< Isaiah 60 >

1 Arise, O Ierusalem: be bright, for thy light is come, and the glorie of the Lord is risen vpon thee.
Surge illuminare Ierusalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
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.
Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram, et caligo populos: super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria eius in te videbitur.
3 And the Gentiles shall walke in thy light, and Kings at the brightnesse of thy rising vp.
Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
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.
Leva in circuitu oculos tuos, et vide: omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi: filii tui de longe venient, et filiæ tuæ de latere surgent.
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.
Tunc videbis, et afflues, mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum, quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris, fortitudo gentium venerit tibi:
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.
Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha: omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annunciantes.
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.
Omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi, arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi: offerentur super placabili altari meo, et domum maiestatis meæ glorificabo.
8 Who are these that flee like a cloude, and as the doues to their windowes?
Qui sunt isti, qui ut nubes volant, et quasi columbæ ad fenestras suas?
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.
Me enim insulæ expectant, et naves maris in principio ut adducam filios tuos de longe: argentum eorum, et aurum eorum cum eis nomini Domini Dei tui, et Sancto Israel, quia glorificavit te.
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.
Et ædificabunt filii peregrinorum muros tuos, et reges eorum ministrabunt tibi: in indignatione enim mea percussi te: et in reconciliatione mea misertus sum tui.
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.
Et aperientur portæ tuæ iugiter: die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo gentium, et reges earum adducantur:
12 For the nation and the kingdome, that will not serue thee, shall perish: and those nations shalbe vtterly destroyed.
gens enim et regnum, quod non servierit tibi, peribit: et Gentes solitudine vastabuntur.
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.
Gloria Libani ad te veniet, abies et buxus, et pinus simul ad ornandum locum sanctificationis meæ, et locum pedum meorum glorificabo.
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.
Et venient ad te curvi filii eorum, qui humiliaverunt te, et adorabunt vestigia pedum tuorum omnes, qui detrahebant tibi, et vocabunt te civitatem Domini, Sion Sancti Israel.
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.
Pro eo quod fuisti derelicta, et odio habita, et non erat qui per te transiret, ponam te in superbiam sæculorum, gaudium in generationem et generationem:
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.
et suges lac Gentium, et mamilla regum lactaberis: et scies quia ego Dominus Salvans te, et Redemptor tuus Fortis Iacob.
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.
Pro ære afferam aurum, et pro ferro afferam argentum: et pro lignis æs, et pro lapidibus ferrum: et ponam visitationem tuam pacem, et præpositos tuos iustitiam.
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.
Non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua, vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis, et occupabit salus muros tuos, et portas tuas laudatio.
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.
Non erit tibi amplius sol ad lucendum per diem, nec splendor lunæ illuminabit te: sed erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et Deus tuus in gloriam tuam.
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.
Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur: quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
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.
Populus autem tuus omnes iusti, in perpetuum hereditabunt terram, germen plantationis meæ, opus manus meæ ad glorificandum.
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.
Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortissimam: ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud.
