< Isaias 2 >

1 Dagiti banbanag a nakita ni Isaias a putot ni Amos iti sirmata maipapan iti Juda ken iti Jerusalem.
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Kadagiti maudi nga al-adaw, maibangonto ti bantay ti balay ni Yahweh a kas kangatoan kadagiti banbantay, ken maitan-okto kadagiti ngatoen dagiti turod; ket mapanto iti daytoy dagiti amin a nasion.
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 Adunto a tattao ti umay ket kunaenda, “Umaykayo, sumang-attayo idiay bantay ni Yahweh, iti balay ti Dios ni Jacob, tapno isuronatayo kadagiti wagasna, ken magnatayo kadagiti dalanna.” Ta mangngegan ti linteg manipud iti Sion ken dagiti sasao ni Yahweh manipud iti Jerusalem.
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 Mangukomto isuna iti nagbabaetan dagiti nasion ken iyegna dagiti pangngeddengna para kadagiti adu a tattao; pitpitendanto dagiti kampilanda ket pagbalinenda nga arado, ken dagiti pikada ket pagbalinenda a kumpay; saanto rauten ti maysa a nasion ti sabali a nasion, wenno agsanay pay para iti gubat.
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 Balay ni Jacob, umaykayo ket magnatayo iti lawag ni Yahweh.
Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
6 Ta binaybay-am dagiti tattaom, a balay ni Jacob, gapu ta napnoanda kadagiti kaugalian manipud iti daya ken agbuybuyon a kas kadagiti Filisteo, ken makial-alamanoda kadagiti annak dagiti ganggannaet.
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 Napnoan iti pirak ken balitok ti dagada ket awan pagpatinggaan ti kinabaknangda; napnoan pay ti dagada kadagiti kabalio, kasta met a saan a mabilang dagiti karwaheda.
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 Napnoan pay ti dagada kadagiti didiosen; daydayawenda dagiti aramid dagiti bukodda nga im-ima, dagiti banbanag nga inaramid dagiti bukodda a ramramay.
Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
9 Maipababanto dagiti tattao ket matnagto ti tunggal maysa, saanmo ngarud ida nga awaten.
These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
10 Mapankayo kadagiti kabatbatoan a luglugar ket aglemmengkayo iti uneg ti daga tapno maliklikanyo ti nakaro a buteng kenni Yahweh ken ti dayag ti kinatan-okna.
Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
11 Maipababanto ti kinatangsit ken kinapasindayaw ti tao, ket ni Yahweh laeng ti maitan-ok iti dayta nga aldaw.
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 Ta addanto iti aldaw ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin a maibusor iti tunggal maysa a napalangguad ken napasindayag, ken maibusor iti amin a napannakkel, ket maipababanto isuna-
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 ken dadaelennanto dagiti amin a natayag ken nangato a sedro iti Lebanon, ken dagiti amin a lugo iti Basan,
He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
14 ken palanasennanto dagiti amin a nangato a banbantay, dagiti amin a nangato a turod,
He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
15 rebbaenanto ti tunggal nangato a pagwanawanan, ken tunggal nalagda a pader,
He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
16 ken dadaelennanto amin dagiti barko iti Tarsis, ken dagiti amin a napipintas a paglayag a barko.
He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
17 Maipababanto ti kinapalangguad ti tao ken mapukawto ti kinakuspag dagiti tattao; ni Yahweh laeng ti maitan- ok iti dayta nga aldaw.
The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
18 Mapukawto a naan-anay dagiti didiosen.
Idols will completely vanish away.
19 Mapanto dagiti tattao kadagiti rukib a batbato ken kadagiti abut iti daga, tapno maliklikanda ti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh ken ti dayag ti kinatan-okna, inton umay a mangbutbuteng iti daga.
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 Iti dayta nga aldaw, ibellengto dagiti tattao dagiti didiosenda a naaramid iti pirak ken balitok nga inaramidda a pagrukbabanda-ibellengdanto dagitoy kadagiti marabutit ken kurarapnit.
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 Mapanto dagiti tattao kadagiti rukib a batbato ken kadagiti birri ti dadakkel a batbato tapno maliklikan ti nakaro a buteng kenni Yahweh ken ti dayag ti kinatan-okna, inton bumangon isuna a mangbutbuteng iti daga.
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 Isardengyo ti agtalek iti tao, ta ti biagna ket adda laeng kadagiti abut iti agongna, ta ania ngay koma ti kabaelanna?
Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
