Isaiah 2

1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:

Ko e folofola naʻe hā mai kia ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi ʻoku kau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.

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.

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 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].

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 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.”

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 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!

‌ʻAe fale ʻo Sēkope, mou haʻu, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo Sihova.

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).

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 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.

‌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 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.

‌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 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!

Pea ʻoku punou ʻae tangata lāuvale, pea mo e ʻeiki ʻoku ne fakavaivai ia: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamolemole ʻakinautolu.

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.

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 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.

‌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 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.

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 [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].

Pea ki he ngaahi sita kotoa pē ʻo Lepanoni, ʻoku hako mo māʻolunga, pea ki he ngaahi oke kotoa pē ʻo Pesani,

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.

Pea ki he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi tafungofunga kotoa pē kuo hiki hake,

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].

Pea ki he ngaahi fale māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ki he ngaahi puke kotoa pē kuo ʻāaʻi,

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.

Pea ki he ngaahi vaka kotoa pē ʻo Tasisi, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei.

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.

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 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).

Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē,

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.

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 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.

‌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 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.

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 [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]!

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?
