Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen 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.
And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
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 gone have many peoples and said, 'Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah 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.
And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more — war.
5 Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of Jehovah.'
6 Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhaeserunt.
For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its 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.
And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
9 Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.
And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
12 Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem: et humiliabitur.
For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
13 Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
14 Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
15 Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
17 Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah alone been in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur:
And the idols — they completely pass away.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terrae a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify 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 doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For — in what is he esteemed?
