People From Many Nations Will Worship at Mount Zion
1Here is a vision that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2In 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.
3People 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.
4He will judge between the nations.
He’ll settle problems among many of them.
They will hammer their swords into plows.
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.
5People of Jacob, come.
Let us live the way the Lord has taught us to.
The Day of the Lord Is Coming
6Lord, you have deserted the people of Jacob.
They are your people.
The land is full of false beliefs from the east.
The people practice evil magic, just as the Philistines do.
They do what ungodly people do.
7Their 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.
8Their 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.
9So people will be brought low.
Everyone will be made humble.
Do not forgive them.
10Go 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!
11Anyone who brags will be brought low.
Anyone who is proud will be made humble.
The Lord alone will be honored at that time.
12The 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 brag about themselves.
All of them will be brought low.
13The 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.
14He has set it apart for all the towering mountains.
He has set it apart for all the high hills.
15He has set it apart for every high tower
and every strong wall.
16He has set it apart for every trading ship
and every beautiful boat.
17Anyone who brags will be brought low.
Anyone who is proud will be made humble.
The Lord alone will be honored at that time.
18And the statues of gods will totally disappear.
19People 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.
20People had made some statues of gods out of silver.
They had made others out of gold.
Then they worshiped them.
But when the Lord comes,
they will throw the statues away to the moles and bats.
21Those 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.
22Stop trusting in mere human beings, who can’t help you.
They only live for a little while.
What good are they?
A Glória do Monte do Senhor
1Foi isto que Isaías, filho de Amoz, viu a respeito de Judá e de Jerusalém:
2Nos últimos dias
o monte do templo do Senhor
será estabelecido como o principal;
será elevado acima das colinas,
e todas as nações correrão para ele.
3Virão muitos povos e dirão:
“Venham, subamos ao monte do Senhor,
ao templo do Deus de Jacó,
para que ele nos ensine os seus caminhos,
e assim andemos em suas veredas”.
Pois a lei sairá de Sião,
de Jerusalém virá a palavra do Senhor.
4Ele julgará entre as nações
e resolverá contendas de muitos povos.
Eles farão de suas espadas arados,
e de suas lanças, foices.
Uma nação não mais pegará em armas
para atacar outra nação,
elas jamais tornarão a preparar-se para a guerra.
5Venha, ó descendência de Jacó,
andemos na luz do Senhor!
O Dia do Senhor
6Certamente abandonaste o teu povo,
os descendentes de Jacó,
porque eles se encheram
de superstições dos povos do leste,
praticam adivinhações como os filisteus
e fazem acordos com pagãos.
7Sua terra está cheia de prata e ouro;
seus tesouros são incontáveis.
Sua terra está cheia de cavalos;
seus carros não têm fim.
8Sua terra está cheia de ídolos.
Eles se inclinam diante da obra das suas mãos,
diante do que os seus dedos fizeram.
9Por isso a humanidade será abatida
e o homem será humilhado;
não os perdoes2.9 Ou exaltes!
10Entre no meio das rochas,
esconda-se no pó por causa do terror que vem do Senhor
e do esplendor da sua majestade!
11Os olhos do arrogante serão humilhados
e o orgulho dos homens será abatido;
somente o Senhor será exaltado naquele dia.
12O Senhor dos Exércitos tem um dia reservado
para todos os orgulhosos e altivos,
para tudo o que é exaltado,
para que eles sejam humilhados;
13para todos os cedros do Líbano,
altos e altivos,
e todos os carvalhos de Basã;
14para todos os montes elevados
e todas as colinas altas;
15para toda torre imponente
e todo muro fortificado;
16para todo navio mercante2.16 Ou de Társis
e todo barco de luxo.
17A arrogância dos homens será abatida,
e o seu orgulho será humilhado.
Somente o Senhor será exaltado naquele dia,
18e os ídolos desaparecerão por completo.
19Os homens fugirão para as cavernas das rochas
e para os buracos da terra
por causa do terror que vem do Senhor
e do esplendor da sua majestade
quando ele se levantar para sacudir a terra.
20Naquele dia, os homens atirarão
aos ratos e aos morcegos
os ídolos de prata e os ídolos de ouro
que fizeram para adorar.
21Fugirão para as cavernas das rochas
e para as brechas dos penhascos,
por causa do terror que vem do Senhor
e do esplendor da sua majestade
quando ele se levantar para sacudir a terra.
22Parem de confiar no homem,
cuja vida não passa de um sopro em suas narinas.
Que valor ele tem?
