Isaiah 2

1 This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

The word which Ysaie, the sone of Amos, siy on Juda and Jerusalem.

2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

And in the laste daies the hil of the hous of the Lord schal be maad redi in the cop of hillis, and schal be reisid aboue litle hillis. And alle hethene men schulen flowe to hym;

3 And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

and many puplis schulen go, and schulen seie, Come ye, stie we to the hil of the Lord, and to the hous of God of Jacob; and he schal teche vs hise weies, and we schulen go in the pathis of hym. For whi the lawe schal go out of Syon, and the word of the Lord fro Jerusalem.

4 Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.

And he schal deme hethene men, and he schal repreue many puplis; and thei schulen welle togidere her swerdes in to scharris, and her speris in to sikelis, ether sithes; folk schal no more reise swerd ayens folk, and thei schulen no more be exercisid to batel.

5 Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Come ye, the hous of Jacob, and go we in the liyt of the Lord.

6 For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

Forsothe thou hast cast awei thi puple, the hous of Jacob, for thei ben fillid as sum tyme bifore; and thei hadden false dyuynouris bi the chiteryng of briddis, as Filisteis, and thei cleuyden to alien children.

7 Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.

The lond is fillid with siluer and gold, and noon ende is of the tresouris therof; and the lond therof is fillid with horsis, and the foure horsid cartis therof ben vnnoumbrable.

8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

And the lond therof is fillid with ydols, and thei worschipiden the werk of her hondis, which her fyngris maden;

9 So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!

and a man bowide hymsilf, and a man of ful age was maad low. Therfor foryyue thou not to hem.

10 Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.

Entre thou, puple of Juda, in to a stoon, be thou hid in a diche in erthe, fro the face of the drede of the Lord, and fro the glorie of his mageste.

11 The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

The iyen of an hiy man ben maad low, and the hiynesse of men schal be bowid doun; forsothe the Lord aloone schal be enhaunsid in that dai.

12 For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—

For the dai of the Lord of oostis schal be on ech proud man and hiy, and on ech boostere, and he schal be maad low;

13 against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

and on alle the cedres of the Liban hiye and reisid, and on alle the ookis of Baisan,

14 against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,

and on alle hiy munteyns, and on alle litle hillis, `that ben reisid;

15 against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

and on ech hiy tour, and on ech strong wal;

16 against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.

and on alle schippis of Tharsis, and on al thing which is fair in siyt.

17 So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

And al the hiynesse of men schal be bowid doun, and the hiynesse of men schal be maad low; and the Lord aloone schal be reisid in that dai,

18 and the idols will vanish completely.

and idols schulen be brokun togidere outirli.

19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

And thei schulen entre in to dennes of stoonys, and in to the swolewis of erthe, fro the face of the inward drede of the Lord, and fro the glorie of his maieste, whanne he schal ryse to smyte the lond.

20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.

In that dai a man schal caste awei the idols of his siluer, and the symylacris of his gold, whiche he hadde maad to hym silf, for to worschipe moldewarpis and backis, `ether rere myis.

21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.

And he schal entre in to chynnis, ethir crasyngis, of stoonys, and in to the caues of hard roochis, fro the face of the inward drede of the Lord, and fro the glorie of his mageste, whanne he schal ryse to smyte the lond.

22 Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

Therfor ceesse ye fro a man, whos spirit is in hise nose thirlis, for he is arettid hiy.
