Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Juda et Jerusalem.
The word that 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,
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto 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 go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, 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 shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah 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.
And 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.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
6 Projecisti enim populum tuum, domum Jacob, quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro, et non est finis thesaurorum ejus.
And 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.
And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low: therefore forgive them not.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus.
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of Jehovah, 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 lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem, et humiliabitur;
For there shall be a day of Jehovah of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;
13 et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan,
and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos,
and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne quod visu pulchrum est,
and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant imagery.
17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa;
And 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.
18 et idola penitus conterentur;
And 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.
And 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 ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
20 In die illa projiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.
In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
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 Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cujus spiritus in naribus ejus est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
