The City of Peace

The vision that Isaiah(A) son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

In(B) the last days(C)
the mountain of the Lord’s house(D) will be established
at the top of the mountains
and will be raised above the hills.
All nations will stream to it,(E)
and many peoples will come and say,
‘Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.(F)
He will teach us about his ways
so that we may walk in his paths.’
For instruction will go out of Zion
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will settle disputes among the nations
and provide arbitration for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into ploughs
and their spears into pruning knives.(G)
Nation will not take up the sword against nation,
and they will never again train for war.(H)

The Day of the Lord

House of Jacob,
come and let’s walk in the Lord’s light.(I)
For you have abandoned(J) your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers(K) like the Philistines.(L)
They are in league[a] with foreigners.
Their[b][c] land is full of silver and gold,
and there is no limit to their treasures;
their land is full of horses,
and there is no limit to their chariots.(M)
Their land is full of worthless idols;(N)
they worship the work of their hands,
what their fingers have made.(O)
So humanity is brought low,
and each person is humbled.
Do not forgive them!(P)
10 Go into the rocks(Q)
and hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord(R)
and from his majestic splendour.(S)
11 The pride of mankind[d] will be humbled,(T)
and human loftiness will be brought low;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

12 For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming
against all that is proud and lofty,(U)
against all that is lifted up – it will be humbled –
13 against all the cedars of Lebanon,(V)
lofty and lifted up,
against all the oaks of Bashan,(W)
14 against all the high mountains,(X)
against all the lofty hills,
15 against every high tower,(Y)
against every fortified wall,
16 against every ship of Tarshish,(Z)
and against every splendid sea vessel.
17 The pride of mankind will be brought low,
and human loftiness will be humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.(AA)
18 The worthless idols will vanish completely.

19 People will go into caves in the rocks(AB)
and holes in the ground,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from his majestic splendour,
when he rises to terrify the earth.(AC)
20 On that day people will throw
their worthless idols of silver and gold,(AD)
which they made to worship,
to the moles and the bats.
21 They will go into the caves of the rocks
and the crevices in the cliffs,
away from the terror of the Lord
and from his majestic splendour,(AE)
when he rises to terrify the earth.
22 Put no more trust in a mere human,
who has only the breath in his nostrils.(AF)
What is he really worth?

Словото, което се откри на Амосовия син Исаия за Юда и Ерусалим:

В послешните дни Хълмът на дома Господен Ще се утвърди по-високо от <всичките> хълмове, И ще се издигне над бърдата; И всичките народи ще се стекат на него.

И много племена ще отидат и ще рекат: Дойдете, да възлезем на хълма Господен, В дома на Якововия Бог; Той ще ни научи на пътищата Си, И ние ще ходим в пътеките Му, Защото от Сион ще излезе поуката, И словото Господно от Ерусалим.

<Бог> ще съди между народите, И ще решава между много племена; И те ще изковат ножовете си на палешници, И копията си на сърпове; Народ против народ няма да дигне нож, Нито ще се учат вече на война.

Доме Яковов, дойдете, И нека ходим в Господната светлина.

Понеже Ти си оставил людете Си, Якововия дом, Защото те се напълниха <с обичаи> от изток, И станаха предвещатели като филистимците, И направиха завет с чадата на иноплеменниците.

И земята им се напълни със сребро и злато, Та няма край на съкровищата им; Напълни им се земята и с коне, Та няма край на колесниците им;

И напълни се земята им с идоли; Поклониха се на делата на своите си ръце, И онова, което самите им пръсти направиха;

И наведе се долният човек, И сниши се големец; Затова недей им прощава.

10 Влез в скалата и скрий се в пръстта Поради страха от Господа, И поради славата на Неговото величие.

11 Гордите погледи на човеците ще се унижат, И високоумието на човеците ще се наведе; А само Господ ще се възвиси в оня ден.

12 Защото ще има ден, <когато> Господ на Силите <ще бъде >Против всеки горделив и надменен <човек, >И против всичко, което се надига, (и ще се унижи),

13 Против всичките ливански кедри, високи и издигнати, И против всичките васански дъбове,

14 Против всичките високи планини, И против всичките възвишени бърда,

15 Против всяка висока кула, И против всяка укрепена стена,

16 Против всичките тарсийски кораби, И против всичко що е приятно да се гледа.

17 Гордото носене на човека ще се наведе, И надменността ще се унижи; А само Господ ще се възвиси в оня ден.

18 И идолите съвсем ще изчезнат,

19 И човеците ще влязат в пещерите на скалите И в дупките на земята, Поради страха от Господа, и поради славата на величието Му, Когато стане да разтърси земята.

20 В оня ден човек ще хвърли на къртовете и на прилепите Сребърните идоли и златните идоли, Които си е направил за да им се кланя,

21 За да влезе в канаристите подземия И в пукнатините на скалите, Поради страха от Господа и поради славата на величието Му, Когато стане да разтърси земята.

22 Оставете се от човека, в чиито ноздри е лъх; Защото за какво може да се разчита на него?

The Mountain of the Lord(A)

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:(B)

In the last days(C)

the mountain(D) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;(E)
it will be exalted(F) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.(G)

Many peoples(H) will come and say,

“Come, let us go(I) up to the mountain(J) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(K) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.(L)
He will judge(M) between the nations
    and will settle disputes(N) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.(O)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,(P)
    nor will they train for war anymore.

Come, descendants of Jacob,(Q)
    let us walk in the light(R) of the Lord.

The Day of the Lord

You, Lord, have abandoned(S) your people,
    the descendants of Jacob.(T)
They are full of superstitions from the East;
    they practice divination(U) like the Philistines(V)
    and embrace(W) pagan customs.(X)
Their land is full of silver and gold;(Y)
    there is no end to their treasures.(Z)
Their land is full of horses;(AA)
    there is no end to their chariots.(AB)
Their land is full of idols;(AC)
    they bow down(AD) to the work of their hands,(AE)
    to what their fingers(AF) have made.
So people will be brought low(AG)
    and everyone humbled(AH)
    do not forgive them.[a](AI)

10 Go into the rocks, hide(AJ) in the ground
    from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty!(AK)
11 The eyes of the arrogant(AL) will be humbled(AM)
    and human pride(AN) brought low;(AO)
the Lord alone will be exalted(AP) in that day.(AQ)

12 The Lord Almighty has a day(AR) in store
    for all the proud(AS) and lofty,(AT)
for all that is exalted(AU)
    (and they will be humbled),(AV)
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon,(AW) tall and lofty,(AX)
    and all the oaks of Bashan,(AY)
14 for all the towering mountains
    and all the high hills,(AZ)
15 for every lofty tower(BA)
    and every fortified wall,(BB)
16 for every trading ship[b](BC)
    and every stately vessel.
17 The arrogance of man will be brought low(BD)
    and human pride humbled;(BE)
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,(BF)
18     and the idols(BG) will totally disappear.(BH)

19 People will flee to caves(BI) in the rocks
    and to holes in the ground(BJ)
from the fearful presence(BK) of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,(BL)
    when he rises to shake the earth.(BM)
20 In that day(BN) people will throw away
    to the moles and bats(BO)
their idols of silver and idols of gold,(BP)
    which they made to worship.(BQ)
21 They will flee to caverns in the rocks(BR)
    and to the overhanging crags
from the fearful presence of the Lord
    and the splendor of his majesty,(BS)
    when he rises(BT) to shake the earth.(BU)

22 Stop trusting in mere humans,(BV)
    who have but a breath(BW) in their nostrils.
    Why hold them in esteem?(BX)

The Future House of God(A)

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Now (B)it shall come to pass (C)in the latter days
(D)That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say,
(E)“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
(F)For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning [a]hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

The Day of the Lord

O house of Jacob, come and let us (G)walk
In the light of the Lord.

For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled (H)with eastern ways;
They are (I)soothsayers like the Philistines,
(J)And they [b]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
(K)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
(L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

10 (M)Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
11 The [c]lofty looks of man shall be (N)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted (O)in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all (P)the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 (Q)Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 (R)Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The [d]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [e]He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the (S)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [f]earth,
(T)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (U)to shake the earth mightily.

20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

22 (V)Sever[g] yourselves from such a man,
Whose (W)breath is in his nostrils;
For [h]of what account is he?
