< Isaayyaas 2 >

1 Wanni Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos waaʼee Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem arge kanaa dha:
This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Bara dhumaa keessa, tulluun mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo tulluuwwan hunda keessaa ol dheeratee dhaabata; inni tulluuwwan caalaa ol ol jedha; saboonni hundinuu gara isaatti yaaʼu.
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
3 Namoonni baayʼeen dhufanii akkana jedhu; “Kottaa gara tulluu Waaqayyoo, gara mana Waaqa Yaaqoob ol baanaa. Inni akka nu daandii isaa irra deemnuuf karaa isaa nu barsiisa.” Seerri Xiyoon keessaa, dubbiin Waaqayyoo immoo Yerusaalem keessaa ni baʼa.
And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 Inni saboota gidduutti murtii kenna; namoota hedduudhaafis ni murteessa. Isaan goraadee isaanii tumanii maarashaa tolfatu; eeboo isaaniis tumanii haamtuu tolfatu. Sabni tokko saba biraatti goraadee hin luqqifatu; yookaan lolaaf nama hin leenjifatan.
Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
5 Yaa mana Yaaqoob, kottaa ifa Waaqayyoo keessa deddeebinaa.
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 Kanaafuu saba kee, mana Yaaqoob dhiifteerta. Isaan bartee Baʼa Biiftuutiin guutamaniiru; akkuma Filisxeemotaa falfala hojjetu; duudhaa namoota ormaattis ni cichu.
For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Biyyi isaanii meetii fi warqeen guutamteerti; qabeenyi isaanii dhuma hin qabu. Biyyi isaanii fardeeniin guutamteerti; gaariiwwan isaaniis dhuma hin qaban.
Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
8 Biyyi isaanii waaqota tolfamoodhaan guutamteerti; isaan hojiidhuma harka isaanii, waanuma qubni isaanii tolcheef sagadu.
Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9 Kanaafuu namni gad qabama; ilmaan namaa gad deebifamu; ati isaaniif hin dhiisin.
So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
10 Argamuu Waaqayyoo isa sodaachisaa fi surraa ulfina isaa duraa, kattaa keessa lixu; lafa keessas dhokadhu!
Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
11 Iji nama of tuuluu gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha.
The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu warra of jajuu fi warra of tuulu hundaaf, warra ol ol jedhan hundaaf guyyaa tokko qaba; isaanis gad deebifamu.
For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
13 Inni birbirsa Libaanoon dheeraa fi guddaa hundaaf, qilxuu Baashaan hundaaf,
against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14 tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hundaaf, gaarran ol dhedheeroo hundaaf,
against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
15 gamoo gurguddaa hundaaf, dallaa dhagaadhaan jabeeffamee ijaarame hundaaf,
against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16 doonii daldalaa hundaa fi waan gatii guddaa qabu hundaaf guyyaa murteeffate tokko qaba.
against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
17 Of tuulummaan namaa gad qabama; of jajuun namootaas gad deebifama; gaafas Waaqayyo qofatu ol ol jedha;
So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 waaqonni tolfamoon guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffamu.
and the idols will vanish completely.
19 Namoonni yommuu inni lafa raasuuf kaʼutti, sodaachisa Waaqayyootii fi surraa isaa ulfina qabeessa sana duraa gara holqa kattaa keessaattii fi boolla lafa keessaatti ni baqatu.
Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
20 Gaafas namoonni waaqota isaanii tolfamoo kanneen waaqeffachuuf jedhanii meetii fi warqee irraa tolfatan sana tuqaa fi simbira halkaniitiif darbatu.
In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
21 Isaan yommuu inni lafa raasuuf kaʼutti sodaachisa Waaqayyootii fi surraa ulfina isaa duraa gara holqa guddaa kattaawwan keessaatii fi baqaqaa kattaatti ni baqatu.
They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
22 Nama duʼa hin oolle, kan hafuurri isaa funyaan irra jiru abdachuu dhiisaa. Inni maalitti lakkaaʼama?
Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
