Isaiæ 2

1 Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.

The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.

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

It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto 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 people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,

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.

And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.

5 Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.

O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.

6 Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhaeserunt.

Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.

7 Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:

Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.

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 also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.

9 Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.

And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.

10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.

Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.

11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.

The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall 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 hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.

13 Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.

16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.

And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.

17 Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:

And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.

18 et idola penitus conterentur:

And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.

19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terrae a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.

Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.

20 In die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quae fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.

At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,

21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.

To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.

22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.

Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
