VULGATACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Verbum quod vidit Isaias, filius Amos, super Juda et Jerusalem.1 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,
2 And in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be prepared at the summit of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations shall flow to it.
3 et 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.
3 And many peoples will go, and they will say: “Let us approach and ascend to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 Et 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.
4 And he will judge the nations, and he will rebuke many peoples. And they shall forge their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they continue to train for battle.
5 Domus Jacob, venite,
et ambulemus in lumine Domini.
5 O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Projecisti enim populum tuum,
domum Jacob,
quia repleti sunt ut olim,
et augeres habuerunt ut Philisthiim,
et pueris alienis adhæserunt.
6 For you have cast aside your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been filled up, as in past times, and because they have had soothsayers as the Philistines have, and because they have joined themselves to foreign servants.
7 Repleta est terra argento et auro,
et non est finis thesaurorum ejus.
7 Their land has been filled with silver and gold. And there is no end to their storehouses.
8 Et repleta est terra ejus equis,
et innumerabiles quadrigæ ejus.
Et repleta est terra ejus idolis ;
opus manuum suarum adoraverunt,
quod fecerunt digiti eorum.
8 And their land has been filled with horses. And their four-horse chariots are innumerable. And their land has been filled with idols. They have adored the work of their hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 Et incurvavit se homo,
et humiliatus est vir ;
ne ergo dimittas eis.
9 And man has bowed himself down, and so man has become debased. Therefore, you should not forgive them.
10 Ingredere in petram, et abscondere in fossa humo
a facie timoris Domini, et a gloria majestatis ejus.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in a ditch in the soil, from the presence of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Oculi sublimes hominis humiliati sunt,
et incurvabitur altitudo virorum ;
exaltabitur autem Dominus solus
in die illa.
11 The lofty eyes of man have been humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed down. Then 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 ;
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts will prevail over all the proud and self-exalted, and over all the arrogant, and each one shall be humbled,
13 et super omnes cedros Libani sublimes et erectas,
et super omnes quercus Basan,
13 and over all the straight and tall cedars of Lebanon, and over all the oaks of Bashan;
14 et super omnes montes excelsos,
et super omnes colles elevatos,
14 and over all the lofty mountains, and over all the elevated hills;
15 et super omnem turrim excelsam,
et super omnem murum munitum,
15 and over every lofty tower, and over every fortified wall;
16 et super omnes naves Tharsis,
et super omne quod visu pulchrum est,
16 and over all the ships of Tarshish, and over all the beauty that may be seen.
17 et incurvabitur sublimitas hominum,
et humiliabitur altitudo virorum,
et elevabitur Dominus solus
in die illa ;
17 And the loftiness of men will be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men will be brought low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted, in that day.
18 et idola penitus conterentur ;
18 And idols will be thoroughly crushed.
19 et introibunt in speluncas petrarum,
et in voragines terræ,
a facie formidinis Domini
et a gloria majestatis ejus,
cum surrexerit percutere terram.
19 And they will go into the caves of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
20 In die illa projiciet homo
idola argenti sui, et simulacra auri sui,
quæ fecerat sibi ut adoraret,
talpas et vespertiliones.
20 In that day, man shall cast aside his idols of silver and his images of gold, which he had made for himself, as if to reverence the moles and the bats.
21 Et ingreditur scissuras petrarum
et in cavernas saxorum,
a facie formidinis Domini,
et a gloria majestatis ejus,
cum surrexerit percutere terram.
21 And so he will go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of stone, from the presence of the dread of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he will have risen up to strike the earth.
22 Quiescite ergo ab homine,
cujus spiritus in naribus ejus est,
quia excelsus reputatus est ipse.
22 Therefore, rest away from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he considers himself to be exalted.
