< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Sana, jonka Jesaja, Aamoksen poika, näki Juudasta ja Jerusalemista.
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
Aikojen lopussa on Herran temppelin vuori seisova vahvana, ylimmäisenä vuorista, kukkuloista korkeimpana, ja kaikki pakanakansat virtaavat sinne.
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
Monet kansat lähtevät liikkeelle sanoen: "Tulkaa, nouskaamme Herran vuorelle, Jaakobin Jumalan temppeliin, että hän opettaisi meille teitänsä ja me vaeltaisimme hänen polkujansa; sillä Siionista lähtee laki, Jerusalemista Herran sana".
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
Ja hän tuomitsee pakanakansojen kesken, säätää oikeutta monille kansoille. Niin he takovat miekkansa vantaiksi ja keihäänsä vesureiksi; kansa ei nosta miekkaa kansaa vastaan, eivätkä he enää opettele sotimaan.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
Jaakobin heimo, tulkaa, vaeltakaamme Herran valkeudessa.
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Sillä sinä olet hyljännyt kansasi, Jaakobin heimon, koska he ovat täynnä Idän menoa, täynnä ennustelijoita niinkuin filistealaiset, ja lyövät kättä muukalaisten kanssa.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
Heidän maansa tuli täyteen hopeata ja kultaa, eikä heidän aarteillaan ole määrää; heidän maansa tuli täyteen hevosia, eikä heidän vaunuillaan ole määrää.
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
Heidän maansa tuli täyteen epäjumalia, he kumartavat kättensä tekoa, sitä, minkä heidän sormensa ovat tehneet.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Silloin ihminen masentuu ja mies painuu maahan, mutta älä anna heille anteeksi.
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Mene kallion kätköön, piiloudu maan peittoon Herran kauhua ja hänen valtansa kirkkautta pakoon.
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Ihmisten ylpeät silmät painuvat maahan, miesten korskeus masentuu, ja sinä päivänä Herra yksinänsä on korkea.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
Sillä Herran Sebaotin päivä kohtaa kaikkea ylpeää ja korskeata ja kaikkea ylhäistä, niin että se maahan painuu,
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
kaikkia Libanonin setripuita, noita korkeita ja ylhäisiä, kaikkia Baasanin tammia,
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
kaikkia korkeita vuoria ja kaikkia ylhäisiä kukkuloita,
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
kaikkia korkeita torneja ja kaikkia vahvoja muureja,
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
kaikkia Tarsiin-laivoja ja kaikkea kallista ja ihanaa.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Silloin masentuu ihmisten ylpeys, ja miesten korskeus painuu maahan, ja sinä päivänä Herra yksinänsä on korkea.
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
Mutta epäjumalat katoavat kaikki tyynni.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Silloin mennään kallioluoliin ja maakuoppiin Herran kauhua ja hänen valtansa kirkkautta pakoon, kun hän nousee maata kauhistuttamaan.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
Sinä päivänä ihmiset viskaavat pois myyrille ja yököille hopea-ja kultajumalansa, jotka he ovat tehneet kumarrettaviksensa.
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
Ja he menevät vuorenrotkoihin ja kallionkoloihin Herran kauhua ja hänen valtansa kirkkautta pakoon, kun hän nousee maata kauhistuttamaan.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
Luopukaa siis ihmisistä, joilla on vain henkäys sieraimissa, sillä minkä arvoiset he ovat!
