Ezayi 2
1 Pawòl ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem.
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and 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.
In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel 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.
People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from 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.
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
5 Vini lakay Jacob; annou mache nan limyè SENYÈ a.
Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
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 you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
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.
Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
8 Peyi yo anplis plen ak zidòl; yo adore zèv men pa yo, sa ke dwèt yo te fè.
Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
9 Pou sa, lòm vin imilye; e limanite vin bese. Konsa, pa padone yo.
These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
10 Antre nan wòch, e kache nan pousyè, kont laperèz SENYÈ a, kont mayifisans ak majeste li.
Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
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.
Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
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.
The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
13 Epi kont tout bwa sèd Liban an ki byen wo, e ki leve tèt yo wo, kont tout chenn Basan yo.
He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
14 Kont tout mòn wo yo, kont tout kolin ki leve wo yo,
He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
15 Kont tout fò wo yo, kont tout miray fòtifye yo,
He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
16 Kont tout bato Tarsis yo, kont tout sa ki bèl pou wè yo.
He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
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.
The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
18 Men zidòl yo va vin disparèt nèt.
Idols will completely vanish away.
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.
People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake 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,
On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the 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.
They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
22 Sispann mete konfyans nan lòm; souf vi li se sèl nan nen l. Kisa li vo?
Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
