Isaiah 2
1 This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
2 In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
Et erit in novissimis diebus praeparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles, et fluent ad eum omnes gentes.
3 People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
Et ibunt populi multi, et dicent: Venite et ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Iacob, et docebit nos vias suas, et ambulabimus in semitis eius: quia de Sion exibit lex, et verbum Domini de Ierusalem.
4 The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
Et iudicabit Gentes, et arguet populos multos: et conflabunt gladios suos in vomeres, et lanceas suas in falces: non levabit gens contra gentem gladium, nec exercebuntur ultra ad praelium.
5 Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
6 For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhaeserunt.
7 Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
8 Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
et repleta est terra eius equis: et innumerabiles quadrigae eius. Et repleta est terra eius idolis: opus manuum suarum adoraverunt, quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
9 These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.
10 Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
11 Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
12 The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem: et humiliabitur.
13 He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
14 He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
15 He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
16 He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
17 The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
18 Idols will completely vanish away.
et idola penitus conterentur:
19 People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terrae a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
20 On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
In die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quae fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.
21 They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
22 Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
