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。
[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
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。
[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
3 萬國要來就你的光； 君王要來就你發現的光輝。
By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
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。
[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
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。
When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
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。
People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
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。
They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
8 那些飛來如雲、 又如鴿子向窗戶飛回的是誰呢？
And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
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。
But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored 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。
Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
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。
The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
12 哪一邦哪一國不事奉你，就必滅亡， 也必全然荒廢。
And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
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 glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be 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 descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
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。
Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
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。
People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
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。
Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
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」。
People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
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。
And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
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。
[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
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 will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
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。
At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
