Isaiah 60

qumi ori ki va orekh ukhevod Adonai alayikh zarakh

Arise, shine, for your light has dawned; The Presence of GOD has shone upon you!

ki-hinneh hakhoshekh yekhasseh-erets va'arafel le'ummim ve'alayikh yizrakh Adonai ukhevodo alayikh yera'eh

Behold! Darkness shall cover the earth, And thick clouds the peoples; But upon you GOD will shine, And God’s Presence be seen over you.

vehalekhu goyim le'orekh umelakhim lenogah zarkhekh

And nations shall walk by your light, Kings, by your shining radiance.

se'i-saviv enayikh ure'i kullam niqbetsu va'u-lakh banayikh merakhoq yavo'u uvenotayikh al-tsad te'amanah

Raise your eyes and look about: They have all gathered and come to you. Your sons shall be brought from afar, Your daughters like babes on shoulders.

az tiri venahart ufakhad verakhav levavekh ki-yehafekh alayikh hamon yam khel goyim yavo'u lakh

As you behold, you will glow; Your heart will throb and thrill— For the wealth of the sea shall pass on to you, The riches of nations shall flow to you.

shifat gemallim tekhassekh bikhre midyan ve'efah kullam misheva yavo'u zahav ulevonah yissa'u utehillot Adonai yevasseru

Dust clouds of camels shall cover you, Dromedaries of Midian and Ephah. They all shall come from Sheba; They shall bear gold and frankincense, And shall herald GOD’s glories.

kol-tson qedar yiqqavetsu lakh ele nevayot yesharetunekh ya'alu al-ratson mizbekhi uvet tifarti afa'er

All the flocks of Kedar shall be assembled for you, The rams of Nebaioth shall serve your needs; They shall be welcome offerings on My altar, And I will add glory to My glorious House.

mi-elleh ka'av te'ufenah vekhayyonim el-arubbotehem

Who are these that float like a cloud, Like doves to their cotes?

ki-li iyyim yeqavvu vo'oniyyot tarshish barishonah lehavi vanayikh merakhoq kaspam uzehavam ittam leshem Adonai elohayikh veliqdosh yisra'el ki fe'arakh

Behold, the coastlands await me, With ships of Tarshish in the lead, To bring your children from afar, And their silver and gold as well— For the name of the ETERNAL your God, For the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.

uvanu vene-nekhar khomotayikh umalkhehem yesharetunekh ki veqitspi hikkitikh uvirtsoni rikhamtikh

Aliens shall rebuild your walls, Their kings shall wait upon you— For in anger I struck you down, But in favor I take you back.

ufittekhu she'arayikh tamid yomam valaylah lo yissageru lehavi elayikh khel goyim umalkhehem nehugim

Your gates shall always stay open— Day and night they shall never be shut— To let in the wealth of the nations, With their kings in procession.

ki-haggoy vehammamlakhah asher lo-ya'avdukh yovedu vehaggoyim kharov yekheravu

For the nation or the kingdom That does not serve you shall perish; Such nations shall be destroyed.

kevod hallevanon elayikh yavo berosh tidhar ute'ashur yakhdav lefa'er meqom miqdashi umeqom raglay akhabbed

The majesty of Lebanon shall come to you— Cypress and pine and box— To adorn the site of My Sanctuary, To glorify the place where My feet rest.

vehalekhu elayikh shekhoakh bene me'annayikh vehishtakhavu al-kappot raglayikh kol-mena'atsayikh veqare'u lakh ir Adonai tsiyyon qedosh yisra'el

Bowing before you, shall come The children of those who tormented you; Prostrate at the soles of your feet Shall be all those who reviled you; And you shall be called “City of GOD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”

takhat heyotekh azuvah usenu'ah ve'en over vesamtikh ligon olam mesos dor vador

Whereas you have been forsaken, Rejected, with none passing through, I will make you a pride everlasting, A joy for age after age.

veyanaqt khalev goyim veshod melakhim tinaqi veyada'at ki ani Adonai moshi'ekh vego'alekh avir ya'aqov

You shall suck the milk of the nations, Suckle at royal breasts. And you shall know That I GOD am your Savior, I, The Mighty One of Jacob, am your Redeemer.

takhat hannekhoshet avi zahav vetakhat habbarzel avi khesef vetakhat ha'etsim nekhoshet vetakhat ha'avanim barzel vesamti fequddatekh shalom venogesayikh tsedaqah

Instead of copper I will bring gold, Instead of iron I will bring silver; Instead of wood, copper— And instead of stone, iron. And I will appoint Well-being as your government, Prosperity as your officials.

lo-yishama od khamas be'artsekh shod vashever bigvulayikh veqarat yeshu'ah khomotayikh ushe'arayikh tehillah

The cry “Violence!” Shall no more be heard in your land, Nor “Wrack and ruin!” Within your borders. And you shall name your walls “Victory” And your gates “Renown.”

lo-yihyeh-llakh od hashemesh le'or yomam ulenogah hayyareakh lo-ya'ir lakh vehayah-lakh Adonai le'or olam velohayikh letifartekh

No longer shall you need the sun For light by day, Nor the shining of the moon For radiance [by night]; For GOD shall be your light everlasting, Your God shall be your glory.

lo-yavo od shimshekh virekhekh lo ye'asef ki Adonai yihyeh-llakh le'or olam veshalemu yeme evlekh

Your sun shall set no more, Your moon no more withdraw; For GOD shall be a light to you forever, And your days of mourning shall be ended.

And your people, all of them righteous, Shall possess the land for all time; They are the shoot that I planted, My handiwork in which I glory.

haqqaton yihyeh la'elef vehatsa'ir legoy atsum ani Adonai be'ittah akhishennah

The smallest shall become a clan; The least, a mighty nation. I GOD will speed it in due time.
