Isaiah 60
1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
興起，發光！因為你的光已經來到！ 耶和華的榮耀發現照耀你。
2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
看哪，黑暗遮蓋大地， 幽暗遮蓋萬民， 耶和華卻要顯現照耀你； 他的榮耀要現在你身上。
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
萬國要來就你的光； 君王要來就你發現的光輝。
4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
你舉目向四方觀看； 眾人都聚集來到你這裏。 你的眾子從遠方而來； 你的眾女也被懷抱而來。
5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
那時，你看見就有光榮； 你心又跳動又寬暢； 因為大海豐盛的貨物必轉來歸你； 列國的財寶也必來歸你。
6 A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Efah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of the LORD.
成群的駱駝， 並米甸和以法的獨峰駝必遮滿你； 示巴的眾人都必來到； 要奉上黃金乳香， 又要傳說耶和華的讚美。
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
基達的羊群都必聚集到你這裏， 尼拜約的公羊要供你使用， 在我壇上必蒙悅納； 我必榮耀我榮耀的殿。
8 “Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
那些飛來如雲、 又如鴿子向窗戶飛回的是誰呢？
9 Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
眾海島必等候我， 首先是他施的船隻， 將你的眾子連他們的金銀從遠方一同帶來， 都為耶和華－你上帝的名， 又為以色列的聖者， 因為他已經榮耀了你。
10 “Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favour I have had mercy on you.
外邦人必建築你的城牆； 他們的王必服事你。 我曾發怒擊打你， 現今卻施恩憐恤你。
11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
你的城門必時常開放， 晝夜不關； 使人把列國的財物帶來歸你， 並將他們的君王牽引而來。
12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
哪一邦哪一國不事奉你，就必滅亡， 也必全然荒廢。
13 “The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
黎巴嫩的榮耀， 就是松樹、杉樹、黃楊樹， 都必一同歸你， 為要修飾我聖所之地； 我也要使我腳踏之處得榮耀。
14 The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
素來苦待你的，他的子孫都必屈身來就你； 藐視你的，都要在你腳下跪拜。 他們要稱你為「耶和華的城」， 為「以色列聖者的錫安」。
15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
你雖然被撇棄被厭惡， 甚至無人經過， 我卻使你變為永遠的榮華， 成為累代的喜樂。
16 You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
你也必吃萬國的奶， 又吃君王的奶。 你便知道我－耶和華是你的救主， 是你的救贖主，雅各的大能者。
17 For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
我要拿金子代替銅， 拿銀子代替鐵， 拿銅代替木頭， 拿鐵代替石頭； 並要以和平為你的官長， 以公義為你的監督。
18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
你地上不再聽見強暴的事， 境內不再聽見荒涼毀滅的事。 你必稱你的牆為「拯救」， 稱你的門為「讚美」。
19 The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
日頭不再作你白晝的光； 月亮也不再發光照耀你。 耶和華卻要作你永遠的光； 你上帝要為你的榮耀。
20 Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
你的日頭不再下落； 你的月亮也不退縮； 因為耶和華必作你永遠的光。 你悲哀的日子也完畢了。
21 Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
你的居民都成為義人， 永遠得地為業； 是我種的栽子，我手的工作， 使我得榮耀。
22 The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
至小的族要加增千倍； 微弱的國必成為強盛。 我－耶和華要按定期速成這事。
