Isaiah 60:1-22

Rotherham(i) 1 Arise––shine, For thy light, hath come,––And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed; 2 For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom, the peoples,––But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee, is seen. 3 So shall nations come, to thy light, And kings, to the brightness of thy dawning. 4 Lift up––round about––thine eyes, and see, They all, have gathered themselves together––have come to thee,––Thy sons, from afar, shall come, And, thy daughters, on the side, shall be carried. 5 Then, shalt thou see, and be radiant, And thy heart, shall throb and be enlarged,––For there shall be turned upon thee the fulness of the sea, The riches of the nations, shall come unto thee; 6 The multitude of camels, shall cover thee, The young camels of Midian and Ephah, All they of Sheba, shall come,––Gold and frankincense, shall they bring, And, the praises of Yahweh, shall they joyfully tell: 7 All the flocks of Kedar, shall be gathered unto thee, The rams of Nebaioth, shall wait upon thee,––They shall come up, with acceptance, on mine altar, And, my beautiful, house, will I adorn. 8 Who are these, that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?
9 Surely, for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish, first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them,––Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel, Because he hath adorned thee. 10 So shall, the sons of the foreigner, build, thy walls, And, their kings, shall wait upon thee,––For, in my vexation, I smote thee, But, in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee. 11 So shall thy gates be open––continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut,––That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And, their kings, be led. 12 For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish,––Yea, the nations, shall be, utterly wasted. 13 The glory of Lebanon, unto thee, shall come, The fir–tree, the holm–oak, and the sherbin–cedar, together. To adorn the place of my sanctuary, And, the place of my feet, will I make glorious. 14 Then shall come unto thee, bending low, The sons of them who had humbled thee, Then shall bow down, unto the soles of thy feet, All they who had despised thee; And they shall call thee––The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, so that none, used to pass through thee, I will make of thee––An excellency age–abiding, The joy of generation after generation. 16 And thou shalt derive sweet nourishment from the nations, Yea, on the bounty of kings, shalt thou be sustained,––So shalt thou know––That, I, Yahweh, am thy Saviour, and, That, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob. 17 Instead of bronze, I will bring in, gold, and, Instead of iron, I will bring in, silver, and, Instead of wood, bronze, and, Instead of stones, iron,––And I will appoint the oversight of thee to, Prosperity, And the setting of thy tasks to, Righteousness. 18 Violence, shall no more be heard, in thy land, Wasting nor destruction, within thy boundaries,––But thou shalt call Thy walls, Victory, and, Thy gates, Praise. 19 Thou shalt no, more, have, the sun, for light by day, neither, for brightness, shall the moon give light unto thee,––But, Yahweh, shall become, thine age–abiding light, And, thy God, thine adorning: 20 No more shall go in, thy sun, Nor, thy moon, withdraw itself,––For, Yahweh, will become to thee, an age–abiding light, So shall be ended, the days of thy mourning. 21 And, thy people, shall, all of them, be righteous, To times age–abiding, shall they possess the land,––The sprout of mine own planting, The work of mine own hands,––That I may get myself glory. 22 The little one, shall become a thousand, and, The small one, a mighty nation: I––Yahweh, in its own season, will hasten it.
