Isaiah 2
1 The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
Vitu ambavyo Isaya mtoto Amozi alivijua katika maono, kuhusu Yuda na Yerusalemu.
2 It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it.
Na itakuwa katika siku za mwisho, ule mlima wa nyumba ya Yahwe itaanzishwa kama mlima mrefu zaidi, na utanyanyuliwa juu ya vilima, na mataifa yote yatakusanyika pale.
3 And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,
Watu wengi watakuja na kusema, ''Njooni, twendeni juu ya mlima wa Yahwe, kwenye nyumba ya Mungu wa Yakobo, kwa hiyo anaweza kutufundisha baadhi ya njia zake na tunaweza kutembea katika njia zake.'' Nje ya Sayuni itaenda sheria na neno la Yahwe litatoka Yerualemu.
4 And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.
Atahukumu kati ya mataifa na atatoa maamuzi kwa watu wote; watayapiga nyungo mapanga yao kuwa majembe, na mikiku yao kama ya kukatia ndoano; taifa halitanyanyua upanga juu ya taifa lingine, na wala hawata jiandaa kwa vita tena.
5 O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
Nyumba ya Yakobo, njooni, na tutembee katika mwanga wa Yahwe.
6 Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.
Kwa maana mmewatekeleza watu wenu, nyumba ya Yakobo, wamejazwa na desturi kutoka mashariki na dalili kutokea kama mfilisti, na watasalimiana kwa mikono na wana wa wageni.
7 Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.
Nchi yao imejaa fedha na dhahabu, na hakuna mipaka katika utajiri wao; nchi yao pia imejaa farasi, wala hakuna mipika ya magari.
8 Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.
Nchi yao pia imejaa sanamu; wanaabu utengenezaji wa mikono yao wenyewe, vitu aambavyo vidole vyao vimetengeneza.
9 And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.
Watu watainama chini, na kila mmoja atanguka chini; hivyo basi msiwanyanyue juu.
10 Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.
Nendeni maeneo yenye miamba na mjifiche kwenye aridhi kwa hofu ya Yahwe na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake.
11 The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.
Mtu anaye tazama kwa kujivuna atashushw chini, na kiburi cha watu kitashushwa chini, na Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
12 For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.
Maana kutakuwa na siku ya Yahwe wa majeshi juu ya yeyote anayejigamba na kujiinua juu, na dhidi ya yeyote mwenye kiburi na atashushwa chini-
13 Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,
na dhidi ya mierezi ya Lebanoni iliyo juu na kupandishwa juu, na dhidi ya mialoni ya Bashani.
14 And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,
Siku hiyo ya Yahwe wa majeshi itakuwa dhidi ya milima yote mirefu, na dhidi ya vilima vyote vilivyonyanyuliwa juu,
15 And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,
na dhidi ya minara mirefu, na dhidi ya kila ukutaunaojitokeza,
16 And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.
na dhidi ya merikebu zote za Tarshishi, na dhidi ya vyombo vizuri vya meli.
17 And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.
Kiburi cha mwanaume kitashushwa chini, na kiburi cha wanaume kitaanguka; Yahwe mwenyewe atainuliwa siku hiyo.
18 And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.
Sanamu zote zitaondolewa.
19 Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.
Wanaume wataingia kwenye mapango ya miamba na mashimo ya aridhi, kwa hofu ya Yahwe, na kwa utukufu wa enzi yake, atakapo nyanyuka na kuitisha nchi.
20 At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,
Siku hiyo watu watatupa sanamu zao za fedha na dhahabu ambazo wametengeneza wenyewe kwa ajili ya kuabudia - watazitupa mbali kwa fuko na popo.
21 To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.
Watu wataingia kwenye miamba kupitia mwanya itakuwa miamba chakavu, kwa hofu ya Yahwe na utukufu wa enzi yake,
22 Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
usimwaminia mtu, ambae pumzi yake inatokea katika pua yake, ni kwa kiasi gan?
