Isaiah 2
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 The word which Isaiah son of Amoz saw [revealed] concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be [firmly] established as the highest of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.
3 And many people shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And He shall judge between the nations and shall decide [disputes] for many peoples; 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.(A)
5 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Surely [Lord] You have rejected and forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with customs] from the east and with soothsayers [who foretell] like the Philistines; also they strike hands and make pledges and agreements with the children of aliens.(B)
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold; neither is there any end to their treasures. Their land is also full of horses; neither is there any end to their chariots.(C)
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, what their own fingers have made.
9 And the common man is bowed down [before idols], also the great man is brought low and humbles himself—therefore forgive them not [O Lord].
10 Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the terror of the Lord and from the glory of His majesty.
11 The proud looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For there shall be a day of the Lord of hosts against all who are proud and haughty and against all who are lifted up—and they shall be brought low—(D)
13 [The wrath of God will begin by coming down] against all the cedars of Lebanon [west of the Jordan] that are high and lifted up, and against all the oaks of Bashan [east of the Jordan],
14 And [after that] against all the high mountains and all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And against every high tower and every fenced wall,
16 And against all the ships of Tarshish and all the picturesque and desirable imagery [designed for mere ornament and luxury].
17 Then 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.
18 And the idols shall utterly pass away (be abolished).
19 Then shall [the stricken, deprived of all in which they had trusted] go into the caves of the rocks and into the holes of the earth from before the terror and dread of the Lord and from before the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake mightily and terribly the earth.(E)
20 In that day men shall cast away to the moles and to the bats their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which they made for themselves to worship,
21 To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the ragged rocks from before the terror and dread of the Lord and from before the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth.
22 Cease to trust in [weak, frail, and dying] man, whose breath is in his nostrils [for so short a time]; in what sense can he be counted as having intrinsic worth?
以赛亚书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
主必统治万邦
2 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚看到以下有关犹大和耶路撒冷的异象。
2 在末后的日子，耶和华殿所在的山必耸立，
高过群山，超过万岭，
万族都要涌向它。
3 众民都必来，说：
“来吧！让我们登耶和华的山，
去雅各之上帝的殿。
祂必将祂的路指示给我们，
使我们走祂的道。”
因为训诲必出于锡安，
耶和华的话语必来自耶路撒冷。
4 祂必在各国施行审判，
为列邦平息纷争。
他们必将刀剑打成犁头，
把矛枪制成镰刀。
国与国不再刀兵相见，
人们不用再学习战事。
5 雅各家啊，来吧！
让我们走在耶和华的光中。
耶和华审判的日子
6 耶和华啊，你离弃了你的子民——雅各的后裔，
因为他们当中充满了东方的恶俗，
像非利士人一样占卜，
跟外族人同流合污。
7 他们境内金银遍地，
财宝无穷；
他们境内马匹充裕，
战车无数。
8 他们境内偶像林立，
他们跪拜自己用手所造的物品，
跪拜自己用指头所造之物。
9 他们必遭羞辱和贬抑。
耶和华啊，
求你不要赦免他们。
10 要躲进岩穴，藏入地洞，
逃避耶和华的愤怒和威荣！
11 到那日，狂妄的人将被挫败，
骄傲的人将遭贬抑；
唯独耶和华将受尊崇。
12 因为万军之耶和华已定了日子，
要惩罚一切骄傲狂妄和自高自大的人，
使他们沦为卑贱；
13 祂必毁灭黎巴嫩高大的香柏树和巴珊的橡树，
14 毁灭一切崇山峻岭，
15 毁灭高耸的城楼和坚固的城墙，
16 毁灭他施的商船和一切华美的船只。
17 到那日，狂妄的人必被挫败，
骄傲的人必遭贬抑，
唯独耶和华受尊崇。
18 偶像必被彻底铲除。
19 耶和华使大地震动的时候，
众人躲进岩穴，藏入地洞，
逃避祂的愤怒和威荣。
20 到那日，众人必把造来敬拜的金银偶像丢给田鼠和蝙蝠。
21 耶和华使大地震动的时候，
众人必躲进山洞和岩缝，
逃避祂的愤怒和威荣。
22 不要再倚靠世人，
他们的生命不过是一口气，
他们有什么值得称道的呢？
Isaiah 2
New King James Version
The Future House of God(A)
2 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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
5 O house of Jacob, come and let us (G)walk
In the light of the Lord.
6 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.
7 (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.
8 (L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
9 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?
