< Ezayi 2 >
1 Pawòl ke Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te wè konsènan Juda avèk Jérusalem.
That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Vini lakay Jacob; annou mache nan limyè SENYÈ a.
O house of Jacob! come ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
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.
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 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.
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 yo anplis plen ak zidòl; yo adore zèv men pa yo, sa ke dwèt yo te fè.
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 Pou sa, lòm vin imilye; e limanite vin bese. Konsa, pa padone yo.
So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
10 Antre nan wòch, e kache nan pousyè, kont laperèz SENYÈ a, kont mayifisans ak majeste li.
Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
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.
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 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, 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 Epi kont tout bwa sèd Liban an ki byen wo, e ki leve tèt yo wo, kont tout chenn Basan yo.
And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 Kont tout mòn wo yo, kont tout kolin ki leve wo yo,
And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
15 Kont tout fò wo yo, kont tout miray fòtifye yo,
And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
16 Kont tout bato Tarsis yo, kont tout sa ki bèl pou wè yo.
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
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 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 Men zidòl yo va vin disparèt nèt.
And, the idols, shall wholly pass 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 Sispann mete konfyans nan lòm; souf vi li se sèl nan nen l. Kisa li vo?
Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
