< Isaiah 60 >

1 Arise—shine, For thy light, hath come, —And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;
Surge illuminare Ierusalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
2 For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom the peoples, —But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee is seen.
Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram, et caligo populos: super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria eius in te videbitur.
3 So shall nations come to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy dawning.
Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
4 Lift up—round about—thine eyes and see, They all, have gathered themselves together—have come to thee, —Thy sons, from afar shall come, And thy daughters, on the side, shall be carried.
Leva in circuitu oculos tuos, et vide: omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi: filii tui de longe venient, et filiæ tuæ de latere surgent.
5 Then, shalt thou see and be radiant, And thy heart, shall throb and be enlarged, —For there shall be turned upon thee the fulness of the sea, The riches of the nations, shall come unto thee;
Tunc videbis, et afflues, mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum, quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris, fortitudo gentium venerit tibi:
6 The multitude of camels, shall cover thee The young camels of Midian and Ephah, All they of Sheba, shall come, —Gold and frankincense, shall they bring, And, the praises of Yahweh, shall they joyfully tell:
Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha: omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annunciantes.
7 All the flocks of Kedar, shall be gathered unto thee, The rams of Nebaioth, shall wait upon thee, —They shall come up, with acceptance, on mine altar, And my beautiful house, will I adorn.
Omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi, arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi: offerentur super placabili altari meo, et domum maiestatis meæ glorificabo.
8 Who are these that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?
Qui sunt isti, qui ut nubes volant, et quasi columbæ ad fenestras suas?
9 Surely for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them, —Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel Because he hath adorned thee.
Me enim insulæ expectant, et naves maris in principio ut adducam filios tuos de longe: argentum eorum, et aurum eorum cum eis nomini Domini Dei tui, et Sancto Israel, quia glorificavit te.
10 So shall the sons of the foreigner, build thy walls, And their kings, shall wait upon thee, —For in my vexation, I smote thee, But in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee.
Et ædificabunt filii peregrinorum muros tuos, et reges eorum ministrabunt tibi: in indignatione enim mea percussi te: et in reconciliatione mea misertus sum tui.
11 So shall thy gates be open—continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut, —That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And their kings, be led.
Et aperientur portæ tuæ iugiter: die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo gentium, et reges earum adducantur:
12 For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish, —Yea the nations, shall be utterly wasted.
gens enim et regnum, quod non servierit tibi, peribit: et Gentes solitudine vastabuntur.
13 The glory of Lebanon, unto thee, shall come, The fir-tree the holm-oak, and the sherbin-cedar, together, To adorn the place of my sanctuary, And the place of my feet, will I make glorious.
Gloria Libani ad te veniet, abies et buxus, et pinus simul ad ornandum locum sanctificationis meæ, et locum pedum meorum glorificabo.
14 Then shall come unto thee bending low, The sons of them who had humbled thee, Then shall bow down, unto the soles of thy feet, All they who had despised thee; And they shall call thee—The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Et venient ad te curvi filii eorum, qui humiliaverunt te, et adorabunt vestigia pedum tuorum omnes, qui detrahebant tibi, et vocabunt te civitatem Domini, Sion Sancti Israel.
15 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated so that none used to pass through thee, I will make of thee—An excellency age-abiding, The joy of generation after generation.
Pro eo quod fuisti derelicta, et odio habita, et non erat qui per te transiret, ponam te in superbiam sæculorum, gaudium in generationem et generationem:
16 And thou shalt derive sweet nourishment from the nations, Yea on the bounty of kings, shalt thou be sustained, —So shalt thou know—That, I, Yahweh, am thy Saviour, and That, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob.
et suges lac Gentium, et mamilla regum lactaberis: et scies quia ego Dominus Salvans te, et Redemptor tuus Fortis Iacob.
17 Instead of bronze, I will bring in, gold, and Instead of iron, I will bring in silver, and Instead of wood, bronze, and Instead of stones, iron, —And I will appoint the oversight of thee to Prosperity, And the setting of thy tasks to Righteousness.
Pro ære afferam aurum, et pro ferro afferam argentum: et pro lignis æs, et pro lapidibus ferrum: et ponam visitationem tuam pacem, et præpositos tuos iustitiam.
18 Violence, shall no more be heard, in thy land, Wasting nor destruction within thy boundaries, —But thou shalt call Thy walls, Victory, and Thy gates, Praise.
Non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua, vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis, et occupabit salus muros tuos, et portas tuas laudatio.
19 Thou shalt no more have the sun, for light by day, neither for brightness, shall the moon, give light unto thee, —But Yahweh shall become thine age-abiding light, And thy God thine adorning:
Non erit tibi amplius sol ad lucendum per diem, nec splendor lunæ illuminabit te: sed erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et Deus tuus in gloriam tuam.
20 No more shall go in, thy sun, Nor thy moon, withdraw itself, —For, Yahweh, will become to thee an age-abiding light, So shall be ended the days of thy mourning.
Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur: quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
21 And, thy people, shall all of them, be righteous, To times age-abiding, shall they possess, the land, —The sprout of mine own planting, The work of mine own hands, —That I may get myself glory.
Populus autem tuus omnes iusti, in perpetuum hereditabunt terram, germen plantationis meæ, opus manus meæ ad glorificandum.
22 The little one, shall become a thousand, and the small one, a mighty nation: I—Yahweh, in its own season, will hasten it.
Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortissimam: ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud.
