Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Et erit in novissimis diebus præparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles, et fluent ad eum omnes gentes.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted 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 Ierusalem.
And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us 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 out of Zion shall go forth the law, 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 prælium.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, 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.
O house of Jacob, come you, and 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 adhæserunt.
Therefore you have forsaken your people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 et repleta est terra eius equis: et innumerabiles quadrigæ 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.
And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone 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 hosts shall be on every one that is proud and lofty, and on every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
And on all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and on all the oaks of Bashan,
14 Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
And on every high tower, and on every fenced wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasant pictures.
17 Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur:
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terræ a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.
20 In die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret talpas et vespertiliones.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
