Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
This is the message that was revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 Et erit in novissimis diebus praeparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles, et fluent ad eum omnes gentes.
In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
3 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.
And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 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 praelium.
Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.
5 Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6 Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhaeserunt.
For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with influences from the east; they are soothsayers like the Philistines; they strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
Their land is full of silver and gold, with no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, with no limit to their chariots.
8 et repleta est terra eius equis: et innumerabiles quadrigae eius. Et repleta est terra eius idolis: opus manuum suarum adoraverunt, quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.
9 Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.
So mankind is brought low, and man is humbled— do not forgive them!
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
Go into the rocks and hide in the dust from the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
The proud look of man will be humbled, and the loftiness of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem: et humiliabitur.
For the Day of the LORD of Hosts will come against all the proud and lofty, against all that is exalted— it will be humbled—
13 Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,
14 Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
against all the tall mountains, against all the high hills,
15 Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
against every high tower, against every fortified wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
against every ship of Tarshish, and against every stately vessel.
17 Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
18 et idola penitus conterentur:
and the idols will vanish completely.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terrae a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
20 In die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quae fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.
In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold— the idols they made to worship.
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
