< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that 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 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto 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 And many peoples shall go and say, come ye, and let us 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD 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 And he shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: 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 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
‌ʻAe fale ʻo Sēkope, mou haʻu, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo Sihova.
6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of strangers.
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 also 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 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not.
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 thee 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 shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall 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 shall be a day of the LORD of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon 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 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon 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 and upon all the high mountains, and upon 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 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall;
Pea ki he ngaahi fale māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi puke kotoa pē kuo ʻāaʻi,
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all pleasant imagery.
Pea ki he ngaahi vaka kotoa pē ʻo Tasisi, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness 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 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē,
19 And 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 ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
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 a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for him 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 ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
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 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
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?
