Isaiæ 2
1 verbum quod vidit Isaias filius Amos super Iudam et Hierusalem
This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw 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 happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow 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 Hierusalem
Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word 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 will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 domus Iacob venite et ambulemus in lumine Domini
House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
6 proiecisti enim populum tuum domum Iacob quia repleti sunt ut olim et augures habuerunt ut Philisthim et pueris alienis adheserunt
For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practise divination like the Philistines, and they clasp 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, 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 eius equis et innumerabiles quadrigae eius et repleta est terra eius 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
Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
10 ingredere in petram abscondere fossa humo a facie timoris Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius
Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 oculi sublimis hominis humiliati sunt et incurvabitur altitudo virorum exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa
The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and 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 there will be a day of the LORD of Hosts for all that is proud and arrogant, and for 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
for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14 et super omnes montes excelsos et super omnes colles elevatos
for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15 et super omnem turrem excelsam et super omnem murum munitum
for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis et super omne quod visu pulchrum est
for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum et humiliabitur altitudo virorum et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa
The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur
The idols shall utterly 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
Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
20 in die illa proiciet homo idola argenti sui et simulacra auri sui quae 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 themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21 et ingredietur fissuras petrarum et cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria maiestatis eius 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 the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
22 quiescite ergo ab homine cuius spiritus in naribus eius quia excelsus reputatus est ipse
Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
