Isaiah 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
1Verbum quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Juda et Jerusalem.
2And it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
2[Et erit in novissimis diebus: præparatus mons domus Domini in vertice montium, et elevabitur super colles; et fluent ad eum omnes gentes,
3And many peoples shall go and say: 'Come ye, 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.
3et ibunt populi multi, et dicent: Venite, et ascendamus ad montem Domini, et ad domum Dei Jacob; et docebit nos vias suas, et ambulabimus in semitis ejus, quia de Sion exibit lex, et verbum Domini de Jerusalem.
4And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4Et judicabit 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.
5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
5Domus Jacob, venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.]
6For Thou hast forsaken Thy people the house of Jacob; for they are replenished from the east, and with soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the brood of aliens.
6[Projecisti enim populum tuum, domum Jacob, quia repleti sunt ut olim, et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim, et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
7Their land also 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.
7Repleta est terra argento et auro, et non est finis thesaurorum ejus.
8Their land also is full of idols; every one worshippeth the work of his own hands, that which his own fingers have made.
8Et repleta est terra ejus equis, et innumerabiles quadrigæ ejus. Et repleta est terra ejus idolis; opus manuum suarum adoraverunt, quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
9And man boweth down, and man lowereth himself; and Thou canst not bear with them.
9Et incurvavit se homo, et humiliatus est vir; ne ergo dimittas eis.
10Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of His majesty.
10Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus.
11The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
11Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt, et incurvabitur altitudo virorum; exaltabitur autem Dominus solus in die illa.
12For the LORD of hosts hath a day upon all that is proud and lofty, and upon all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low;
12Quia dies Domini exercituum super omnem superbum, et excelsum, et super omnem arrogantem, et humiliabitur;
13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
13et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas, et super omnes quercus Basan,
14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
14et super omnes montes excelsos, et super omnes colles elevatos,
15And upon every lofty tower, and upon every fortified wall;
15et super omnem turrim excelsam, et super omnem murum munitum,
16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all delightful imagery.
16et super omnes naves Tharsis, et super omne quod visu pulchrum est,
17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
17et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum, et humiliabitur altitudo virorum, et elevabitur Dominus solus in die illa;
18And the idols shall utterly pass away.
18et idola penitus conterentur;
19And 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 ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
19et introibunt in speluncas petrarum, et in voragines terræ, a facie formidinis Domini et a gloria majestatis ejus, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
20In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
20In die illa projiciet homo idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui, quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret, talpas et vespertiliones.
21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the crevices of the crags, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of His majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
21Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum et in cavernas saxorum, a facie formidinis Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus, cum surrexerit percutere terram.
22Cease ye from man, in whose nostrils is a breath; for how little is he to be accounted!
22Quiescite ergo ab homine, cujus spiritus in naribus ejus est, quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.]
