< 以賽亞書 60 >

1 耶路撒冷啊!起來炫耀罷!因為你的光明已經來到,上主的榮耀已經照耀在你身上。
Arise, give light, for thy light is come; and the glory of the Lord is shining forth over thee.
2 看啊!黑暗籠罩著大地,陰雲遮蔽著萬民;但上主卻照耀著你,他的榮耀要彰顯在你的身上。
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and a gross darkness the people; but over thee will shine forth the Lord, and his glory will be seen over thee.
3 萬民要奔赴你的光明,眾王要投奔你升起的光輝。
And nations shall walk by thy light, and kings by the brightness of thy shining.
4 舉起你的眼向四方觀望罷!他們都聚集來到你這裏:你的眾子要從遠方而來,你的女兒要被抱回來。
Lift up thy eyes round about and see, they all are assembled, they come to thee, thy sons are coming from afar, and thy daughters are brought along in arms.
5 那時,你見到這情形,必要喜形於色,你的心靈必要激動而舒暢,因為海洋的珍寶都要歸於你,萬民的財富都要歸你所有。
Then wilt thou see and be filled with light, and thy heart will dread and be enlarged; because unto thee shall be turned the abundance of the sea, the riches of nations shall come unto thee.
6 成群結隊的駱駝,以及米德楊和厄法的獨峰駝要遮蔽你,牠們都是由舍巴滿載黃金和乳香而來,宣揚上主的榮耀。
The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and 'Ephah; they all from Sheba shall come: gold and frankincense shall they carry, and the praises of the Lord shall they announce.
7 刻達爾的一切羊群都要聚在你前,乃巴約特的公羊都要供你使用;牠們要登上我的祭壇作為我歡悅的祭品,以光榮我榮耀的處所。
All the flocks of Kedar shall be assembled unto thee, the rams of Nebayoth shall minister unto thee: they shall come for a favorable acceptance [unto me] upon my altar, and the house of my glory will I glorify.
8 那些像雲彩飛來,像鴿子回籠的是誰﹖
Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like the doves, to their windows?
9 那是為我集合起來的船隻,塔爾史士的船隻為首,從遠處帶來了你的子女,以及他們的金銀;這都是為了上主你的天主的名,為了那光榮你的以色列的聖者的緣故。
Yea, unto me [the inhabitants of] the isles shall hasten, and the ships of Tharshish at first, to bring thy sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel; because he hath glorified thee.
10 外邦的子民要修建你的城垣,他們的君王要來事奉你,因為我在怒氣中打擊了你,但我在慈悲中又憐憫了你。
And the sons of the stranger shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee; for in my wrath did I smite thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee.
11 你的門要時常敞開,白天黑夜都不要關閉,好讓萬民的財富,在他們的君王領導下,運到你這裏來。
And thy gates shall stand open continually, day and night shall they not be closed, to bring unto thee the wealth of nations, and their kings led [captive].
12 因為凡不肯事奉你的民族和國家,必要滅亡,這樣的民族必要完全滅絕。
For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and the nations shall be utterly destroyed.
13 黎巴嫩的光榮要歸於你;柏樹、榆樹和松樹都要聚在一起,裝飾我的聖所,因為我要光榮我立足之地。
The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir, the cypress, and the box together, to adorn the place of my sanctuary, and the [resting] place of my feet will I glorify.
14 曾經欺壓過你者的子孫,要來向你屈服;凡輕視過你的人,都要在你腳前下拜;他們要稱呼你為「上主的城,」「以色列聖者的熙雍。」
And then shall come unto thee bent down the sons of those who afflicted thee, and there shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet all thy revilers; and they shall call thee, The city of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 我要使你成為萬世的尊榮,萬代的喜悅,以代你從前所受的遺棄、惱恨,與無人經過的痛苦。
Instead that thou wast forsaken and hated, without one to pass through [thee], will I render thee an excellency of everlasting, a joy of all generations.
16 你要吸萬國的奶,吮眾王的乳房,這樣你將知道我,上主,是你的拯救者,你的救主,雅各伯的強有力者。
And thou shalt suck the milk of nations, and the breast of kings shalt thou suck; and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 我要以金子來代替黃銅,以銀子代替鐵,以黃銅代替木頭,以鐵代替石頭;我要立「和平」為你的官長,立「正義」為你的政要。
Instead of the copper will I bring gold, and instead of the iron will I bring silver, and instead of wood copper, and instead of the stones iron; and I will set peace as thy authorities, and righteousness as thy taskmasters.
18 在你的地域裏再聽不到強暴的事情;你要稱你的城垣為「救恩,」你的城門為「讚揚。」
There shall not be heard any wore violence in thy land, wasting and destruction within thy boundaries; but thou shalt call, Salvation, thy walls, and thy gates, Praise.
19 太陽不再是你白天的光明,月亮也不再照耀你,上主要作你永久的光明,你的天主要作你的光輝。
The sun shall not be unto thee any more for a light by day, and for brightness shall the moon not give light unto thee; but the Lord will be unto thee for a light of everlasting, and thy God as thy glory.
20 你的太陽再不降落,你的月亮再不虧缺,因為上主要作你永久的光明,你悲哀的日子已經終結。
Thy sun shall not go down any more, and thy moon shall not be withdrawn; for the Lord will be unto thee for a light of everlasting, and ended shall be the days of thy mourning,
21 你的人民都要成為義人,要永遠繼承地業,因為他們是我所栽植的嫩芽,是我手中的工程,使我得到榮耀。
And thy people—they all will be righteous, for ever shall they possess the land, the sprout of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may glorify myself.
22 渺小的要成為千人村,微弱的要成為強大的民族:我是上主,我要在定期中迅速完成此事。
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small, a mighty nation: I the Lord will hasten it in its time.
