< ʻIsaia 2 >

1 Ko e folofola naʻe hā mai kia ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi ʻoku kau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.
The things that Isaiah son of Amoz perceived in a vision, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui, ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻe hiki hake ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga; pea ʻe tafe ki ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
It will be in the last days that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established as the highest of the mountains, and it will be raised up above the hills, and all the nations will flow to it.
3 Pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai tokolahi mo nau pehē, “Mou haʻu, ke tau ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope; pea te ne akonakiʻi ʻakitautolu ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea te tau ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu atu ʻi Saione ʻae fono, pea mo e folofola ʻa Sihova mei Selūsalema.
Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, so he may teach us some of his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion will go the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
4 Pea te ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo ne valokiʻi ʻae kakai tokolahi: pea te nau tuki ʻa ʻenau ngaahi heletā ko e ngaahi huo, pea mo honau ngaahi tao ko e ngaahi hele ʻauhani: ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻae heletā ki ha puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe ako ki he tau.
He will judge between the nations and will render decisions for many peoples; they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
5 ‌ʻAe fale ʻo Sēkope, mou haʻu, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo Sihova.
House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
6 Ko e moʻoni kuo ke liʻaki hoʻo kakai ko e fale ʻo Sēkope, koeʻuhi kuo fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu mei he potu hahake, pea ʻoku ai honau kikite ʻo hangē ko e kakai Filisitia, pea ʻoku nau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fānau ʻae kakai muli.
For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east and they practice divination like the Philistines, and they shake hands with sons of foreigners.
7 ‌ʻOku fonu foki ʻa honau fonua ʻi he siliva mo e koula, pea ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ʻenau koloa; pea ʻoku fonu foki ʻa honau fonua ʻi he fanga hoosi, pea ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ʻenau saliote;
Their land is full of silver and gold, and is there no limit to their wealth; their land also is full of horses, nor is there limit to their chariots.
8 ‌ʻOku pito foki ʻa honau fonua ʻi he ngaahi tamapua; ʻoku nau lotu ki he ngāue ʻa honau nima, ʻaia kuo ngaohi ʻe honau louhiʻi nima:
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the craftsmanship of their own hands, things that their own fingers have made.
9 Pea ʻoku punou ʻae tangata lāuvale, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoku ne fakavaivai ia: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamolemole ʻakinautolu.
The people will be bowed down, and individuals will fall down; therefore do not raise them up.
10 Ke ke hū ki he ʻanaʻi maka, mo fakafufū koe ʻi he efu, ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, mo e nāunau ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
Go into the rocky places and hide in the ground from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty.
11 ‌ʻE fakavaivai ʻae mata laukau ʻoe tangata, pea ʻe fakahifo ki lalo mo e fielahi ʻae kakai, ka ko Sihova pe ʻe hiki hake ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
The lofty gaze of man will be brought low, and the pride of men will be brought down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
12 He ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku laukau mo fielahi, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo hiki hake; pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi hifo ia:
For there will be a day of Yahweh of hosts against everyone who is proud and raised up, and against everyone who is arrogant—and he will be brought down—
13 Pea ki he ngaahi sita kotoa pē ʻo Lepanoni, ʻoku hako mo māʻolunga, pea ki he ngaahi oke kotoa pē ʻo Pesani,
and against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan.
14 Pea ki he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē kuo hiki hake,
That day of Yahweh of hosts will be against all the high mountains, and against all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Pea ki he ngaahi fale māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi puke kotoa pē kuo ʻāaʻi,
and against every high tower, and against every impregnable wall,
16 Pea ki he ngaahi vaka kotoa pē ʻo Tasisi, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei.
and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all beautiful sailing vessels.
17 Pea ʻe tuku hifo ai ʻae fieʻeiki ʻae tangata, pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi mo e fielahi ʻae kakai: ka ko Sihova pe ʻe hiki hake ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
The pride of man will be brought low, and the haughtiness of men will fall; Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
18 Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē,
The idols will completely pass away.
19 Pea te nau hū ki he ngaahi ʻana maka, mo e ngaahi luo ʻi he kelekele, ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, mo e nāunau ʻo ʻene māfimafi, ʻoka tuʻu hake ia ke lulu fakamanavahēʻi ʻa māmani.
Men will go into the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
20 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe lī ʻe he tangata ki he ngaahi mole mo e fanga peka, ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamapua siliva, mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua koula, ʻaia naʻe taki taha ngaohi maʻana ke lotu ki ai;
On that day people will throw away their idols of silver and of gold that they have made for themselves to worship—they will throw them away to the moles and bats.
21 Ke nau ʻalu ki he ngaahi ʻana maka, pea mo e tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi maka hangatāmaki, ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, pea mo e nāunau ʻo ʻene māfimafi, ʻoka tuʻu hake ia ke lulu fakamanavahēʻi ʻa māmani.
The people will go into the crevices in the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 Tuku hoʻomou falala ki he tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono avaʻi ihu ʻa ʻene mānava: he ko e hā ha meʻa ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe ia?
Stop trusting in man, whose life-breath is in his nostrils, for what does he amount to?
