Isaías 60

1 "Arise, shine; for your light has come,

and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you!

2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but Yahweh will arise on you,

and his glory shall be seen on you.

3 Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see:

they all gather themselves together.

They come to you.

Your sons will come from far away,

and your daughters will be carried in arms.

5 Then you shall see and be radiant,

and your heart will thrill and be enlarged;

because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you.

The wealth of the nations will come to you.

6 A multitude of camels will cover you,

the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah.

All from Sheba will come.

They will bring gold and frankincense,

and will proclaim the praises of Yahweh.

7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you.

The rams of Nebaioth will serve you.

They will be accepted as offerings on my altar;

and I will beautify my glorious house.

8 "Who are these who fly as a cloud,

and as the doves to their windows?

9 Surely the islands will wait for me,

and the ships of Tarshish first,

to bring your sons from far away,

their silver and their gold with them,

for the name of Yahweh your God,

and for the Holy One of Israel,

because he has glorified you.

10 "Foreigners will build up your walls,

and their kings will serve you;

for in my wrath I struck you,

but in my favor I have had mercy on you.

11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.

12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

14 The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you;

and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet.

They will call you Yahweh’s City,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

so that no one passed through you,

I will make you an eternal excellency,

a joy of many generations.

16 You will also drink the milk of the nations,

and will nurse from royal breasts.

Then you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior,

your Redeemer,

the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 For bronze I will bring gold;

for iron I will bring silver;

for wood, bronze,

and for stones, iron.

I will also make peace your governor,

and righteousness your ruler.

18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land,

nor desolation or destruction within your borders;

but you will call your walls Salvation,

and your gates Praise.

19 The sun will be no more your light by day,

nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you,

but Yahweh will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.

20 Your sun will not go down any more,

nor will your moon withdraw itself;

for Yahweh will be your everlasting light,

and the days of your mourning will end.

21 Then your people will all be righteous.

They will inherit the land forever,

the branch of my planting,

the work of my hands,

that I may be glorified.

22 The little one will become a thousand,

and the small one a strong nation.

I, Yahweh, will do this quickly in its time."

Te Whakaminenga o te Hunga Marara

1 "E ara, kia mārama; kua tae mai hoki tōu mārama,

kua whiti te korōria o Ihowā ki a koe.

2 Tērā hoki e hīpokina te whenua e te pōuri,

ngā iwi e te pōuri kerekere;

ka whiti ia a Ihowā ki a koe,

ka kitea hoki ki a koe tōna korōria.

3 Ā, ka haere mai ngā tauiwi ki tōu mārama,

ngā kīngi ki ōu hihi, ina whiti mai.

4 "Kia ara ōu kanohi i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha, titiro atu hoki;

kei te huihui rātou katoa, e haere mai ana ki a koe;

ka haere mai āu tama i tawhiti,

ka hikitia hoki āu tamāhine ki ngā ringa.

5 Ka kite koe i reira, ka whakamāramatia,

ka wehi anō tōu ngākau, ka nui;

nō te mea ka tahuri ki a koe ngā mea maha o te moana,

ka tae anō ki a koe ngā taonga o ngā tauiwi.

6 Ka kapi koe i te kāmera, he tini;

i ngā kāmera tere o Miriana, o Epa.

Ka haere mai ērā katoa i Hēpā,

me te mau mai anō i te kōura, i te whakakakara;

ka kauwhautia anō e rātou ngā whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā.

7 Ka huihuia ngā hipi katoa o Kerara ki a koe,

hei kaimahi māu ngā hipi toa o Nepaiota;

ka manakohia rātou ina eke ki runga ki tāku āta,

ā, ka whakakorōriatia e ahau te whare o tōku korōria.

8 "Ko wai ēnei e rere nei ānō he kapua,

me he kūkupa nei, ki ō rātou matapihi?

9 He pono ka tatari ngā motu ki ahau,

me ngā kaipuke o Tarahihi i te tuatahi,

ki te kawe mai i āu tama i tawhiti;

i a rātou, i tā rātou hiriwa, i tā rātou kōura hoki,

hei mea ki te ingoa o Ihowā, o tōu Atua,

ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira,

nō te mea ka oti koe te whakakorōria e ia.

10 "Ka hangā anō ōu taiepa e ngā tāngata kē,

ko ō rātou kīngi anō hei kaimahi māu.

He riri hoki nōku i patu ai ahau i a koe,

he manako ia nāku i atawhai ai ahau i a koe.

11 Ka tuwhera tonu anō ōu kūwaha;

e kore e tūtakina i te ao, i te pō,

kia kawea mai ai ngā taonga o ngā tauiwi ki a koe,

kia ārahina mai ai hoki ō rātou kīngi me rātou.

12 Ko te iwi hoki, me te kīngitanga

e kore e mahi ki a koe, ka ngaro;

inā, ka mōtī rawa aua iwi.

13 "Ka tae mai te korōria o Repanōna ki a koe,

te kauri, te rimu, me te ake ngātahi hei whakapaipai,

mō te wāhi i tōku kāinga tapu,

ā, ka whakakorōriatia e ahau te wāhi o ōku waewae.

14 Ka haere mai anō, ka piko ki a koe ngā tama a ōu kaitūkino,

ā, ko te hunga katoa i whakahāwea ki a koe,

ka piko ki ngā kapu o ōu waewae;

ā, ka kīia koe, Ko te pā o Ihowā,

Ko te Hiona o te Mea Tapu o Īharaira.

15 "He mea whakarere nei koe i mua, he mea i kinongia,

kāhore hoki tētahi kia haere i waenganui i a koe,

nā, ka meinga koe e ahau hei mea nui e mau tonu ana,

he koanga ngākau ki ngā whakatupuranga maha.

16 Ka ngotea anō e koe te waiū o ngā tauiwi,

ka ngotea te ū o ngā kīngi;

ā, ka mōhio koe ko ahau, ko Ihowā,

tōu kaiwhakaora, tōu kaihoko, te Mea Nui o Hākopa.

17 "Ko te parāhi ka whakaputaia kētia e ahau hei kōura,

ko te rino ka whakaputaia kētia hei hiriwa.

Ka puta kē te rākau hei parāhi,

ka puta kē ngā kōhatu hei rino.

Ko ōu kaitohutohu ka meinga he rongo e mau ana,

ko ōu kaiakiaki he tika.

18 E kore e rangona i muri te mahi nanakia ki tōu whenua;

te whakamōtī, te wāwāhi, ki ōu rohe;

engari ka kīia ōu taiepa, ko te Whakaoranga,

ōu kūwaha ko te Whakamoemiti."

Ko Ihowā te Korōria o Hiona

19 "E kore te rā e waiho i muri

hei whakamārama mōu i te awatea;

nā, ko te marama e tīaho nei,

e kore tērā e whakamārama i a koe;

ko Ihowā hoki hei whakamārama mōu ake ake,

ko tōu Atua hoki hei whakakorōria i a koe.

20 Heoi anō hekenga o tōu rā,

e kore anō tōu marama e pewa;

nō te mea ko Ihowā hei whakamārama pūmau mōu,

ā, ka mutu ngā rā o tōu tangihanga.

21 Ko tōu iwi hoki, tika katoa,

ka pūmau tonu ki a rātou te whenua.

Te peka whakatō nāku, he mahi nā ōku ringa,

kia whai korōria ai ahau.

22 Tō te mea nohinohi putanga ake, he mano,

tō te mea iti, he iwi kaha;

māku, mā Ihowā,

e whakahohoro i tōna wā e rite ai."
