Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Juda et Jerusalem.
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 [Et erit in novissimis diebus: præparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles; et fluent ad eum omnes gentes,
It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of YHWH'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.
3 et ibunt populi multi, et dicent: Venite, et ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Jacob; et docebit nos vias suas, et ambulabimus in semitis ejus, quia de Sion exibit lex, et verbum Domini de Jerusalem.
And many peoples shall come and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of YHWH, 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 YHWH from Jerusalem.
4 Et judicabit 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.
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.
5 Domus Jacob, venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.]
House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of YHWH.
6 [Projecisti enim populum tuum, domum Jacob, quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
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.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro, et non est finis thesaurorum ejus.
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.
8 Et repleta est terra ejus equis, et innumerabiles quadrigæ ejus. Et repleta est terra ejus idolis; opus manuum suarum adoraverunt, quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
9 Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir; ne ergo dimittas eis.
So people bow down, people are low, therefore do not lift them up.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus.
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of YHWH, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum; exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
The proud looks of humankind will be brought low, and the arrogance of people will be brought down; and YHWH alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem, et humiliabitur;
For there will be a day of YHWH of hosts for all that is proud and haughty, and for all that is lifted up and high; and it shall be brought low:
13 et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan,
For all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14 et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos,
For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15 et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne quod visu pulchrum est,
For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa;
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and YHWH alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur;
The idols shall utterly pass away.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terræ, a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria majestatis ejus, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of YHWH, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 In die illa projiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.
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;
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum et in cavernas saxorum, a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of YHWH, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cujus spiritus in naribus ejus est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.]
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
