu; wanaabu utengenezaji wa mikono yao wenyewe, vitu aambavyo vidole vyao vimetengeneza.
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
Watu watainama chini, na kila mmoja atanguka chini; hivyo basi msiwanyanyue juu.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Nendeni maeneo yenye miamba na mjifiche kwenye aridhi kwa hofu ya Yahwe na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake.
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Mtu anaye tazama kwa kujivuna atashushw chini, na kiburi cha watu kitashushwa chini, na Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Hosts for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
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 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
na dhidi ya mierezi ya Lebanoni iliyo juu na kupandishwa juu, na dhidi ya mialoni ya Bashani.
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
Siku hiyo ya Yahwe wa majeshi itakuwa dhidi ya milima yote mirefu, na dhidi ya vilima vyote vilivyonyanyuliwa juu,
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
na dhidi ya minara mirefu, na dhidi ya kila ukutaunaojitokeza,
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
na dhidi ya merikebu zote za Tarshishi, na dhidi ya vyombo vizuri vya meli.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Kiburi cha mwanaume kitashushwa chini, na kiburi cha wanaume kitaanguka; Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
Sanamu zote zitaondolewa.
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
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, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the 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 go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Watu wataingia kwenye miamba kupitia mwanya itakuwa miamba chakavu, kwa hofu ya Yahwe na utukufu wa enzi yake,
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
usimwaminia mtu, ambae pumzi yake inatokea katika pua yake, ni kwa kiasi gan?
