Isaiæ 2
1 Verbum, quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Iuda et Ierusalem.
The things that Isaiah son of Amoz perceived in a vision, 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.
It will be in the last days that the mountain of Yahweh's house will be established as the highest of the mountains, and it will be raised up above the hills, and all the nations will 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.
Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob, so he may teach us some of his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion will go the law, and the word of Yahweh 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.
He will judge between the nations and will render decisions for many peoples; they will hammer their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any longer.
5 Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
House of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
6 Proiecisti enim populum tuum, domum Iacob: quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
For you have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east and they practice divination like the Philistines, and they shake hands with sons of foreigners.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro: et non est finis thesaurorum eius:
Their land is full of silver and gold, and is there no limit to their wealth; their land also is full of horses, nor is there limit to 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 craftsmanship of their own hands, things that their own fingers have made.
9 Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir: ne ergo dimittas eis.
The people will be bowed down, and individuals will fall down; therefore do not raise them up.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius.
Go into the rocky places and hide in the ground from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum: exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
The lofty gaze of man will be brought low, and the pride of men will be brought down, and Yahweh alone will be exalted on 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 Yahweh of hosts against everyone who is proud and raised up, and against everyone who is arrogant—and he will be brought down—
13 Et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes, et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan.
and against all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan.
14 Et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos.
That day of Yahweh of hosts will be against all the high mountains, and against all the hills that are lifted up,
15 Et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
and against every high tower, and against every impregnable wall,
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne, quod visu pulchrum est.
and against all the ships of Tarshish, and against all beautiful sailing vessels.
17 Et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa:
The pride of man will be brought low, and the haughtiness of men will fall; Yahweh alone will be exalted on that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur:
The idols will completely pass away.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terræ a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
Men will go into the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
20 In die illa proiiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret talpas et vespertiliones.
On that day people will throw away their idols of silver and of gold that they have made for themselves to worship—they will throw them away to the moles and bats.
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum, et in cavernas saxorum a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria maiestatis eius, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
The people will go into the crevices in the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from the terror of Yahweh and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine, cuius spiritus in naribus eius est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
Stop trusting in man, whose life-breath is in his nostrils, for what does he amount to?
