Isaías 60

1 Levántate, resplandece; que viene tu lumbre, y la gloria del SEÑOR ha nacido sobre ti.

[You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!

2 Que he aquí, que tinieblas cubrirán la tierra, y oscuridad los pueblos; y sobre ti nacerá el SEÑOR, y sobre ti será vista su gloria.

[But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.

3 Y andarán los gentiles a tu lumbre, y los reyes al resplandor de tu nacimiento.

By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.

4 Alza tus ojos en derredor, y mira, todos éstos se han juntado, vinieron a ti; tus hijos vendrán de lejos, y tus hijas sobre el lado serán criadas.

[Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.

5 Entonces verás, y resplandecerás; y se maravillará y ensanchará tu corazón, que se haya vuelto a ti la multitud del mar, que la fortaleza de los gentiles haya venido a ti.

When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.

6 Multitud de camellos te cubrirá, dromedarios de Madián y de Efa; vendrán todos los de Seba; traerán oro e incienso, y publicarán alabanzas del SEÑOR.

People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.

7 Todo el ganado de Cedar será juntado para ti; carneros de Nebaiot te serán servidos; serán ofrecidos con gracia sobre mi altar, y glorificaré la Casa de mi gloria.

They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.

8 ¿Quiénes son éstos que vuelan como nubes, y como palomas a sus ventanas?

And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.

9 Porque a mí esperarán las islas, y las naves de Tarsis desde el principio, para traer tus hijos de lejos, su plata, y su oro con ellos, al nombre del SEÑOR tu Dios, y al Santo de Israel, que te ha glorificado.

But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.

10 Y los hijos de los extranjeros edificarán tus muros, y sus reyes te servirán; porque en mi ira te herí, mas en mi buena voluntad tendré de ti misericordia.

Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.

11 Tus puertas estarán de continuo abiertas; no se cerrarán de día ni de noche, para que sea traída a ti fortaleza de gentiles, y sus reyes guiados.

The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.

12 Porque la gente o el reino que no te sirviere, perecerá; y del todo serán asolados.

And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].

13 La gloria del Líbano vendrá a ti, hayas, pinos, y bojes juntamente, para honrar el lugar de mi Santuario; y yo honraré el lugar de mis pies.

The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!

14 Y vendrán a ti humillados los hijos de los que te afligieron; y a las pisadas de tus pies se encorvarán todos los que te escarnecían, y te llamarán Ciudad del SEÑOR, Sion del Santo de Israel.

The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.

15 En lugar de que has sido desechada y aborrecida, y que no había quien por ti pasase, te pondré en gloria eterna, en gozo de generación y generación.

Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.

16 Y mamarás la leche de los gentiles, el pecho de los reyes mamarás; y conocerás que yo soy el SEÑOR, el Salvador tuyo, y Redentor tuyo, el Fuerte de Jacob.

People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.

17 Por el bronce traeré oro, y por hierro plata, y por madera bronce, y por las piedras hierro; y pondré paz por tu gobierno, y justicia por tus opresores.

Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.

18 Nunca más se oirá en tu tierra violencia, destrucción y quebrantamiento en tus términos; mas a tus muros llamarás Salud, y a tus puertas Alabanza.

People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].

19 El sol nunca más te servirá de luz para el día, ni el resplandor de la luna te alumbrará; mas te será el SEÑOR por luz perpetua, y por tu gloria el Dios tuyo.

And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.

20 No se pondrá jamás tu sol, ni menguará tu luna; porque te será el SEÑOR por perpetua luz, y los días de tu luto serán acabados.

[It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].

21 Y tu pueblo, todos ellos serán justos, para siempre heredarán la tierra; serán renuevos de mi plantío, obra de mis manos, para glorificarme.

Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.

22 El pequeño será por mil; el menor, por gente fuerte. Yo, el SEÑOR, a su tiempo haré que esto sea presto.

At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
