Isaiæ 60

1 surge inluminare quia venit lumen tuum et gloria Domini super te orta est

Arise—shine, For thy light, hath come, —And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;

2 quia ecce tenebrae operient terram et caligo populos super te autem orietur Dominus et gloria eius in te videbitur

For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom the peoples, —But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee is seen.

3 et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo et reges in splendore ortus tui

So shall nations come to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy dawning.

4 leva in circuitu oculos tuos et vide omnes isti congregati sunt venerunt tibi filii tui de longe venient et filiae tuae in latere sugent

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.

5 tunc videbis et afflues et mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris fortitudo gentium venerit tibi

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;

6 inundatio camelorum operiet te dromedariae Madian et Efa omnes de Saba venient aurum et tus deferentes et laudem Domino adnuntiantes

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:

7 omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi offerentur super placabili altari meo et domum maiestatis meae glorificabo

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.

8 qui sunt isti qui ut nubes volant et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas

Who are these that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?

9 me enim insulae 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 Israhel quia glorificavit te

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.

10 et aedificabunt filii peregrinorum muros tuos et reges eorum ministrabunt tibi in indignatione enim mea percussi te et in reconciliatione mea misertus sum tui

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.

11 et aperientur portae tuae iugiter die et nocte non claudentur ut adferatur ad te fortitudo gentium et reges earum adducantur

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.

12 gens enim et regnum quod non servierit tibi peribit et gentes solitudine vastabuntur

For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish, —Yea the nations, shall be utterly wasted.

13 gloria Libani ad te veniet abies et buxus et pinus simul ad ornandum locum sanctificationis meae et locum pedum meorum glorificabo

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.

14 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 Israhel

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.

15 pro eo quod fuisti derelicta et odio habita et non erat qui per te transiret ponam te in superbiam saeculorum gaudium in generationem et generationem

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.

16 et suges lac gentium et mamilla regum lactaberis et scies quia ego Dominus salvans te et redemptor tuus Fortis Iacob

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.

17 pro aere adferam aurum et pro ferro adferam argentum et pro lignis aes et pro lapidibus ferrum et ponam visitationem tuam pacem et praepositos tuos iustitiam

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.

18 non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis et occupabit salus muros tuos et portas tuas laudatio

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.

19 non erit tibi amplius sol ad lucendum per diem nec splendor lunae inluminabit te sed erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam et Deus tuus in gloriam tuam

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:

20 non occidet ultra sol tuus et luna tua non minuetur quia Dominus erit in lucem sempiternam et conplebuntur dies luctus tui

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.

21 populus autem tuus omnes iusti in perpetuum hereditabunt terram germen plantationis meae opus manus meae ad glorificandum

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.

22 minimus erit in mille et parvulus in gentem fortissimam ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud

The little one, shall become a thousand, and the small one, a mighty nation: I—Yahweh, in its own season, will hasten it.
