< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Ko e folofola naʻe hā mai kia ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi ʻoku kau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
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.
3 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
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.
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
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.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
‌ʻAe fale ʻo Sēkope, mou haʻu, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo Sihova.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practise divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
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.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
‌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;
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
‌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:
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
Pea ʻoku punou ʻae tangata lāuvale, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoku ne fakavaivai ia: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamolemole ʻakinautolu.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Ke ke hū ki he ʻanaʻi maka, mo fakafufū koe ʻi he efu, ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova, mo e nāunau ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
‌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.
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
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:
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
Pea ki he ngaahi sita kotoa pē ʻo Lepanoni, ʻoku hako mo māʻolunga, pea ki he ngaahi oke kotoa pē ʻo Pesani,
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
Pea ki he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē kuo hiki hake,
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
Pea ki he ngaahi fale māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi puke kotoa pē kuo ʻāaʻi,
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
Pea ki he ngaahi vaka kotoa pē ʻo Tasisi, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
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.
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē,
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
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.
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
‌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;
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
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.
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
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?
