Ang salita na naalaman ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz tungkol sa Juda at Jerusalem.

At mangyayari sa mga huling araw, na ang bundok ng bahay ng Panginoon ay matatatag sa taluktok ng mga bundok, at magiging mataas sa mga burol; at lahat ng bansa ay magsisiparoon doon.

At maraming bayan ay magsisiyaon at mangagsasabi, Halina kayo, at tayo'y magsiahon sa bundok ng Panginoon, sa bahay ng Dios ni Jacob; at tuturuan niya tayo ng kaniyang mga daan, at tayo'y magsisilakad sa kaniyang mga landas: sapagka't mula sa Sion ay lalabas ang kautusan, at ang salita ng Panginoon ay mula sa Jerusalem.

At siya'y hahatol sa gitna ng mga bansa, at sasaway sa maraming tao: at kanilang pupukpukin ang kanilang mga tabak upang maging mga sudsod, at ang kanilang mga sibat ay maging mga karit: ang bansa ay hindi magtataas ng tabak laban sa bansa, o mangagaaral pa man sila ng pakikipagdigma.

Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, halikayo, at tayo'y magsilakad sa liwanag ng Panginoon.

Sapagka't iyong binayaan ang iyong bayan na sangbahayan ni Jacob, sapagka't sila'y puspos ng mga kaugaliang mula sa silanganan, at mga enkantador gaya ng mga Filisteo, at sila'y nangakikipagkamay sa mga anak ng mga taga ibang lupa.

Ang kanilang lupain naman ay puno ng pilak at ginto, ni walang wakas ang kanilang mga kayamanan; ang kanila namang lupain ay puno ng mga kabayo, ni walang katapusang bilang ang kanilang mga karo.

Ang kanila namang lupain ay puno ng mga diosdiosan; kanilang sinasamba ang gawa ng kanilang sariling mga kamay, na ginawa ng kanilang sariling mga daliri.

At ang taong hamak ay yumuyuko, at ang mataas na tao ay nabababa: kaya't huwag mong patawarin sila.

10 Pumasok ka sa malaking bato, at magkubli ka sa alabok, sa kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan.

11 Ang mga tinging mapagmataas ng tao ay mabababa, at ang mga pagmamataas ng mga tao ay mahuhutok, at ang Panginoon magisa ay mabubunyi sa kaarawang yaon.

12 Sapagka't magkakaroon ng isang kaarawan ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa lahat na palalo at mapagmataas, at sa lahat na nagmamataas; at yao'y mabababa:

13 At sa lahat ng cedro ng Libano, na matayog at mataas, at sa lahat ng encina ng Basan;

14 At sa lahat ng matataas na bundok, at sa lahat ng mga burol na nangataas;

15 At sa bawa't matayog na moog, at sa bawa't kutang nababakod:

16 At sa lahat ng mga sasakyang dagat ng Tarsis, at sa lahat ng maligayang bagay.

17 At ang kahambugan ng tao ay huhutukin, at ang mga pagmamataas ng mga tao ay mabababa: at ang Panginoon magisa ay mabubunyi sa kaarawang yaon.

18 At ang mga diosdiosan ay mapapawing lubos.

19 At ang mga tao ay magsisipasok sa mga yungib ng malalaking bato, at sa mga puwang ng lupa, sa harap ng kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan, pagka siya'y bumangon upang yaniging may kapangyarihan ang lupa.

20 Sa kaarawang yaon ay ihahagis ng mga tao ang kanilang mga diosdiosang pilak, at ang kanilang mga diosdiosang ginto, na kanilang ginawa upang sambahin, sa yungib ng mga bilig at ng mga paniki;

21 Upang pumasok sa mga puwang ng malalaking bato, at sa mga bitak ng mga malaking bato, sa harap ng kakilabutan sa Panginoon, at sa kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang kamahalan, pagka siya'y bumangon upang yaniging may kapangyarihan ang lupa.

22 Layuan ninyo ang tao, na ang hinga ay nasa kaniyang mga butas ng ilong: sapagka't sa ano pahahalagahan siya?

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?

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

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people 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.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: 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.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
