Isaiæ 60
1 Surge illuminare Ierusalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 Quia ecce tenebrae operient terram, et caligo populos: super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria eius in te videbitur.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 Et ambulabunt Gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
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 thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.
5 Tunc videbis, et afflues, mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris, fortitudo Gentium venerit tibi:
Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
6 Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha: omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annunciantes.
The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth 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 shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Qui sunt isti, qui ut nubes volant, et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas?
Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
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 isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
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.
And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
11 Et aperientur portae tuae iugiter: die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo Gentium, et reges earum adducantur.
Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.
12 Gens enim et regnum, quod non servierit tibi, peribit: et Gentes solitudine vastabuntur.
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.
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 shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
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 also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The 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 thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 et suges lac Gentium, et mamilla regum lactaberis: et scies quia ego Dominus salvans te, et redemptor tuus fortis Iacob.
Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy 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.
For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
18 Non audietur ultra iniquitas in terra tua, vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis, et occupabit salus muros tuos, et portas tuas laudatio.
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy 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.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
20 Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur: quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
21 Populus autem tuus omnes iusti, in perpetuum hereditabunt terram, germen plantationis meae, opus manus meae ad glorificandum.
Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortissimam: ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud.
A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
