Isaiah 60
1 [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!
[Surge, illuminare, Jerusalem, quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
2 [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.
Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram, et caligo populos; super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria ejus in te videbitur.
3 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.
Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
4 [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.
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 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.
Tunc videbis, et afflues; mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum: quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris; fortitudo gentium venerit tibi.
6 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.
Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha; omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annuntiantes.
7 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.
Omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi; arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi: offerentur super placabili altari meo, et domum majestatis meæ glorificabo.
8 And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
Qui sunt isti qui ut nubes volant, et quasi columbæ ad fenestras suas?
9 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.
Me enim insulæ exspectant, et naves maris in principio, ut adducam filios tuos de longe; argentum eorum, et aurum eorum cum eis, nomini Domini Dei tui, et Sancto Israël, quia glorificavit te.
10 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.
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 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.
Et aperientur portæ tuæ jugiter; die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo gentium, et reges earum adducantur.
12 And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
Gens enim et regnum quod non servierit tibi peribit, et gentes solitudine vastabuntur.
13 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!
Gloria Libani ad te veniet, abies, et buxus, et pinus simul ad ornandum locum sanctificationis meæ; et locum pedum meorum glorificabo.
14 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.
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 Israël.
15 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.
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 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.
et suges lac gentium, et mamilla regum lactaberis; et scies quia ego Dominus salvans te, et redemptor tuus, Fortis Jacob.
17 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.
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 justitiam.
18 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].
Non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua; vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis: et occupabit salus muros tuos, et portas tuas laudatio.
19 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.
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 [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].
Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur, quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
21 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.
Populus autem tuus omnes justi; in perpetuum hæreditabunt terram: germen plantationis meæ, opus manus meæ ad glorificandum.
22 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.”
Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortissimam. Ego Dominus in tempore ejus subito faciam istud.]
