< Ezayi 2 >
1 Pawòl ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem.
The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
2 Alò, li va vin rive nan dènye jou yo, ke mòn lakay SENYÈ a va etabli kon chèf a mòn yo. Li va leve pi wo pase kolin yo, e tout nasyon yo va kouri vin jwenn li.
For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
3 Konsa, anpil pèp va vini e yo va di: Vini, annou monte nan mòn SENYÈ a, lakay Bondye a Jacob la; pou L kab enstwi nou konsènan chemen Li yo, e pou nou kapab mache nan pa Li yo. Paske lalwa a va sòti fè parèt soti nan Sion, e pawòl Bondye a soti nan Jérusalem.
And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
4 Li va jije pami nasyon yo, e Li va rann desizyon pou anpil pèp. Yo va frape nepe yo pou fè cha tè a, ak lans lagè pou fè kwòk imondaj yo. Nasyon p ap leve nepe kont nasyon e jis pou tout tan, yo p ap vin aprann fè lagè ankò.
And he shall judge amongst the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
5 Vini lakay Jacob; annou mache nan limyè SENYÈ a.
And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Paske ou te abandone pèp Ou a, lakay Jacob, akoz yo plen ak jan de panse yo ki sòti nan lès; akoz yo vin pwofèt ki swiv Filisten yo, k ap antann yo ak pitit a etranje yo.
For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
7 Anplis, peyi yo vin plen ak ajan ak lò e pou richès yo, nanpwen fen. Peyi yo osi vin plen ak cheval yo, e ak cha lagè yo, nanpwen fen.
For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
8 Peyi yo anplis plen ak zidòl; yo adore zèv men pa yo, sa ke dwèt yo te fè.
And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
9 Pou sa, lòm vin imilye; e limanite vin bese. Konsa, pa padone yo.
And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
10 Antre nan wòch, e kache nan pousyè, kont laperèz SENYÈ a, kont mayifisans ak majeste li.
Now therefore enter you into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
11 Ògèy a lòm va vin bese e wotè a lòm va vin imilye. E nan jou sa a se sèl SENYÈ a k ap egzalte.
For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Paske SENYÈ dèzame yo va gen yon jou jijman kont nenpòt moun ki ògeye, e ki awogan; nenpòt moun ki leve tèt li wo va bese li.
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
13 Epi kont tout bwa sèd Liban an ki byen wo, e ki leve tèt yo wo, kont tout chenn Basan yo.
and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
14 Kont tout mòn wo yo, kont tout kolin ki leve wo yo,
and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
15 Kont tout fò wo yo, kont tout miray fòtifye yo,
and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
16 Kont tout bato Tarsis yo, kont tout sa ki bèl pou wè yo.
and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
17 Ògèy a lòm va vin imilye e wotè a lòm va vin desann. Se sèl SENYÈ a ki va egzalte nan jou sa a.
And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 Men zidòl yo va vin disparèt nèt.
And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
19 Tout moun va antre nan kav pami wòch yo, ak nan twou tè a, devan gran laperèz SENYÈ a, ak gwo bagay etonnan de majeste Li, lè Li leve pou fè tè a tranble.
having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
20 Nan jou sa a, tout moun va jete deyò rat ak chòv-sourit, zidòl fèt an ajan, ak zidòl fèt an lò, ke yo te fè pou yo menm ta adore,
For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
21 pou yo ka antre nan kav wòch ak twou wòch nan falèz yo, pou yo pa parèt devan laperèz SENYÈ, ak gwo bagay etonan a majeste Li a, lè Li leve pou fè latè tranble.
to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
22 Sispann mete konfyans nan lòm; souf vi li se sèl nan nen l. Kisa li vo?
