Isaiæ 2
1 verbum quod vidit Isaias filius Amos super Iudam et Hierusalem
The word, which was revealed to Isaiah, the 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
It shall come to pass in the last days, That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And 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 Iacob et docebit nos vias suas et ambulabimus in semitis eius quia de Sion exibit lex et verbum Domini de Hierusalem
And many kingdoms shall go, and shall say, “Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!” For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the 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 proelium
He shall be a judge of the nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms; And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning-hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
5 domus Iacob venite et ambulemus in lumine Domini
O house of Jacob, come ye, And let us walk in the light of Jehovah!
6 proiecisti enim populum tuum domum Iacob quia repleti sunt ut olim et augures habuerunt ut Philisthim et pueris alienis adheserunt
For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are full of the East, And are sorcerers, like the Philistines, And strike hands with a foreign race!
7 repleta est terra argento et auro et non est finis thesaurorum eius
Their land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, And there is no end 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 own hands, To that which their own fingers have made.
9 et incurvavit se homo et humiliatus est vir ne ergo dimittas eis
Therefore shall the mean man be bowed down, And the great man be brought low; And thou wilt not forgive them!
10 ingredere in petram abscondere fossa humo a facie timoris Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius
Go into the rock, hide yourselves in the dust, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty!
11 oculi sublimis hominis humiliati sunt et incurvabitur altitudo virorum exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa
The proud looks of man shall be humbled, And the loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; 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 Jehovah of hosts holdeth a day of judgment Against all that is proud and lofty; Against all that is exalted, and it shall be brought low;
13 et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas et super omnes quercus Basan
Against all the cedars of Lebanon, the high and the exalted, And against all the oaks of Bashan;
14 et super omnes montes excelsos et super omnes colles elevatos
Against all the lofty mountains, And against all the high hills;
15 et super omnem turrem excelsam et super omnem murum munitum
Against every lofty tower, And against every high wall;
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis et super omne quod visu pulchrum est
Against all the ships of Tarshish, And against all their beautiful flags.
17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum et humiliabitur altitudo virorum et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa
The pride of man shall be humbled; The loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur
The idols shall wholly 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 shall go into clefts of the rocks, and caves of the earth, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
20 in die illa proiciet homo idola argenti sui et simulacra auri sui quae fecerat sibi ut adoraret talpas et vespertiliones
At that time shall men cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they have made to worship, To the moles and the bats;
21 et ingredietur fissuras petrarum et cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius cum surrexerit percutere terram
Fleeing into caves of the rocks, and clefts of the craggy rocks, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
22 quiescite ergo ab homine cuius spiritus in naribus eius quia excelsus reputatus est ipse
Trust, then, no more in man, Whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is to be made of him!
