Isaiah 2 | New International Reader’s Version

New International Reader’s Version

People from many nations will worship at Mount Zion

1 Here is a vision that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem. 2 In the last days the mountain where the LORD’s temple is located will be famous. It will be the highest mountain of all. It will be raised above the hills. All the nations will go to it. 3 People from many nations will go there. They will say, ‘Come. Let us go up to the LORD’s mountain. Let’s go to the temple of Jacob’s God. He will teach us how we should live. Then we will live the way he wants us to.’ The law of the LORD will be taught at Zion. His message will go out from Jerusalem. 4 He will judge between the nations. He’ll settle problems among many of them. They will hammer their swords into ploughs. They’ll hammer their spears into pruning tools. Nations will not go to war against one another. They won’t even train to fight anymore. 5 People of Jacob, come. Let us live the way the LORD has taught us to.

The day of the Lord is coming

6 LORD, you have deserted the people of Jacob. They are your people. The land is full of false beliefs from the east. The people practise evil magic, just as the Philistines do. They do what ungodly people do. 7 Their land is full of silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. Their land is full of horses. There is no end to their chariots. 8 Their land is full of statues of gods. Their people bow down to what their own hands have made. They bow down to what their fingers have shaped. 9 So people will be brought low. Everyone will be made humble. Do not forgive them. 10 Go and hide in caves in the rocks, you people! Hide in holes in the ground. Hide from the terrifying presence of the LORD! Hide when he comes in glory and majesty! 11 Anyone who boasts will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The LORD alone will be honoured at that time. 12 The LORD who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge. He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important. He has set it apart for all those who boast about themselves. All of them will be brought low. 13 The LORD has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon. They are very tall. He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan. 14 He has set it apart for all the towering mountains. He has set it apart for all the high hills. 15 He has set it apart for every high tower and every strong wall. 16 He has set it apart for every trading ship and every beautiful boat. 17 Anyone who boasts will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The LORD alone will be honoured at that time. 18 And the statues of gods will totally disappear. 19 People will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the ground. They will run away from the terrifying presence of the LORD. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth. 20 People had made some statues of gods out of silver. They had made others out of gold. Then they worshipped them. But when the LORD comes, they will throw the statues away to the moles and bats. 21 Those people will run and hide in caves in the rocks. They will go into holes in the cliffs. They will run away from the terrifying presence of the LORD. They will run when he comes in glory and majesty. When he comes, he will shake the earth. 22 Stop trusting in mere human beings, who can’t help you. They only live for a little while. What good are they?

Божият съд на земята и бъдещата слава

1 Словото, което се откри на Амосовия син Исайя за Юдея и Йерусалим: 2 В следващите дни хълмът на дома ГОСПОДЕН ще се утвърди по-високо от всички хълмове и ще се издигне над бърдата; и всички народи ще се стекат на него. (Ge 49:1; Ps 68:15; Ps 68:16; Ps 72:8; Isa 27:13; Jer 23:20; Mic 4:1)

Ge 49:1Ps 68:15Ps 68:16Ps 72:8Isa 27:13Jer 23:20Mic 4:1

3 И много племена ще отидат и ще кажат: Елате, 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 ГОСПОДНЕ – от Йерусалим. (Jer 31:6; Jer 50:5; Zec 8:21; Zec 8:23; Lu 24:47)

Jer 31:6Jer 50:5Zec 8:21Zec 8:23Lu 24:47

4 Бог ще съди между народите и ще решава между много племена; и те ще изковат мечовете си на палешници и копията си – на сърпове; народ против народ няма да вдигне меч, нито ще се учат вече на война. (Ps 46:9; Ps 72:3; Ps 72:7; Ho 2:18; Zec 9:10)

Ps 46:9Ps 72:3Ps 72:7Ho 2:18Zec 9:10

5 Доме Яковов, елате и нека ходим в ГОСПОДНЯТА светлина. (Eph 5:8) 6 Понеже Ти си изоставил народа Си, Якововия дом, защото те се напълниха с обичаи от изток и станаха гадатели по облаци като филистимците, и сключиха завет със синовете на чуждородците. (Nu 23:7; De 18:14; Ps 106:35; Jer 10:2)

7 И земята им се напълни със сребро и злато и нямат край съкровищата им; напълни се земята им и с коне и нямат край колесниците им; (De 17:16; De 17:17)

De 17:16De 17:17

8 земята им се напълни и с идоли; поклониха се на делата на своите си ръце и на онова, което самите им пръсти направиха; (Jer 2:28) 9 и се наведе долният човек и се сниши големецът; затова недей им прощава. 10 Влез в скалата и се скрий в пръстта поради страха от ГОСПОДА и поради славата на Неговото величие. (Isa 2:19; Isa 2:21; Re 6:15)

11 Гордите погледи на хората ще се унижат и високоумието им ще се наведе; а само ГОСПОД ще се възвиси в онзи 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 всички ливански кедри, високи и издигнати, и против всички васански дъбове, (Isa 14:8; Isa 37:24; Eze 31:3; Zec 11:1; Zec 11:2)

Isa 14:8Isa 37:24Eze 31:3Zec 11:1Zec 11:2

14 против всички високи планини и против всички възвишени бърда, (Isa 30:25) 15 против всяка висока кула и против всяка укрепена стена, 16 против всички тарсийски кораби и против всичко, което е приятно да се гледа. (1Ki 10:22) 17 Гордото поведение на човека ще се прекърши и надменността ще се унижи; а само ГОСПОД ще се възвиси в онзи ден. (Isa 2:11) 18 И идолите съвсем ще изчезнат 19 и хората 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. (Isa 2:10; Isa 30:32; Ho 10:8; Hag 2:6; Hag 2:21; Lu 23:30; 2Th 1:9; Heb 12:26; Re 6:16; Re 9:6)

20 В онзи ден човек ще хвърли на къртиците и прилепите сребърните и златните идоли, които си е направил, за да им се кланя, (Isa 30:22; Isa 31:7) 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. (Isa 2:10; Isa 2:19) 22 Престанете да се надявате на човек, в чиито ноздри е лъх; защото за какво може да се разчита на него? (Job 27:1; Ps 146:3; Jer 17:3)
