< Ezayi 2 >
1 Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, nan vizyon li te fè sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm:
That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Yon tan gen pou rive! Lè sa a, mòn kote Tanp lan ye a, va pi wo pase tout lòt mòn yo. L'ap kanpe byen wo nan mitan mòn yo. Moun va soti nan tout peyi an kantite vin sou li.
But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
3 Anpil moun lòt nasyon va mache vini. Y'a di: -Ann ale sou mòn Seyè a! Ann al nan Tanp Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! L'a moutre nou jan li vle nou viv la. Konsa n'a mache nan chemen l'ap mete devan nou an. Paske, Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon an, l'ap bay lòd li. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale ak pèp li a.
And many peoples shall go and say—Come ye, and let us ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of Jerusalem;
4 L'ap regle tout kont nasyon yo gen yonn ak lòt. L'ap jije tout gwo peyi yo. Y'a pran mato, y'a fè zam yo tounen zouti pou travay tè. Y'a fè nepe yo tounen kouto digo. Nasyon yo p'ap fè lagè yonn ak lòt ankò. Yo p'ap janm aprann fè lagè ankò.
And he will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war,
5 Koulye a, nou menm moun fanmi Jakòb yo, annou mache nan limyè Seyè a ban nou an.
O house of Jacob! come ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
6 Bondye, ou te lage pèp ou a, moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Peyi yo a plen moun k'ap fè divinò, plen moun k'ap li nan zetwal. Peyi a tounen tankou peyi moun Filisti yo. Tout moun nan peyi a ap swiv vye mès moun lòt nasyon yo.
Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —
7 Peyi a plen ajan ak lò. Richès pèyi a pa gen limit. Peyi a plen chwal. Ou pa ka konte kantite cha pou fè lagè yo genyen.
So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
8 Peyi a plen zidòl. Y'ap sèvi bagay yo fè ak men yo, bagay yo bay fòm ak dwèt yo.
And filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
9 Tout moun pral bese je yo gade atè afòs yo pral wont. Pa padonnen yo, Seyè!
So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
10 Yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch. Yo pral fouye twou anba tè pou yo chape anba kòlè Seyè a. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li va parèt aklè.
Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
11 Yon jou gen pou vini! Lè sa a, p'ap gen moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun ankò! P'ap gen moun k'ap fè awogan ankò sou moun! Jou sa a, Seyè a va sèl chèf.
The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Wi, jou sa a, se va jou Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a! L'ap fè tout moun ki t'ap gonfle lestonmak yo bese je yo gade atè ansanm ak tout moun ki t'ap fè awogan yo ak tout grannèg yo.
For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;
13 L'ap detwi tout gwo pye sèd ki byen wo nan peyi Liban an, tout gwo pye bwadchenn ki byen wo nan peyi Bazan an.
And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 L'ap kraze tèt gwo mòn kou ti mòn. L'ap fè yo tout vin menm wotè.
And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
15 L'ap kraze tout fò yo ak tout miray ranpa yo.
And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
16 L'ap koule tout gwo batiman peyi Tasis yo, y'ap fè fon ak tout bèl bagay yo.
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
17 P'ap gen moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun ankò! P'ap gen moun k'ap fè awogan ankò sou moun! Lè jou sa a va rive, Seyè a va sèl chèf.
And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Tout zidòl pral disparèt nèt ale.
And, the idols, shall wholly pass away;
19 Yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch. Yo pral fouye twou anba tè pou yo chape anba kòlè Bondye. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li ap parèt aklè, lè Seyè a va leve pou l' fè tè a tranble.
And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 Jou sa a, moun va pran tout zidòl yo te fè an ajan ak an lò pou fè sèvis pou yo, y'a voye yo jete bay rat ak chovsourit.
In that day shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the bats;
21 Lè Seyè a va vini pou l' fè tè a tranble, yo pral kache kò yo nan twou wòch, yo pral fouye twou anba tè. Sezisman va pran yo lè y'a wè Seyè a. Y'a kouri al kache lè pouvwa li ap parèt aklè.
That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Pa mete konfyans nou nan moun parèy nou! Talè yo pa pèdi souf yo, yo pa mouri! Lè sa a, kisa yo ka fè pou nou ankò?
Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
