Isaiah 2

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

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

2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow 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 shall come and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of Jehovah 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 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

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 House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

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

6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp 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, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of 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 also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own 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 people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.

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

10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory 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 looks of humankind will be brought low, and the arrogance of people will be brought down; and Jehovah 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 there will be a day of Jehovah of hosts for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up and high; and it shall be brought low:

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 For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,

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

14 For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,

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

15 For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,

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

16 For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.

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

17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall 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 The idols shall utterly pass away.

and idols schulen be brokun togidere outirli.

19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

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, people will cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold to the rodents and to the bats, which have been made for themselves 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 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.

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 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?

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