Knox:
This is a
message which was revealed to Isaias, the son of Amos, about Juda and Jerusalem. In later days, the mountain where
the Lord dwells will be lifted high above the mountain-tops, looking down over
the hills, and all nations will flock there together. A
multitude of peoples will make their way to it, crying, Come, let us climb up
to the Lord’s mountain-peak, to the house where the God of Jacob dwells; he
shall teach us the right way, we will walk in the paths he has chosen. The
Lord’s commands shall go out from Sion, his word from Jerusalem, and
he will sit in judgement on the nations, giving his award to a multitude of
peoples. They will melt down their swords into plough-shares, their spears into
pruning-hooks, nation levying war against nation and training itself for battle
no longer. Come you too (they will say), children of Jacob, let us
walk together in the path where the Lord shews us light.
NAB:
This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. In days to come, the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against
another, nor shall they train for war again. O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
