Lesson I

De Isaía Prophéta

Lesson from the book of Isaias

Isa 2:1-3

Verbum, quod vidit Isaías, fílius Amos, super Judam et Jerúsalem. Et erit in novíssimis diébus præparátus mons domus Dómini in vértice móntium, et elevábitur super colles; et fluent ad eum omnes gentes. Et ibunt pópuli multi, et dicent: Veníte, et ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Jacob, et docébit nos vias suas, et ambulábimus in sémitis ejus: quia de Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de Jerúsalem.

The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem. And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

℟. Montes Israël, ramos vestros expándite, et floréte, et fructus fácite: * Prope est ut véniat dies Dómini.

℟. O ye mountains of Israel, shoot forth your branches and blossom and bring forth fruit. * The day of the Lord is at hand to come.

℣. Roráte, cæli, désuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperiátur terra, et gérminet Salvatórem.

℣. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down the Righteous One; let the earth open, and let her bring forth the Saviour.

℟. Prope est ut véniat dies Dómini.

℟. The day of the Lord is at hand to come.

Lesson II

Isa 2:4-6

Et judicábit gentes, et árguet pópulos multos: et conflábunt gládios suos in vómeres, et lánceas suas in falces: non levábit gens contra gentem gládium, nec exercebúntur ultra ad prǽlium. Domus Jacob, veníte, et ambulémus in lúmine Dómini. Projecísti enim pópulum tuum, domum Jacob: quia repléti sunt ut olim, et áugures habuérunt ut Philísthiim, et púeris aliénis adhæsérunt.

And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.

℟. Erúmpant montes jucunditátem, et colles justítiam: * Quia lux mundi Dóminus cum poténtia venit.

℟. Let the mountains break forth into singing, and the hills bring forth righteousness * For the Lord, the Light of the world, cometh with power.

℣. De Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de Jerúsalem.

℣. Out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

℟. Quia lux mundi Dóminus cum poténtia venit.

℟. For the Lord, the Light of the world, cometh with power.

Lesson III

Isa 2:7-9

Repléta est terra argénto et auro: et non est finis thesaurórum ejus: Et repléta est terra ejus equis: et innumerábiles quadrígæ ejus. Et repléta est terra ejus idólis: opus mánuum suárum adoravérunt, quod fecérunt dígiti eórum. Et incurvávit se homo, et humiliátus est vir, ne ergo dimíttas eis.

Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures. And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made. And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.

℟. Ecce ab Austro vénio, ego Dóminus Deus vester, * Visitáre vos in pace.

℟. Behold, I, the Lord your God, come from the South * To visit you in peace.

℣. Aspíciam vos, et créscere fáciam: multiplicabímini, et firmábo pactum meum vobíscum.

℣. I will look again upon you and make you to increase ye shall be multiplied, and I will establish My covenant with you.

℟. Visitáre vos in pace.

℟. To visit you in peace.

℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

℟. Visitáre vos in pace.

℟. To visit you in peace.
