Isaiæ 60
1 Surge illuminare Ierusalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
2 Quia ecce tenebrae operient terram, et caligo populos: super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria eius in te videbitur.
For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.
3 Et ambulabunt Gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4 Leva in circuitu oculos tuos, et vide: omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi: filii tui de longe venient, et filiae tuae de latere surgent.
Lift up your eyes and look around: They all gather and come to you; your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried on the arm.
5 Tunc videbis, et afflues, mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris, fortitudo Gentium venerit tibi:
Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and swell with joy, because the riches of the sea will be brought to you, and the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6 Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha: omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annunciantes.
Caravans of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah, and all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.
7 Omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi, arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi: offerentur super placabili altari meo, et domum maiestatis meae glorificabo.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will serve you and go up on My altar with acceptance; I will adorn My glorious house.
8 Qui sunt isti, qui ut nubes volant, et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas?
Who are these who fly like clouds, like doves to their shelters?
9 Me enim insulae 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, qui glorificavit te.
Surely the islands will wait for Me, with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.
10 Et aedificabunt filii peregrinorum muros tuos, et reges eorum ministrabunt tibi: in indignatione enim mea percussi te: et in reconciliatione mea misertus sum tui.
Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Although I struck you in anger, yet in favor I will show you mercy.
11 Et aperientur portae tuae iugiter: die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo Gentium, et reges earum adducantur.
Your gates will always stand open; they will never be shut, day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession.
12 Gens enim et regnum, quod non servierit tibi, peribit: et Gentes solitudine vastabuntur.
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly destroyed.
13 Gloria Libani ad te veniet, abies et buxus, et pinus simul ad ornandum locum sanctificationis meae, et locum pedum meorum glorificabo.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you— its cypress, elm, and boxwood together— to adorn the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet.
14 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.
The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Pro eo quod fuisti derelicta, et odio habita, et non erat qui per te transiret, ponam te in superbiam saeculorum, gaudium in generatione et generationem:
Whereas you have been forsaken and despised, with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from age to age.
16 et suges lac Gentium, et mamilla regum lactaberis: et scies quia ego Dominus salvans te, et redemptor tuus fortis Iacob.
You will drink the milk of nations and nurse at the breasts of royalty; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Pro aere afferam aurum, et pro ferro afferam argentum: et pro lignis aes, et pro lapidibus ferrum: et ponam visitationem tuam pacem, et praepositos tuos iustitiam.
Instead of bronze I will bring you gold; I will bring silver in place of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. I will appoint peace as your governor and righteousness as your ruler.
18 Non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua, vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis, et occupabit salus muros tuos, et portas tuas laudatio.
No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders. But you will name your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
19 Non erit tibi amplius sol ad lucendum per diem, nec splendor lunae illuminabit te: sed erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et Deus tuus in gloriam tuam.
No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.
20 Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur: quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.
21 Populus autem tuus omnes iusti, in perpetuum hereditabunt terram, germen plantationis meae, opus manus meae ad glorificandum.
Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.
22 Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortissimam: ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud.
The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will accomplish it quickly.
