Isaiæ 60
1 surge inluminare quia venit lumen tuum et gloria Domini super te orta est
Arise, shine! for thy light is come, And the glory of Jehovah 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, darkness shall cover the earth, And gross darkness the nations; But upon thee shall Jehovah arise, And his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo et reges in splendore ortus tui
Nations shall come to thy light, And kings to the brightness that riseth upon thee.
4 leva in circuitu oculos tuos et vide omnes isti congregati sunt venerunt tibi filii tui de longe venient et filiae tuae in latere sugent
Lift up thine eyes round about and see! They all gather themselves together, and come to thee; Thy sons come from afar, And thy daughters are carried at thy side.
5 tunc videbis et afflues et mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris fortitudo gentium venerit tibi
Then shalt thou see, and be bright with joy; Thy heart shall throb, and swell with delight, When the riches of the sea shall be turned toward thee, And the wealth of the nations shall come to thee.
6 inundatio camelorum operiet te dromedariae Madian et Efa omnes de Saba venient aurum et tus deferentes et laudem Domino adnuntiantes
A multitude of camels shall cover thee, Dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; From Sheba shall they all come. Gold and frankincense shall they bring, And proclaim the praises of Jehovah.
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 to thee, And the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to thee; They shall ascend mine altar, an acceptable offering, And my glorious house I will adorn.
8 qui sunt isti qui ut nubes volant et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas
Who are these that fly like clouds, And like doves to their habitations?
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 Israhel quia glorificavit te
Behold, the distant coasts shall wait for me, And the ships of Tarshish among the first, To bring thy sons from afar, And their silver and their gold with them, Because of the name of Jehovah thy God, Of the Holy One of Israel, for he glorifieth 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
The sons of the stranger shall build up thy walls, And their kings shall minister to thee; For in my wrath I smote thee, But in my mercy will I have pity upon thee.
11 et aperientur portae tuae iugiter die et nocte non claudentur ut adferatur ad te fortitudo gentium et reges earum adducantur
Thy gates shall be open continually; They shall not be shut by day or by night, That the treasures of the nations may be brought to thee, And that their kings may come with their retinues.
12 gens enim et regnum quod non servierit tibi peribit et gentes solitudine vastabuntur
For that nation and that kingdom Which will not serve thee shall perish; Yea, those nations shall 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 shall come to thee, The cypress, the plane-tree, and the larch together, To adorn the place of my sanctuary, That I may make the place where my feet rest 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 Israhel
The sons of thine oppressors shall come bending before thee; They that despised thee shall fall down at thy feet; And they shall call thee the city of Jehovah, 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 generationem et generationem
Instead of being forsaken and hated, So that no one passed through thee, I will make thee an everlasting glory; The 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 nations, And be nursed from the breast of kings; And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy saviour, That thy redeemer is the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 pro aere adferam aurum et pro ferro adferam argentum et pro lignis aes et pro lapidibus ferrum et ponam visitationem tuam pacem et praepositos tuos iustitiam
Instead of brass will I bring gold; And instead of iron will I bring silver, And instead of wood, brass, And instead of stones, iron; I will make thine officers peace, And thy magistrates 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 or destruction within thy borders; Thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, And thy gates Praise.
19 non erit tibi amplius sol ad lucendum per diem nec splendor lunae inluminabit te sed erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam et Deus tuus in gloriam tuam
No more shall the sun be thy light by day, Nor with her brightness shall the moon enlighten thee: But Jehovah shall be to thee an everlasting light, And thy God thy glory.
20 non occidet ultra sol tuus et luna tua non minuetur quia Dominus erit in lucem sempiternam et conplebuntur dies luctus tui
Thy sun shall no more go down, Neither shall thy moon be hid; For Jehovah 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 shall be all righteous; Forever shall they possess the land, The scion 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
The little one shall become a thousand, And the small one a strong nation; I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.
