Isaiah 2

1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

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

2 And it has come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The mountain of YHWH’s house is established, Above the top of the mountains, And it has been lifted up above the heights, And all the nations have flowed 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 have gone and said, “Come, and we go up to the mountain of YHWH, To the house of the God of Jacob, And He teaches us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For a law goes forth from Zion, And a word of YHWH 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 And He has judged between the nations, And has given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to plowshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation does not lift up sword to nation, Nor do they learn anymore—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 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.”

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

6 For You have left Your people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And strike hands with the children of strangers.

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 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its 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 And its land is full of idols, It bows itself to the work of its hands, To that which its fingers have made,

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

9 And the low bows down, and the high is humbled, And You do not accept them.

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

10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence.

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 haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And the loftiness of men has been bowed down, And YHWH alone has been set on high 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 a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,

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 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,

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

14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,

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

15 And for every high tower, And for every fortified wall,

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

16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.

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

17 And the haughtiness of man has been bowed down, And the loftiness of men humbled, And YHWH alone has been set on high 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—they completely pass away.

and idols schulen be brokun togidere outirli.

19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify 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 man casts his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,

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 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honor of His excellence, In His rising to terrify 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 Cease yourselves from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?

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