Isaiæ 60
1 surge inluminare quia venit lumen tuum et gloria Domini super te orta est
Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour of Jehovah hath risen on thee.
2 quia ecce tenebrae operient terram et caligo populos super te autem orietur Dominus et gloria eius in te videbitur
For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His honour on thee is seen.
3 et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo et reges in splendore ortus tui
And come have nations 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 in latere sugent
Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do come, And thy daughters on the side are supported.
5 tunc videbis et afflues et mirabitur et dilatabitur cor tuum quando conversa fuerit ad te multitudo maris fortitudo gentium venerit tibi
Then thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do 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 company of camels covereth thee, Dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, All of them from Sheba do come, Gold and frankincense they bear, And of the praises of Jehovah they proclaim the tidings.
7 omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi offerentur super placabili altari meo et domum maiestatis meae glorificabo
All the flock of Kedar are gathered to thee, The rams of Nebaioth do serve thee, They ascend for acceptance Mine altar, And the house of My beauty I beautify.
8 qui sunt isti qui ut nubes volant et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas
Who [are] these — as a thick cloud they fly, And as doves unto 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 Israhel quia glorificavit te
Surely for Me isles do wait, And ships of Tarshish first, To bring thy sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of Jehovah thy God, And to the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified 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 sons of a stranger have built thy walls, And their kings do serve thee, For in My wrath I have smitten thee, And in My good pleasure I have pitied thee.
11 et aperientur portae tuae iugiter die et nocte non claudentur ut adferatur ad te fortitudo gentium et reges earum adducantur
And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led.
12 gens enim et regnum quod non servierit tibi peribit et gentes solitudine vastabuntur
For the nation and the kingdom that do not serve thee perish, Yea, the nations are 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 honour of Lebanon unto thee doth come, Fir, pine, and box together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary, And the place of My feet I make honourable.
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
And come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: 'City of Jehovah, 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 thy being forsaken and hated, And none passing through, I have made thee for an excellency age-during, A joy of generation and generation.
16 et suges lac gentium et mamilla regum lactaberis et scies quia ego Dominus salvans te et redemptor tuus Fortis Iacob
And thou hast sucked the milk of nations, Yea, the breast of kings thou suckest, And thou hast known that I, Jehovah, Thy Saviour, and Thy Redeemer, [Am] 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 the brass I bring in gold, And instead of the iron I bring in silver, And instead of the wood brass, And instead of the stone iron, And I have made thy inspection peace, And thy 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 is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called 'Salvation' thy walls, 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
To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty.
20 non occidet ultra sol tuus et luna tua non minuetur quia Dominus erit in lucem sempiternam et conplebuntur dies luctus tui
Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been completed.
21 populus autem tuus omnes iusti in perpetuum hereditabunt terram germen plantationis meae opus manus meae ad glorificandum
And thy people [are] all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified.
22 minimus erit in mille et parvulus in gentem fortissimam ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud
The little one doth become a chief, And the small one a mighty nation, I, Jehovah, in its own time do hasten it!
