Isaiah

The book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 60, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 60 Vulgate

   1 Surge, illuminare, quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est.
   2 Quia ecce tenebrae operient terram et caligo populos; super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria eius in te videbitur.
   3 Et ambulabunt gentes in lumine tuo, et reges in splendore ortus tui.
   4 Leva in circuitu oculos tuos et vide: omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi; filii tui de longe veniunt, et filiae tuae in ulnis gestantur.
   5 Tunc videbis et illuminaberis, et palpitabit et dilatabitur cor tuum, quia confluet ad te multitudo maris, fortitudo gentium veniet tibi;
   6 inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha; omnes de Saba venient, aurum et tus deferentes et laudem Domini annuntiantes.
   7 Omne pecus Cedar congregabitur tibi, arietes Nabaioth ministrabunt tibi; offerentur super placabili altari meo, et domum gloriae meae glorificabo.
   8 Quae sunt istae, quae ut nubes volant, et quasi columbae ad fenestras suas?
   9 Me enim insulae exspectabunt, et in principio naves Tharsis, ut adducant filios tuos de longe, argentum eorum et aurum eorum cum eis, nomini Domini Dei tui et Sancto Israel, quia glorificavit te.
   10 Et aedificabunt filii peregrinorum muros tuos, et reges eorum ministrabunt tibi; in indignatione enim mea percussi te, sed in beneplacito meo misertus sum tui.
   11 Et aperientur portae tuae iugiter, die ac nocte non claudentur, ut afferatur ad te fortitudo gentium, et reges earum adducantur.
   12 Gens enim et regnum, quae non servierint tibi, peribunt, et gentes vastitate vastabuntur.
   13 Gloria Libani ad te veniet, cupressus, ulmus et abies simul, ad ornandum locum sanctuarii mei; et locum pedum meorum glorificabo.
   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.
   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;
   16 et suges lac gentium et mamilla regum lactaberis et scies quia ego Dominus salvator tuus, et redemptor tuus Fortis Iacob.
   17 Pro aere afferam aurum et pro ferro afferam argentum et pro lignis aes et pro lapidibus ferrum; et ponam custodes tuos pacem et praepositos tuos iustitiam.
   18 Non audietur ultra violentia in terra tua, vastitas et contritio in terminis tuis; et vocabis Salutem muros tuos et portas tuas Laudem.
   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.
   20 Non occidet ultra sol tuus, et luna tua non minuetur, quia erit tibi Dominus in lucem sempiternam, et complebuntur dies luctus tui.
   21 Populus autem tuus omnes iusti; in perpetuum hereditabunt terram, germen plantationis meae, opus manus meae ad glorificandum.
   22 Minimus erit in mille, et parvulus in gentem fortem. Ego Dominus in tempore eius subito faciam istud.

King James Version

   1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
   2 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 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
   4 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 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 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 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 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
   9 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 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 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 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
   13 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
