< Isaiah 2 >
1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
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.
Et erit in novissimis diebus præparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles, et fluent ad eum omnes gentes.
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.
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 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.
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 prælium.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
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.
Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
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.
Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
et repleta est terra eius equis: et innumerabiles quadrigæ eius. Et repleta est terra eius idolis: opus manuum suarum adoraverunt, quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
9 So people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.
Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty.
Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
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.
Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
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:
Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem: et humiliabitur.
13 For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
14 For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
15 For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
16 For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
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.
Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
et idola penitus conterentur:
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.
et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terræ a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
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 die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret talpas et vespertiliones.
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.
Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
