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!
Statt upp, var ljus; ty ditt ljus kommer, och Herrans härlighet går upp öfver dig.
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.
Ty si, mörker öfvertäcker jordena, och mörkhet folken; men öfver dig uppgår Herren, och hans härlighet skall synas öfver dig.
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.
Och Hedningarna skola vandra i dino ljuse, och Konungar uti skenet, som uppgår öfver dig.
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.
Lyft upp din ögon, och se omkring dig; desse alle församlade komma till dig; dine söner skola komma fjerranefter, och dina döttrar vid sidona uppfödda varda.
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.
Då skall du se dina lust, och utbrista, och ditt hjerta skall förundra och utvidga sig, när den stora hopen vid hafvet vänder sig till dig, och Hedningarnas magt kommer till dig.
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.
Ty de månge cameler skola öfvertäcka dig, de löpare af Midian och Epha. Af Saba skola de alle komma, guld och rökelse föra, och Herrans lof förkunna.
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.
Alle hjordar i Kedar skola till dig församlade varda, och Nebajoths bockar skola tjena dig; de skola uppå mitt tacknämliga altare offrade varda; ty jag vill pryda mins härlighets hus.
8 And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
Hvilke äro de som flyga såsom skyar, och såsom dufvor till deras fenster?
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.
Öarna förbida mig, och skeppen i hafvet för långan tid, att de skola hafva din barn fram ifrå fjerran, samt med deras silfver och guld, Herrans dins Guds Namne, och den Heliga i Israel, den dig härligan gjort hafver.
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.
Främmande skola bygga dina murar, och deras Konungar skola tjena dig; ty uti mine vrede hafver jag slagit dig, och i mine nåd förbarmar jag mig öfver dig.
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.
Och dine portar skola städse öppne stå, hvarken dag eller natt tillslutne varda, att Hedningarnas magt skall till dig hafd varda, och deras Konungar tillförde varda.
12 And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
Ty hvilke Hedningar eller Konungarike icke vilja tjena dig, de skola förgås, och Hedningarna förödde blifva.
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!
Libanons härlighet skall till dig komma; furu, bok och buxbom tillsammans, till att bepryda mins helgedoms rum; ty jag vill mina fötters rum härligit göra.
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.
Skola ock de, som dig undertryckt hafva, bugande komma till dig, och alle de, som dig försmädat hafva, skola nederfalla till dina fötter, och skola kalla, dig en Herrans stad, ett Zion dens Heligas i Israel.
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.
Ty derföre, att du hafver varit öfvergifven och förhatad, der ingen gick, vill jag göra dig till härlighet evinnerliga, och till glädje utan ända;
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.
Så att du skall suga mjölk af Hedningomen, och Konungabröst skola dig suga gifva; på det du skall förnimma, att jag, Herren, är din Frälsare, och jag, den mägtiga i Jacob, är din förlossare.
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.
Jag vill låta komma guld för koppar, och silfver för jern, och koppar för trä, och jern för sten; och vill så görat, att dine föreståndare skola, frid lära, och dine skaffare predika rättfärdighet.
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].
Man skall ingen orätt mer höra uti ditt land, ej heller skada eller förderf uti dina gränsor; utan dine murar skola heta salighet, och dine portar lof.
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.
Solen skall icke mer skina dig om dagen, och månens sken skall icke mer lysa dig; utan Herren varder ditt eviga ljus, och din Gud skall din pris vara.
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].
Din sol skall icke mer nedergå, eller din måne tappa sitt sken; ty Herren skall vara ditt eviga ljus, och dine sorgedagar skola en ända hafva.
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.
Och ditt folk skola allesamman vara rättfärdige, och skola besitta jordena evinnerliga; såsom de der mine planterings qvist, och mina händers verk äro, till pris.
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.”
Utaf dem minsta skola varda tusende, och utaf dem ringesta ett mägtigt folk; Jag, Herren, vill detta i sinom tid snarliga uträtta.
