Isaiah 2

1 That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

verbum quod vidit Isaias filius Amos super Iudam et Hierusalem

2 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;

et erit in novissimis diebus praeparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium et elevabitur super colles et fluent ad eum omnes gentes

3 And many peoples shall go and say—Come ye, and let us ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of 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 Hierusalem

4 And he will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war,

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 proelium

5 O house of Jacob! come ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.

domus Iacob venite et ambulemus in lumine Domini

6 Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —

proiecisti enim populum tuum domum Iacob quia repleti sunt ut olim et augures habuerunt ut Philisthim et pueris alienis adheserunt

7 So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to their chariots;

repleta est terra argento et auro et non est finis thesaurorum eius

8 And filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.

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 So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!

et incurvavit se homo et humiliatus est vir ne ergo dimittas eis

10 Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.

ingredere in petram abscondere fossa humo a facie timoris Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius

11 The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

oculi sublimis hominis humiliati sunt et incurvabitur altitudo virorum exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa

12 For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;

quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum et excelsum et super omnem arrogantem et humiliabitur

13 And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas et super omnes quercus Basan

14 And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;

et super omnes montes excelsos et super omnes colles elevatos

15 And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;

et super omnem turrem excelsam et super omnem murum munitum

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.

et super omnes naves Tharsis et super omne quod visu pulchrum est

17 And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum et humiliabitur altitudo virorum et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa

18 And, the idols, shall wholly pass away;

et idola penitus conterentur

19 And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly 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 In that day shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the bats;

in die illa proiciet homo idola argenti sui et simulacra auri sui quae fecerat sibi ut adoraret talpas et vespertiliones

21 That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

et ingredietur fissuras petrarum et cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius cum surrexerit percutere terram

22 Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?

quiescite ergo ab homine cuius spiritus in naribus eius quia excelsus reputatus est ipse
