< 以賽亞書 60 >
1 興起,發光!因為你的光已經來到! 耶和華的榮耀發現照耀你。
Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen on you.
2 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。
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 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。
Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to you: your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
5 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。
Then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted to you, the forces of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6 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。
The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.
7 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。
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you: they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 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。
Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the LORD your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 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。
And the sons of strangers shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I smote you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 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。
Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
12 哪一邦哪一國不事奉你,就必滅亡, 也必全然荒廢。
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 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。
The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 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」。
The sons also of them that afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all they that despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 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。
Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 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。
You shall also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shall suck the breast of kings: and you shall know that I the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
17 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。
For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make your officers peace, and your exactors righteousness.
18 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」。
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 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。
The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but the LORD shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
20 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。
Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21 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。
Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 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。
A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
