< Isaiah 60 >
1 Arise, O Ierusalem: be bright, for thy light is come, and the glorie of the Lord is risen vpon thee.
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 beholde, darkenesse shall couer the earth, and grosse darkenesse the people: but the Lord shall arise vpon thee, and his glory shall be seene vpon thee.
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 And the Gentiles shall walke in thy light, and Kings at the brightnesse of thy rising vp.
萬國要來就你的光; 君王要來就你發現的光輝。
4 Lift vp thine eyes round about, and beholde: all these are gathered, and come to thee: thy sonnes shall come from farre, and thy daughters shalbe nourished at thy side.
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 thou shalt see and shine: thine heart shall be astonied and enlarged, because the multitude of the sea shalbe conuerted vnto thee, and the riches of the Gentiles shall come vnto thee.
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 The multitude of camels shall couer thee: and the dromedaries of Midian and of Ephah: all they of Sheba shall come: they shall bring golde and incense, and shewe foorth the prayses 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 sheepe of Kedar shall be gathered vnto thee: the rammes of Nebaioth shall serue thee: they shall come vp to bee accepted vpon mine altar: and I will beautifie the house of my glorie.
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 that flee like a cloude, and as the doues to their windowes?
那些飛來如雲、 又如鴿子向窗戶飛回的是誰呢?
9 Surely the yles shall waite for mee, and the shippes of Tarshish, as at the beginning, that they may bring thy sonnes from farre, and their siluer, and their golde with them, vnto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy one of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
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 And the sonnes of strangers shall builde vp thy walles, and their Kings shall minister vnto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my mercie I had compassion on thee.
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 Therefore thy gates shalbe open continually: neither day nor night shall they be shutte, that men may bring vnto thee the riches of the Gentiles, and that their Kings may be brought.
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 the nation and the kingdome, that will not serue thee, shall perish: and those nations shalbe vtterly destroyed.
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 vnto thee, the firre tree, the elme and the boxe tree together, to beautifie the place of my Sanctuarie: for I will glorifie the place of my feete.
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 sonnes also of them that afflicted thee, shall come and bowe vnto thee: and all they that despised thee, shall fall downe at the soles of thy feete: and they shall call thee, The citie of the Lord, 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 Where as thou hast bene forsaken and hated: so that no man went by thee, I will make thee an eternall glorie, and a ioye from generation to generation.
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 Thou shalt also sucke ye milke of the Gentiles, and shalt sucke the breastes of Kings: and thou shalt know, that I the Lord am thy Sauiour, and thy Redeemer, the mightie one of Iaakob.
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 brasse will I bring golde, and for yron will I bring siluer, and for wood brasse, and for stones yron. I will also make thy gouernement peace, and thine exactours righteousnesse.
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 of in thy land, neither desolation, nor destruction within thy borders: but thou shalt call saluation, thy walles, and praise, thy gates.
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 Thou shalt haue no more sunne to shine by day, neither shall the brightnesse of the moone shine vnto thee: for the Lord shall be thine euerlasting light, and thy God, thy glorie.
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 Thy sunne shall neuer goe downe, neither shall thy moone be hid: for the Lord shalbe thine euerlasting light, and the dayes of thy sorowe shalbe ended.
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 Thy people also shalbe all righteous: they shall possesse the land for euer, the grasse of my planting shalbe the worke of mine handes, 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 A litle one shall become as a thousande, and a small one as a strong nation: I the Lord wil hasten it in due 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。
