Ezayi 2
1 Men mesaj Bondye te bay Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, nan vizyon li te fè sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm:
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
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.
[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.
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.
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].
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.
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.”
5 Koulye a, nou menm moun fanmi Jakòb yo, annou mache nan limyè Seyè a ban nou an.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from 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.
[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).
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.
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.
8 Peyi a plen zidòl. Y'ap sèvi bagay yo fè ak men yo, bagay yo bay fòm ak dwèt yo.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 Tout moun pral bese je yo gade atè afòs yo pral wont. Pa padonnen yo, Seyè!
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[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].
14 L'ap kraze tèt gwo mòn kou ti mòn. L'ap fè yo tout vin menm wotè.
He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
15 L'ap kraze tout fò yo ak tout miray ranpa yo.
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].
16 L'ap koule tout gwo batiman peyi Tasis yo, y'ap fè fon ak tout bèl bagay yo.
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.
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.
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.
18 Tout zidòl pral disparèt nèt ale.
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
[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]!
