Isaiah 2
1 The word which Ysaie, the sone of Amos, siy on Juda and Jerusalem.
The word, which was revealed to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 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;
It shall come to pass in the last days, That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow unto it.
3 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.
And many kingdoms shall go, and shall say, “Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
4 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.
He shall be a judge of the nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms; And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
5 Come ye, the hous of Jacob, and go we in the liyt of the Lord.
O house of Jacob, come ye, And let us walk in the light of Jehovah!
6 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.
For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are full of the East, And are sorcerers, like the Philistines, And strike hands with a foreign race!
7 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.
Their land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
8 And the lond therof is fillid with ydols, and thei worschipiden the werk of her hondis, which her fyngris maden;
Their land is full of idols; They bow down to the work of their own hands, To that which their own fingers have made.
9 and a man bowide hymsilf, and a man of ful age was maad low. Therfor foryyue thou not to hem.
Therefore shall the mean man be bowed down, And the great man be brought low; And thou wilt not forgive them!
10 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.
Go into the rock, hide yourselves in the dust, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty!
11 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.
The proud looks of man shall be humbled, And the loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 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;
For Jehovah of hosts holdeth a day of judgment Against all that is proud and lofty; Against all that is exalted, and it shall be brought low;
13 and on alle the cedres of the Liban hiye and reisid, and on alle the ookis of Baisan,
Against all the cedars of Lebanon, the high and the exalted, And against all the oaks of Bashan;
14 and on alle hiy munteyns, and on alle litle hillis, `that ben reisid;
Against all the lofty mountains, And against all the high hills;
15 and on ech hiy tour, and on ech strong wal;
Against every lofty tower, And against every high wall;
16 and on alle schippis of Tharsis, and on al thing which is fair in siyt.
Against all the ships of Tarshish, And against all their beautiful flags.
17 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,
The pride of man shall be humbled; The loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 and idols schulen be brokun togidere outirli.
The idols shall wholly pass away;
19 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.
And men shall go into clefts of the rocks, and caves of the earth, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
20 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.
At that time shall men cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they have made to worship, To the moles and the bats;
21 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.
Fleeing into caves of the rocks, and clefts of the craggy rocks, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
22 Therfor ceesse ye fro a man, whos spirit is in hise nose thirlis, for he is arettid hiy.
Trust, then, no more in man, Whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is to be made of him!
